RAFT polymerization afforded acrylic ABC triblock copolymers with self-complementary nucleobase-functionalized external blocks and a low-Tg soft central block. ABC triblock copolymers self-assembled into well-defined lamellar microphase-separated morphologies for potential applications as thermoplastic elastomers. Complementary hydrogen bonding within the hard phase facilitated self-assembly and enhanced mechanical performance.
可逆加成-断裂链转移(RAFT)聚合反应制备了丙烯酸ABC三嵌段共聚物,其外部嵌段由具有自互补核碱基功能化修饰,中间是低玻璃化转变温度(Tg)的软质嵌段。ABC三嵌段共聚物自组装形成结构明确的层状微相分离形态,有望用作热塑性弹性体。硬相中互补的氢键促进了自组装并提高了机械性能。
