Résumé

A direct analytical method developed to characterize UV-cured networks based on multi-step pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) is presented. Application of the method to characterize (meth)acrylate-based UV-cured networks is discussed. The reversion process of methacrylates is clearly observed during pyrolysis. In contrast, the decomposition of acrylates in high molecular weight degradation products is hardly detected. The potential impact of this technique to elucidate the structural and compositional nature of UV-cured polymeric networks is highlighted.
