“…Coating silica gels with polybutadiene has been used as a method for improving silica's stability at higher pH or for deactivation of silanophilic interactions [99]. There have been numerous studies on the use of PBD-coated oxides as reversed-phase materials [20,30,38,39,55,56,58,64,[74][75][76]78,80,85,88,89,[91][92][93]95,[100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110].…”
