Abstract
In this master thesis, the rheological behavior of linear metallo-supramolecular polymers based on hydrogenated terpyridine-terminated polybutadiene polymer chains with different metal salts have been studied. In most of the studies which have been done so far in the field of metallo-supramolecular polymers the effect of aggregation by the metal-ligand associations have been neglected. In the selected system composed of a non-polar polymer and a polar end groups of terpyridine are able to phase separate and aggregation between end-groups can be predicted. Therefore, it is important to find out how this micro-phase separation can affect the relaxation mechanism of the metallo-supramolecular polymer. The viscoelastic properties of the linear metallo-supramolecular samples by rheological characterization is obtained meanwhile different parameters effect (i.e. nature of metal ions and their amount, aggregation, etc.) on viscoelastic properties and relaxation of the supramolecular has been studied.
