description

Phase distribution chromatography (PDC) is demonstrated to be a powerful method for the correct determination of narrow molecular weight distributions. This is shown by comparing the molecular weight distributions (MWD) of polystyrenes obtained from PDC measurements with those obtained by Baker-Williams fractionation and by gel permeation chromatography. Four problems are formulated and analyzed which are closely connected with the calculation of the MWD from a measured PDC-elution curve at temperatures below the theta point of the system. Thus, the theory of PDC outlined previously is tested.
