This book reports on inverse gas chromatography (IGC), a useful technique for characterizing synthetic and biological polymers, copolymers, polymer blends, glass and carbon fibers, coal, and solid foods. The technique involves creating within a column a stationary phase of the solid material of interest. The stationary phase may be a thin polymeric coating on an inert substrate, a finely divided solid, or a thin polymeric coating on the column wall. A volatile probe of known characteristics is passed through the column via an inert mobile phase and the output is monitored. The residence time of the probe and the shape of the chromatogram indicate the characteristics of the stationary phase and its interaction with the probe. Thus, IGC is a variation of conventional gas chromatography.
