PMMA-PS-PMMA triblock copolymers were prepared by the combination of an anionic mechanism with charge-transfer polymerization. Polystyrene with aromatic tertiary amino groups at both ends (PS ba ) was synthesized first by the reaction of a living polystyrene macrodianion with excess p-(dimethylamino

โฆ Synopsis
An ABA triblock copolymer of polyvinyl acetate-b-polystyrene-b-polyvinyl acetate (PVAc-PS-PVAc) was successfully synthesized with a binary system composed of polystyrene with N,N-dimethylaniline end groups (PS da ) and benzophenone to initiate the polymerization of vinyl acetate under UV irradiation. The PS da was obtained by capping the living polystyrene macrodianion with p-(dimethylamino) benzaldehyde in excess. The PVA-PS-PVA could then be obtained by hydrolysis of PVAc-PS-PVAc in the sodium ethoxide benzene solution. The intermediates and desirable copolymers were characterized by GPC, IR, and 1 H-NMR in detail.
