ABA triblock copolymer-based model networks in the bulk: Effect of the number of arms on microphase behavior
(2005)The microphase separation behavior in the strong segregation limit of model networks based on cross-linked ABA triblock copolymers in the bulk was investigated by calculating analytically the Gibbs free energies of the ...

Cationic amphiphilic model networks based on symmetrical ABCBA pentablock terpolymers: Synthesis, characterization, and modelling
(2007)Eight isomeric networks based on equimolar terpolymers were synthesized using group transfer polymerization (GTP) and were characterized in terms of their swelling properties. Two hydrophilic monomers, the nonionic methoxy ...

Article
Multi-functional conetworks based on cross-linked star polymers
(2010)Three series of conetworks based on cross-linked star polymers of different architectures were prepared using group transfer polymerization. The first series of conetworks were amphiphilic, based on the hydrophobic monomer ...
