Efficiency of graft copolymers at stabilizing co-continuous polymer blends during quiescent annealing

Solvent-free preparation, characterization, and properties of SEBS–g–polycarbonate copolymers

“…[5] The first one is the addition of a graft or block copolymer. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] To form a graft copolymer, two strategies exist, the grafting from between polymers [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and the grafting onto, [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] with a polymer bearing an initiating function previously induced by ozonolysis or irradiation. [30,31] A coupling reaction through a function can also be used to generate specific functions onto a polymer chain moiety to then start a grafting from or a grafting onto.…”

Nanomembrane Materials Based on Polymer Blends

“…In a two-phase polymer blend, two types of morphologies can be encountered: disperse/matrix and co-continuous morphology. In general, at low concentration of one phase, the morphology is the former; increasing the concentration of the minor phase leads to the latter; at higher concentrations phase inversion leads once again to disperse/matrix morphology [108]. The pore size of nanomembranes materials based on polymer blends can be defined by the phase size of one of the phases in the blend and hence composition, interfacial tension, viscosity ratio and other parameters influencing phase morphology can be used to control porosity.…”

Synthesis, copolymer composition, and rheological behavior of functionalized polystyrene with isocyanate and amine side groups

“…[18][19][20][21] The existence of functionalized group increases the branch degree of the polymer chain, which can drastically influence the viscoelastic properties of the polymer. [22][23][24][25] FPs, especially, with amine group have been widely investigated recently because of their great reactivity and potential uses in such applications as adhesion, surface science, compatibilizer of polymer blends and so forth. [26][27][28][29] As reported in the literature, amine endgroup polymers have been obtained by conventional radical polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization, [30][31][32][33] anionic polymerization, [34][35][36][37] and reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization.…”
