Abstract
A new technique of liquid chromatography is described, which allows a basel ine separation of fatty alcohol ethoxylates with 15-20 ethylene oxide units under isocratic conditions. The new method is based on a combination of tw o different chromatographic modes for the individual structural units: size exclusion for the poly(oxyethylene) chain and adsorption interaction for t he hydrophobic end fragments. A theory is provided for this mixed exclusion -adsorption mode of Liquid chromatography. Chromatographic data are found t o be in a good agreement with this theory. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
