Description
Summary:The separation of oligomers and polymers by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is reviewed. Prerequisites for the successful application of SFC to oligomers, such as gradients and the use of suitable mobile and stationary phases, are treated in general terms. The main section covering the separations is largely concerned with oligomers, because the application of SFC to polymers is so far lagging behind. The separations are divided in subsections on hydrocarbon oligomers, vinyl arene oligomers, acrylic acid and acrylate oligomers, oligoethers, condensation type oligomers, miscellaneous oligomers, polymers, and biopolymers. Finally, some problems to which SFC may contribute solutions and problems in the detection of macromolecular substances are discussed.
