Abstract
A study of the influence of thermal pre-treatment on the adsorption properties of various polymers (Porapak Q, Chromosorb 101, 102 and Tenax GC) is reported. The linear extrapolation of ln Vg against 1/T is examined in the context of the preheating temperatures. At higher temperatures, chromosorb 101 and 102 show a polarity increase, while Porapak Q shows a decrease. For styrene copolymers, the function ln Vg versus 1/T is fully linear only when the pre-heating temperature coincides with the temperature limit suggested by the manufacturers. Pre-heating temperatures between 200 and 300°C do not influence the adsorption characteristics of Tenax GC, for which the function ln Vg, versus 1/T is always linear. © 1983.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
