Abstract

Block copolymers of lauryl methacrylate and styrene were synthesized by using polystyrene (macroinitiator)/EBiB (initiator)/CuBr/OPMI(catalyst/ligand) initiation system. DSC traces shows two Tg's (39.36°C and 100.21°C) confirm the complete phase separation or formation of block copolymers. NMR also indicates block synthesis.
