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%.

ABSTRACTA thermo-responsive hydrogel was prepared on the basis of terpyridine endfunctionalized polystyrene-block-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) diblock copolymer. As a first level of assembly, the copolymer was dissolved in a selective solvent to yield micelles bearing terpyridine ligands at the extremity of the coronal chains. The second level of self-assembly was triggered upon addition of metal ions to the micellar solution. Mechanical properties of the accordingly obtained micellar gel were finally characterized by rotational rheometry, below and above the lower critical solution temperature.

Helical nanofibers with a large aspect ratio were crafted from an achiral all-conjugated diblock copolymer, P3HT-b-P3HHT, in an aged pyridine solution. Such helical nanofibers exhibit superior mechanical properties and charge transport properties.
