Light scattering from acrylate-based polymer dispersed liquid crystals: theoretical considerations and experimental examples

A light scattering (LS) study made using acrylate-based polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) is presented. The polarized component IVV is measured for blends of a polyacrylate and the liquid crystal (LC) E7 at several compositions. Only the off-state configuration of the droplets with no external fields is considered here. These composites consist commonly of micron-sized nematic LC droplets dispersed in a solid polymer matrix. Theoretical expressions for the scattered intensities in the case of isotropic and anisotropic spherical droplets are given both in the Rayleigh-Gans approximation (RGA) and in the anomalous diffraction approximation (ADA). Series of VV and VH components of the scattering intensities are calculated using the models of Meeten, Stein and coworkers. The model calculations are compared with the light scattering data. This comparison enables us to extract information on the size and the shape of droplets assuming that the size distribution is uniform and that the scattering is due to single droplets, neglecting inter-particle correlation and multiple scattering effects. This paper demonstrates that the LS technique is a useful tool for studying the morphology of PDLC samples and estimating the average size of nematic droplets.

Mechanochemical reaction of polymers by ultrasonic irradiation. I. Mechanochemical reaction in mixtures of polystyrene,styrene, and cyclohexanone

Mechanical degradation and mechanochemical polymerization in polystyrene–styrene–cyclohexanone mixtures have been studied by ultrasonic irradiation at 60°C. The number of fresh polymer chains after the degradation is 2 × 10^?5 mole l^?1 hr^?1. The rate equations for mechanical scission and mechanochemical polymerization have been deduced. The rate equation for mechanical scission was found to be in agreement with the expression of a previous paper. In addition, the rate equation for mechanochemical polymerization is not essentially different from that for the general radical polymerization in the presence of solvents. The kinetic chain length for polymeric free radicals in the polymerization process has been calculated. The mechanochemical polymerization of styrene was initiated by only one of the two kinds of end radicals after mechanical scission of polystyrene. The molecular weight distributions of the samples after the degradation and the polymerization have been compared and discussed.     

How to select equivalent and complimentary reversed phase liquid chromatography columns from column characterization databases

Three RP-LC column characterization protocols [Tanaka et al. (1989), Snyder et al. (PQRI, 2002), and NIST SRM 870 (2000)] were evaluated using both Euclidian distance and Principal Components Analysis to evaluate effectiveness at identifying equivalent columns. These databases utilize specific chromatographic properties such as hydrophobicity, hydrogen bonding, shape/steric selectivity, and ion exchange capacity of stationary phases. The chromatographic parameters of each test were shown to be uncorrelated. Despite this, the three protocols were equally successful in identifying similar and/or dissimilar stationary phases.

Investigation of the adsorption mechanism of a peptide in reversed phase liquid chromatography,from pH controlled and uncontrolled solutions

The single-component equilibrium adsorption of the tripeptide Leucyl-Leucyl-Leucine (LLL) on a high-efficiency Jupiter Proteo column (C₁₂$C_{12}$) was investigated experimentally and modeled theoretically. The experimental equilibrium isotherms of LLL for adsorption on a C₁₂$C_{12}$ packing material from an aqueous solution of methanol (48%) and trifluoroacetic acid (0.1%) were measured by frontal analysis (FA). The FA measurements were done with two solutions, one in which the pH was controlled, the other in which it was not. Two solutions of LLL in the mobile phase were prepared (4.3 and 5.4 g/L) and their pH measured (2.94 and 2.88), respectively. The first solution was titrated with TFA to match the pH of the mobile phase (2.03), so its pH was controlled. The pH of the other solution was left uncontrolled. In both cases the isotherms could be modeled by a bi-Langmuir equation, a choice consistent with the bimodal affinity energy distribution (AED) obtained for LLL. The isotherm parameters derived from the inverse method (IM) of isotherm determination under controlled pH conditions (by fitting calculated profiles to experimental breakthrough profiles) are in a good agreement with those derived from the FA data. Under uncontrolled pH conditions, the application of IM suggests the coexistence of two different adsorption mechanisms. According to the isotherm parameters found by these three methods (FA, AED and IM), the C₁₂$C_{12}$-bonded silica can adsorb around 500 and 70 g/L of LLL under controlled and uncontrolled pH conditions, respectively. The adsorption of LLL on the C₁₂$C_{12}$ material strongly depends on the pH of the mobile phase and on the quantity of TFA added, which plays the role of an ion-pairing agent.     

Ion-pairing and reversed phase liquid chromatography for the determination of three different quinolones: Enrofloxacin,lomefloxacin and ofloxacin

Two simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods have been developed for the simultaneous determination of three different quinolones: enrofloxacin, lomefloxacin and ofloxacin in their pure and dosage forms, one with reversed phase HPLC and the other with ion-pair HPLC. In reversed phase HPLC, method (A), the mobile phase consists of 2.18% aqueous solution of KH₂PO₄ with pH adjusted to 2.4 ± 0.2 with acetonitrile (80:20; v/v), the mobile phase pumped at flow rate of 1.2 ml min^?1. A Neucleosil C₁₈ column (10 μm, 100 Å), 250 mm length × 4.6 mm diameter was utilized as stationary phase. Detection was affected spectrophotometrically at 294 nm. While in ion-pair HPLC, method (B), the mobile phase was aqueous solution of 0.65% sodium perchlorate and 0.31% ammonium acetate adjusted to pH 2.2 ± 0.2 with orthophosphoric acid: acetonitrile (81:19; v/v), the mobile phase pumped at flow rate of 1.5 ml min^?1. A μ bondapack C₁₈ column (10 μm, 100 Å), 250 mm length × 4.6 mm diameter was utilized as stationary phase. Detection was affected spectrophotometrically at 294 nm. Linearity ranges for enrofloxacin, lomefloxacin and ofloxacin were 4.0–108, 7.0–112 and 8.0–113 μg ml^?1, respectively using method A and 8.0–112, 7.0–112 and 5.0–105 μg ml^?1, respectively applying method B. Minimum detection limits obtained were 0.013, 0.023 and 0.035 μg ml^?1 for enrofloxacin, lomefloxacin and ofloxacin, respectively using method A, and 0.028, 0.023 and 0.011 μg ml^?1 using method B. The proposed methods were further applied to the analysis of enrofloxacin in injection and tablets containing the ofloxacin and lomefloxacin drugs, and the results were satisfied.     

Simultaneous separation of nonionic surfactants and polyethylene glycols by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography

Summary The simultaneous separation of polyethylene glycol and its derivatives such as the lauryl alcohol and lauric acid ethoxylate oligomers was carried out by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. Branched fluorinated silica gel columns combined with evaporative light scattering detection were used for the characterization of nonionic surfactants. Lauryl alcohol ethoxylate oligomers were separated at 10°C with an isocratic eluent according to ethoxylate number and the retention time of the oligomers decreases with increasing ethoxylate number. The Van’t Hoff plots of retention factor of lauryl alcohol ethoxylate gave a complex cure, which is anomalous behavior for reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. The anomalous Van’t Hoff plots were explained by a partial conformational change from polar to less polar conformers with increasing temperature. The most significant features for the analysis of the lauryl alcohol ethoxylate were the use of acetonitrile as mobile phase and operating temperature. The polyethylene glycol was separated according to ethoxylate number and the retention time of oligomers increased with increasing ethoxylate number. The Van’t Hoff plots of retention factor of polyethylene glycol had negative slopes. It was presumed that the polar conformation of the ethylene oxide chain decreased with increasing temperature. The lauryl alcohol ethoxylate and polyethylene glycol were separated simultaneously in gradient elution as a result of the conformational change of the ethylene oxide chain. As a practical example, lauric acid ethoxylate simultaneously separated into free polyethylene glycol, ethoxylate monolaurate and ethoxylate dilaurate in gradient elution.

Separation ofAstragalus saponins by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography and evaporative light scattering detection

Summary A new HPLC method permitted the separation of 13 triterpene lycosides isolated from differentAstragalus species within 40 min. A water/acetonitrile gradient was used as eluent and 5 μm RP-18 material as stationary phase. By using an evaporative light scattering (ELS) detector, the main saponins ofA. membranaceus could be detected at levels as low as 20.0 μg·mL⁻¹. This method facilitated distinction of differentAstragalus species as well as the analyses of market products containingA. membranaceus. The results showed variations from 0.019 to 0.184% in the total saponin content of the market products.     

Joint use of cyclodextrin additives in chiral discrimination by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography: temperature effects

The temperature dependence of chiral separations was investigated in combined system of reversed-phase (RP) liquid chromatography using two chiral additives: single or β native cyclodextrins and their permethylated derivatives. The model tested compounds of pharmaceutical interest were: methylphenobarbital, mephenytoin, morsuximide and camphor. Taking the localization of a complexation process as a criterion – the combined system with two selectors has been rationalized as occurring in three stages. The influence of temperature (in narrow range of 20°C) on retention and enantioselectivity was studied in; System I (complexation occurs in the mobile phase), in System II (complexation on the stationary phase) and in System III (complexation in both phases together). In System III (as for System I) it has been found that the model compounds could be classified into three groups based on their retention dependence on temperature: retention decrease with temperature decrease, retention increase with temperature decrease or no influence of temperature on retention. For all the compounds investigated, decrease in temperature increases the selectivity. Standard enthalpy (ΔH⁰) and entropy (ΔS⁰) changes of solute transfer between the mobile and the stationary phase and standard enthalpy (ΔH⁰_CD) and entropy (ΔS⁰_CD) changes of complex formation were also calculated. In Systems I and III, if the complexation in the mobile phase is favored process compared with interaction with the stationary phases (RP or covered by permethylated cyclodextrin), the shortest retention time and the best selectivity is observed at low temperature.
