Riassunto:

Analytical Pyrolysis of Synthetic Organic Polymers is a follow-up to Analytical Pyrolysis of Natural Organic Polymers, which is volume 20 of the series. The main focus of the book is on practical applications of analytical pyrolysis in synthetic organic polymer identification and characterization.
The first part of the book has five chapters including an introduction, a discussion on physico-chemistry of thermal degradation of synthetic polymers and on instrumentation used in analytical pyrolysis, a chapter discussing what type of information can be obtained from analytical pyrolysis, and a chapter dedicated to the analysis and characterization of synthetic polymers.
The second part systematically covers the analytical pyrolysis of various classes of synthetic polymers. Some theoretical background for the understanding of polymer structure using analytical pyrolysis is also discussed.

* Includes broad coverage of organic synthetic macromolecules
* Focuses on physico-chemistry of thermal degradation, and the analytical pyrolysis of various classes of synthetic polymers
* Is well written and suitable for both researchers and chemists working in analytical chemistry or in synthetic polymers

Informazioni sull'autore:

Dr. Serban C. Moldoveanu held several teaching positions at the University of Bucharest, Romania, until 1983, when he immigrated to the United States. There, he continued teaching at the university level for several years before focusing primarily on industrial research. He served as Senior Principal Scientist at R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and retired at the end of 2023. His research has centered on various aspects of chromatography, including method development for the analysis of natural products using GC/MS, HPLC, and LC/MS/MS. He has also investigated the pyrolysis of a variety of polymers and organic compounds. Dr. Moldoveanu has published more than 150 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 8 books with Elsevier, approximately 22 patents/patent applications, and several book chapters. He was honored with the Tobacco Science Research Conference Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012 and currently serves as an editor for three chemistry journals.
