Styrene-butadiene-styrene Tri-block Copolymers Modified with Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes

Magnetic properties of barium ferrite dispersed within polystyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers.

Magnetic properties of nanocomposite materials obtained by dispersing barium ferrite nanoparticles within polystyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, in the temperature range, 300 to 500 K are reported. The temperature dependence of the magnetization at saturation, averaged uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and coercive field of thick films are analyzed. A "matrix effect" was noticed w...

Rapid Modular Synthesis and Processing of Thiol−Ene Functionalized Styrene−Butadiene Block Copolymers

Diblock and triblock copolymers of poly(styrene)-block-poly(1,2-butadiene) (PS/PB) and PS/PB/PS were modified by photochemical thiol−ene chemistry to process selected functional nanopatterned polymers, with reaction completion in 1 h. PB molecular weight (MW) and thiol−ene ratios were systematically varied based on a model monomer, boc-cysteamine, to determine the efficiency of the reaction. Th...

Synthesis and Characterisation of Styrene Butadiene Styrene Based Grafted Copolymers for Use in Potential Biomedical Applications

In the annals of history the evolution of the synthetic rubber industry can be traced to the early 1930s where the first emulsion polymerised styrene butadiene rubber known as Buna S was prepared by I. G. Farbenindustrie in Germany. But it was not until the US Government in 1940 established the Rubber Reserve Company, a stockpile of natural rubber and the development of a synthetic rubber progr...
