| Summary: | 7. Conclusions and outlook A set of questions of current interest in macromolecular chemistry was tackled and resolved in this thesis. The research project included both polymer synthesis and advanced characterization of produced polymeric materials using various experimental techniques. Particular interest was paid to block copolymers including diblock ionomers, "block- random" copolymers and block copolymers with nonlinear architecture such as comb-like copolymers and molecular brushes. The main results achieved in the present thesis are (l) structure-property relationship in diblock ionomers (2) understanding the microphase separation process in A-á-(A-co.B) b|ock copolymers and the effect of polydispersity on microdomain size (3) development of original methods for synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers with comb-like architecture (4) the effect of side chain length on the morphological transitions in comb-like copolymers in dilute solutions. Several future directions in research can be envisaged based on the results obtained in the present thesis. Elegant work can be done on microphase separation of polydisperse block copolymers, namely an effort to establish a new phase diagram taking into account morphological transitions and changes of size of microphase separated domains. Size is crucial in... |
