PG - 79-87 AB - Size exclusion chromatography (SEC), gradient polymer elution chromatography (GPEC) and liquid chromatography at critical conditions (LC-CC) have been developed and applied to observe chemical changes in poly(bisphenol A)carbonate (PC) due to hydrolytic degradation. Especially LC-CC appeared to be very successful to observe differences in functionality of PC as result of hydrolytic degradation. Observed differences due to degradation could be identified by (semi) on-line coupling to matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The differences in functionality could be attributed to the formation of different end-groups, i.e. OH end-groups. In addition, comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) has been applied successfully to study the hydrolytic degradation of PC. LC-CC x SEC showed that the formation of PC with different end-groups occurred over the whole molecular mass range. This information could not be obtained with the separate liquid chromatographic techniques, thereby illustrating the added value of 2D-LC.
