Styrene/oxazoline diblock copolymers were obtained using the hydrolyzed form of the Hawker initiator (R = OH) as an anionic initiator for the ring opening polymerization of cyclosiloxanes followed by nitroxide mediated free-radical polymerization (NMRP) of styrene. This approach allows for the preparation of new materials with a variety of topologies. The use of NMRP allows for the creation of these polymers under relatively simple conditions making preparation of materials on a commercial scale more economically feasible.

The surface molecular orientation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films is measured using a bifurcated fiber-optic probe. The use of bifurcated fiber-optic probe in the measurement of UV dichroism using reflection techniques is successful when the polarizer is placed at the probe end, which minimizes the depolarization effect of birefringence due to external factors acting upon the fiber. This is seen by the close agreement of the dichroic ratio and orientation function when using either the specular reflection accessory or the bifurcated fiber optic. While the magnitude of reflection may change using different methods, then overall orientation measured stays relatively constant.
