Abstract:

Segmented triblock copolymers consisting of highly flexible polydisperse segments and molecularly uniform segments of well defined architecture capable of either the formation of a mesophase, chainfolded crystallites or double-helical metal complexes have been synthesized: the bulk superstructure as well as the physical and material properties correlated with the primary structure: block copolymers with liquid crystalline segments formed microphase separated systems, and the phase behavior depended on the constitutional composition. Multiblock copolymers with symmetrically chain-folded polyurethane hard segments and associative groups in the chain fold led to specially shaped lamellar superstructures. Block copolymers with bipyridine containing segments gave tetracoordinated and double helical copper(I) complexes which segrerated resulting in supramolecular polymer systems
