ABSTRACT:The possibility of modifying polycarbonates by using dian (Bisphenol A) polysulphone-polydimethyl siloxane block copolymers having multiblock structure and triblocks with end polydimethyl siloxane or a polysulphone block structure was shown. In triblock copolymers the polydimethyl siloxane blocks have a constant molecular weight equal to 2500, while in polyblocks it was assumed to be 2500 and 10,000. The molecular weight of polysulphone blocks varied between 700 and 9000 in triblocks or between 500 and 4500 in polyblocks. It was found that block copolymers of both multiand triblock structure with polydimethyl siloxane end blocks of concentration 45-68 wt % are created with PC microheterogenous blends. These blends, in a wide temperature interval (from cryogenic to the glass transition temperature of PC), have high impact strength when multiple crazes are created independently on testing temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
