The micellization of several Pluronics (PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymers) was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). These copolymers were also characterized and purified by liquid chromatography. The PEO/PPO compositions of Pluronics were determined by 'H-NMR. The thermograms from DSC showed a pre micellization shoulder for L81 and L121 solutions. The effects of temperature, PO/EO ratios and impurities on the micellization of copolymers were investigated. The origin of the shoulders in DSC thermograms was shown to be due to the most hydrophobic components in the copolymers, which could be removed by hexane extraction. Low molecular weight fractions of the copolymers were separated by interaction chromatography. The low molecular weight fractions did not contribute to the micellization of the copolymers.

Abstract Dynamic mechanical measurements were performed with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers, Kraton D-1101 and D-l 102. Isochronal data were obtained from −130 to 85°C in the tensile mode at 1 Hz and from 60 to 160°C in the shear mode at 1 rad/s. The isothermal measurements were also performed at 60, 90, 120, 140, and 160°C in the frequency range of 0.0316 to 100 rad/s. The results suggest that the two polymers have different morphologies although the styrene content and the diblock content are about the same for both polymers. Kraton D-1101, which has 1.5 times higher molecular weight, has 3–5 times higher rubbery modulus, compared to D-1102. The lower molecular weight polymer, D-1102, appears to have a larger amount of the mixed phase at the boundary. This is suggest by the lower temperature of the “domain disruption”, Tdd and the higher magnitude of tan δ at Tdd. This explains the difference in the rubbery moduli of the two polymers.
