BAB triblock copolymers prepared by PISA in water self-assemble into a transient network of bridged micelles. The slowdown of the exchange of B blocks between micelles during PISA is highlighted as well as the parameters affecting the polymerization.

ABSTRACTAddition of a block-selective homopolymer to a microphase-ordered block copolymer is known to result in preferential swelling of the chemically compatible microdomain. In this work, we examine the miscibility between a triblock copolymer and a relatively low-molecular-weight, chemically dissimilar, midblock-associating homopolymer and demonstrate that the homopolymer molecules residing in the swollen midblock matrix self-assemble to avoid repulsive interactions with neighboring microdomains. We extend this investigation to include systems composed of a very low-molecular-weight, midblock-associating additive (an oil). At high oil concentrations, the glassy copolymer endblocks micellize, resulting in the formation of a thermoplastic elastomer gel.

In this report, s-1-dodecyl-s’-(α,α’-dimethyl-α’’-dimethyl-α’’-aceticacid) trithiocarbonate (RAFT-COOH) was successfully synthesized by phase transfer catalyst reaction, which was then amidated with diaminopropyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (NH2-PDMS-NH2) to synthesize PDMS-based macro-RAFT agent to control the synthesis of tri-block copolymer PDMA-b-PDMS-b-PDMA. The successful synthesis of small and macro chain transfer has been confirmed by techniques of FTIR. Moreover, the polymerization to synthesize tri-block copolymer proceeded with first-order kinetics, which showed the reaction system was a controlled/‘living’ polymerization. The triblock copolymers have also been characterized by FTIR, 1HNMR, and GPC techniques, which confirmed the successful synthesis of triblock copolymer.

Bile salts can associate to PEO–PPO–PEO block copolymer micelles and disintegrate them depending on the relative block length and molecular weight of the copolymers and bile salt/copolymer molar ratio.

The behaviour of polymeric systems at surfaces and under flow is very important in many applications, from drug delivery to lubrication. Here, we have studied the thermotropic phases formed by a model tri-block copolymer using in situ Rheo-GISANS.
