Analysis of Advanced materials by FD-FI using AccuTOF GC (Part II)
Introduction
Field Ionization (FI) is a soft ionization method which ionizes analytes by electron tunneling from analyte molecules to a solid surface (emitter) in a high electric field. The vaporized analyte molecules are introduced into the proximity of the emitter in order for ionization to occur.
In this work, we have analyzed multifunctional thiols, which are curing agents for functional polymers, by GC/EI and GC/FI methods and then compared the resulting mass spectra.
