Abstract

Alcohol-terminated telechelic polyoxetanes with semifluorinated (FOx) and alkyl ether pendant groups (ME2Ox) were synthesized and characterized. These are amphiphilic telechelics by virtue of incorporation of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic repeat units. The ME2Ox/FOx telechelic copolymers were characterized by NMR spectroscopy for composition and molecular weight through end-group analysis. Differential scanning ...
