## Abstract In ternary mobile phases consisting of acetone, methanol, and water, the retention of PEG on reversedβphase columns is independent on molar mass at certain compositions of the mobile phase. Along this critical adsorption line, the retention of polypropylene glycol varies quite strongly,

Abstract
It is shown that in LC of polymers, the interaction parameter in ternary mobile phases can be described by a plane, which is determined by the dependencies in binary mobile phases. Instead of a critical adsorption point, critical conditions are observed along a straight line of composition between the two critical points in binary mobile phases. Consequently, a separation of block copolymers under critical conditions for one block by an adsorption mechanism for the other block can be achieved in ternary mobile phases of different compositions, which allows an adjustment of the retention of the adsorbing block.

## Abstract TLC experimental data have been measured for polycyclic hydrocarbons in binary and ternary mobile phases on silica gel. These data have been interpretated using the equation discussed by us in Part 1 of this series [HRC & CC 2 (1979) 236]. The heterogeneity parameter appearing in this e
