Abstract
A method for making a surfactant-based monolithic column is provided. The method comprises providing a mixture comprising at least one surfactant monomer, at least one crosslinker, at least one initiator, and at least one porogen and polymerizing the mixture to form the surfactant-based monolithic column. The present disclosure also provides a surfactant-based monolithic column, a method for separating molecules, and a process for preparing a surfactant monomer.
Claims10
A method for making a surfactant-based monolithic column, the method comprising:
- providing a mixture comprising at least one surfactant monomer, at least one crosslinker, at least one initiator, and at least one porogen;
- and
- polymerizing the mixture to form the surfactant-based monolithic column, wherein the at least one surfactant monomer comprises a hydrocarbon monomer having a carbon chain length ranging from about 6 to about 20, a functional head group, and a conjugated tail group, wherein the functional head group comprises a carboxylic acid group, an amino acid group, or a phosphonium group.
A method for making a surfactant-based monolithic column, the method comprising:
- providing a mixture comprising at least one surfactant monomer, at least one copolymer monomer, at least one crosslinker, at least one initiator, and at least one porogen;
- and
- polymerizing the mixture to (i) copolymerize the at least one surfactant monomer and the at least one copolymer monomer, and (ii) form the surfactant-based monolithic column, wherein the at least one surfactant monomer comprises a hydrocarbon monomer having a carbon chain length ranging from about 6 to about 20, a functional head group, and a conjugated tail group, wherein the functional head group comprises a carboxylic acid group, an amino acid group, or a phosphonium group.
