Description

Multi-angle light scattering detector based on static light scattering technology
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a multi-angle light scattering detector, in particular to a multi-angle light scattering detector based on a static light scattering technology.
Background
Macromolecules are a class of substances with relatively high molecular weights, generally referred to as compounds with molecular weights up to several thousands to millions. The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the polymer have a close correlation with their properties. There are currently various test techniques for detecting molecular weight of high molecular substances, such as end group titration (detection of number average molecular weight Mn), viscosity (detection of viscosity average molecular weight Mv), single tube static light scattering (detection of weight average molecular weight Mw), which are all capable of detecting only average molecular weight.
Gel permeation chromatography GPC can yield molecular weight distribution. Conventional gel permeation chromatography GPC uses a differential refractive index detector or an ultraviolet detector to detect the flow-out time and concentration information of a sample, by plotting a calibration curve using a series of narrow distribution standard samples of different molecular weights, separating the sample by a chromatographic column during the test, obtaining the molecular weight of each component sample from the calibration curve, and further obtaining the molecular weight distribution and average molecular weight (Mw, mn, mz) relative to the standard samples. Conventional gel permeation chromatography detection yields relative molecular weight information, not absolute molecular weight information of the sample, which, although widely used, has significant limitations. Firstly, the correlation between the relative molecular weight and various properties of the sample (such as strength, toughness, viscosity, etc.) is poor, and secondly, when the sample has additional structural information (such as branched, hyperbranched polymer, or protein sample), there may be several times of difference between the relative molecular weight and absolute molecular weight, and the test result of the relative molecular weight is easily affected by factors such as chromatographic pump precision, chromatographic column brands and combinations, chromatographic column aging, column temperature fluctuation, etc.
Disclosure of Invention
