✦ Synopsis

A series of low molecular weight surfactants with narrow molecular weight (MW) distribution (MW ranging from 860 to 5310 Da), containing poly(oxyethylene oxide) and the acylal (double ester and carbonate ester) functional group, was prepared as potential candidates for drug delivery vehicles. Determination of molecular weight of the polymers was done by both Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) equipped with viscosity detector. The former technique offered a far more convenient method of characterization of these polymers than GPC. The major advantages were lack of requirement for a chromatographic separation system, short time for sample preparation, speed of analysis, and structure information (repeating unit) of the polymers. For the lower MW species studied the MS data were closer to theoretical values than the GPC data. For the polymers having theoretical MW % 5000 Da, the deviation between GPC data and MS data was less pronounced.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) is shown to give inaccurate results for the analysis of low molecular weight ethoxylate polymers. It is demonstrated that when the degree of ethoxylation is low (n < 9), MALDI-TOFMS produces substantially high

Synthetic polymers having a polydispersity greater than 1.1 cannot be reliably characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry alone. This complication has been overcome by off-line coupling of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) with MALDI. Data
