Preparation and Characteristics of Well-defined Polyethylene/Poly(ethylene glycol) Hybrid Materials of Different Molecular Architectures
New well-defined polyethylene/poly(ethylene glycol) AB(3)-type hybrid materials have been developed, and the materials form nanosized particles in water (water dispersion, average particle size 18 nm) as a result of the self-assembly This is the first example of nanosized particles comprised of polyolefin/polar polymer hybrid materials, which display unprecedented material properties
