Abstract:

The micellization of polystyrene based block copolymers was investigated in aqueous and in organic media. Micelles formed from polystyrene-b-poly(sodium acrylate) (PS-b-PANa) in sodium chloride solutions were investigated by static light scattering (SLS). The aggregation numbers (N$ rm sb{agg})$ were influenced by low salt concentrations ($<$0.10 M) and they were essentially independent of the soluble block lengths. The core radii ($ rm sb{e}$ agreed well with previous solid state results on similar samples studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). It was thus concluded that no supermice

Abstract:

The structure and association behaviour of poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (SMA) and poly(styrene-alt-N,N-dimethylpropylamide) (SMI) polymers were studied using molecular modeling. The conformational studies were carried out at a semi-empirical PM3 level. SMA and SMI polymers were found to associate into nanotubes. These nanotubes have primary, secondary and tertiary structures. The primary structure is the conformation the polymer takes depending on the degree of protonation and its chirality. The secondary structure is the association of many polymers to form a nanotube structure. The ter

Abstract:

This dissertation describes the characterization of polystyrene- b-poly(acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) copolymer micelles by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The segmental chain dynamics of the polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) copolymer during the micellization process was investigated by solution-state proton NMR measurements. The spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation parameters revealed the increased motional restriction of the PS blocks of the PS-b-PAA copolymer as aggregation was induced. The mobility of the PAA segments also decreased during the micellization process. However, the

The reactor product which has higher modulus but lower impact resistance is further toughened by incorporation of EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) and SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene) triblock copolymer, via intensive melt-mixin

Abstract:

The growing demand in portable and compact consumer devices and appliances has resulted in the need for the miniaturisation of electronic components. These miniaturised electronic components are sensitive and susceptible to damage by voltages as low as 20V. Electrically conductive styrenic thermoplastics are widely used in electronic packaging applications to protect these sensitive electronic components against electro-static discharge (ESD) during manufacturing, assembly, storage and shipping. Such ESD applications often require the optimal volume resistance range of ≥ 1.0x105 to < 1.0x108 Ω

Indeed, during crystallization of PEO, the amorphous block, i.e. PS, is rejected from the crystal accumulating on its basal surfaces. Since the crystal thickness formed duri

Abstract:

Structure-property behavior of free radical synthesized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) - polystyrene and PDMS-styrene derivative block polymers have been studied. The block polymers were provided by Dr. J. V. Crivello from GE. Two different types of segmented polytetramethyleneoxide (PTMO) based ionene elastomers were also investigated. The PTMO-dihalide ionenes were obtained through the courtesy of Dr. C. M. Leir in 3M, while the PTMO-dipyridinium ionenes were synthesized by Dr. B. Lee in Prof. McGrath’s research group at VPI&SU. In the free radical synthesized PDMS-PS block polymers, the molec

Abstract:

Nous avons étudié l'utilisation du phénomène de ségrégation de surface afin de fonctionnaliser des matériaux polystyrène (PS). L'incorporation d'un additif copolymère à blocs est réalisée dans une matrice d'homopolymère de polystyrène sous forme de film ou de particule. Quand les mélanges sont recuits dans un environnement humide le copolymère amphiphile migre à la surface pour réduire la tension de surface du matériau. Nous avons synthétisé au laboratoire trois copolymères à blocs de nature chimique différente: le PS-b-PAA (polyacide acrylique), le PS-b-PGA (polyacide glutamique) et le PS-b-P

Abstract:

Controlled free radical polymerization facilitates the production of polymers with highly defined microstructures like traditional ionic polymerization; but in contrast allows for previously unattainable monomer combinations such as acrylic acid in its non-protected form. Incorporation of acrylic acid into styrene was done by random copolymerization of acrylic acid (directly and in its protected form as tert-butyl acrylate) with styrene. Styrene/tert-butyl acrylate (S/t-BuA) as well as styrene/acrylic acid (S/AA) mixtures were copolymerized to form tapered or gradient copolymers. Using an alko
