Synthesis of Polystyrene-b-poly(n-butyl acrylate)-b-Polystyrene Triblock Copolymers as Binder for Pigment Dyeing

Well-controlled polystyrene-b-poly (n-butyl acrylate)-b-polystyrene (PSt-b-PnBA-b-PSt) triblock copolymers were prepared by RAFT (reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer) emulsion polymerization process. The mechanical properties of the triblock copolymers were investigated in comparison to the P(nBA-co-St) statistical copolymers. When the PSt content is 20%, the ultimate tensile strength of triblock copolymer is nearly six times the strength of statistical copolymer, while their modulus are all around 3.0×103 Pa. The triblock copolymer films feel smooth and non-tacky as the PSt content is higher than 20%. It indicates that PSt-b-PnBA-b-PSt triblock copolymers can be used as binders in pigment dyeing, providing the dyed fabrics with soft non-tacky handle and good fastness properties.

Gel Permeation

To develop a new drug delivery matrix with the suitable responsive interval, a well-defined triblock copolymer MPEG-b-PNIPAM-b-MPEG was synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Then, the supramolecular hydrogels were fabricated via inclusion complexation with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and the triblock copolymers in aqueous solutions. The triblock copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and the supramolecular structures of hydrogels was confirmed by DSC. The resultant hydrogels was found to be thermo-sensitive, and the response interval could be modulated by controlling the content of PNIPAM.
