title: Ionic liquids enable accurate chromatographic analysis of polyelectrolytes.
abstract: The molecular weight distribution of polyelectrolytes was determined with high performance liquid chromatography using ionic liquids as eluents, because the electrostatic repulsion among polyelectrolytes was entirely suppressed in it. A mixed sample of polycation and polyanion was also analysed to detect them independently.
