Chromatographia - Virtual Issue on Macromolecular Separations II

CHROMATOGRAPHIA is delighted to bring you its Second Virtual Issue on Macromolecular Separations, celebrating some of the work in this regard published in the journal during the last two calendar years. The original papers highlighted in this virtual issue show how techniques as diverse as size-exclusion chromatography, asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation, high-temperature interaction polymer chromatography, and even inverse gas chromatography and ion chromatography have been applied to the study of macromolecules. Using these techniques, researchers probed the structure of both synthetic and natural polymers; determined molar mass, size, chemical composition, and interaction and solubility parameters and dispersive surface energies of polymers and polymer composites; examined detector and wavelength orthogonalities; measured column end efficiency and bed heterogeneity; and determined the stability of monoclonal antibodies in the presence of excipients and degradation products. We expect contributions to the journal in these areas to continue to grow and welcome your submissions. In the meantime, please enjoy the articles in this virtual issue.
