Abstract
Siloxane block copolymers containing linear dimethylsiloxane (DMS) and cyclolinear phenylsilsesquioxane blocks were synthesized. A peculiarity of the copolymers is a bimodal distribution of linear DMS blocks in the polymer chain. The results of X-ray diffraction. thermomechanical, and DSC studies of bimodal block copolymers indicate a higher degree of microphase separation of the blocks as compared to unimodal block copolymers.
