Abstract Tensile failure properties of syndiotactic 1,2 polybutadiene/trans 1,4 polybutadiene crystalline blends are improved by addition of 5–10% amorphous 1,2 polybutadiene/1,4 polybutadiene diblock copolymer. The effect of block molecular weight and microphase behavior of the diblock copolymer was investigated. Heterogeneous diblocks enhance blend properties to a greater extent than homogeneous diblocks. In blends with enhanced properties, percent coverage of interfacial surface area by diblock is on the order of 10%.

Double Diamond

ABSTRACTWe report the observation of the ordered bicontinuous double diamond (OBDD) structure in binary blends of poly(styrene-isoprene) diblock copolymer and homopolystyrene. The overall polystyrene volume fraction range is 64 - 67 PSvol% for the OBDD structure in binary blends of a lamellar diblock (SI 27/22) and a homopolymer (14.0 hPS). This composition range is approximately within the polystyrene volume fraction range established for pure diblock copolymers in the strong segregation regime having the OBDD structure. Ordered lamellae are observed at approximately 65 PSvol% when the homopolystyrene molecular weight is greater than the molecular weight of the polystyrene block of the copolymer. This observation is discussed in terms of the decreased degree of mixing between the homopolymer and the corresponding block and the resultant effect on the interfacial curvature.

Amphiphilic diblock copolymers based on methoxy polyethylene glycol (MePEG), 1, 6-hexanediol and maleic anhydride with different molar composition were synthesized by solution polycondensation. Self-assemble behavior of amphiphilic diblock copolymer in different solvents by dialyzing technique was discussed. The micelle morphologhy was observed by TEM. It was found that well core-shell MePEG1900/Polyester 2162 copolymer nanoparticles can be formed by self-assemble in acetone solution. In addition, the size of nanospheres measured using dynamic light scattering exhibited a narrow monodisphere size distribution and an average diameter in the ranger of less than 200nm.
