An apparatus has been developed and constructed for the characterization of the volatile constituents of polymeric materials. The data generated can be used to predict the drying times and volatile concentrations and evolution rates after long-term storage. The condensable and non-condensable volatiles also can be identified, which allows the prediction of compatibility problems when two materials are placed together. Generation of volatile component profiles as a part of material selection and decrease future compatibility problems.
