Notes:
Multiblock copolymers of styrene, butadiene, and ethylene oxide were synthesized by coupling together telechelic dihydroxyl polystyrene, telechelic dihydroxyl polybutadiene, and poly(ethylene glycol), using 2,4-toluene diisocyanate as coupling agent. The copolymers were purified by extractions and characterized by infrared (IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonace (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), membrane osmometry, and dynamic viscoelastometry. The multiblock copolymers are amphiphilic, exhibiting very good emulsifying properties. They possess a good phase transfer catalytic ability in Williamson reaction, and their LiClO4 complexes exhibit a conductivity above 1 × 10-4 S/cm at 35°C. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
