Characterization of Poly(di(Carboxylatophenoxy)Phosphazene) by an Aqueous Gel-Permeation Chromatography
A water-soluble phosphazene polyelectrolyte, poly[di(carboxylatophenoxy)phosphazene] (PCPP), was characterized using aqueous gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) with concentration (UV and RI) and molecular weight sensitive (multiangle laser light-scattering) detectors. Agreement was observed between the weight-average molecular weights determined by GPC with a light-scattering detector, conventional GPC using fractionated narrow PCPP standards, and also by static light-scattering measurements. The effect of chromatography conditions, such as ionic strength of the mobile phase, column resolution, and injection volume was investigated. Mark-Houwink constants of PCPP in aqueous solution (phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 0.42 M NaCl) were determined. The validity of the universal calibration curve and the occurrence of a secondary nonexclusion mechanism of separation in aqueous GPC of phosphazene polyelectrolytes are discussed.
