“…Martinez de la Gindara eta/. [lo] reported that the addition of peroxide to the stationary phase and heat curing [9] did not always lead to high quality columns.Therefore a two-stage method was developed [lo] for the immobilization of Carbowax 2 OM; the capillary was coated first by the stationary phase and then by a layer of dicumyl peroxide (by as much as 20% of the mass of the stationary phase), and was afterwards heat cured. As an extension to our work on gamma radiation-induced immobilization of nonpolar and moderately polar stationary phases [7,8], it would be interesting to examine the possibility of gamma radiation-induced immobilization of polyethylene glycoltype stationary phases.…”
