## Abstract Analysis of low concentration polymer additives has been a challenging problem. The commonly used methods of analysis involve the initial extraction of polymer additives with solvents, often in a Soxhlet apparatus, followed by liquid, size exclusion, or gas chromatography. This paper de

Polymer additives were extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide and collected in a microtrap. The collected samples were separated by microcolumn liquid chromatography. Polymer samples down to the sub-milligram level were handled without loss of extract. Information about the distribution of addi
## Abstract Polymer additives were extracted from polyethylene with supercritical carbon dioxide. The twoโfilm theory, which considers mass transfer across a phase boundary, is applied to qualitatively describe the kinetics of mass transfer from the core of the polymer particles into the supercriti
