Are there Waters application examples for Nafion charged polymers on the APC XT columns? - WKB250557

Article number: 250557

ENVIRONMENT

  • Advanced polymer chromatography (APC)
  • Application examples
  • APC XT columns
  • Nafion charged particles

ANSWER

There are currently no APC Waters application examples for Nafion (tetrafluoroethylene ionomers).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The solubility of the Nafion charged polymer would dictate if it can be run at room temperature on an ACQUITY APC system and the columns. 

The tetrafluoroethylene (like PTFE) is run at high temperature and requires a fully heated high-temp GPC system from injection to detector to remain soluble.

The charged tetrafluoroethylene ionomers should be checked for solubility at room temperature prior to injecting on an APC or GPC system.
