Block copolymers are promising to solve above problems because of a well-defined molecular structure [2], Many studies have shown that the mechanical and rheological properties of various blends are remarkably improved by adopting block copolymers [3-9].
In recent years, PLA-based amphiphilic block copolymers are the most attractive nanocarriers (e.g., nanoparticles, micelles, and polymersomes) for drugs [9-13].
As structure is different in PE/F 108 (ABA block copolymer with two chains of EO units) and Hypermer LP1 (homopolymer) so they depicted the different density and n blobs.
Some examples of thermoplastic materials that can be used are poly THF/nylon 11 block copolymers and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, polyether sulfones, or polyimides.

"Block copolymers readily self-assemble into well-defined arrays of nanostructures over macroscopic distances," she said.
The results of this work are published in a paper "Measuring Local Optical Properties: Near-Field Polarimetry of Photonic Block Copolymer Morphology," by M.
Nonetheless, chemists can force them together so the substances assemble themselves into a so-called block copolymer, in which the two materials are inextricably linked (SN: 9/3/88, p.
Key statement: The present invention relates to a block copolymer comprising at least one PA block and at least one PB block.
