Abstract: Network made of single polymer fails to generate the expected outcome which is essential to the particular application [1-2]. With the expectation of getting enhanced properties, several hybrid networks composed of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) and poly(3-alkylthiophene) have been prepared by varying the alkyl chain length from butyl to dodecyl group. These hybrid networks have been investigated by various techniques, such as UV-vis absorption, XRD, AFM. To explore the viscoelastic and microstructural properties, hybrid networks have been thoroughly checked by small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) and large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) and comparative studies have performed to show the enhanced properties with respect to the respective polymer network. Overall, this lecture will provide critical insights of aggregation behavior of P3AT chains into sPS-P3AT hybrid networks and the influence of length of side chains on properties of networks [3-4]. These findings may offer valuable information for the development of hybrid polymer networks for advanced applications.
