Popis: The molecular weights of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA), calculated according to polystyrene calibration standards upon the elution of THF on styragel columns, appear to be much lower than their actual values determined using independent approaches. This is likely due to interactions between the nitrogen-containing units of PNIPA polymer chains and the sorbent, so the polymer is eluted in the mode intermediate between exclusion and critical. An effective exclusion mode during the elution of PNIPA on a styragel column can be achieved by using an eluent more polar than tetrahydrofuran (particularly, 1-methylpyrrolidone).
