“…SEC for PET has been carried out using chloroform/HFIP (98/2) [3,4], HFIP [5], and dichloromethane/HFIP (95/5) containing tetraethylammonium chloride [6]. Similarly, polyamides has been analyzed using various mobile phases such as toluene/HFIP (8/2) [7], HFIP containing sodium trifluoroacetate [8,9], or tetraethylammonium nitrate [10]. However, not only HFIP but also the chlorocarbons for HFIP dilution are undesirable for safety and environmental reasons.…”
