Study of the composition of low-molecular products of the thermal oxidative destruction of atactic polypropylene by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

The paper presents the results of studying the composition of low-molecular products of the thermal oxidative destruction of atactic polypropylene by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Special attention has been paid to the investigation of the mass spectra of compounds dominating in the composition of low-molecular products of the incomplete oxidative destruction of the original polymer, carried out for the synthesis of components for composite materials of the new generation. The most probable molecular structures of the studied compounds are determined on the basis of fragmentation patterns.
