Abstract
- The chemical composition distribution (CCD) of three single site made ethylene/1-octene copolymers was investigated through offline-hyphenation of solvent gradient interaction chromatography (SGIC) with <superscript>1</superscript> H NMR. Thus, a clear, non-linear correlation between SGIC elution time and chemical composition was found under the specific measurement conditions applied here. The application of <superscript>1</superscript> H NMR as detection allowed to determine the CCD with unprecedented accuracy. 2D-LC of the copolymers revealed the correlation between CCD and molar mass distribution (MMD) in a quantitative manner. Furthermore, this approach allowed a comparison between the response behavior of an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD, semi-quantitative, commonly applied in SGIC) and that of an infrared (IR) detector (quantitative, commonly applied in SEC). As a result, it could be shown that ELSD results are close to IR results for the system investigated here, in other words, the often-criticized semi-quantitative response behavior of the ELSD is affecting results in an acceptable manner.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
