Abstract
The interaction of Fe and Pd complexes with double bonds of the polybutadiene (PB) block in polystyrene-polybutadiene-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymer; has been studied. The incorporation of Fe(CO)(3) fragments into the PB block was found to result in an increase in its rigidity. The presence of iron or palladium complexes in the PB block affects strongly the morphology of the triblock copolymers.
