A combination system of thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and Fourier-transform infrared absorption spectroscopy (FT-IR) was described. This simultaneous TG-DTA/FT-IR technique gave spectroscopic and weight loss information about the thermal degradation process of engineering polyesters; poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) and poly(butylene terephthalate)(PBT). The evolved gases from PET were benzoic acid, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, while those from PBT were terephthalic acid esters and benzoic acid esters.
