In recent years, the study of block copolymers has been an expanding field because of their extraordinary behavior with respect to phase Separation or their compatibilizing properties at interfaces. Amphiphilic macromolecules, having an affinity for both 'water' and 'oil', have attracted particular interest and find widespread technological applications. Many of the widely used non-ionic commercially available amphiphilic block polymers typically have
either polyether (Pluronic®; PEO-A-PPO-6-PEO with poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and Brij®; alkyl ether surfactants) or polyhydroxyl(glyceroglycolipid) sugar derivatives äs the polar group.
The extraordinary properties, easy fünctionalization, and hydrophobic
nature of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) make it attractive for the formation of speciality polymers such äs block and graft copolymers.
