摘要：
The transformation from A(1)B diblock copolymer to A(1)BA(2) triblock copolymers varying in molecular asymmetry is investigated as the A(2) end block is progressively grown via chemical synthesis. Dynamic rheological measurements show that the order-disorder transition (ODT) temperatures of two copolymer series differing in composition and molecular weight decrease when the A(2) block is short relative to the A(1) block, and then increase as the length of the A(2) block is increased further. The resultant ODT minimum, predicted by mean-field theory, is attributed to mixing between long B and short A(2) blocks.
