Abstract Citation* - American scientist, chemist. Dr. Ralph Milkovich was a pioneer in anionic polymerization and heterophase polymer science. He demonstrated the concept of living anionic polymerization. He prepared the first poly(styrene-block-isoprene-block-styrene) thermoplastic elastomer, exhibiting the properties of a vulcanized rubber but processible as a thermoplastic. He also prepared a new class of polymeric materials, macromonomers, useful for the syntheses of well-defined, comb-type graft copolymers.
