E. Mignard et al., Neutron scattering analysis of a block copolymer poly(1,4-phenylene)-block-polystyrene-block-poly(1,4-phenylene, SYNTH METAL, 102(1-3), 1999, pp. 1246-1247
Poly(1,4-phenylene)-block-polystyrene-block-poly(1,4-phenylene) (PPP-b-PS-b
-PPP) blocks copolymers were synthesized by chemical modification of a prec
ursor copolymer. After characterization by Size Exclusion Chromatography (S
.E.C) and W-Visible spectroscopy, triblock copolymers were studied in CS2 s
olution at room temperature by neutron-scattering analysis. These triblock
copolymers are highly aggregated, A ribbon model seems to give the best fit
for the PPP core.
