Use of commercial block copolymers as soot dispersants in engine oil
The micellar self-assembly behaviour of a near-monodisperse linear poly(styrene-b-hydrogenated isoprene) (PS-PEP) diblock copolymer is examined in n-alkanes. Direct dissolution leads to formation of polydisperse colloidal aggregates that are kinetically frozen artefacts of the solid-state morphology...
