Ion-containing polymer

The physical properties of the acid- and ion-containing polymers are quite interesting. The storage moduli vs. temperature behavior (Figure 8) was determined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) for the PS-PIBMA diblock precursor, the polystyrene diblock ionomer and the poly(styrene)-b-poly(isobutyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) diblock. The last two samples were obtained by the KC>2 hydrolysis approach. It is important to note that these three curves are offset for clarity, i.e. the modulus of the precursor is not necessarily higher than the ionomer. In particular, one should note the same Tg of the polystyrene block before and after ionomer formation, and the extension of the rubbery plateau past 200°C. In contrast, flow occurred in...

In the broad use of the word polymer, ion-containing polymers are ubiquitous. They include inorganic substances such as silicate and borosilicate glasses discussed in Chapter 4, most biopolymers, solvent-swollen synthetic ion exchangers and some synthetic structural polymers. With few exceptions, these exhibit the characteristic feature of an electrolyte, ion mobility. In this chapter we consider the group of synthetic...

S. Richard Turner received his Ph.D. in organic-polymer chemistry from the University of Florida in 1971 and did a year of postdoctoral work at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry in Darmstadt, Federal Republic of Germany. Before joining the Kodak Research Laboratories in 1980, he worked in the Xerox Research Laboratories in Webster, New York, and the Exxon Corporate Research Laboratories in Linden, New Jersey. He is currently a Research Associate in the Polymer Science Laboratories at Kodak. His research interests include synthesis and properties of photoactive polymers, ion-containing polymers, and water-soluble polymers. He has over 80 publications and patents in these areas. He is a member of the executive committee of the Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering of the American Chemical Society, where he currently serves as Program Chairman. 

Research on the structure and properties of solid ion-containing polymers has been carried out extensively in several...
