Part I. Acta Chrom. 17, 302-313 (2006). Non-polar (RP-2, RP-8, and RP-18) and polar (amino, cyano, and diol) chemically bonded stationary phases have been impregnated with solutions of organic substances at different concentrations and the effect of impregnation on the mechanism of retention of alcohols, higher fatty acids, amino acids, and medicines has been investigated.

Anal. Biochem. 393 (1), 67-72 (2009). A DNA/polyvinyl alcohol interpenetrating polymer network was produced by cross-linking polyvinyl alcohol with glutaraldehyde and subsequent cross-linking of DNA by UV irradiation. The polymer was then used to coat the surface of porous silica particles for TLC. Three typical DNA-binding compounds and eight amino acid enantiomers were used as model chemicals to investigate the chromatographic behavior of the modified TLC phase. Both classes of chemicals provided high separation efficiency. DNA-modified TLC phases could be used for various application fields, including efficacy evaluation of a medicine, toxicity assessment of a pollutant at the molecular level, as well as separation of enantiomers of dyes, amino acids, peptides, proteins, nucleotides, and drugs.

J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 39, 385-393 (2016). Review of the new plates that have been commercialized, mainly silica gel and bonded silica gel-prepared plates, including plate sizes, binders, fluorescent indicators, plate thickness, multi-layer plates, channeled plates and sample location in the sorbent layer. New experimental synthesis routes to prepare ultra TLC plates were also reviewed. _x000D_

Study of the influence of e.g. organic matter, saline and alkaline salts, cations and pH on the mobility of mono-, dicarboxylic, basic and aromatic amino acids using soil thin-layer chromatography. Discussion of mobility in terms of Rf values of amino acids under different treatments.

Buseki Kagaku 38, 443-448 (1989). TLC of azo dyes, amino acids and cholesterols on plasma-coated silica. Comparison of the Rf values of the compounds with those obtained on uncoated or propargyl alcohol plasma-coated silica. The ratio of Rf values, coated/uncoated, was higher in nonpolar developing solvents than in polar ones.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 3, 389-396 (1990). Forced flow development (OPLC) was used to determine the porosity, permeability, and apparent average particle size of commercially manufactured TLC plates and Empore sheets. Compared with columns, layers exhibit smaller values for the total porosity (eT - 0.69) and interstitial porosity (e U - 0.42).
