Hydrophobic monomers, hydrophobically-derivatized supports, and methods of making and using the same
A filtration media is disclosed comprising a hydrophobic monomer grafted onto a support, the hydrophobic monomer having the structure: CH 2 ═CR 4 C(O)NHC(R 1 R 1 )(C(R 1 R 1 )) n C(O)XR 3 wherein n is an integer of 0 or 1; R 1 is independently selected from at least one of: a hydrogen atom, alkyls, aryls, and alkylaryls, wherein the alkyls, aryls, and alkylaryls have a total of 10 carbon atoms or less; R 3 is a hydrophobic group selected from at least one of: alkyls, aryls, alkylaryls and ethers, wherein the alkyls, aryls, alkylaryls and ethers have a total number of carbon atoms ranging from 4 to 30; R 4 is H or CH 3 ; X is O or NH. In some embodiments the hydrophobic monomer is derived from an amine or an alcohol (HXR 3 ) that has a hydrophilicity index of 25 or less. Such media may be used in applications such as hydrophobic interaction chromatography.
