Effects of Processing Temperature on Release of Bisphenol A from PC: A Multi-Technique Analytical Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

The degradation of polycarbonate (PC) food contact materials was studied based on analysis with GC-MS, FTIR, UV-Vis and TG techniques. It was evident that the processing temperature of the materials significantly enhanced the release of bisphenol A, an endocrine disruptor. Investigation of the redshift of UV band also revealed that high temperatures accelerated the aging degradation of PC.
