Abstract

The crystal morphology of copolymers was studied via lamellar spacings from small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and enthalpies of fusion and melting temperatures from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was shown that under similar crystallization conditions, lamellar crystals of triblock BEB copolymers are thinner than those of diblock EB and triblock EBE copolymers.
