Polymer coated silica gel for high-performance liquid chromatography

Journal Article · · J. Liquid Chromatogr.; (United States)

The treatment of microparticulate silica gel with Carbowax 20M results in a stable and reproducible support which greatly reduces the irreversible adsorption effects observed for polyoxyethylene compounds on untreated silica gel. The selectivity of this coated support, likely a result of selective deactivation, permits the rapid separation of oligomers differing by <3% in molecular weight. The advantages and disadvantages of this support and a C/sub 18/ reversed-phase support for the separation and analysis of polyoxyethylene oligomers and their adducts are illustrated and discussed. 32 references, 7 figures.
