Abstract
AbstractTriblock copolymers of different alkyl methacrylates with side chains containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms were synthesized by anionic polymerization in tetrahydrofuran with diphenylmethyl sodium or naphthalene sodium (sodium dihydronaphthylide) as initiators. The polymer samples were fractionated by means of solvent/non‐solvent systems. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC), light scattering, osmometry, and elemental analysis were used to characterize the fractions. The copolymers were found to be free of homopolymers and the polydispersity of molecular weight of the fractions to be very low.
