On the efficiency of capillary columns coated with medium polarity thick films

Abstract
The efficiency of FSOT columns coated with thick films of polyphenylmethylsiloxane was theoretically and experimentally compared to thin apolar and medium polar coatings and to thick apolar coatings. Experimental hū and TZū plots clearly demonstrate the enormous loss in chromatographic efficiency of thick films of medium polar siloxane stationary phases. The low diffusion coefficient in the liquid phaese is responsible for this behavior. The influence of the temperature and the nature of the solute on the efficiency was also studied.
