Study of Styrene Butadiene Block Copolymer

Three-dimensional study of cylindrical morphology in a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer

When a block copolymer undergoes microphase separation, well ordered microstructures result which give the copolymer unique thermal and mechanical properties. In relating these properties quantitatively to the microstructure, and in devising models for the phase separation, theoreticians have always invoked highly idealized structural elements. However, variations in the actual microstructure m...

Butadiene and Styrene Risks

The control of cell proliferation by gastrin has been investigated in a rat pancreatic tumour cell line, AR4-2J. Exogenous gastrin, 10-12 to 10-8 M, stimulated cell growth of thymidine-synchronised AR4-2J cells cultured over 48 h in serum-free medium. Cell lysates of AR4-2J cells contained an average of 4.5 and 3.5 pg gastrin per 106 cells, when grown in serum-supplemented or serum-free media, ...

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

Thermo-gravimetric Analysis (TGA) of combustion and gasification of Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer (SBR)

An investigation has been initiated to determine the effects of various atmospheres (6.9% 02iN2, 21 % 02iN2 (air), 30% 02iN2, 3% H2iN2 and pure N2) on the efficiency of gasifying or combusting rubber waste to produce synthesis gas or generate steam or power. This paper reports on the findings from a series of TGA experiments at various heating rates on styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBR), which i...
