High-resolution NMR spectroscopy is the most versatile, reliable, and generally acceptable technique for the determination of the microstructure of polymers. 2D NMR techniques, along with 1D NMR, have more potential to study absolute configurational assignments and sequence distribution of copolymers. Physical and chemical properties of polymers are influenced fundamentally by their microstructure. We discuss the detailed microstructure analysis of a large number of homopolymers, copolymers, and terpolymers. 2D NMR study of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA), and poly(methacrylonitrile) (PMAN) is discussed in this article. In addition to homopolymers, 2D heteronuclear single-quantum coherence (HSQC), total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY), and heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) study of different copolymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methyl acrylate), poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate), and poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylonitrile) have also been reported here. This in turn helps in microstructural analysis of terpolymers such as poly(methacrylonitrile-co-styrene-co-methyl methacrylate), poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl methacrylate-co-methyl acrylate), and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate-co-carbon monoxide).

Abstract A headspace GC/MS method was developed for identification and quantitation of residual volatile organic compounds in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) kitchen utensils. A sample was cut into small pieces, then N,N-dimethylacetamide was added in a headspace vial and sealed. After storing for more than 1 day at room temperature, the vial was incubated for 1 h at 90°C, and the headspace gas was analyzed by GC/MS. In 24 PMMA kitchen utensils, 16 volatile organic compounds including methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, toluene, 2-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 2-methylpropanal, methyl propionate, methyl isobutyrate, trans-3-heptene, heptane, cis-3-heptene, trans-2-heptene, cis-2-heptene, 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene, and 1-octene were identified and quantitated. These 15 volatile compounds except methyl methacrylate were found for the first time in PMMA kitchen utensils. Recovery rates from spiked samples were 97.4–104.0% with CV values of 2.8–9.6%. Samples contained 190–7900 μg/g of methyl methacrylate, 26–810 μg/g of methyl acrylate, and 2–1300 μg/g of toluene; other compounds were at levels less than 100 μg/g. Methyl methacrylate was the main monomer of PMMA and methyl acrylate was a comonomer; toluene should be used as a solvent.
