Polymers are present in daily life. From the wrappings around the food we eat to the sacks used for the garbage, polymers are practically everywhere. The automobile is no exception. Polymers comprise greater than 40% of a modern automobile; the carpet, seats, padding, knobs, switches, dashboard and cosmetic coverings are composed of one polymer or another.
This application note will describe the analysis of the various polymers in an automobile immediately accessible to investigation.
