Abstract
ABA-triblock copolymers bearing polymerizable methacrylate end-groups are covalently crosslinked in the droplet phase of W/O- and O/W-microemulsions. The resulting microemulsion elastomers combine the structure and the phase behavior of microemulsions with solid state properties such as elasticity or stability of shape. These new materials are characterized with the help of conductivity, dynamic-mechanical and dynamic light-scattering investigations. The influence of the chemical crosslinking process on the phase behavior and the dynamics of the underlying microemulsion is discussed.
