Thermogravimetry and on-line flash pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used for studying thermal decomposition processes in filled polyamides deriving from used cars. The thermal decomposition of each polymer begins at about 350 deg C and proceeds with a weight loss of 100 % for the non-glass fibres, under nitrogen atmosphere. The analysis of the pyrolyzate compounds shows that from polyamide 66, the most abundant product volatile at degradation temperatures is cyclopentanone, while from polyamide 6 there is a considerable yield of epsilon-caprolactam.
