A short, simple, versatile methodology was developed for the synthesis of poly (2, 5- benzophenone) containing coil-rod-coil triblock copolymers. After a model study, poly (2, 5- benzophenone) macroinitiators were synthesized via end-capping poly (2, 5- dichlorobenzophenone) synthesized by Ni (0)-catalyzed polymerization and functionalization of the chain ends utilizing phase transfer chlorination. Varying molecular ...
