摘要
Aggregation of polyaniline emeraldine base dissolved in polar aprotic solvents containing lithium chloride salt results in distorted non-Gaussian elution peaks in the size exclusion chromatogram. This results in significant error for the calculation of the weight average and number average molecular weights measured by size exclusion chromatography. We compare the effectiveness of LiCl, LiBr, and LiBF4, for limiting polymer aggregation in a high molecular weight sample of polyaniline, and thereby improving chromatographic peak shape. Weight average and number average molecular weight values were most accurately determined for dilute polyaniline in NMP solutions containing LiBF4.
