Influence of molecular architecture of S–S/B–S triblock copolymers on rheological properties

The influence of middle and outer block composition of symmetric triblock copolymers consisting of a polystyrene–polybutadiene (S/B) random middle block and two polystyrene (PS) outer blocks on morphology and rheological behavior has been investigated. Master curves are obtained by shifting the experimental data measured at different temperatures using time‐temperature superposition principle, the validity of which was confirmed in the linear viscoelastic regime. The rheological properties are observed to be strongly influenced by the relative composition of the S‐SB‐S triblock copolymers. Increasing the S/B ratio from 1:1 to 1:2 in the middle block has lead to a change in morphology from wormlike to lamellar, which is also accompanied with broad and sharp tan δ peaks in the dynamic mechanical measurements, respectively. The storage and loss modulus have been observed to increase with the increase in PS contents in the outer blocks and PB content in the middle block. The triblock copolymer with wormlike structure showed terminal linear viscoelastic behavior, whereas the ones with lamellar morphology showed nonterminal flow behavior in the similar low‐frequency regime. The relaxation modulus (G_t) has been observed to increase four times when the S/B ratio is increased from 1:1 to 1:2, whereas it increases threefold when the PS‐content in the outer block was increased by just 8 wt %. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Diffusion in microstructured block copolymer solutions

This work explores the effect of heterogeneity of chemical composition on tracer diffusion, when the characteristic size of the heterogeneities approaches that of the diffusing molecule. A heterogeneous environment is created by the self-assembly of diblock copolymers in solution. The system chosen for this study is polystyrene-polyisoprene diblock copolymers in toluene, which is a common solvent for the two blocks. Above a certain critical concentration, these systems are known to microphase separate into swollen domains of polystyrene and polyisoprene. Diffusion of homopolystyrene through the microstructure is measured in this work. The characteristics of the microstructure are varied by studying block copolymers of different molecular weights and compositions. The tracer diffusion coefficients of the labelled polystyrenes are measured by forced Rayleigh scattering, while the microstructure of the matrix is inferred from small angle X-ray scattering measurements. In this paper, we report results for the diffusion of polystyrenes (molecular weights 3.2 × 10⁴ and 9.0 × 10⁴) in microstructured solutions of three copolymers. Two copolymer samples forming lamellae of alternating polystyrene and polyisoprene microphases and one sample forming polystyrene cylinders embedded in a polyisoprene matrix have been examined. The data indicate that the tracer diffusion coefficient of 3.2 × 10⁴ molecular weight polystyrene in lamellar and cylindrical solutions is comparable to that of the homopolymer in a homogeneous solution of the same concentration. In contrast, the diffusion of 9.0 × 10⁴ molecular weight polystyrene is substantially slower in the structured solutions than in unstructured solutions of the same concentration. For example, the diffusion coefficient of 9.0 × 10⁴ molecular weight polystyrene in a 47% block copolymer solution with cylindrical microstructure is lower than its value in a homogeneous solution of the same concentration by a factor of 30.     

Effect of mixing conditions on the morphology and properties of polystyrene/polyethylene blends compatibilized with styrene–butadiene block copolymers

The effect of mixing conditions on the morphology, molten‐state viscoelastic properties, and tensile impact strength of polystyrene/polyethylene (80/20) blends compatibilized with styrene–butadiene block copolymers containing various numbers and lengths of blocks was studied. Under all mixing conditions, an admixture of a styrene–butadiene block copolymer led to a finer phase structure and to an increase in the dynamic viscosity, storage modulus, and tensile impact strength. The effects were stronger for S–B diblock with a short styrene block than for S–B–S–B–S pentablock with long styrene blocks (where S represents styrene and B represents butadiene). For all blends mixed longer than 2 min, the mixing time had only a small effect on their morphology and properties. Surprisingly, the localization of S–B diblock copolymers was strongly dependent on the rate of mixing. The mixing rate had a nonnegligible effect on the viscoelastic properties of the compatibilized blends. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 41: 609–622, 2003     

Complex macromolecular structures from stable radical containing block copolymers

A novel synthetic strategy for the synthesis of graft copolymers is reported. Block copolymers containing segments with stable nitroxyl radicals side groups were first prepared by anionic polymerization, which were then used as a precursor for the subsequent nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMRP) of styrene. This way, block–graft copolymers with polystyrene side chains grafted from one of the blocks were successfully synthesized in a controlled manner. In addition, block–graft copolymers with grafted polystyrene chains and a poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) block were subjected to hydrolysis to yield the corresponding amphiphilic polymers. The structures and the molecular weight characteristics of the polymers were characterized by spectral and chromatographic analyses. The surface morphology of thus obtained polymers was also investigated by microscopic techniques. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 58, 62–69

Compatibilization efficiency of styrene–butadiene multiblock copolymers in PS/PP blends

The compatibilizing effect of di‐, tri‐, penta‐, and heptablock (two types) copolymers with styrene and butadiene blocks was studied in polystyrene/polypropylene (PS/PP) 4/1 blends. The structure of PS/PP blends with the addition of 5 or 10 wt % of a block copolymer (BC) was determined on several scale levels by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). The results of the structure analysis were correlated with measured stress‐transfer properties: elongation at break, impact, and tensile strength. Despite the fact that the molar mass of the PS blocks in all the BCs used was about 10,000, that is, below the critical value M^* (～18,000) necessary for the formation of entanglements of PS chains, all the BCs used were found to be good compatibilizers. According to TEM, a certain amount of a BC is localized at the interface in all the analyzed samples, and this results in a finer dispersion of the PP particles in the PS matrix, the effect being more pronounced with S‐B‐S triblock and S‐B‐S‐B‐S pentablock copolymers. The addition of these two BCs to the PS/PP blend also has the most pronounced effect on the improvement of mechanical properties of these blends. Hence, these two BCs can be assumed to be better compatibilizers for the PS/PP (4/1) blend than the S‐B diblock as well as both S‐B‐S‐B‐S‐B‐S and B‐S‐B‐S‐B‐S‐B heptablock copolymers. In both types of PS/PP/BC blends (5 or 10 wt % BC), the BC added was distributed between both the PS/PP interface and the PS phase, and, according to SAXS, it maintained a more or less ordered supermolecular structure of neat BCs. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Study of molecular motion of block copolymers in solution by high-resolution proton magnetic resonance

Molecular motions of hydrophobic–hydrophilic water-soluble block copolymers in solution were investigated by high-resolution proton magnetic resonance (NMR). Samples studied include block copolymers of polystyrene–poly(ethylene oxide), polybutadiene–poly(ethylene oxide), and poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide). NMR measurements were carried out varying molecular weight, temperature, and solvent composition. For AB copolymers of polystyrene and poly(ethylene oxide), two peaks caused by the phenyl protons of low-molecular-weight (M?_n = 3,300) copolymer were clearly resolved in D₂O at 100°C, but the phenyl proton peaks of high-molecular-weight (M?_n = 13,500 and 36,000) copolymers were too broad to observe in the same solvent, even at 100°C. It is concluded that polystyrene blocks are more mobile in low-molecular-weight copolymer in water than in high-molecular-weight copolymer in the same solvent because the molecular weight of the polystyrene block of the low-molecular-weight copolymer is itself small. In the mixed solvent D₂O and deuterated tetrahydrofuran (THF-d₈), two peaks caused by the phenyl protons of the high-molecular-weight (M?_n = 36,000) copolymer were clearly resolved at 67°C. It is thought that the molecular motions of the polystyrene blocks are activated by the interaction between these blocks and THF in the mixed solvent.
