Polymer material

Organized by Takaya Satoh
The development of high-performance materials with high added value is progressing in the industrial field. On the other hand, there are a wide range of issues, such as quality control, defect and deterioration analysis of products, problems with the use of recycled materials, and analysis of microplastics that have leaked into the environment. Approaches in mass spectrometry include pyrolysis GC-MS, LC-MS, and MALDI-TOFMS, each of which has seen recent advances, and the analytical methods of the acquired data are also attracting attention. This session will discuss how these methods can be used to address the above issues. We will discuss pre-treatment, separation, ionization, mass spectrometry imaging, ion mobility, data analysis, and procedures combined with various analytical techniques.
