چکیده
Crystallization and morphological features of syndiotactic-b-atactic polystyrene stereodiblock copolymers (sPS-b-aPS), atactic/syndiotactic polystyrene blends (aPS/sPS), and aPS/sPS blends modified with sPS-b-aPS, with different compositions in aPS and sPS, have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized light optical microscopy (POM) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) techniques.

One-pot synthesis of isotactic-capped syndiotactic polystyrene with a bimetallic homogeneous catalytic system
INTRODUCTION Polystyrene can be obtained in atactic (aPS), isotactic (iPS) or syndiotactic (sPS) form by a variety of catalytic systems1,2 and initiators. For instance, it is known that (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanium derivatives activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) afford a highly sPS, with %m (defined as meso diads content, calculated by 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)) below the i...
متن کاملStudy of the thermal behavior of syndiotactic and atactic polystyrene by Raman spectroscopy
The glass properties and semi crystalline properties of polymers are observable by X-ray diffraction. Some previous works 1, 2, 3 were about determination of degree of crystallinity of sPS by various technologies, like for example DSC, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The purpose of this paper is to show importance of Raman spectroscopy as analytical tool for the study of amorphous and semi-crystall...

Investigations of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes are important in the design of many biomedical applications that include enzyme immobilization, drug delivery, biosensor design, and in bioprocessing where complexation with polyelectrolytes is used to prevent protein aggregation and for protein purification. In this work, we choose to study the effect of polyelectrolyte stereochemistry on the...
متن کاملDiscovery and development of metallocene-based polyolefins with special properties
Beside Ziegler-Natta and Phillips catalysts the development of methylaluminoxane (MAO) as cocatalyst in combination with metallocenes or other transition metal complexes for the polymerization of olefins has widely increased the possibilities in controlling the polymer composition, polymer structure, tacticity and special properties with high precision. These catalysts allow the synthesis of is...
متن کاملSimultaneous small-angle neutron scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic measurements on cocrystals of syndiotactic polystyrene with polyethylene glycol dimethyl ethers1
Syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) is a crystalline polymer which has a unique property; it is able to form cocrystals with a wide range of chemical compounds, in which the guest molecules are confined in the vacancies of the host sPS crystalline region. Recently, it has been found that even polyethylene glycol oligomers with a molecular weight of more than several hundreds can be introduced into t...
