How is Liquid Chromatography Applied to Nanomaterials?
Liquid chromatography can be tailored to separate and analyze different types of nanomaterials. For instance, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) are commonly used techniques. HPLC is utilized for separating complex mixtures of nanoparticles based on their chemical properties, while SEC separates nanoparticles based on their size, making it ideal for studying polymer nanoparticles and biomacromolecules.
