Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a block copolymer containing 1-50 first polymer segments and 1-50 second polymer segments. Each first polymer segment has an average mole fraction of monomers possessing a branch point of 0.0001 to 1, whereas each second polymer segment has an average mole fraction of monomers possessing a branch point of 0 to 0.5. The average molecular weights range from 5-2,000 kDa for the first polymer segments, which constitute 5-95% by weight of the block copolymer. The average molecular weights also range from 5-2,000 kDa for the second polymer segments, which constitute 5-95% by weight of the block copolymer. The ratio of the average mole fraction of monomers possessing a branch point of the second polymer segments to that of the first polymer segments is 0 to 0.5. An example of such a copolymer has ethylene oxide or ethylene oxide/propylene oxide as the first polymer segment and polysulfone as the second polymer segment. This block copolymer can further be blended with a bulk polymer.
