Block Copolymers

    0.01 sec.
Block Copolymers 

polymers having macromolecules in which comparatively long sequences of the links of one monomer (blocks) alternate with blocks of another monomer. The macromolecule of a block copolymer may be represented schematically in the form ~ AAAABBBB . . . BBBAAAAA ~, where A and B are monomer links of a different chemical nature.

Other topics include a novel concept for stabilizing small inorganic nanoparticles, compounds containing siloxane as polymer stabilizers, amphiphilic block copolymers as potent efflux pump inhibitors for drug delivery and cancer therapy, current developments in double hydrophilic block copolymers, and hindered amine stabilizers as sources of markers of the heterogeneous photo-oxidation and photo-stabilization of carbon chain polymers.
This was expected since the yield strength of segmented block copolymers generally displays a linear increase with the concentration of crystallites (23).
Ting Xu, a polymer scientist who led this project, believes that a better approach is to use block copolymers - long sequences or "blocks" of one type of monomer molecule bound to blocks of another type of monomer molecule.
