A monitoring of the individual pyrolysis of mixed polymer as a binder for ceramic processing was carried out as an application of evolved gas analysis-mass spectrometry (EGA-MS) with a skimmer interface and ion attachment mass spectrometry (IAMS). It could detect characteristic species evolved by the pyrolysis of the organic additives, according to the instrumental advantages as the transmission of the gaseous species with no transformation by the skimmer interface and complete soft ionization for gaseous species by IAMS technique. Further, the pyrolysis behavior of blended polymers as a binder could be monitored individually as EGA curves of characteristic species evolved by the pyrolyses.
