Popis: Isocratic and gradient elution of high-molecular-mass polystyrenes were compared in a dichloromethane-acetonitrile mobile phase and C 18 bonded phase on a variety of different pore size silicas. Plots of the capacity factor versus the solvent composition were drawn from which solvent strength parameters, S , were determined for different molecular masses. Linear gradient elution data were also used to estimate S values using a graphical procedure. It was found that S depended on gradient rate and that only gradient rates of less than 2% /min gave constant values of S . Only molecular masses less than 50 000 gave good agreement with isocratic values. Plots of log S against log molecular mass were different for isocratic and gradient determined values of S .
