Summary
Copolymers from styrene and acrylonitrile could be separated according to composition by gradient elution through methanol after injection inton-heptane and sudden addition of 50, 60, or 70 vol% tetrahydrofuran. The peak sequence was the same as with a common binary gradientn-heptane/tetrahydrofuran, i.e., retention increased with acrylonitrile content of the samples. With copolymers containing 37, 31, or 26% acrylonitrile, the elution characteristics in the ternary systems could be logically extrapolated towards the points measured in the corresponding binary gradient system.
