Abstract
The thermal degradation of industrially manufactured polymers based on polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene was studied. The pyrolysis was carried out in a tubular quartz pyrolyzer at 510°C and the products were separated on capillary columns coated with squalane and OV-17 and were identified on the basis of their retention indices.
