Theory of liquid chromatography of mono- and difunctional macromolecules. I. Studies in the critical interaction mode.
The theory of liquid chromatography of mono- and difunctional polymers based on the model of ideal polymer chain in wide slit-like pores is presented. Analytical equations describing chromatographic behavior of functional macromolecules in both adsorption, exclusion and critical modes are derived and compared with experiments. The focus of this experimental study was on the verification of the theory in chromatography at critical conditions. Chromatographic behavior of low molar mass end-functionalized polyethylene glycols was found to be in a very good qualitative and in a reasonable quantitative agreement with the theory.
