Magnetic properties of barium ferrite dispersed within polystyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers.

Magnetic properties of nanocomposite materials obtained by dispersing barium ferrite nanoparticles within polystyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, in the temperature range, 300 to 500 K are reported. The temperature dependence of the magnetization at saturation, averaged uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and coercive field of thick films are analyzed. A "matrix effect" was noticed w...

Mechanical, Electrical and Electro-Mechanical Properties of Thermoplastic Elastomer Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene/Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Composites

Composites of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymer with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were processed by solution casting in order to investigate the influence of filler content, the different ratio of styrene/butadiene in the copolymer and the architecture of the SBS matrix on the electrical, mechanical and electro-mechanical properties of the composites. It was found that fille...

Styrene-butadiene-styrene Tri-block Copolymers Modified with Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes

Rapid Modular Synthesis and Processing of Thiol−Ene Functionalized Styrene−Butadiene Block Copolymers

Diblock and triblock copolymers of poly(styrene)-block-poly(1,2-butadiene) (PS/PB) and PS/PB/PS were modified by photochemical thiol−ene chemistry to process selected functional nanopatterned polymers, with reaction completion in 1 h. PB molecular weight (MW) and thiol−ene ratios were systematically varied based on a model monomer, boc-cysteamine, to determine the efficiency of the reaction. Th...
