Gel permeation chromatography(GPC) was used to evaluate the molecular weight of synthesized CAR-CBA. Polyethyleneimine(PEI) with molecular weight of 25 kDa was adopted as a reference, and polyethylene glycols(PEG) with different molecular weights were used to establish a standard curve for determining the molecular weight of CAR-CBA. The effects of two critical factors, namely columns and eluents,on the molecular weight measurement of CAR-CBA were investigated to optimize the GPC quantitative method. The results showed that Ultrahydrogel columns(120, 250) and HAc–NaAc(0.5 M, pH 4.5) buffer solution were the optimal column and GPC eluent, respectively.The molecular weight of the synthesized CAR-CBA was analyzed by the optimized GPC method and determined to be 24.66 kDa.展开更多

The peaks in 1H-NMR spectra corresponding to main-chain, side-chain and chain-end groups are assigned by 1H-1H gCOSY, 1H-13C gHSQC and gHMBC spectra. For the first time, the spin-lattice relaxation time （T1） of protons of the chain-ends is revealed to be affected more by polymer molecular weight （MW） than by the protons of the main-chains and the side-chains （almost independent from MW）. As a result, a much higher delay time （dl） for chain-ends （d1〉 20T1） is needed for quantitative NMR measurement when using end-group estimation method to obtain the MW of PS, which is in accordance with the value estimated by GPC. An improved method for the polymer MW determination is established, by combination of different NMR techniques to distinguish the peaks, and a large dl setting to achieve quantitative NMR analysis.展开更多
