Mass spectrometry of intact synthetic polymers has been limited to field desorption (FD) MS
for many years. More recently, soft ionization techniques such as electrospray (ESI) and …

In recent years, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass
spectroscopy has become a routine analytical tool for the structural analysis of polymers …

All previous sections describe somewhat traditional forms of laser processing in that they
follow the model of PLD, ie, laser/target interaction produce a plume of material that is then …

Mass spectrometry of polymers and polymeric surfaces represents a very broad field of
active research. There are many different experimental techniques used to probe polymers …

Regioregular, head-to-tail coupled, poly (3-alkylthiophenes), synthesized by three different
methods, were subjected to MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Polymer samples of both high and low …

The detection of very high molecular weight narrow polydisperse poly (styrene) samples by
MALDI time-of-flight mass spectrometry is reported. It is shown that accurate molecular …

Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry has been applied over the
past 5 years with increasing success to the analysis of synthetic polymers. Basic principles …

We report the electrical characterization of field effect transistors based on regioregular poly
(3-hexylthiophene)(RRP3HT) nanofibers fabricated using nanostencil shadow masks …

A combination of liquid matrix and graphite particulates (2 μm) has been proposed as a
method suitable for the laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of peptides and …

A method of solvent‐free sample preparation is shown to be of universal applicability for
matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI‐MS). Results …
