Spectrophotometry of nonvolatile esters and capillary electrophoresis of surfactants

This research represents both the development of simple spectrophotometric methods amenable for routine analysis as well as characterization of the newer separation technique, capillary electrophoresis (CE), for nonvolatile organic compounds. Initial research involved the investigation of macrolide antibiotics which were discovered to react with Fe;The first CE project involved the separation of aliphatic surfactants with indirect conductivity detection(ICD). Anions such as...
