By using the inverse gas chromatography (IGC) method, we determined glass transition temperature and surface properties of PVBC-DMAC. The obtained glass transition temperature, Tg, is a good agree with the one obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Also considering some isomeric alcohol and acetate solvents in the temperature range from 303.2 K to 353.2 K, we investigated the polymer selectivity. The parameters KA (acidic) and KD (basic) of the PVBC-DMAC surface were calculated. The obtained KA,KD values reflected that PVBC-DMAC surface has a basic character.
