RESUMO

This work describes the development of new stationary phases (SP) based on poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methylphenylsiloxane) sorbed and immobilized onto silica and zirconized silica for reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. The polymer was immobilized by thermal treatment at 140 °C during 6 h, which were the conditions that produced SP with the best chromatographic performance. The SP prepared using these conditions presented carbon loadings between 10 and 11 % and polymeric thicknesses between 0.6 and 0.7 nm. The SP were end-capped aiming at a better coverage of the active sites of the support. This procedure increased the carbon loadings by about 2 % and reduced the number of free and vicinal silanols on the chromatographic supports. Physico-chemical characterization of the SP suggests that PDMFS is physically absorbed and chemically bonded to the supports and that the interactions with the metalized support are stronger. The SP were chromatographically evaluated by the separation of some test mixtures and the performances were similar to those of traditional commercial columns, with column efficiencies higher than 70000 plates m for acenaphthene on the SP without endcapping, and above 56000 plates m with the end-capped SP. The chromatographic characteristics of the SP were similar with regard to hydrophobic, spatial and aromatic selectivities. The end-capped SP presented higher hydrophobicity and lower hydrogen bonding capacity than the not end-capped SP. The metallization procedure increased the acidity of active sites and the ion exchange capacity of zirconized silica. However, the combination of zirconization of the support and the end-capping procedure is an important strategy to obtain SP with high stability. The SP presented potential for the separations of aromatic compounds with different polarities, of pesticides and of pharmaceuticals having basic groups.
