Review: Inverse Gas Chromatography for the Characterization of Polymer Blends

Zeki Y. Al‐Saigh

Abstract

Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) has been proven to be useful for the characterization of polymer blends in terms of polymer-polymer interaction parameters, polymer-solute interaction parameters, solubility parameters, molar heat of sorption and mixing, melting point depression as an indicator of miscibility, contact energy parameters, and surface characterization. A complete treatment of the theories of polymer blend solution and IGC are illustrated, and the general use of the IGC method is reviewed.
