V. Girardon et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF FUNCTIONAL ALIPHATIC OLIGOAMIDES USING N-TRIFLUOROACETYLATION - II - SIZE-EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY, European Polymer Journal, 34(9), 1998, pp. 1325-1330
The molar mass distribution of several functional oligoamides was stud
ied by size exclusion chromatography in methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) at
room temperature. Sample solubilization in CH2Cl2 was performed by de
rivatization using trifluoroacetic anhydride. The internal calibration
curves were easily obtained for the alpha,omega-diamino, alpha,omega-
dicarboxy and alpha,omega-dihexyl oligoamides. The elution volume is i
nfluenced by the methylene group number of monomeric unit and by the n
ature of end groups. The molar masses determined by SEC were compared
to the values obtained by chemical titration and by NMR analysis. (C)
