Abstract
Abstract improved packings for columns useful in gas chromatography are made by a multistep process whereby polysiloxane molecules having various organic substituents are chemically bonded to the surface of a siliceous support. The process comprises one or more cycles of successive reactions with an activated support surface of silicon tetrachloride, an organic dichlorosilane, silicon tetrachloride a second time, a polysiloxane polyol, with intermediate hydrolyses where appropriate to provide reactive terminal silanol groups and a final capping reaction with an organic monochlorosilane. The packing as so prepared is further improved by coating with a conventional stationary phase.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
252 words
A process for making a chromatographic column packing by chemically bonding a siloxane polymer coating to the surface of a siliceous solid, comprising the steps of: (a) reacting by contacting an acid-activated siliceous surface with SiCl 4 , thereby causing substantial chlorosilylation of said surface, (b) reacting by contacting the chlorosilylated surface with water vapor until essentially all of the chlorosilyl groups have been hydrolyzed to hydroxysilyl groups, (c) reacting by contacting the hydrolyzed surface with excess dichlorosilane of the formula RR'SiCl 2 wherein R and R' each represent a methyl, ethyl, or vinyl radical for a time sufficient to react at least the major proportion of the hydroxysilyl groups to form corresponding disubstituted chlorosilyl groups, (d) reacting by contacting the reacted product of (c) with water vapor until essentially all of the disubstituted chlorosilyl groups have been hydrolyzed to corresponding disubstituted hydroxysilyl groups, (e) reacting by contacting the hydrolyzed product of (d) with SiCl 4 for a time sufficient to react substantially all of said disubstituted hydroxysilyl groups to form silyloxy chlorosilyl groups, and (f) reacting by contacting the chlorosilylated product of (e) with a molar excess over said silyloxy chlorosilyl groups of a siloxane polymer polyol in the liquid state, said polyol having a molecular weight of at least about 230 and having a molecular structure consisting essentially of repeating units of the formula thereby reacting essentially all of said silyloxy chlorosilyl groups with said polyol to form pendant polyol residues having at least one terminal hydroxyl group per residue.
