Abstract

Synthesis, molecular, and morphological characterization of two linear diblock copolymers consisting of two polydienes with specific geometric isomerisms and two triblock terpolymers with a combination of the same polydienes with polystyrene are investigated for both lower and very high molecular weights. This work is inspired from a previous research study which demonstrated that linear ABC terpolymers consisting of polystyrene, poly(butadiene), and poly(isoprene), with specific geometric isomerisms for the polydienes, lead to 3-phase microphase separated systems. We report also the coexistence of the core-shell double gyroid and the 3-phase 4-layer alternating lamellae morphologies with the majority fraction being the lamellar structure. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
