β¦ Synopsis
Al~tract--Two series of well characterized styrene-isoprene two-block copolymers have been synthesized, with weight fractions 50 and 75 per cent styrene. Their intrinsic viscosities have been studied in a number of solvents and over a wide range of molecular weights. In general the intrinsic viscosities are close to the weighted average of the corresponding homopolymers of equal molecular weight. There is discussion of the implications of these results with regard to the configuration of block copolymers in solution.
