Analytical Pyrolysis of Natural Organic Polymers, Second Edition, Volume 20  describes the methodology of analytical pyrolysis, the results of pyrolysis for a variety of biopolymers, and several practical applications of analytical pyrolysis on natural organic polymers and their composite materials. The book describes the results of pyrolysis for biopolymers and some chemically modified natural organic polymers. In addition, the many applications of analytical pyrolysis are covered in detail, including topics such as polymer detection used in forensic science, structure elucidation of specific polymers, and identification of small molecules present in polymers (anti-oxidants, plasticizers, etc.). Assembles all essential information on the pyrolysis of natural polymers in one volume, together with the techniques and instrumentation usedCovers advances and developments over the last 20 years, including discussions on the many different types of apparatus commercially availableIncludes reference lists in every chapter to guide readers on a path to further study

Pyrolysis is involved in many practical applications as well as in many common human activities, but harmful compounds can be generated in the process. This title provides a comprehensive description of pyrolysis of non-polymeric organic molecules. It offers information on mechanisms and kinetics of numerous pyrolytic processes.
