Notes:
The elution behaviour of polystyrene (PS) on spherosil X0A 200 gel in twenty one eluents and its dependence on solvent goodness, as defined by the α exponent of the Mark-Houwink equation, and solvent strength, ∊0, have been studied. The interstitial volume, Vo, seems to depend solely on solvent goodness, being minimum for good solvents and maximum for solvent mixtures at Θ composition or close to it. By application of a network-limited partition and adsorption mechanism, average pore radii of the gel, r, have been obtained. For ∊0 〉 0,45 a linear dependence with negative slope between r and ∊0 exists, whereas for ∊0 〈 0,45 r values seem to display a joint dependence on ∊0 and α·∊0 α = 0,17 is the limit for obtaining experimental PS elution curves, below that value the polymer being not recovered. A coefficient f, which allows the evaluation of relative distribution coefficients (Kp) is introduced and its numerical values determined for all the eluent systems. The f dependence on ∊0 and αis similar to that followed by r. At high ∊0 values partion effects will be mainly responsible for Kp values. However, at low ∊0 values, besides partition, adsorption effects contribute to the increase of Kp values.
