Inverse gas chromatography of liquid polybutadienes

Results of inverse gas chromatography study of liquid polybutadiene and dihydroxypolybutadiene are presented. The study was motivated by the application of polybutadiene polyols in polyurethane chemistry where miscibility problems are often encountered. The experimental results revealed marked differences in interaction behavior of polybutadiene and dihydroxypolybutadiene, particularly with relation to the polar molecules. Influence of temperature is discussed as well as relation to the previous miscibility study.
