Highlights exciting developments in the science of chromatography and separations. Provides a unified theory to explain the manner of sorption in various forms of chromatography. Explores selectivity in reversed-phase HPLC, characterization of bonded-phases, relationship of column-packing structure and performance, variability of reversed-phase packing materials, and the differences between silica-based reversed-phase and poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) columns. Includes a special section on computerization in chromatography. Organic chemists, theorists, and bioscience researchers will find this work a stimulating, timely look at the science of chromatography.
