MALDI Mass Spectrometry for Synthetic Polymer Analysis Tapa dura - 2009 - 1st Edición

Descripción de contraportada

Tested and proven practices from the experts for

successful polymer characterization and analysis

Written by a team of leading mass spectrometry experts, this book enables readers to avoid the many pitfalls that often occur during the MALDI MS analysis of synthetic polymers by guiding them through each step of the procedure. It carefully explains the principles of polymer mass spectrometry and sets forth the best practices in using MALDI MS, emphasizing the specific skills and techniques required for polymer analysis and characterization. With the book's careful guidance, readers gain new skills in:

• Selecting the optimal method to characterize a particular sample

• Preparing and handling samples

• Analyzing data and interpreting the results

Following an overview of MS and MALDI Mass Spectrometry for Synthetic Polymer Analysis, each chapter is dedicated to a specific technique or method, including:

• Time-of-flight MS for polymer characterization

• Tandem MS and polymer ion dissociation

• New approaches to data reduction in MS

• MALDI MS applications for industrial polymers

The authors of each chapter describe the underlying principles of the technique or method, its attributes in polymer characterization, shortcomings, and efforts for further development and improvement. Examples of applications and experiments are provided alongside tips to help readers perform seamless analyses.

Because of the great diversity in polymer chemistry, there is no universal approach for MALDI MS analysis of polymers. With this book, readers can choose and apply the right analytical protocol to characterize and analyze any polymer sample.
