Abstract
Functional diblock copolymers possessing central isoprene groups were synthesized by anionic addition in a three‐stage process using styrene, isoprene, and 2‐vinylpyridine monomers. These diblock copolymers formed microphase‐separated structure in the solid state. Where the central isoprene groups are organized regularly at the domain interface of the microphase‐separated structure, this is due to the functional groups being located at the block junction position. Addition‐condensation of diblock copolymer film with sulfur monochloride formed AnBn star block copolymers by organization effects. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
