AbstractPoly(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate)s were fully analyzed by liquid chromatography at the critical point of adsorption (LC-CC) and two-dimensional chromatography. Operating at chromatographic conditions corresponding to the critical points of the homopolymers polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate), the block lengths distributions for the different blocks of the block copolymers were determined quantitatively. Information on the amounts and molar mass distributions of homopolymers and coupling products that were identified in the samples as by-products was obtained by on-line coupled 2D chromatography. It was shown that a complete picture of the molecular heterogeneity of block copolymers can be obtained only when information from different chromatographic experiments is combined. Size exclusion chromatography alone is inappropriate for evaluating the molecular heterogeneity of such samples.

We have prepared two classes of LC diblock copolymers, OcSt-b-LC and MeStb-LC, by living anionic polymerization. These are composed of the side-chain LC polymer as one segment and two different amorphous polymers, poly(octyl styrene) (OcSt) and poly(α-methyl styrene) (MeSt), as the other segment. OcSt and MeSt segments have glass transition temperatures of −60 °C and 160 °C respectively, which are relatively lower and higher than the transition temperatures of crystal–SA (∼90 °C) and SA–isotropic (∼130 °C) in the LC segment. In OcSt-b-LC the lamellar domain size decreases gradually from that of the crystal phase to that of the isotropic phase, indicating that the global conformation of the backbone changes throughout the SA temperature region. In MeSt-b-LC, in contrast, no change in the lamellar size is observed and the crystallinity of the LC segment is reduced in comparison with that in OcSt-b-LC while the liquid crystal is well formed. Such a distinction between two copolymer systems, arising from an interplay between the LC and amorphous segments, shows that the global conformation of the backbone is significant for understanding the phase behaviour and structure of side-chain LC polymers.

Living anionic polymerization of 4-diphenylphosphino styrene (DPPS) achieved well-defined homopolymers, poly(DPPS-b-S) styrenic block copolymers, and poly(I-b-DPPS) diene-based diblock copolymers with predictable molecular weights and narrow polydispersities.

AbstractA new series of side chain liquid crystalline-amorphous diblock copolymers has been successfully synthesized using chiral mesogens. Anionic polymerization techniques have been used to make these monodisperse diblock materials. Preliminary studies suggest that these microphase segregated diblock copolymers exhibit a smectic C* phase. This mesophase exists between and above the glass transition temperatures of the two polymer blocks. Synthesis and characterization of these novel materials are discussed.
