Small-Angle X-ray Scattering Analysis on the Estimation of Interaction Parameter of Poly(n-butyl acrylate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate)

Sang-In Lee et al.

Summary: The temperature dependence of the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter chi for PBA-b-PMMA was quantified using SAXS analysis and RPA theory. The enthalpic contribution of chi was found to be 1.7-4.5 times smaller for PBA-b-PMMA compared to styrene-diene-based block copolymers. This suggests that these fully acrylic components are desirable for constituting terpolymers used in thermally stable and mechanically resilient elastomers.

Sustainable ABA triblock methacrylate copolymers incorporating both high and low Tg terpene-derived monomers

Rachel L. Atkinson et al.

Summary: We reported the synthesis of terpene-based monomers from beta-pinene, which can be used to produce polymers with high Tg values and well-defined structures. The synthesized materials showed promising properties as hard blocks in thermoplastic elastomers, and ABA triblock copolymers incorporating a renewable soft block were also successfully synthesized using a difunctional RAFT polymerization method. The initial phase separation behavior and adhesive properties of these copolymers were investigated, highlighting their potential as renewably sourced thermoplastic elastomers.

RAFT polymerisation of renewable terpene (meth)acrylates and the convergent synthesis of methacrylate-acrylate-methacrylate triblock copolymers

Rachel L. Atkinson et al.

Summary: Terpenes are considered ideal candidates for sustainable polymer feedstocks due to their natural abundance and availability from existing waste streams. By using RAFT control, well-defined polymers and precise di- and multiblock copolymer architectures can be synthesized. A wide range of T-g values are observed for terpene (meth)acrylate homopolymers, which can be utilized to create renewably-sourced hard-soft block copolymers.
