Characterization of ultrahigh molar mass polyelectrolytes by capillary electrophoresis

Résumé

High to ultrahigh molar mass (above 1 million g/mol) anionic poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)s are widely used industrial polymers for water treatment and oil drilling. Their properties are strongly related to their charge density and molar mass distributions. However, due to inherent separation limits of SEC with currently available columns (< 5 ×106 g/mol) and possible occurrence of chain breakage, and/or adsorption leading to abnormal elution, characterization of unusually high molar masses polyelectrolytes is challenging. In this work, we investigate the use of polymer sieving capillary electrophoresis for the size-based characterization of these high to ultrahigh molar mass polyelectrolytes. By optimizing the operating conditions (electric field, ionic strength, injected polyelectrolyte concentration, nature of the polymer sieving), it has been possible to considerably reduce polyelectrolyte aggregation and to get sufficient size-based selectivity, allowing to obtain the size distribution of the polyelectrolytes over a large range of molar mass from 105 up to ~10×106 g/mol. The data processing of the raw electropherograms is a key step in the analytical protocol leading to the molar mass distribution. The polyelectrolyte effective mobility in sieving conditions has to be normalized to its free-draining electrophoretic mobility in free solution conditions to take into account possible variability in the charge density between the different samples.
