β¦ Synopsis
A series of novel triblock copolymers, consisting of a poly(ethylene glycol) center block joined by two blocks of random L-lactide/glycolide copolymers, are synthesized and their characteristics (spectral, thermal, and mechanical) determined. Polymer compositions and structures are assessed via 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR spectroscopies. DSC and stress-strain behavior studies demonstrate that these copolymers are generally more amorphous, more elastic, and tougher than are poly(L-lactides).

In this study, poly( L-lactide ) -poly (ethylene glycol) (PLLA-PEG) ABA triblock copolymers with the PEG mole fraction ranging from 27 to 57% have been synthesized, and their thermal properties were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetric thermograms of copolymers obtained from specimens di
ABA type block copolymers with poly[3(S)-isobutylmorpholine-2,5-dione] (PIBMD, A) and poly(ethylene oxide) (M n = 6 000, PEO, B) blocks, PIBMD-b-PEO-b-PIBMD, were synthesized via ringopening polymerization of 3(S)-isobutylmorpholine-2,5-dione in the presence of hydroxytelechelic poly-(ethylene oxide
