Article Synopsis
- - The research developed a new type of olefin triblock copolymer using an innovative process that combines anionic and coordinative chain transfer polymerization to create polymers made of polystyrene (PS), ethylene butadiene rubber (EBR), and crystalline polyethylene (PE).
- - The preparation involved transmetalating PS chains to create macro chain transfer agents, allowing for the effective copolymerization of ethylene and butadiene, followed by further extension with pure ethylene to form well-defined triblock structures.
- - The resulting materials exhibit a balance of good mechanical and rheological properties, showing low viscosity and high performance as thermoplastic elastomers, particularly effective at temperatures above 150 °C.

Oocyte cryopreservation has transformed assisted reproductive technology, providing enhanced flexibility and efficacy in assisted reproductive technology treatments. The shift from traditional slow freezing to vitrification has markedly improved survival rates by preventing ice crystal formation, which can damage cellular structures. Despite these advances, rapid warming of vitrified oocytes remains a challenge due to the unique sensitivity of oocytes to thermal and osmotic stress, which can compromise spindle integrity and developmental competence.
