Notes:
Pyrolysis-capillary gas chromatography combined with on-line alkylation has been employed for compositional analysis of liquid crystalline aromatic polyesters (LCPs) based on p- hydroxybenzoic acid. The fundamental conditions were examined using an LCP prepared from p-hydroxybenzoic acid, terephthalic acid, and 4,4′-biphenol and every constituent of a sample weighing ca. 50 μg was almost quantitatively recovered as its dimethyl derivative in the pyrogram obtained following pyrolysis at 400°C in the presence of 1 μl of 25% tetramethyl-ammonium hydroxide in methanol. The compositions of a variety of terpolyesters and LCPs containing isophthalic acid or 2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid units have been precisely deter-mined by pyrolysis-methylation GC.
