Abstract:While numerous studies have addressed the morphological characteristics of diblock copolymer blends either with a second copolymer or a parent homopolymer, relatively few have examined comparable blends containing a triblock copolymer. In this study, we investigate the role of midblock bridging on the morphological and physical characteristics of blends composed of a poly(styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene) (SIS) triblock copolymer with either an unconstrained homopolyisoprene (hi) or an end-grafted SI diblock copol… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup 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 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.
