Abstract

The phase behavior of statistical copolymers composed of (4-tert-butylstyrene) (B) and (4-tert-butoxystyrene) (O), abbreviated as s-BO, with polyisoprene (I) was investigated by optical microscopic (OM) observation and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. It has been known that B/I blend shows lower critical solution temperature (LCST) type phase diagram, while O/I blend has upper critical solution temperature (UCST) type one. Several blends of s-BOs having mol fraction of B, m_B, comparable to 0.50, with I showed both UCST and LCST type phase diagram. Furthermore, UCST type phase behavior was observed for blends having small m_B, while LCST type one was for that of large mB at all used temperatures. Hence, the phase behavior of s-BO/I blend can be understood as a result of the competition of two interactions having opposite temperature dependence.
