Abstract
The preparation of ground low‐density poly(ethylene) (LDPE), high‐density poly(ethylene) (HDPE), and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) materials suitable for use by inverse gas chromatography (IGC) experiments is described. Materials prepared showed a smaller and more uniform particle size, 83–86 µm (200 mesh), than commercially available Chromosorb® W solid chromatography support. In addition, the BET surface area of polymeric materials, 0.367–0.559 m2/cm3, was much greater than the surface area of 150‐ to 212‐µm‐diameter glass beads. The use of polymeric materials with uniform particle sizes and defined surface areas have several advantages over polymer coated Chromosorb® W and glass beads in IGC experiments.
