Thermoplastic copolymers contribute to the plastic waste crisis we are currently in. To solve this issue, our research focuses on SBS, which is a common plastic found in tires, shoe soles, the wheels of a shopping cart, and many others. Our goal is to see how controlling the architecture of the triblock via tuning graft density and graft length controls physical properties such as tensile strength and Young’s Modulus.
