Mechanisms of Chain Scission under High Strain Rate Sonication in PS–PIB–PS Triblock Copolymers

Impedance mismatch block copolymers, combining rubbery polyisobutylene (PIB) with glassy polystyrene (PS) segments, show promise for the design of high-strain-rate material applications. However, the molecular-level processes of energy absorption and dissipation under high strain rates in the solution state are poorl...
