In this study we used Suzuki cross-coupling to synthesize three new donor/acceptor copolymers—PFTBO, PAFTBO, and PCTBO—featuring soluble alkoxy-modified 2,1,3-benzooxadiazole (BO) moieties as acceptor units and electron-rich building blocks—dialkyl fluorene (F), alkylidene fluorene (AF), and carbazole (C), respectively—as donor units. These polymers, which we characterized using gel permeation chromatography,...
A novel graft-type poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (poly(NIPAM-co-AAc)) microgel with linear grafted poly(NIPAM-co-AAc) side chains was prepared by incorporating the dual stimuli-responsive chains into conventional copolymerized poly(NIPAM-co-AAc) backbones as side chains through a grafted modification of molecular structure. The grafted chains with unfettered ends can unfold and shrink...
Thermoplastic elastomers consisting of triblock copolymers (MBM) with outer syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (sPMMA) blocks associated to an inner polybutadiene (PBD) block have been modified by stereocomplexation with isotactic PMMA (iPMMA) at a constant 21 sPMMAiPMMA (or si) mixing ratio. Toluene cast films of these stereocomplexes have been studied by thermal analysis as a function of molecular...
Triblock and pentablock copolymers of the X(Y)B(Y)X type have been synthesized by the sequential living anionic polymerization of butadiene (B), styrene (Y) and alkylmethacrylate (X), respectively. The diadduct of t-BuLi onto m-diisopropenylbenzene (m-DIB) has been used as a difunctional initiator. Methylmethacrylate (MMA), t-butylmethacrylate (tBMA) and isobornylmethacrylate (IBMA) have been used...
A novel thermoplastic elastomer consisting of a triblock copolymer (MBM) with outer syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (sPMMA) blocks associated to an inner polybutadiene (PBD) block has been modified by stereocomplexation with isotactic PMMA (iPMMA). Solution cast films of stereocomplexes have been analysed by thermal analysis as a function of the iPMMA/sPMMA (i/s) mixing ratio and the solvent...
Syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (sPMMA)-polybutadiene (PBD)-sPMMA triblock copolymers, or MBM, have been studied in the presence of o-xylene which is a selective solvent for the central PBD block. Syndiotactic PMMA is known to self associate in o-xylene. The central PBD sequence does not prevent the self-association of sPMMA from occurring. Actually, this phenomenon contributes to the stability...
