An Introduction to the Synthesis of Block- and Graft Copolymers

  • Chapter
Recent Advances in Polymer Blends, Grafts, and Blocks

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 4))

Abstract

This chapter concerns the synthesis of sequential copolymers, i.e., copolymers comprising at least two reasonably long sequences of uniform repeat units. Sequential copolymers are generally subdivided into block and graft copolymers. Random, statistical and alternating copolymers will not be considered in this chapter.

Invited paper. This chapter was not presented in the Symposium.
