Liquid adsorption chromatography at critical conditions (LACCC) in normal and in reversed-phase modes provides independent information on the molar mass distributions of both blocks of poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate), even if no information about the precursor is
available. In addition, the amount of unreacted precursor can be determined, even if its molar mass is
comparable to that of the total block copolymer. The reversal of elution order by changing of stationary
and mobile phases makes it possible to independently characterize each block in the SEC mode of the
LACCC system. Thus, complete structural information is obtained even without using two-dimensional
chromatographic techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
