Abstract

The synthesis and self assembly of linear and nonlinear triblock terpolymers in selective solvents were analyzed. Advancements in synthetic polymer chemistry have allowed a wide range of ABC type triblock terpolymers to be synthesized by all living polymerization methods and their combinations. At present, the synthetic capabilities are more powerful than the theoretical and experimental studies employed to understand the properties of macromolecular systems. It is synthetically possible to prepare complex linear and nonlinear block copolymers consisting of more than three different blocks.
