Surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of acrylic acid (AA) was conducted in toluene medium, starting from the macromolecule initiators of poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride-co-divinylbenzene) (PcMs/DvB) beads, The amounts of poly(acrylic acid) grafted chains with different ATRP formulations were calculated based on the elemental analyses. The poly(acrylic acid) grafted beads obtained with different ATRP formula- tions were tried as chromatographic packings in the separation of proteins by ion-exchange chromatography. The effect of the poly(acrylic acid) grafted chain lengths on PCMS/DVB beads for the separation of proteins was investigated in details. Simultaneously, characterization of the column was investigated as ion chromatographic stationary phase for the separation of inorganic cations. The results show that poly(acrylic acid) grafted columns had excellent performance for separation of proteins and inorganic cations. The highest of the dynamic capacity of the column was 35.55 mg/mL.
