Phase Diagram of Tapered Copolymers Based on Isoprene and Styrene

Although several phase diagrams of block copolymers prepared by sequential monomer addition are known today, the phase diagrams of the corresponding tapered copolymers have not been reported in detail and this despite the industrial importance of the latter. A phase diagram based on a series of tape...

description Although several phase diagrams of block copolymers prepared by sequential monomer addition are known today, the phase diagrams of the corresponding tapered copolymers have not been reported in detail and this despite the industrial importance of the latter. A phase diagram based on a series of tapered diblock copolymers is reported, generated by the sec‐butyllithium initiated statistical anionic copolymerization of styrene and isoprene in cyclohexane. This affords copolymers with polyisoprene volume fractions, f, in the range of 0.43
