✦ Synopsis
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been used to complement size-exclusion (gel permeation) chromatography (SEC) for the characterization of functional polymers. Whereas SEC is unable to detect compositional changes, HPLC in an appropriate interacting medium can provide detailed information on compositional changes occurring during chemical modification of a polymer. The method has been demonstrated using a normal-phase column consisting of porous monodisperse 10 mm poly(2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) beads that have a homogeneous coverage of aliphatic hydroxyl groups for the analysis of brominated poly(isobutylene-co-4-methylstyrene). Differences of well below 1 mol % of bromomethylstyrene units are easily detected and quantified.
