Does GPC involve chemical interaction?

Points on GPC and chemical interaction:

  • The Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) separation mechanism operates without chemical interaction between the polymer sample and the stationary phase.
  • Polymer molecules are transported through the column exclusively by the flow of the mobile phase solvent.
  • This purely physical size-exclusion process preserves the original chemical structure and functional integrity of the polymer chains.
