Abstract

A mass spectrometric method for the determination of acetone in the presence of polymers has been suggested. Perdeuterated acetone was used as the internal standard. The method was employed in a quantitative determination of (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-yl) methyl methacrylate units in copolymers with methyl methacrylate and in the determination of copolymerization parameters.
