Composition of polymers detected in: Aย upper wrack zone (>โ€‰1ย mm); Bย upper wrack zone (<โ€‰1ย mm); Cย lower wrack zone (>โ€‰1ย mm); Dย lower wrack zone (<โ€‰1ย mm); and Eย all samples combined. Polymers were identified using ยต-FTIR. Note: the percentage of polyamide (PA) may be underestimated as the samples were dried near the glass transition temperature which may affect detection of the polymer by FTIR
