Abstract
Three kinds of block copolymers of styrene and isoprene with different interface structure were prepared by using step anionic copolymerization method. A diblock copolymer (SI), tapered block copolymer (TBSI) and poly[isoprene-b-(isoprene-costyrene)-b-styrene] triblock copolymers (INA) were used for the following studies. Information about content, composition and thickness of the interface, as well as molecular motion differences in the three phases were obtained by using proton solid state NMR. In addition, complementary studies using dynamic mechanic analysis, TEM and solution NMR were performed. The order of the interface content of the samples is TBSI>INA>SI. This is consistent with the sequence length results from solution NMR. The spin-spin relaxation time T2, which is a function of the system mobility of the rigid PS block of TBSI, is longer than that of SI and INA. while the T2 of the mobile PI block of TBSI is shorter than that of SI and INA. This indicates that there is a substantial mixing of the incompatible components within the PS and PI domain. The interfaces detected by NMR seem to be mainly by the intramolecular effect because the interface consists of 70% isoprene, and 30% styrene.
