Poly(dimethylsiloxane‐b‐styrene) diblock copolymers prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain‐transfer polymerization: Synthesis and characterization

“…In AFM images, the low spots appeared as dark patches, and the high spots appeared as bright areas. Hydrophobic patches appeared as low spots, and less hydrophobic areas appeared as high spots 59, 60. Therefore, the phase data for the hydrophobic patches were dark, and the hydrophilic areas were bright in the AFM topographical data obtained under ultralight tapping mode 61, 62.…”

Microphase separation behavior on the surfaces of poly(dimethylsiloxane)‐block‐poly(2,2,3,3,4,4,4‐heptafluorobutyl methacrylate) diblock copolymer coatings

“…Siloxane polymers and fluorinated polymers are two families of low surface energy materials. There were lots of investigations focusing on modifying the surfaces of the polymers using siloxane polymers that have low surface energy or/and fluorinated polymers to obtain the surface microphase separation structures 2–12…”

Surface microphase separation in PDMS‐b‐PMMA‐b‐PHFBMA triblock copolymer films

“…There were lots of investigations focusing on modifying the surfaces of the polymers using siloxane polymers that have low surface energy or/and fluorinated polymers to obtain the surface microphase separation structures. [8][9][10][11][12][13] However, previous studies in this field mainly focused on the fluorinated polymers or polymers with poly-(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) segments. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Recently, we synthesized a series of PDMS-blockpoly(2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutyl methacrylate) (PDMS-b-PHFBMA) diblock copolymers using commercially available materials by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and the microphase separation behavior on their surfaces was also investigated.…”
