Summary

The solid state properties of trimethylcellulose — poly (oxytetramethylene) two and star block copolymers have been investigated by IR, WAXS, polarization microscopy, DSC, and mechanic dynamical measurements. The results are in agreement with a four phase morphology consisting of an amorphous and a crystalline phase of both trimethylcellulose and poly(oxytetramethylene).

The solution properties of trimethylcellulose — poly(oxytetramethylene) block copolymers (TMC-POTM block copolymers) are governed mainly by the incompatibility of the two distinct blocks 1). In the following it is demonstrated that the incompatibility between the TMC and the POTM blocks is even more pronounced in the solid state than in solution.
