title: Reversed-phase HPLC of polymer additives with multiple on-line spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, (1)H NMR and MS).
abstract: The reversed-phase chromatography of a number of polymer additives has been undertaken with on-line characterisation via a combination of diode array UV, (1)H NMR, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. This combination of spectrometers enabled the on-flow collection of full UV, (1)H NMR, IR and mass spectra for a range of common polymer additives in amounts ranging from ca. 230 to 900 micro g on-column. The practical difficulties associated with multiple hyphenation and potential future developments are discussed.
