SEC elution curves of spruce milled wood lignin (MWL) and guaiacyl lignin polymer models (G-DHPs) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) exhibited a bimodal elution profile. Light scattering measurements indicated that these elution profiles were due to association effects between the molecules. This became apparent from the determination of high molar masses in the range 10(5)-10(8) g/mol. To study this effect, MWL and DHP were fractionated by precipitation in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The THF-insoluble fractions were found to be the fractions corresponding to the apparent high molar mass part of the DMF elution profiles. The THF-soluble fractions proved to be the less-associated fractions, with lower apparent molecular mass. The individual fractions proved to be rather stable in DMF. Accordingly, the bimodal elution profiles of the starting materials were not the result of an equilibrium between associated and molecular dispersed molecules but of different structures exhibiting a specific and stable association pattern. The different fractions were further characterised by SEC in THF after acetylation to determine molar masses in molecular disperse solutions.
