After hydrolysis of the films, different topographical and phase images are observed, as shown in Fig. 3.58 c and d. Block copolymer microphase separation is more pronounced and the phase images in particular reveal the presence of small features on top of the elevated worm-like features. These observations may be attributed to the fact that the PtBA groups have reacted to polyacrylic acid, which now swells due to uptake of water from the ambient air. The measured roughness increases to 5 nm.

Various approaches have been taken to improve the properties of fluorosilicones. In this connection, Kobayashi et al. [17] synthesized several methyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsiloxane (F)-dimethylsiloxane (D) random and block copolymers. The random copolymers were prepared by equilibrium copolymetization starting from a mixture of cyclic F and D siloxanes with potassium silanolate as the catalyst The F-D block copolymer was prepared by sequential anionic living polymerization of strained cyclotrisiloxanes using a much weaker catalyst, lithium silanolate. The prepared copolymers were soluble in both tetrahydrofuran (THF) and...

The successive repeat units in strucutres [VI]-[VIII] are of two different kinds. If they were labeled Mj and M2, we would find that, as far as microstructure is concerned, isotactic polymers are formally the same as homopolymers, syndiotactic polymers are formally the same as alternating copolymers, and atactic polymers are formally the same as random copolymers. The analog of block copolymers, stereoblock polymers, also exist. Instead of using Mj and M2 to differentiate between the two kinds of repeat units, we shall use the letters D and L as we did in Chap. I.

An oral dental riase geaeraHy coasists of water, alcohol, a humectant, an emulsifier, flavor, color, and an active agent. Water is the primary vehicle. The alcohol provides bite and is also a formulation aid. The humectant improves the feel ia the mouth and also prevents locking of the cap to the container between uses glycerin or noncrystaUiziag sorbitol may be satisfactory. The emulsifier is a nonionic type, for example, a polyoxyethylene—polyoxypropylene block copolymer or a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester. Flavors are generally a type of mint or cinnamon. Colors are FD C or D C.

Generation of radicals by redox reactions has also been applied for synthesizing block copolymers. As was mentioned in Section II. D. (see Scheme 23), Ce(IV) is able to form radical sites in hydroxyl-terminated compounds. Thus, Erim et al. [116] produced a hydroxyl-terminated poly(acrylamid) by thermal polymerization using 4,4-azobis(4-cyano pentanol). The polymer formed was in a second step treated with ceric (IV) ammonium nitrate, hence generating oxygen centered radicals capable of starting a second free radical polymeriza-... 

The generic features of these approaches are known from experience in anionic polymerization. However, radical polymerization brings some issues and some advantages. Combinations of strategies (a-d) are also known. Following star formation and with appropriate experimental design to ensure dormant chain end functionality is retained, the arms may be chain extended to give star block copolymers (321). In other cases the dormant functionality can be retained in the core in a manner that allows synthesis of mikto-arm stars (324).
