Waxes weak interaction

Wax in water The forces between wax molecules tend to be modest, but hydrogen bonding in water is quite significant, and only weak interactions are formed between water molecules and wax molecules. No significant dissolving occurs. 

Several HPLC stationary phases are used for the separation of glycans, including amide-bonded hydrophilic interaction (HILIC), reversed phase (RP), weak anion exchange (WAX), and porous graphitized carbon (PGC). Due to the heterogeneous nature and complexity of many glycan populations, analysis may require the use of several orthogonal methods [7],...
