Abstract: Triblock copolymers with polya-methylstyrene as hard blocks and with poly-butadiene and hydrogenated polybutadiene as soft blocks were synthesized,and their polymerization processes, structures and properties were studied. Although these two kinds of triblock copolymers exhibited the similar Tgs (both about-25℃) of their soft blocks, the tensile strength and elongation of break, resilience and Tg of the hard blocks of PaMS-HPBD-PaMSall are lower evidently than those of PaMS-PBD-PaMS. The reason is that the solubility parameter of HPBDis higher than that of PBD,so the solubility of HPBDin PaMSis higher than that of PBD. The dynamical properties" of PaMS-PBD-PaMSare better than those of ABCtriblock copolymer of PaMS-PBD-PPVL, because it is incompatible between crystalline PPVL and radom PaMS blocks.
