چکیده

Polystyrene gels crosslinked in the presence of dilucnts have been iliatie in tinc-iiii.sli bead forni suitable for packing into chromatographic rolurnns. A series of narrow molecular weight range pol) mer fractions w&s eluted through such columns with aromatic and chlorinated solvents. EfHuent concentrations were detected and recorded by a continuous differential refractoineter. The fractions were shown to be efficiently separated. Columns capable o f separating adjacent polymeric samples of high niolecular weight were prepared from gels crosslinked in the presence of large amounts of diluents having little or no solvent action on polystyrene. Smaller proportions of diluents and those with niore solvent action yielded columns with lower molecular weight permeability limits. Such studies provided a unique quantitative view of the tnpdIJgy of the gels. They :&w denionstratcd that rapid repetitive niolecular weight distribution data can be obtained in this way on pdyniws for which solvents wmp:ttiI)k with tlic gcls :in* available.

High Performance Gel Permeation Chromatography of Polymers

The determination of the molecular weight distribution by gel permeation chromatography requires the establishment of a molecular weight calibration and efficient columns in order to minimise chromatogram broadening. The separation process is described in terms of steric exclu— sion, retardation and partial exclusion mechanisms in order to show how the universal calibration method may be influe...

Gel permeation chromatography coupled to fourier transform mass spectrometry for polymer characterization.

We report an on-line coupling of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) to Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) using a modified commercial electrospray ionization (ESI) interface. Selected oligomer profiles for the sodiated (1+ through 5+ charge states) oligomer ions of a narrow-molecular-weight poly(methyl methacrylate) were generated and used for obtaining a calibration curve. Using the M...

Calculation of Molecular Weight Distribution from Molecular Weight Moments in Free Radical Polymerization

A novel method is presented for the calculation of weight chain length distribution in free radical polymerization of vinyl monomers. In the proposed method, polymerization kinetic equations and molecular weight moment equations are used in conjunction with a function that defines the weight fraction of polymer in a finite chain length interval. The entire range of molecular weight is divided i...

Identification of Colored Components Produced in Sugar Beet Processing Using Gel-Permeation Chromatography (GPC) with UV and RI Detection

Sugar juices in the production of beet sugar contain complex varieties of colored materials that have not been identified completely. Color of the sugar depends the color of juices from which sugar is produced. The mechanisms concerning color formation in beet sugar processing are complicated due to many parameters involved. The main mechanisms related to the color formation during purification...

Polymer Characterization: Polymer Molecular Weight Determination

Polymers are large molecules consisting of a large number of small component molecules chemically linked together. They are made from constituent monomers through polymerization process. Polymers are unique materials in that they consist of a statistical distribution of chains of varying lengths, and each chain consists of monomer residues which affect its properties hence they require several ...
