Synthesis and Characterization of Triblock Terpolymers with three Potentially Crystallisable Blocks: Polyethylene‐b‐poly(ethylene oxide)‐b‐poly(ε‐caprolactone)
Abstract
A first attempt was made to produce novel ABC triblock terpolymers with three potentially crystallisable blocks: polyethylene (PE), poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL). Polybutadiene‐b‐poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymers were synthesized by living anionic polymerization. Then, a non‐catalyzed thermal polymerization of ε‐caprolactone from the hydroxyl end group of the PB‐b‐PEO diblock precursors was performed. Finally, hydrogenation by Wilkinson catalyst produced PE‐b‐PEO‐b‐PCL triblock terpolymers. Side reactions were detected that lead to the formation of undesired PCL‐b‐PEO diblock copolymers, however, these impurities were successfully removed by purification. A range of triblock terpolymers with PCL and PEO minor components were prepared. Topological restrictions on the PEO middle block prevented this block from crystallizing while the complex crystallization behavior of the PE and PCL blocks was documented by DSC and WAXS measurements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
