Abstract

AbstractA new universal calibration for gel permeation chromatography is proposed in which the hydrodynamic volume of the macromolecular chains is expressed by the quantity [η]M/Φ instead of the commonly used quantity [η]M (where [η] is the intrinsic viscosity, M is the molecular mass, and Φ is Flory's parameter). Introducing Φ into the hydrodynamic volume is necessary because its value changes from one polymer to another when the polymers present a certain draining effect. The proposed procedure also allows the determination of Φ of any wormlike polymer. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 41: 707–710, 2003
