1 Degradation of Polyethylene by FTIR and High Temperature GPC CASE STUDY Degradation of Polyethylene by FTIR and High Temperature GPC PROBLEM The objective of this analysis was to determine if thermal degradation had occurred in a polyethylene sample by Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis (FTIR) and High Temperature Tetradetection Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC-HT). ANALYTICAL STRATEGY FTIR is will be used to identify the portion of brown discoloration of the polyethylene sample, while high temperature GPC will be performed to compare the molecular weights of the sample and a virgin polyethylene. CONCLUSIONS The FTIR spectrum of the sample was found to be consistent with oxidized polyethylene. The failed PE sample was found to show an increase in molecular weight as compared to the virgin material. Read the following report to see the full analysis. Page 1

3 Page 2 of 33 Date Client Name Company Name Address Dear Valued Client, Please find enclosed the test results for your sampled described as: 1. Virgin PE sheet 2. Failed PE Sheet (Lot# ASABFY) The following tests were performed: 1. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) 2. High Temperature Tetradetection Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC-HT) Objective The objective of this analysis was to determine if thermal degradation had occurred in a polyethylene sample by Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis (FTIR) and High Temperature Tetradetection Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC-HT). Summary of Results Visual observation of the sample shows a brown discoloration in the failed PE sheet as shown in Image 1. The FTIR spectrum of the sample was compared to our database of ~23,000 entries and found to be consistent with oxidized polyethylene. The peak at 1722 cm -1 is diagnostic for C=O which is consistent with oxidation of the polymer. Table II shows the molecular weight values as determined by GPC-HT. The failed PE sample was found to show an increase in molecular weight as compared to the virgin material. This is at first counter intuitive but is often observed in polyolefin degradation due to the onset of crosslinking.
4 Page 3 of 33 Individual Test Results A summary of the individual test results is provided below. All accompanying data, including spectra, has been included in the data section of this report. FTIR Image 1. Sample Lot# ASABFY A thin portion of the sample was extracted using a clean, sharp razor blade and analyzed by FT-IR. The spectrum was compared to our library database of ~23,000 entries and found to be consistent with oxidized polyethylene. The presence of additional peaks at 1722 and 1182 cm -1 suggests oxidation. These bands are consistent with C=O and ether functional groups. Table 1 shows the peak identifications for the failed sample and the virgin polyethylene. Figure 1 shows the FT-IR spectrum for the failed sample and Figure 2 shows the spectrum of the virgin polyethylene sample.

FT-IR Spectrum Overlay of Failed Polyethylene (black) and Oxidized Polyethylene (light blue) Best Match GPC-HT Table II shows the results for a series of standards analyzed to demonstrate system performance. Polystyrene standards were analyzed with weight average molecular weights of 233,643 and 99,420. Confirmation of the accuracy of our calibration was achieved by running a linear polyethylene standard that was obtained from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (1475a). Table III shows the results for the samples. The method of known dn/dc was applied for the samples as the chemistry was known. Overlays are provided for the polyethylene samples in Figures 5-8. The failed PE sample was found to show a higher molecular weight as compared to the virgin resin. A significant increase in the light scattering signal was observed as shown in Figure 6. This indicates the presence of crosslinking in the degraded sample. Table II.
