Notes:
Star-shaped block copolymers were used as heat activated adhesives in glass to glass joints. The branches consisted in either AB or ABA poly(styrene-b-isoprene) block copolymers. Tensile shear strengths of simple lap joints were measured for star block copolymers differing in the length or in the number of branches. Values higher than those of the corresponding linear species were obtained. These results were related to the presence of chemical junction points created by coupling the linear copolymers.
