Abstract
The samples of sodium salt of methacrylic acid/acrylic acid‐2‐isooctyl ester/2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropanesulfonic acid terpolymer (SSMAA) were synthesized by free radical solution polymerization. The absolute weight‐average molar mass (Mw ) and polydispersity (Mw /Mn ) of the polymers were successfully determined using aqueous‐based gel permeation chromatography coupled with multiangle laser light scattering. The results show that mixed solutions of highly concentrated buffered salt (NaNO3 or NaCl and NaH2PO4 ) and organic solvent modifier (methanol) are needed to eliminate the undesirable interactions between polymer and polymer, and between polymer and stationary phase. Dynamic light scattering was first used to investigate the aggregation behavior of SSMAA in a variety of potential mobile phase compositions and screen the optimum compositions. The Mw and Mw /Mn values of the three samples prepared with different amount of initiator are 13500, 5820, and 2490 g/mol and 1.52, 1.45, and 1.47, respectively.
