New Aspects of Data Acquisition and Reduction in Gel Permeation Chromatography

Abstract

<p> The work of this study is divided into two parts. Part I reports on the development of a dedicated minicomputer, data acquisition, and reduction system for GPC. The hardware, software, and operating performance of the system is discussed in some detail.</p> <p> Part II, reports on an experimental study design to determine whether axial dispersion corrections are universal in the sense of being independent of polymer composition. Results for poly(vinyl-chloride), polystyrene, polybutadiene, and poly(methy-methacrylate) are discussed.</p>
