✦ Synopsis


The positive SIMS spectrum of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been obtained with a mass resolution in excess of 8000 and all the components assigned up to m/z 200 based on accurate mass measurements. Aspects of the interpretation of the spectrum, previously based on quadrupole SIMS data from a number of acrylic polymers, need to be revised significantly. In particular, the spectrum is dominated by oxygencontaining fragments derived from oligomeric units rather than hydrocarbon fragments derived from the polymer backbone. To aid further the understanding of the fragmentation of acrylic polymers, a less-detailed study of poly(methyl acrylate) has also been carried out.
