A radio frequency glow discharge mass spectrometry (rf‐GDMS) source is evaluated for future applications in the “fingerprint” characterization of polyphosphazene membranes. The rf‐GDMS spectra of a series of bis(phenoxy)phosphazene polymers contain ions that originate from both the phosphazene backbone and the phenoxy moiety, resulting in signature ions of the polymer family. “Fingerprint” ions from the substituted R‐group on the phenoxy moiety of the different derivatives allows the individual polymers to be distinguished from one another. The ability of the rf‐GDMS source to characterize these materials directly in the solid state will be useful for the continued application of these polymers as separation membranes. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
