“WELL-DEFINED POLYETHYLENES AND POLYETHYLENE-BASED BLOCK COPOLYMERS BY ANIONIC POLYMERIZATION AND POLYHOMOLOGATION “
Abstract:
Access to model (high degree of structural, molecular weight and compositional homogeneity) polyethylenes (PEs) and PE-based block copolymers is necessary in order to elucidate the structure-properties relationships, which are very important for polymer performance. The synthesis of such polymers requires a truly living process. These approaches usually require high vacuum techniques, which are demanding, time consuming and leads to a small quantities of products. Nevertheless, this is a small price to pay given the tremendous potential of model macromolecules for selecting the appropriate structures needed for specific applications…
