The compatibilizer with double comb structure has a superior compatibilizing effect for immiscible polymer blends due to the symmetrical structure on both sides of main chains. Extensive study related to the architectural effects of compatibilizer on the compatibilization has mainly focused on the side chains. We investigated the influence of the compatibilizer-main-chain structure on the compatibilizing effect for immiscible poly(vinylidene fluoride)/poly(L-lactic acid) (PVDF/PLLA) blends. Two reactive-comb compatibilizers with polystyrene (PS) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as main chains and PMMA as the side chains have been synthesized. PS is immiscible with both PLLA and PVDF, while PMMA is miscible with PVDF. It was found that both compatibilizers can improve the compatibility between the PLLA and PVDF, with different compatibilization effects. In the PVDF/PLLA (50/50) blends, 1 wt.% poly(styrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate)-graft-poly(methyl methacrylate) (RC–SG) tuned the morphology from the droplet-in-matrix structure to the co-continuous structure, while the blends with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate)-graft-poly(methyl methacrylate) (RC–MMG) kept the sea-island structure with even 3 wt.% loading. Moreover, RC–SG induces a wider co-continuous interval range than RC–MMG. The co-continuous structure obtained by RC–SG was also more stable than that by RC–MMG. It was further found that RC–SG-compatibilized PVDF/PLLA blends exhibit higher mechanical properties than the RC–MMG-compatibilized blends.

Abstract New polymer brushes with an ester backbone and poly(methyl methacrylate) side chains are synthesized by polycondensation and polymerization methods. The initiating groups are sulfonyl chloride groups laterally attached to the polyester chain. PMMA side chains are grafted by the ATRP method according to the “grafting from” multicenter macroinitiator strategy. The conditions for the polymerization processes in a controlled mode are selected, and the ways of targeted regulation of the degree of polymerization of methacrylate side chains are determined. Using the synthesized copolymers self-supporting films are obtained, and their physical and mechanical properties are studied.

Proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra in solution of poly (methyl methacrylate-co-4-vinyl pyridine), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-2-methyl-5-vinyl pyridine), and of their derivatives obtained by quaternization with methyl iodide are presented. The vinyl pyridine structural units content of the samples is ca. 10%. In different solvents, the spectra provide information about the sequence distribution and configuration of the copolymers. A "coisotactic" alternating addition, defined as the probability of finding a methoxy group and a pyridine ring neighboring each other on the same side of the main chain, can be estimated as about 0.5 in both cases. This information arises from the splitting of the aromatic and of the methoxy signals (both in proton and carbon spectra). As expected, quaternization does not affect the copolymer configuration. Heteronuclear-correlated two-dimensional spectra can help in assigning the spectra.
