Molecular mass distribution analysis of ethyl(hydroxyethyl)cellulose by size-exclusion chromatography with dual light-scattering and refractometric detection

Porsch, B ; Andersson, Mats ; Wittgren, B and Wahlund, Karl-Gustav LU (2002) In Journal of Chromatography A 946(1-2). p.69-81
Abstract
Dual low-angle light scattering and refractometric detection coupled to size-exclusion chromatography provided proof for the presence of a low amount of stable aggregates/particles in ethyl(hydroxyethyl)cellulose. Unlike the correct size-exclusion chromatographic behavior of the parent polysaccharide itself, the aggregates exhibit variable size-dependent weak retention as a function of flow-rate and of ionic strength of the aqueous mobile phase. Therefore, determination of the molecular mass of non-aggregated polymer is possible in aqueous mobile phase containing 0.1 M NaCl under conditions at which aggregates are completely adsorbed on the column packing irrespective of the flow-rate used. Flow-rate and ionic strength-dependent variations... (More)
Dual low-angle light scattering and refractometric detection coupled to size-exclusion chromatography provided proof for the presence of a low amount of stable aggregates/particles in ethyl(hydroxyethyl)cellulose. Unlike the correct size-exclusion chromatographic behavior of the parent polysaccharide itself, the aggregates exhibit variable size-dependent weak retention as a function of flow-rate and of ionic strength of the aqueous mobile phase. Therefore, determination of the molecular mass of non-aggregated polymer is possible in aqueous mobile phase containing 0.1 M NaCl under conditions at which aggregates are completely adsorbed on the column packing irrespective of the flow-rate used. Flow-rate and ionic strength-dependent variations of aggregate behavior as well as model size-exclusion experiments with latex particles indicate that they partly carry a minute charge and have a compact structure. Their weak retention under the separation conditions used suggests a difference in their surface chemistry when compared with the dissolved polymer coils which exhibit a correct size-exclusion behavior.
