Colloidal and Morphological Behavior of Block and Graft Copolymers

  • Conference paper
Block Polymers

Abstract

Block and graft copolymers can be visualized as homopolymers which are connected by chemical bonds. Molecules of block and graft copolymers are thus molecules of a higher order. They are more complex than molecules of either homopolymers or random copolymers, and they are more difficult to synthesize in a well-defined form, but they have also many properties which cannot be found in homopolymers or random copolymers. If the different sequences of the homopolymeric substructures are long enough, the properties of both of the corresponding homopolymers can often be found simultaneously in block or graft copolymers. On the other hand, if the homopolymeric substructures are short, block and graft copolymers can behave more like random copolymers and can have properties intermediate between those of the corresponding homopolymers. Block and graft copolymers also can have properties found neither in homopolymers nor in random copolymers. These properties are a result of the composite nature of the block or graft copolymer molecules which permit not only interactions between the polymer chains and the environment, e.g. the solvent when in a solution, but also interactions between the different homopolymeric subchains themselves.
