Summary
The characterisation of fatty alcohol ethoxylate based surfactants by on-line LC-NMR coupling is described. Different surfactant mixtures were separated by a mixed exclusion-adsorption method of liquid chromatography and simultaneously characterised by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Information about the degree of oligomerisation of the ethylene oxide chain and the chemical structure of the endgroups can be obtained in a one-step experiment.
