Fig. 1: Sulfonation-induced crosslinking reaction of SEBS.
From: Direct synthesis of ordered mesoporous materials from thermoplastic elastomers
a Schematic illustration of thermoplastic elastomer undergoing a sulfonation induced crosslinking reaction and being converted into a carbon precursor. The precursor is pyrolyzed in inert atmospheres to produce mesoporous products. b Crosslinking reaction schemes for both PEB and PS blocks of the SEBS118 precursor. c Plot of mass gain and gel fraction of the SEBS118 polymer as a function of sulfonation reaction time. d FTIR spectra of SEBS118 as a function of sulfonation time. e SAXS patterns of SEBS118 as a function of crosslinking time at 150 °C. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
