✦ Synopsis
Al~tract--Chain extension of styrene-isoprene hydroxyl-terminated prepolymers was used to obtain polymers having different sequences and lengths of styrene, isoprene, ethylene oxide and 1,3,6-trioxacyclooctane blocks. The structures and the chemical and composition homogeneities of the copolymers were determined by ~H-NMR and i.r. spectra, GPC analyses (with u.v. and RI detectors), DSC and by data on swelling and surface tension behaviour.
