Porous layer open tubular monolith capillary column: switching-off the reaction kinetics as the governing factor in their preparation by using an immiscible liquid-controlled polymerization

A new approach for preparation of monolithic porous layer opentubular capillary columns that eliminates the need for incomplete polymerization is presented. By expelling monomers from the capillary with a completely immiscible liquid a thin layer of polymerization mixture that wets the wall is left and polymerized by UV light.
