In many cases of use of commonly-available ODS silica gel fillers, there occur problems of tailing and broadening of
basic compounds. Although these problems have been considered to be caused by improper end capping rate, they have not been solved
only by improvement of the rate. Therefore, efforts have been made to examine the methods of further octadecyl silylation and
secondary silylation and increase the coverage. However, also the metallic content in silica gel is relevant to these problems,
and the causes are being identified experimentally. Although direct and indirect influences of residual silanols(neutral, acidic
and free silanols) and metal on samples have not been clarified, the low-metallic content fillers, Wakosil®-II Series, show the
following results. |
