description

Abstract Phase distribution chromatography is a new chromatographic method of fractionating polymers. The separation is achieved by partitioning the sample between the solvent and a polymer phase, in the case a noncross-linked polystyrene of very high molecular weight, which is coated as a thin layer on small glass beads. The temperature must be held below the θ-temperature of the sample. The separation increases sharply with decreasing temperature. The theory of this method is presented and compared with experimental results. The agreement is very good.
