Molecular weight block copolymers

Utilization of another function of the macroinitiator was tried in emulsion polymerization [30]. An MAI composed of PEG (molecular weight of a segment is 1000) linked with AGP units was confirmed to be usable as a surface active initiator (Inisurf) for preparing PSt-b-PEG [30]. A higher molecular weight block copolymer was obtained in comparison with the case of solution copolymerization.

Hyperdispersants are low-molecular-weight block copolymers designed to separate filler and pigment particles from each other, disperse them more readily in hquid systems, and stabilize these dispersions for more efficient use of the sohd particles. One block is designed to be attracted to the surface of the solid particle, the other block to be attracted into the plasticizer, polyolefin, or other matrix being used for the masterbatch, and also into the final matrix polymer in the finished product. The exact nature of these block copolymers is still a secret of their developers and producers. 

Such 2D-LC separations had been applied mainly for low molecular weight block copolymers with a high contrast in polarity of two blocks. Recently Park et... 

Block copolymers are also of scientific interest because they exhibit a wealth of microphase structures and are model systems for the study of phase transitions, owing to their slow molecular dynamics and control over molecular weight. Block copolymer microstructure also responds to external fields and often exhibit surprising behavior. Whereas many studies have focused on the interaction with block copolymer microstructure and shear, here we focus on the interaction of block copolymer microstructure with electric fields. First, block copolymer phase behavior and microstructure are reviewed. 

D 10 —10 cm /s. Depending on molecular weight, block copolymers have much lower values of D 10 -10cm /s for molecular weights between 4000 and 10,000 g/mol (47).

Semifluorinated alkanes are low-molecular-weight block copolymers of nonnal perfluorocarbons and hydrocarbons [160-171]. Their structure formula F(CF2) (CH2) H is usually abbreviated to F ,H [164] or F H , [163]. The semifluorinated alkanes so far reported have 6 to 32 carbon atoms m -f- n). 

Even low-molecular-weight block copolymers have values for this process. If an ethylene oxide (E) polymer terminating in hydroxyls is used to start a propylene oxide (P) polymerization, a block polymer results with hydrophilic (E) and hydro-phobic (P) portions. The products at molecular weights of 1000-2000 are useful as surface-active agents.
