scope:

Handbook of Chromatography features tables and chromatograms, theoretical discussions, and practical applications on the topic. Tables and chromatograms are based on polymer analyses abstracted from literature references dating from 1981-1991. Compounds presented in the tables and chromatograms include residual monomers, plasticizers, additives, antioxidants, and products from the thermal degradation (pyrolysis) of a broad range of synthetic polymers.

Theoretical discussions focus on new developments in the respective areas of gas, pyrolysis-gas, liquid, and size exclusion chromatographic separations. Capillary column technology, inverse gas chromatography (IGC), supercritical fluid extractions (SFE), and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) are also covered. A Practical Applications subsection provides a list of commercial suppliers of column packings and packed columns for gas and liquid chromatography. The book will be an excellent reference for chromatographers, organic chemists, and analytical chemists.
