Abstract:
A density functional approach to the retention in a chromatography with chemically bonded phases is developed. The bonded phase is treated as brush built of grafted polymers. The chain molecules are modelled as freely jointed spheres. Segments of all components interact with the surface via the hard wall potential whereas interactions between the segments are described by Lennard-Jones (12-6) potential. The structure of the bonded phase is investigated. The distribution of different solutes in the stationary phases is determined. An influence of the following parameters on the retention is analyzed: the grafting density, the grafted chains length, the strength of molecular interactions, the solute sizes, temperature. The theoretical predictions are consisted with numerous experimental results.

Polar components tend to bind strongly to the silica gel, causing them to move slowly through the column. In contrast, nonpolar compounds...

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
