Relationship between the particle size distribution of commercial fully porous and superficially porous high-performance liquid chromatography column packings and their chromatographic performance

The separation efficiency and kinetics of several commercial HPLC particle types (both fully porous and superficially porous) have been investigated using a pharmaceutical weakly basic N-containing compound as a test molecule. A strong trend between the particle size distribution (PSD) of the particles and the typically employed “goodness of packing”-parameters was observed. The relative standard deviation of the PSD of the tested particles ranged between 0.05 and 0.2, and in this range, a near linear relationship between the A-term constant, the h_min-value and the minimal separation impedance was found. The experimental findings hence confirm the recent observations regarding the relationship between the narrow PSD of the recently commercialized porous-shell particles and their superior efficiency and kinetic performance. The outcome also suggests that the performance of the current generation of fully porous particle columns could be significantly improved if the PSD of these particles could be reduced.

Crosslinking network structure governing particle shape and size distribution by one-step emulsion polymerization in the presence of particle coagulation

In this study, sub-200?nm, crosslinked latex particles with a narrow particle size distribution were prepared by one-step emulsion polymerization in the presence of particle coagulation. The relationship between the particle shape and particle coagulation was investigated by varying the time of crosslinking network structure formation and particle coagulation. Particles with irregular shapes such as doublet, triplet, and ellipsoid were obtained using divinylbenzene (DVB) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinking agents, because the crosslinking network structure of particles was formed before the particle coagulation. In contrast, latex particles with a uniform spherical shape were also prepared using triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) or dihydrodicyclopentadienyl acrylate (DCPA) as the crosslinking agents by delaying the time of crosslinking network structure formation. Alternatively, uniform spherical latex particles were prepared by bringing forward the particle coagulation time using cationic initiator, 2, 2′-azobis (2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH). This study presents a new idea that would further broaden the application of particle coagulation in emulsion polymerization.     

A particle size distribution analysis of stressed HPLC column packing material

Summary A particle size distribution analysis has been completed on three different HPLC column packing materials including silica gel (Si60) and two bonded phases (RP8 and RP18). The stationary phases were subjected to 18 hours stress with 1 N or 3 N KOH and found to have quantitatively different distribution patterns initially, at 13 hours and finally at 18 hours although the average particle diameters for the Si60 and RP8 were the same or higher at 18 hours as initially. Thirteen hoursstress with sodium octanesulfonate, tetrabutylammonium phosphate and ammonium acetate at exaggerated conditions also resulted in distributional changes with the Si60 and RP8 decreasing in average particle diameter when exposed to ammonium acetate and tetrabutylammonium stressing respectively.     

Polybutadiene latex particle size distribution analysis utilizing a disk centrifuge

Polybutadiene latexes made in emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization with diameters ranging from 50 to 300 nm of both unimodal and bimodal particles size distributions were analyzed by the line-start (LIST) method in a Brookhaven Disk Centrifuge Photosedimentometer (DCP). A special spin fluid was designed to be able to sediment polybutadiene since the density of the polymer is 0.89 gcm^–3 and is thus less dense than its suspending medium. Density and viscosity gradients were created simply by adding five different mixtures of ethanol, water, and emulsifier in density sequence to the spinning disk. Coagulation problems caused by diluting polybutadiene latices with ethanol were overcome by using nonionic Triton X-100 surfactant. Good agreement in the average particle size and distribution as well as polydispersity between transmission electron microscope and disk centrifuge data was accomplished. The analysis time for polybutadiene latex particle sizing thus was reduced from several days to approximately 1 h.     

On the evolution of particle size average and size distribution in suspension polymerization processes

The dispersion of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and its suspension polymerization were used as models to elaborate the evolution of particle size average and size distribution in the course of suspension polymerization. The underlying mechanisms for the occurrence of the dynamic and static steady states in the population of drops were defined and their effects on the evolution of drop/particle size average and size distributions were examined. The characteristic intervals of suspension polymerizations (transition, steady-state, growth, and identification) were elaborated. The formation of satellite droplets and their evolution in the course of polymerization were also discussed.     

A particle size distribution analysis of used HPLC column packing material

Summary Particle size distribution analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were carried out on eight used HPLC columns containing either irregular silica based, spherical silica based or spherical polymer based packing material. Particle size distributions of the used irregular silica based columns were at least bimodat at the outlet ends and either biomodal or log-normal at the inlet ends with regular progressions between the two extremes through the column. A new ODS-3 column showed log-normal size distributions from the inlet to the outlet ends. Spherical silica based column particle size distributions showed distinct shoulders on large central distribution peaks in most column sections with various degrees of shoulder erosion. The spherical resin based column showed a broader inlet particle size distribution progressing to a very narrow outlet distribution. SEMs of both irregular and spherical silica based columns revealed a larger number of undersized particles and debris at the outlet than inlet ends which could have resulted from stationary phase degradation, since this was not seen in the new ODS-3 column. While several SEMs of the spherical silica based columns revealed hollow spheres and twins, the spherical resin based column packing showed stress fractures or wrinkle lines resulting from use or dehydration.Presented in part as a poster at the HPLC '92, 16^th Symposium on CLC, Baltimore, MD, USA.     

Role of emulsifier on the particle size and polymer particle size distribution using multiwavelength spectroscopy measurements

Latex emulsions depend strongly on the polymer composition, and particle size distribution, which in turn, is a function of the preparation of the latex and on the formulation and composition variables. This study reports measurements of particle size and particle size distribution of latex emulsions as function of the reaction time and the type and concentration of emulsifier by using the multiwavelength spectroscopy technique. Results show changes in the particle size of latex emulsions with the reaction time, obtaining larger particles and broader distributions with increasing of Tween 80 ratio. The steric stabilization provides the sole nonionic emulsifier is not enough to protect the polymer particle, causing the flocculation among the interactive particles, resulting in unstable latex. However, latex emulsions prepared with Tween 80 ratio <70 wt.% can stabilize efficiently the nucleated particles, probably due to the effects provided by both, the electrostatic and steric stabilization mechanisms. The same effect is shown in the curves of conversion (%) as a function of reaction time, resulting in slower polymerization rate for Tween 80 ratio >70 wt.%. On the other hand, smaller polymer particles, in all range of emulsifier mixture, have been obtained to higher emulsifier concentration.     

Miniemulsion polymerization of styrene: Evolution of the particle size distribution

The mechanism of the miniemulsion polymerization of styrene was investiaged through a combination of calorimetry to monitor the polymerization rate and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to follow the evolution of the particle size distribution. These techniques proved to be a powerful combination for gaining detailed mechanistic information regarding these polymerizations. Particle size analysis of the latexes withdrawn during the course of the reaction revealed that most of the polymer particles were formed by a relatively low conversion (i.e., 10% conversion). However, nucleation continued well past this point (to 40-60% conversion). In fact, it was observed that nucleation in miniemulsion polymerizations using cetyl alcohol continued past the maximum in the rate of polymerization. As a result of these long nucleation periods, the latex particle size distributions produced from these miniemulsion polymerizations were broader than their conventional emulsion polymerization counterparts, and were negatively skewed with a tail of small particles. The amount of negative skewing of the particle size distributions was found to decrease with increasing initiator (potassium persulfate) concentration. Finally, a correlation was observed between the length of time to the maximum polymerization rate and the breadth of the particle size distribution as reflected in the standard deviation. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
