Effect of alkyl side chain length on microscopic structures and mechanical properties of ionically-functionalized block polymer-based thermoplastic elastomers

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Ionically-functionalized block polymer-based thermoplastic elastomers with shorter alkyl chains formed larger microscopic ionic aggregates due to reduced steric hindrance, enhancing tensile strength and toughness compared to those with longer ones.
