Abstract
The synthesis of model miktoarm stars of the A2B, A3B, (AB)2(BA)2 and ABC (A:polyisoprene, B: polystyrene C: poly (methyl methacrylate)) was achieved by using anionic polymerization techniques and controlled chlorosilane chemistry. The microphase separation was studied by TEM, SAXS and image simulation. In the case of A2B and A3B miktoarm star copolymers, the morphology results are in agreement with the newly and after the experimental results developed theory of Milner. One of the symmetric in composition inverse block copolymers ((AB)2(BA)2) shows the OBDD morphology due to the special spatial arrangements of the arms. The first morphological results of ABC miktoarm star terpolymer show interesting future.
