SEC/MALDI analysis of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) self association due to phenol end groups

The association of polybiphenol carbonate in dilute solutions was investigated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) matrix-assisted desorption/ionization (MALDI) methods. An appreciable amount of self-association due to the end groups was revealed by the MALDI analysis of the SEC fractions collected from four polycarbonate samples. SciVal Topic Prominence
