Living anionic polymerization of a block copolymer and the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces based on the method of phase separation

In this work, polystyrene-block-polymethyl methacrylate (PS-b-PMMA) block copolymers were synthesized by sequential living anionic polymerization with n-butyl lithium (n-BuLi) as the initiator, and ...

Preparation of 20-nm poly(styrene derivative) particles via polymerization with nonionic surfactant at the phase-inversion temperature

The preparation of nanometer-sized polymer particles with a narrow size distribution, which can be utilized in nanoscale devices, is desirable. Polymer particles with an average diameter <10 nm and ...
