In recent years, physically associating triblock copolymer gels which are molecular networks composed of a microphase copolymer swollen to a large extent by a low volatile midblock-selective solvent. Since the formation of the micelles is a thermoreversible process, these gels have a unique network behavior providing high elasticity. Although triblock copolymer gels are well-known, there has been a limited study on the properties of nanocomposite triblock copolymer gels. It is the aim of this work to ascertain the effect of network-forming nanoscale materials such as multiwalled carbon nanotube on the property development of triblock copolymer gels prepared from microphase-ordered poly(styrene-b-( ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (SEBS) triblock copolymer dissolved in hydrocarbon oil. Linear viscoelastic properties of nanocomposite triblock copolymer gels were investigated as a function of temperature and frequency as well as ellectrical properties. |
