Molecular composites are a new class of structural polymers which are high-strength, high-modulus, thermally stable, and environmentally resistant. A rigid-rod, extended chain polymer component is used to reinforce a matrix of flexible, coil-like polymer component with the intent of achieving a composite on the molecular level. The critical factor in processing a molecular composite is that the rod-like reinforcing component be well dispersed and not phase separate from the matrix component. We previously reported on the morphology of a molecular composite from a physical blend of rigid-rod and flexible-coil homopolymers. In this paper we are reporting on the morphology of a rigid-rod, flexible-coil, triblock copolymer processed by vacuum casting or fiber spinning from a dilute solution.

The use of polyolefins in structural components requires the simultaneous improvement of stiffness and toughness of the matrix, whilst in the case of sensing components during operation, additional functions are needed such as electrical conductivity. However, providing various desired properties without impairing those intrinsic to the materials can be somewhat challenging. In this study we report the preparation of an isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/styrene–ethylene–butylene–styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS)/graphene system that combines enhanced mechanical properties with electrical conductivity. Blends were prepared by solution mixing (SoM) and solution/solid state mixing (SoM/SSM) formulation routes prior to melt processing. The nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the electrical and mechanical properties were evaluated. The materials prepared via the SoM/SSM route displayed good electrical conductivity while retaining the mechanical properties of iPP, making them attractive materials for low cost and high throughput structural components with sensing capacity.

High-molecular-weight PLA440-b-PEO454-b-PLA440 (LEL) triblock copolymer was synthesized through simple ring-opening polymerization (ROP) by using the commercial homopolymer HO-PEO454-OH as the macro-initiator. The material acted as a single template to prepare the large mesoporous carbons by using resol-type phenolic resin as a carbon source. Self-assembled structures of phenolic/LEL blends mediated by hydrogen bonding interaction were determined by FTIR and SAXS analyses. Through thermal curing and carbonization procedures, large mesoporous carbons (>50 nm) with a cylindrical structure and high surface area (>600 m2/g) were obtained because the OH units of phenolics prefer to interact with PEO block rather than PLA block, as determined by FTIR spectroscopy. Furthermore, higher CO2 capture and good energy storage performance were observed for this large mesoporous carbon, confirming that the proposed approach provides an easy method for the preparation of large mesoporous materials.
