Abstract
This note describes the synthesis of A-B-A block copolymers with B = PDMS a nd A = polystyrene or PMMA. The method involves the use of chloromethyl ter minated polysiloxanes as initiators for Atom Transfer Radical Polymerisatio n. Characterisation of the copolymers by NMR is described together with the ir thermal properties as measured by differential scanning calorimetery. (C ) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
