Abstract

AbstractDistinctions between liquid chromatography of synthetic polymers under critical conditions (LC CC) and liquid chromatography under limiting conditions (LC LC) are elucidated. Surface adsorption retention mechanism of macromolecules is employed in the chromatographic systems composed of 10 and 30 nm pore diameter bare silica gels, poly (methyl methacrylate)s of different molar masses, and mixed eluents acetonitrile/dichloromethane of different compositions, and at different temperatures. Increased robustness of the LC LC methods compared to LC CC is confirmed: the LC LC elution behavior is much less sensitive to eluent composition changes compared to LC CC. Still, the LC CC system under study is, surprisingly robust in terms of temperature variations. LC LC methods produce narrow, focused polymer peaks while a peak broadening is observed in LC CC. The results demonstrate importance of sample solvent applied in the isocratic coupled polymer HPLC methods.
