Abstract
The straightforward synthesis of a polystyrene-arm polybutadiene-arm-p oly(methyl methacrylate) triarm star copolymer has been successfully r ealized by a sequence of reactions which involves the sequential addit ion of a living polybutadienyllithium to a polystyrene macromonomer wi th a terminal 1,1-diphenylethylene unit and subsequent polymerization of methyl methacrylate. The high-molecular-weight polystyrene-arm-poly butadiene-arm-poly(methyl methacrylate) star copolymer shows microphas e separation into three phases.
