  • Patent number: 11912806
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a multiblock copolymer with narrow molecular weight distribution and a preparation method therefor. According to the present disclosure, a series of multiblock copolymers with narrow molecular weight distribution are prepared by adopting a reversible addition chain transfer free radical polymerization technology in an emulsion polymerization system by controlling the feeding sequence of monomers. The molecular weight of the series of multiblock copolymers meets theoretical expectations, the content of dead polymers is low, and the mechanical properties are greatly improved compared with the traditional triblock copolymers.

  • Patent number: 9920156
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a block copolymer comprising a block with glass transition temperature higher than 100° C. and a method for preparing the same. In the method, latex of a block copolymer is prepared by taking n-butyl acrylate as a soft block, random copolymer of styrene and ?-methyl-?-methylene-?-butyrolactone as a hard block, utilizing emulsion polymerization system and reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization technology. The method utilizes an amphiphilic macromolecule reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer agent has dual function of both chain transfer agent and emulsifier, thus can achieve good control of monomer polymerization and avoid the use of traditional emulsifier; the reaction has no polymerization inhibition period, has fast reaction rate and high final conversion; colloidal particles can stably grow; product has a hard block with glass transition temperature up to 155° C.

  • Patent number: 9180486
    Abstract: A method for preparing a porous anti-reflective thin film composed of hollow polymer nano-particles is provided in the following steps: Firstly, an aqueous dispersion having mass percent of 3-7% is prepared using polymer nano-capsules. A thin film comprising polymer nano-capsules is formed by spin coating on one side or both sides of the substrate using a spin coater. The thin film comprising polymer nano-capsules is dried in vacuum at high temperature. After the core materials of the polymer nano-capsules evaporate completely, the polymer nano-capsules turn into hollow polymer nano-particles, and a porous anti-reflective thin film composed of hollow polymer nano-particles is prepared. The thickness and refractive index of the thin film are adjusted conveniently and effectively by changing the concentration of polymer nano-capsules aqueous dispersion and the hollow volume rate of the polymer nano-particles. The thin film has the advantages of high mechanical intensity and abrasion resistance.
