β¦ Synopsis
Three amorphous homopolymers
were fractionated by the column elutiontemperature gradient technique. The efficiency of the molecular-weight separations was determined by gel permeation chromatography. Three column-packing techniques were investigated. The most efficient method entailed preliminary bulk fractionation (four steps), and loading of the top fifth of the chromatographic column with the polymer-coated support. A cursory examination was made of the effect of sample size on column efficiency. Five grams of a POLA polyester (poly(4,4'-isopropylidenediphenylene-r ,~,~-trimetl~yl-~-pl~enylindan-~',~-dicarboxylate), a polystyrene, and a poly(methy1 methacrylate) were fractionated by this technique. By optimizing conditions, ten fractions of nearly equal weight were obtained for each polymer, most fractions being of narrow molecular-weight distribution, i.e., Ilf,/M, 1.15 f 0.10.

A modified precipitation chromatography method for the fractionation of polymers has been designed. The method works without elution gradient and only with periodical temperature cycles put on the entire column. The difference in temperatures is held constant; the overall temperature, however, incre
