NANO-STRUCTURED POLYMER COMPOSITES AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING SAME

摘要

A process for preparing a polymer composite includes reacting (a) a multi-functional monomer and (b) a block copolymer comprising (i) a first block and (ii) a second block that includes a functional group capable of reacting with the multi-functional monomer, to form a crosslinked, nano-structured, bicontinuous composite. The composite includes a continuous matrix phase with nanometer-sized domains that include the second block of the block copolymer and a second continuous phase that include the first block of the block copolymer.
