Polymethylmethacrylate end-group analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS)

End-groups of polymethylmethacrylate from screened anionic polymerisation, catalytic chain transfer polymerisation and group transfer polymerisation are determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS).
