The examination of some vinyl acetate/olefin copolymers by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry.
A study of the thermal degradation of some vinyl acetate/olefin copolymers reveals that side chain scissions at the backbone and scissions within the side chains themselves yield fragments which are apparently characteristic of the parent olefin.
