What study are you doing with this information? It is very much easier to focus more on Mobile phases since they are easy to manipulate. 

The most appropriate way to compare stationary phase polarity (typical reversed phases) is to use this data base. This database allows you to find which columns are similar to a given column and which columns are dissimilar.  http://www.hplccolumns.org/database/compare.php

The reason you are not finding much information is because "polarity" is an ill-defined term in chromatography especially for surfaces.

Thanks Farooq. Its a good reference.

Since the basis of chromatographic separation is dependent on polarity, electrical charge and size of the molecule, you may benefit from going though this link for better understanding:

Thank you Lee.

As our friends mentioned above the best place is hand book of chromatography, or better hand book of stationary phase. Obviously you are trying to separate the components of a sample, and you have chosen a correct method, because the polarity of the analyte must be matched with the stationary phase, if not the retention times would be too short. 

As you will have seen from the earlier cited link to Waters, they are quite good at providing this kind of information for their products. Here is another link that compares their columns by polarity etc (mainly reverse-phase):

I have found that it can be useful to work from an appropriate column suggested by this this type of guide, and then look in detail at its properties, in order to find out which columns from other suppliers match most closely, if you do not wish to be restricted to Waters products.

Sorry, I have re-posted this as I had to delete an accidentally duplicated RG account, so my answer appeared with a 'deleted' profile

That is a fairly general question. You may have Adsorption chromatography, where the stationary phase is a polar adsorbent (e.g. silica) and the mobile phase is nonpolar (e.g. hexane). Then you may have reverse phase, where the stationary phase is nonpolar (e.g. the C18 you mention) and the mobile phase is polar (e.g H2O/Acn). Go further and you end up in ion exchange chromatography. For size exclusion or affinity chromatography, polarity is not the driving force for separation. 

For further reading I suggest a general textbook on HPLC such as Katz et al (1998) Handbook of HPLC or Lough and Wainers 1995 High Performance

Liquid Chromatography. Fundamental Principles and

Practice.

Hi Tushar: May I ask why do you ask this question? It would help us to know why because your question is very general and a search on the web, at column vendor sites, would rapidly provide the data you need.

There are about one thousand general purpose HPLC columns on the market today sold under a number of names and types. Out of that group there are perhaps 15-20 basic categories of columns (which have significant differences in properties). There are subsets of these column types which would expand on the number too. It all depends on what you are trying to find out.

Bill, thank you for your response. I have been looking into your answers frequently. It means a lot to me to get your response. Basically I am a Teacher by profession. I asked the question to make the students thorough about the influences of polarity on the retention behavior in reversed phase specially. In liquids we do have a clear cut idea based on polarity index. For solid stationary phase it is much dependent on the particle size owing to relative polar surface area. Hence i was seeking for the reference which can give me a list of relative polarities of stationary phase along with the particle size. It was just to make students learn it conceptually.
