My question really is where does the disulfide bridge go

Post by Abightly »

I was wondering if anyone could help with designing a surrogate molecule. I am to design a Styrene Butadiene polymer with disulfide bridges. I have calculated that there are 12 monomers required with only one disulfide bridge (two sulfur atoms). My question really is where does the disulfide bridge go

Normaly the Disulfid will connect two Polymer chain or the same chain for folding each other. Its also called crosslinking.

One approach is to randomly distribute the disulfide bridge within the polymer chain. This can provide some flexibility and prevent the polymer from becoming overly rigid. In your case, if you have 12 monomers,Block Blast you could place the disulfide bridge between any two of them.

In designing a Styrene Butadiene polymer with disulfide bridges, what are the best practices for determining the optimal placement of the disulfide bridge within the polymer chain to achieve effective crosslinking and desired physical properties?

I think it is not possible to do it taylormade.

A Styrene-Butadiene copolymer typically has repeating units of styrene and butadiene in a linear or random arrangement.
