Springer LaboratoryMultidimensional HPLC of Polymers (2013) Harald Pasch, Bernd Trathnigg (Springer Laboratory) ISBN: 978-3-642-36079-4 (Print) 978-3-642-36080-0 (Online).

Publisher Description: This book presents the principle ideas of combining different analytical techniques in multi-dimensional analysis schemes. It reviews the basic principles and instrumentation of multi-dimensional chromatography and the hyphenation of liquid chromatography with selective spectroscopic detectors and presents experimental protocols for the analysis of complex polymers. It is the consequent continuation of "HPLC of Polymers" from 1999 by the same authors. Like its 'predecessor', this book discusses the theoretical background, equipment, experimental procedures and applications for each separation technique, but in contrast treats multi-dimensional and coupled techniques. "Multidimensional HPLC of Polymers" intends to review the state of the art in polymer chromatography and to summarize the developments in the field during the last 15 years. With its tutorial and laboratory manual style it is written for beginners as well as for experienced chromatographers, and will enable its readers (polymer chemists, physicists and material scientists, as well as students of polymer and analytical sciences) to optimize the experimental conditions for their specific separation problems.

 

Light Scattering, Size Exclusion Chromatography and Asymmetric Flow Field Flow Fractionation: Powerful Tools for the Characterization of Polymers, Proteins and Nanoparticles (2011) Stepan Podzimek, (Wiley)

Publisher Description: This book focuses on three important methods of polymer analysis: light scattering, size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (A4F). These methods are important primarily in polymer science, but also in advanced materials science and emerging technologies. Readers will learn how light scattering measurements can easily provide absolute molar mass and size without any calibration or using reference standards and how its potential can be multiplied by the combination with a separation technique. Current users of conventional SEC will learn that a light scattering detector effectively solves the crucial problem of SEC, i.e. the column calibration, significantly improves reproducibility of SEC measurements and provides much additional information. In addition, they will see that A4F can overcome many traditional SEC problems, such as interactions of polymers with column packing, shearing degradation and limited separation of ultra-high molar mass polymers. The book also provides understanding the basic theory and principles of light scattering, SEC.

Cover ImageMultiple Detection in Size-Exclusion Chromatography.(2004)  Andre M. Striegel (ed.) (ACS Symposium Series 893)

Publisher Description: Multiple Detection in Size-Exclusion Chromatography provides a comprehensive view of detection techniques that are used synergistically in size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). These techniques include differential refractometry; static and dynamic light scattering; differential viscometry; fluorescence, ultraviolet, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; electrospray ionization, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization, chemical reaction interface, inductively coupled plasma, and tandem mass spectrometry; and dynamic surface tension. This book shows how these techniques provide useful molar mass, architectural, compositional, and thermodynamic information whether SEC is used as the sole separation method or as part of a two-dimensional chromatographic set-up. In the latter case, the ability to separate analytes based on size, provided by SEC, is augmented by separation based on chemical composition, block length, etc., provided by high performance liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography at the critical condition, phase fluctuation chromatography, or high osmotic pressure chromatography.

 

Handbook Of Size Exclusion Chromatography And Related TechniquesHandbook Of Size Exclusion Chromatography And Related Techniques: 2nd Ed. Revised And Expanded. (2003) Chi-San Wu Ed. (CRC Press)

Publisher Description: Documenting critical advances in this rapidly evolving field, the Second Edition highlights the need for new applications and technologies that assist in the determination of molecular weight and molecular weight distributions of polymers in an accurate, efficient manner. This volume presents the latest findings from a international team of specialists and continues to inspire and extend practical applications of size exclusion chromatography (SEC). It includes six new chapters covering high-speed size exclusion chromatography, SEC of low molecular weight materials, and the extended family of techniques, from two-dimensional liquid chromatography to high osmotic pressure chromatography.

 

Size Exclusion Chromatography Size Exclusion Chromatography (1999) Prof. Sadao Mori, Dr. Howard G. Barth (Springer Laboratory) ISBN: 978-3-642-08493-5 (Print) 978-3-662-03910-6 (Online)

Publisher Description: Although size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is perhaps the most popular and widely used technique for determining the molecular weight distribution of polymeric materials, there have been very few texts written on this topic. During the past decade, SEC has experienced a considerable amount of growth in regard to column and detector technology and new applications. With these advances, SEC can now be used for determining absolute molecular weight, polymer chain conformation and size, and branching, as well as polymer solution properties. This book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of SEC with emphasis on practical aspects of the technique, such as column and mobile selection, calibration, new detector capabilities and guidelines for performing SEC on most types of polymers, especially those of industrial importance. This book is intended for either those new to the field of SEC, or for those research workers who require a more comprehensive background.

 

Column Handbook for Size Exclusion Chromatography (1999) Chi-san Wu (Academic Press) ISBN: 0127655557

Publisher Description: This is the first comprehensive reference to provide everything one needs to know about commercial analytical and preparative columns for size exclusion and gel filtration chromatography (SEC and GFC). SEC is now widely used as a quality assurance method in the polymer industry (both synthetic and biopolymers) to determine molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The Handbook contains contributions from every column manufacturer around the world and from many experienced column users. It covers the technology, characterization, application, evaluation, maintenance, and quality control of analytical and preparative columns for SEC and GFC. Also included are columns for two closely related techniques, hydrodynamic chromatography and high osmotic pressure chromatography.

Aqueous Size-Exclusion ChromatographyAqueous Size-Exclusion Chromatography (1988) Paul L. Dubin (Editor) (Elsevier) ISBN: 0444429573

Publisher Description: The rapid development of new packings for aqueous size-exclusion chromatography has revolutionized this field. High resolution non-adsorptive columns now make possible the efficient separation of proteins and the rapid and precise determination of the molecular weight distribution of synthetic polymers. This technology is also being applied to the separation of small ions, the characterization of associating systems, and the measurement of branching. At the same time, fundamental studies are elucidating the mechanisms of the various chromatographicprocesses. These developments in principles and applications are assembled for the first time in this book. Fundamental issues are dealt with: the roles of pore structure and macromolecular dimensions, hydrophobic and electrostatic effects, and the determination and control of column efficiency. High-performance packings based on derivatized silica are reviewed in detail. Special techniques are thoroughly described, including SEC/LALLS, inverse exclusion chromatography, and frontal zone chromatography.
