Micelle growth and clustering in blends of polystyrene and styrene-butadiene diblock copolymer

Compatibilization of blends of polybutadiene and poly(methyl methacrylate) with poly(butadiene-block-methyl methacrylate)

“…4). 17,18 The mean diameter of micellar aggregation in the PB phase is about 200 nm. We are not sure if there are homo-PMMA chains solubilized in the cores of micellar aggregation.…”

Three‐Phase Model of Two‐Component Blends Consisting of a Polystyrene–Polybutadiene Star Block Copolymer and a Polystyrene Homopolymer

“…[6] Another study on four arm SB star block copolymer/ PS homopolymer (hPS) blends has revealed that the hardness increased with the increase in the PS-layer thickness. [7] The mechanical behaviour [8][9][10][11][12][13] and morphology [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] of blends of SB block copolymers and hPS have been repeatedly investigated in the last decade, mainly by Adhikari el al. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The morphology of blends of an SB star block copolymer and PS, which ranges from microphase-separated to macrophaseseparated structure depending on the molecular weight of the PS and the composition of the blends clearly affects the tensile mechanical properties.…”
