Tóm tắt

AbstractThe sequence distributions of poly(β‐hydroxyalknoate) copolymers were determined by analyzing oligomers obtaned by the pyrolysis direct‐chemical‐ionization (DCI) mass spectrometry technique. Oligomers up to nonamers were identified and the comparison between the experimental and calculated peak intensities makes it possible to calculate repeating unit compositions and sequence distributions. Comparison with other earlier methods are given.

Plage and Schulten in Ref. 23 (1990) have reported a field‐ionizaton spectrum of PHB showing peaks up to nonamers so that the possibility of applying a direct pyrolysis mass spectrometric method to obtain higher oligomers of PHAs was already known. Therefore although DCI mass spectra of PHAs were obtained by us almost simltaneously (January 1990) to our partial pyrolysis‐FAB‐MS work 13we did not publish these DCI data until their quantitative significance and the relationship between peak intensity and relative abundance of the oligomers could be completely investigated.
