triblock copolymers and poly (ethylene oxide-b-styrene-b-butadiene-b-ethylene
oxide)(OSBO′) tetrablock terpolymers with asymmetrically sized poly (ethylene
oxide)(PEO) end blocks using triisopropylsilyloxy-1-propyllithium (TIPSOPrLi) as a protected
initiator and diphenylmethyl potassium (DPMK) as the base activator for EO polymerization.
All final products and precursors were characterized by size exclusion chromatography …
