AbstractProcedures were developed for the analysis of copolyesters and copolyamides by saponification or hydrolysis of the copolymers to their component dicarboxylic acids, glycols, amino acids, or diamines and quantitatively identifying these by gas chromatography. The alcohols, amines and acids were converted to volatile trimethylsilyl derivatives for the analysis, and linear correlations were observed between carbon atom contents of these derivatives and retention times in the chromatograph.
