Styrene-divinylbenzene copolyme

This type of analysis requires several chromatographic columns and detectors. Hydrocarbons are measured with the aid of a flame ionization detector FID, while the other gases are analyzed using a katharometer. A large number of combinations of columns is possible considering the commutations between columns and, potentially, backflushing of the carrier gas. As an example, the hydrocarbons can be separated by a column packed with silicone or alumina while O2, N2 and CO will require a molecular sieve column. H2S is a special case because this gas is fixed irreversibly on a number of chromatographic supports. Its separation can be achieved on certain kinds of supports such as Porapak which are styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers. This type of phase is also used to analyze CO2 and water. 

To illustrate the specific operations involved, the scheme below shows the first steps and the final detachment reaction of a peptide synthesis starting from the carboxyl terminal. N-Boc-glycine is attached to chloromethylated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer resin. This polymer swells in organic solvents but is completely insoluble. ) Treatment with HCl in acetic acid removes the fert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group as isobutene and carbon dioxide. The resulting amine hydrochloride is neutralized with triethylamine in DMF. 

Modern SEC columns are packed with material other than polystyrene gels, such as porous silica particles or highly cross-linked styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers. Because of improvements in speed and resolution, the term SEC is sometimes replaced by the term high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC).

Shodex has a wide variety of columns for organic GPC using organic solvents. The columns are packed with porous styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer gels especially developed for GPC use. Five types of standard-size GPC columns packed with different solvents are available. Downsized GPC columns are also available. 

The Shodex GPC KF-600 series is packed with 3- im styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer gels in a column having a volume of about one-third compared to standard-types of columns, which are best suited for reducing the organie solvents eonsumption, shortening the analysis time, and lowering the detection limit (Table 6.5). 

Unlike earlier sulfonated styrene/divinylbenzene copolymers, these sulfonated gels can he run in virtually any solvent from water and buffers to pure organics as well as most any mixed solvent systems desired. In aqueous systems they absorb water and in organic solvents they stay swollen by imbibing organic solvents. 

These small columns,(usually 10 mm X 1-4.6 mm i.d.) are normally packed with 10-40 p.m sorbents such as Cig-bonded silica, Cg-bonded silica or styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. These sorbents are not very selective and more selective sorbents, such as the immunosorbent (94), have also been used with good results. Coupling of SPE-gas chromatography is in fact the one most often used in environmental analysis because it reaches a high level of trace enrichment, eliminates water and elutes retained compounds easily with an organic solvent that can be injected into the gas chromatograph. 

A research group in Lehigh University has extensively studied the synthesis and characterization of uniform macroporous styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer particles [125,126]. In their studies, uniform porous polymer particles were prepared via seeded emulsion polymerization in which linear polymer (polystyrene seed) or a mixture of linear polymer and solvent were used as inert diluents [125]. The average pore diameter was on the order of 1000 A with pore volumes up to... 

The materials originally used as stationary phases for GPC were the xerogels of the polyacrylamide (Bio-Gel) and cross-linked dextran (Sephadex) type. However, these semi-rigid gels are unable to withstand the high pressures used in HPLC, and modern stationary phases consist of microparticles of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers (Ultrastyragel, manufactured by Waters Associates), silica, or porous glass. 

A sulfonated ion exchanger catalyst (Research Institute of Synthetic Resins and Varnishes, Pardubice, Czechoslovakia) was a macroreticular styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer containing 25% divinylbenzene and 2.4 meq/g of —SO3H groups. It was dried prior to using at 90°C/14 Torr. The BET surface area, determined in a dry state, was 49 m2/g, and the mean pore size was around 100 A. 

Alcohol sulfates and alcohol ether sulfates separated by HPLC on a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer column with 4 1 (v/v) methanol and 0.05 M ammonium acetate aqueous solution as the mobile phase were analyzed by simultaneous inductively coupled argon plasma vacuum emission spectroscopy (IPC), monitoring the 180.7-nm sulfur line as a sulfur-specific detector [294]. This method was applied to the analysis of these surfactants in untreated wastewaters. 

The most frequently used organic supports are polystyrene and styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer beads with functional groups such as diphenylpho.sphine covalently bonded. The polymer-anchored catalyst complex can then be obtained, for example, by displacement of a ligand already co-ordinated to a soluble metal complex (Cornils and Herrmann, 1996) ... 

An SPE method has been developed to replace the classical LLP method. Water sample is extracted with an SPE column such as Cig and styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (PS-2) cartridges, which consist of a reversed bonded-phase silica sorbent, provided as an extraction tool. This is a simple and rapid method, and applied to the determination of residual amounts of naproanilide, propanil, mefenacet, etc. This system determines the residual amounts of most of the pesticides and has been successfully applied to determination of pesticides in water. 

There are a large number of literature references that refer the use of SPE cartridges for the extraction of pesticides from water. There are several comprehensive reviews of the use of SPE, including that by Soriano et al. who discussed the advantages and limitations of a number of sorbents for the analysis of carbamates. Hennion reviewed the properties and uses of carbon based materials for extraction of a wide multiclass range of pesticides. Thorstensen et al. described the use of a high-capacity cross-linked polystyrene-based polymer for the SPE of phenoxy acids and bentazone, and Tanabe et al reported the use of a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer for the determination of 90 pesticides and related compounds in river water. SPE cartridges are also widely used for the cleanup of solvent extracts, as described below. 

The most common technique used for agrochemicals is reversed-phase SPE. Here, the bonded stationary phase is silica gel derivatized with a long-chain hydrocarbon (e.g. C4-C18) or styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. This technique operates in the reverse of normal-phase chromatography since the mobile phase is polar in nature (e.g., water or aqueous buffers serve as one of the solvents), while the stationary phase has nonpolar properties.

Hacroreticular resins are prepared by suspension polymerization of, for example, styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers in the presence of a substance which is a good solvent for the sononer but a poor swelling agent for the polymer [178-180]. Each resin bead is formed from many microbeads joined together during the polymerization process to create a network of holes and 7 channels. This results in greater mechanical stability,... 

Classical ion-exchange resins are styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers to which ionisable functional groups are attached. There are several ion-exchange materials that are used for hplc ...

A large variety of polymers has been considered. In the beginning, polystyrene and styrene/ divinylbenzene copolymers (Merrifield resins) were by far the most used.73 Then others were tested such as polyvinyls,47-50,61-64 polyacrylates,72 4,75 and cellulose.76,77 Most commonly, diphenylphos-phane groups were grafted on the polymeric support, either directly or via one CH2 group. 

Polymeric particles can be constructed from a number of different monomers or copolymer combinations. Some of the more common ones include polystyrene (traditional latex particles), poly(styrene/divinylbenzene) copolymers, poly(styrene/acrylate) copolymers, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA), poly(vinyltoluene), poly(styrene/butadiene) copolymers, and poly(styrene/vinyltoluene) copolymers. In addition, by mixing into the polymerization reaction combinations of functional monomers, one can create reactive or functional groups on the particle surface for subsequent coupling to affinity ligands. One example of this is a poly(styrene/acrylate) copolymer particle, which creates carboxylate groups within the polymer structure, the number of which is dependent on the ratio of monomers used in the polymerization process. 

A macroreticular styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer substituted with cyanomethyl groups sorbs chloroplatinic acid from its aqueous solution. The complex containing 1.45% platinum was used to study the kinetics of addition of trichlorosilane to acetylene in the vapor phase at 100°C (59).
