✦ Synopsis

Blends of atactic and syndiotactic polystyrene have a single composition dependent glass transition temperature. This does not confirm the miscibility of both polymers, however, unambiguously because there is only a small difference of 10°C in the glass transition temperatures of both neat polymers. Diffusion measurements of syndiotactic polystyrene and deuterated atactic polystyrene using the nuclear reaction D(3He,a)p confirm at least partial miscibility of both components. The average diffusion coefficient at 190°C is 2.3 t 0.2 x cm2/s.

## Abstract **Summary:** Molecular weight (MW) effects of atactic polystyrene (aPS) on the morphologies and crystallization kinetics of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) blends have been investigated, and miscibility was confirmed for all the sPS/aPS blends. Addition of aPS(M) or aPS(L) leads to a sig

## Abstract New well‐defined syndiotactic polystyrene–atactic polystyrene (sPS‐__b__‐aPS) stereoblock polymers were synthesized in a two‐step process using a combination of “pseudo‐living” Ziegler‐Natta and atom transfer radical polymerizations. Under specific conditions, the one‐pot termination wi
