History of monolithic stationary phases

History of monolithic stationary phases

Although the monolithic stationary phases suitable for separations were introduced in the 1990s [1,2,3], the idea of using a “continuous block of the porous gel structure” as stationary phase was discussed in Analyst by R. L. M. Synge, A. J. P. Martin, and A. Tiselius as longs ago as in 1952. Both equilibrium and kinetic [...]

Separation of small molecules on organic polymer monoliths

Separation of small molecules on organic polymer monoliths

Because of lack of small pores it is difficult to separate small molecules with polymer monoliths in isocratic mode. We have prepared monolithic capillary columns and then hypercrosslinked them to afford a monolith containing an array of small pores [1].

Control of porous properties in organic polymer monoliths

Control of porous properties in organic polymer monoliths

Many applications of porous materials in areas such as catalysis, adsorption, ion exchange, chromatography, and solid phase synthesis rely on the intimate contact with a surface that supports the active sites.

Pore formation in organic polymer monoliths

Pore formation in organic polymer monoliths

The generally accepted mechanism of pore formation in organic polymer monolihts during a typical polymerization in the presence of a precipitant is following [1,2]:

Monolithic stationary phases

As a new type of chromatographic stationary phase, monoliths have been subjected to intensive study in the last years. They differ from other supports mainly in their characteristic structure, which results in the improved chromatographic properties.
