Grafting of photoinitiator-4-maleimidobenzophenone (4-MBP) onto styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) triblock copolymer was carried out by free radical polymerization. The grafting ratio was evaluated by varying initiator concentrations, and the structure of grafted copolymer (SBS-g-MBP) was characterized by attenuated total reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results confirmed that 4-MBP was successfully grafted onto the SBS backbone. Thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to study the thermal properties and morphology of the SBS-g-MBP. From the data of TGA, the SBS-g-MBP had better thermal stability compared with that of SBS. DMTA testing indicated that the glass transition temperature (T-g) of SBS-g-MBP was higher than that of SBS. With the aid of SEM and AFM, the structure of micro-phase separation can be observed obviously. What is more, the aggregates become smaller compared with those of pure SBS. The experiment of UV-crosslinked SBS-g-MBP revealed that the gel fraction could be facilely controlled by adjusting grafting ratio and exposure time. The results suggested that this novel grafted copolymer could be attractive for its application in biomedical materials such as medical pressure-sensitive adhesive. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
