摘要：

Synthesis of polysulfone-b-polystyrene (PSU-b-PS) block copolymers by a combination of condensation polymerization and free radical polymerization processes are described. First, a new macroazoinitiator (MAI) containing polysulfone (PSU) units was prepared by direct esterification of 4,4-azobis(4-cyanopentanoic acid) with α,ω-hydroxyl PSU telechelics at ambient conditions. The macroinitiator was then used in conventional free radical polymerization of styrene leading to the formation of desired block copolymers. In this process, initiating macroradicals were generated by thermal cleavage of the azo group present in the macroazoinitiator structure. The precursor polysulfone macroazoinitiator (PSU-MAI) and resulting block copolymers were characterized by spectral analysis using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, GPC, TGA, and DSC.
