Abstract
Compositions comprising renewable source derived polymer oil polymerization macroinitiators and multiblock polymer compositions derived therefrom by atom transfer radical polymerization are disclosed. Hard, glossy multiblock copolymers, thermoset multiblock copolymers, thermoplastic block copolymer elastomers, and methods of making and using these types of materials are disclosed.
Claims7
A polymer made using a polymerization macroinitiator comprised of at least one halogenated polymer oil selected from the group consisting of halogenated heat-bodied oil, a halogenated blown oil, a halogenated copolymer oil, a halogenated hydrogenated heat-bodied oil, a halogenated hydrogenated blown oil, a halogenated hydrogenated copolymer oil, and combinations of any thereof, and further wherein the polymerization macroinitiator comprises at least one halogenated polymer oil obtained from a renewable source-derived oil or fat.
