Synthesis and Characterization of Model Polyalkane−Poly(ethylene oxide) Block Copolymers
Abstract
We describe the preparation of a new set of amphiphilic block copolymers with well-defined molecular weights and block volume fractions. The synthesis of a variety of polyalkane−poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers was accomplished by a new polymerization−hydrogenation sequence. Initially, anionic polymerization of either butadiene or isoprene was performed followed by end capping with ethylene oxide. The resulting hydroxyl-terminated polydienes were catalytically hydrogenated to give the corresponding hydroxyl-terminated polyalkanes. These polymeric alcohols were then titrated with potassium naphthalenide to yield the analogous potassium alkoxides. This type of macroinitiator was employed in the polymerization of ethylene oxide. Seventeen polyalkane−poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers were prepared in near quantitative yields with molecular weights ranging from (1.4 to 8.7) × 10 3 and poly(ethylene oxide) volume fractions ranging from 0.29 to 0.73. These polymers are model materials for block copolymer phase behavior studies.

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.
