Use of Chromatographic Measurements for the Physical and Chemical Characterization of Polymer Beads.

Abstract

Rate theory was used to examine further the interaction between the selected group of molecular probes and polymer beads. Relative peak broadening was measured as a function of both flow rate and temperature to provide a chromatographic evaluation of molecular probe-polymer interaction occurring during the chromatographic process, as well as to deduce information about the polymer beads' physical and chemical properties. Quantitative analysis for 22 metals using atomic absorption and scanning electron microscopy were used to find independent evidence which might be useful in interpretation of chromatographic data. The peak broadening data was obtained by using a computer-control system and was processed by use of interactive graphics.
