Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography of Natural Rubber and Synthetic Polyisoprene

Abstract
Pyrolysis gas Chromatographic isothermal and temperature programed separation of volatile components of unvulcanized natural rubber and synthetic polyisoprene was made on P-E columns Q and U. Besides identifications, relative quantitative differences between pyrolysis degradations of natural rubber and synthetic polyisoprene in pyrolysis temperature range 550°–750° C were established. It was found that the method was not suitable for an analogous study of vulcanized samples.
