45 g of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA 500) with a trimodal molar mass distribution (Mw = 500 kg/mol, (Mw/Mn) −1 = 2.33) were fractionated by means of CPF (continuous polymer fractionation) in two steps using 1,4-dioxane as solvent. The counter-current extraction was performed in a glass column (length: 190 cm, diameter: 1.5 cm) filled with a network of wires, introducing the feed 75 cm from its upper end. The distribution of the highest molar mass fraction (Mw = 760 kg/mol) is unimodal and comparatively narrow ((Mw/Mn) −1 = 0.66). Indications exits that fractionation is not only taking place with respect to molar mass but also with respect to tacticity. Mit Hilfe der kontinuierlichen Polymerfrakt…
