Synthesis and characterization of perfectly alternating segmented copolymers comprised of poly(dimethylsiloxane)s and engineering thermoplastics
Novel perfectly alternating segmented copolymers containing imide junction points were synthesized via terminal amine-anhydride coupling from poly(dimethylsiloxane)s and either poly(arylene ether)s or polyimides. The copolymers were characterized in solution and the solid state. The -(-A-B-)-n …

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(arylene ether sulfone)s with Novel Structures and Architectures
Poly(arylene ether sulfone)s with dendritic terminal groups were synthesized by step-growth polymerization of two difunctional monomers in the presence of preformed dendritic end-cappers. These polymers were characterized by NMR, SEC, DSC, TGA, melt rheology and tensile tests. The melt viscosities …
