简介:由控制厘米/苯乙烯和聚合时间的feed比率,一系列hyperbranchedcopolystyrenes(HBCPS)与可比较的平均重量的分子的重量被综合(Mw)但是通过原子转移基的分叉的不同的度(DB)有CuBr/2,2-bipyridyl的自我压缩的乙烯基copolymerization(ATR-SCVCP)作为催化剂。产生HBCPS样品被用来在他们的玻璃转变行为上调查分叉的建筑学的效果。与增加的DB,玻璃转变温度(T直接存储器存取和DSC测量的HBCPS样品的g)两个都减少了。他们的纺纱格子松驰时间(1质子的HT1r)与增加DB显示了一样的落之趋势。而且,在Tgs和DB被所有原子很好建立分子的动力学(MD)模拟。MD坚定的Tgs比相应的试验性的很少高。然而,TgDB上的s在对试验性的结果的好同意,即,Tg与增加DB在实验和模拟两个都减少。
