Notes:
Low molecular weight poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) samples were derivatized to increase their solubilities in the supercritical mobile phase, CO2. tert-Butyldimethylsilyl ester derivatives provided better chromatographic performance and molecular weight range than did trimethylsilyl or methyl esters. Individual oligomers were resolved through approximately n = 28. Higher oligomers, up to approximately n = 45 (corresponding to an underivatized molecular weight of more than 3300), were eluted from the column but were not resolved. Ammonia chemical ionization and electron ionization supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry data revealed that the PAA terminal groups of the samples studied were sulfonate and hydrogen.
