Temperature transitions have been studied in the structure of triblock copolymers based on poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(acrylamide) (PAA-b-PEO-b-PAA) with central blocks of varying length and compared with individual polymers and polymer mixtures with analogous composition. It has been established that interaction of the polymer components on account of the formation of systems of intramolecular hydrogen bonds is strengthened by the presence of covalent bonds between the components.
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.
