Abstract:
Telechelic oligomers based on diethylene glycol or lower polyethylene glycols and caprolactone or butene oxide can be separated according to their architecture by means of liquid chromatography under adsorption conditions for the hydrophobic block and critical or exclusion conditions for PEG. This behavior, which is predicted by the theory, can be verified by the experiment for block copolymers of ethylene oxide with ɛ-caprolactone and butene oxide. The individual peaks were identified by matrix-assisted time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) of fractions obtained by semipreparative liquid chromatography at critical conditions of center block (PEG) and adsorption conditions for outer blocks (PCL and PBO).

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...
