Quantification of Tire Wear Particles in Road Dust Using Py-GC/MS
Understanding Tire Wear Particles in the Environment The increasing use of automobiles has brought a growing environmental concern: tire wear particles (TWPs). As vehicle tires continuously come into contact with road surfaces, their tread gradually wears down and releases tiny particles into the surrounding environment. These particles, commonly referred to as tire and road wear…

Multilayer Polymer Film Analysis Using Py-GC/MS: Qualitative and Quantitative Characterization
Multilayer Polymer Film Analysis Using Py-GC/MS: Qualitative and Quantitative Characterization Introduction Multilayer polymer films are widely used in food packaging because combining different polymers in separate layers can provide multiple functional properties, including gas barrier performance, heat sealability, heat resistance, and printability. However, characterizing these materials can be challenging because several polymers contribute to the…
