ResumoInverse gas chromatography (IGC) is an extension of conventional gas chromatography (GC) in which a non-volatile material to be investigated is immobilized within a GC column. This stationary phase is then characterized by monitoring the passage of volatile probe molecules of known properties as they are carried through the column via an inert gas. The invention of IGC in 1967 (1) and the subsequent development of IGC theory and methodology, beginning in 1976 (2) and continuing today, are the consequence of the increasing interest in materials science. While IGC was initially used only in the study of synthetic polymers, today, as evidenced in this book, IGC is used to study synthetic and biological polymers, copolymers, polymer blends, glass and carbon fibers, coal, and solid foods. Laub (3) estimates that in the decade prior to 1977, IGC related publications contributed only approximately 3% of the total of some 1400 devoted to
