Synthesis Procedure:
Poly(styrene-b- ferrocenyldimethylsilane)) is
prepared by anionic living polymerization by
successive addition of styrene followed by
the addition of ferrocenyldimethylsilane
monomer.

Characterization:
An aliquot of the polystyrene block was
terminated before addition of hexamethyl
cyclotrisiloxane and analyzed by size
exclusion chromatography (SEC) to obtain
the molecular weight and polydispersity
index (PDI). The final block copolymer
composition was calculated from 1H-NMR
spectroscopy by comparing the peak area of
the styrene protons at 6.3-7.2 ppm with the
peak area of Si(CH3) at 0.2ppm.
Solubility:
Polymer is soluble in THF, CHCl3, Toluene
and precipitate out from ether and hexanes.

Composition from FTIR/HNMR
Thermal analysis of the samples was carried
out on a TA Q100 differential scanning
calorimeter
at
a
heating
rate
of
o
10 C/min.The midpoint of the slope change
of the heat flow plot of the second heating
scan was considered as the glass transition
temperature (Tg).
Melting and crystallization curve for the
sample
The melting temperature (Tm) was taken as
the maximum of the endothermic peak
where as the crystallization temperature
(Tc) was considered as the minimum of the
exothermic peak.
