Abstract

A series of block copolymers containing polyesteramides as hard block and polyethylene glycol (PEG) or hydroxy terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as soft block have been synthesized by different methods. These diblock copolymers are made into composite with metal salt and then assembled into ordered periodic structure at molecular level (∼5 to 50 nm). The polymers are characterized by solution viscosity, FTIR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, TGA, and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The nanopatterns of the polymers as well as of the composites are studied under Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). They can be used for fabricating biological and chemical sensor, engineering microelectronic and optoelectronic devices, light-wave communication systems, etc.
