Polysiloxane Analysis on Agilent PLgel 5 µm MIXED-E using GPC/SEC with RI and ELS Detection Application Note Materials Testing and Research, Polymers Authors Introduction Greg Saunders and Ben MacCreath Polysiloxanes are important commercial polymers used in applications such as lubri- cating oils, defoaming agents and sealants. Analysis of these materials by gel perme- Agilent Technologies (UK) Ltd.. ation chromatography (GPC) is an important part of process and quality control proce- Essex Road dures. Although polysiloxane is soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF), it is isorefractive with Church Stretton this solvent. As a result, refractive index (RI) detection cannot be used with THF.
