Chromatographic application

Silicone polymers have a long history as stationary phases in gas-liquid (partition) chromatography (GC). Thus poly(dimethylsiloxane) and methylphenylsilicones provide the useful SE and OV series of phases. More recently, small-molecule LC phases and their blends with OV materials have been evaluated. The occurrence of ordering (e.g. nematic or smectic) in a stationary phase is itself beneficial but, in addition, different separation criteria seem to apply with LC phases. Whereas relative volatility of analyte components dominates separations on ordinary SE or OV columns, molecular shape becomes significant when LC phases are employed (e.g. in the resolution of the isomeric ben-zo[a]pyrene and benzo[e]pyrene).  

A major drawback with some GC stationary phases results from their own volatility at operating temperatures, which, over a period of time, threatens column integrity via column bleed. Small-molecule LC packings are vulnerable to this problem but the comb LCP architecture, involving both LC moieties and siloxane polymers, is an attractive solution since it incorporates chemical tethering of the mesogens to the polymer. 

Since the pioneering work of Laub and co-workers a variety of mesomorphic polysiloxane GC solvent phases (the so called MEPSIL solvents) have been prepared and evaluated (reviewed in Refs 117-119). They are copolymer combs, often including dimethylsiloxane segments as well as mesogen-bearing units. Many of them still suffer from column 

In summary, useful GC stationary phases based upon comb LCPs are available. Areas of active development involve suppression of column bleed, depression of the glass-to-LC transition temperature (important for volatile analytes) and broadening of the mesophase temperature range. The latter point favours nematic systems, since that phase tends to have better longevity. In parallel with these developments, investigations are under way to apply LC stationary phases to capillary to super-

The development and optimization of porous supports for chromatographic applications have depended on advances in polymer chemistry together with advances in particle manufacturing technology. Separations that required hours or days to achieve with early SEC supports are now typically performed in less than an hour. The following description of various types of media is presented in the approximate chronological order in which the various media were developed. 

In 1972, Kirkland at E. I. du Pont de Nemours patented porous silica microspheres (PSM) specifically for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) applications (3). Prior to this development, silica particles used for chromatographic applications were simply adapted from some other use. In the 1970s, Kirkland showed that porous silica particles could be used for size-...

Nevertheless, a number of gas chromatographic applications exist, epecially those for the determination of crude oil indicators. Such indicators are used as geochemical parameters for the thermal history of the crude as well as to indicate the possible relationship between crudes from different wells. These indicators comprise a number of isomeric aromatic species, such as the individual alkylnaphthalenes (44, 45), the individual Cio-mono-aromatics or the individual C9-mono-aromatics. The ratio between these isomers gives a definite indication of the crude oil. In general, these systems use a Deans switching unit to make a heart-cut, which then is focused, reinjected and separated on a second column with a different polarity. 

Alternative approaches to imprint peptides via strong monomer template association have recently been reported, although no results of the chromatographic application of these phases have been shown. Strong complexation inducing a (3-sheet conformation was possible using a designed functional monomer (21) [71]. Peptides... 

The size component which may be strongly present (as in this chromatographic application) is eliminated by the operation of double-centering. Hence, double-centered latent variables only express contrasts. In column-centered biplots one may find that one latent variable expresses mainly size and the others mainly contrasts. In general, none of the latter is a pure component of size or of contrasts. If we want to see size and some contrasts represented in a biplot, column-centering...
