| Abstract: | The influence of the conditions of the synthesis of polymer monoliths based on ethylene glycol dimethacrylate on the properties of monolithic capillary columns for gas chromatography was investigated. It was established that the time of polymerization, the temperature of synthesis, and the composition of the polymerization mixture have a strong effect on the dynamic and chromatographic properties of the columns. It was concluded that monolithic capillary columns synthesized under optimum conditions are characterized by a height equivalent to a theoretical plate of 30–40 μm, which is considerably less than that for traditional hollow capillary columns of the same diameter. |
