Abstract: An app. for thermal decompn. of polymers is described. The app. consists of a glass tube contg. a compartment for the sample. The sample is connected to an iron support, which is removed magnetically so the sample falls to the bottom of the tube where a SiO₂ tube is placed. The SiO₂ tube is heated in an elec. oven to pyrolyze the sample. The pyrolysis gases are analyzed by gas chromatography. The amt. of propylene from polypropylene increased with the temp. of pyrolysis and had a max. at 655°.
