Crystal Transformation of Styrene-Butadiene Block-Copolymer
The crystal transformation of styrene-butadiene block copolymer, which has the attribute of shape-memory, has been studied. It is demonstrated from differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray diffraction measurements that reversible crystal transformation takes place with temperature; two distinct crystal forms exist above and below the crystal transformation temperature of similar to 45 degrees C.
