Abstract
The feasibility of using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) for the analysis of two industrial polymers is investigated. Using a commercially available LA system and ICP-MS two cases studies are performed using semiquantitative analysis. For a filled polymer film, results are obtained for 10 elements of interest that compare well to solution inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) results. For the analysis of platinum catalyst in a silicon-coated polyester film, results are obtained that compare well to prepared values. The conclusion that LA-ICP-MS may be used to replace traditional, time-consuming analyses within the necessary data quality objectives is made.
