Abstract
The emulsifier activity of styrene-butadiene block copolymers of the AB type in polymeric oil-in-oil emulsions (POO-emulsions) has been studied as a function of the molecular weight of the block copolymer in the system polybutadiene-polystyrene-benzene. The emulsifier activity increases with increasing molecular weight of the block copolymer. The total molecular weight must be above 100,000 and the degrees of polymerization of each of the individual sequences must be above approximately 500 for a block copolymer to be a good POO-emulsifier.

Phase separation in polymer solution

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase separation in solutions of high polymers in the same solvent (technically known as incompatibility) has been studied for fourteen high macromolecules (cellulose, vinyl, and acrylic derivatives) dissolved in thirteen solvents.
