摘要:
A nonmetallic compound having an ionic bond with a halide ion is used as a catalyst for living radical polymerization. Even if a radical initiator is not used, a monomer can be subjected to a radical polymerization to obtain a polymer having narrow molecular weight distribution. The cost of the living radical polymerization can be remarkably reduced, and it is made possible to prevent adverse effects of using a radical initiator (such as side reactions). The present invention is significantly more environmentally friendly and economically excellent than conventional living radical polymerization methods, due to advantages such as low toxicity of the catalyst, low amount of the catalyst necessary, high solubility of the catalyst, mild reaction conditions, and no coloration/no odor, etc. The catalyst can be applied to various monomers and enables synthesis of high molecular weight polymers.

Provided is a low-cost, highly active, environmentally friendly living radical polymerization catalyst which does not require a radical initiator. An organic compound having an oxidation-reduction capability is used as a catalyst. Even if a radical initiator is not used, a monomer can be subjected to a radical polymerization to obtain a polymer having narrow molecular weight distribution. The cost of the living radical polymerization can be remarkably reduced. It is made possible to prevent adverse effects of using a radical initiator. The present invention is significantly more environmentally friendly and economically excellent than conventional living radical polymerization methods, due to advantages of the catalyst such as low toxicity of the catalyst, low amount of the catalyst necessary, high solubility of the catalyst, mild reaction conditions, and no coloration/no odor (which do not require a post-treatment for a molded article), etc.
摘要:
A living radical polymerization initiator represented by the following general formula (1), which uses a living radical polymerization initiator that contains, as initiating groups for reactions, two halogen atoms different from each other in reactivity, and which enables different living radical polymerization reactions to proceed with respect to the respective initiating groups: herein, R 1 represents an organic group which is linkable with two or more other organic groups, and which is selected from an aliphatic group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aromatic group, a carbonyl group, a sulfonyl group and an organic group obtained by combining two or more of these groups, R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 5 are a hydrogen atom or an organic group selected from an aliphatic group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aromatic group, a carbonyl group, a carboxyl group and a sulfonyl group, X and Y are a halogen atom, m and n are an integer of 1 or more, and the X and Y are in a state in which they are different from each other in reactivity with a monomer.

An object of the present invention is to provide a technology of dispersing cellulose readily in a hydrophobic substance such as a resin by treating cellulose being a hydrophilic substance in a system that contains water as a main medium with a polymer dispersant, which has been developed for dispersing a fine and hydrophobic substance such as a pigment, in a simple and efficient manner without conducting surface modification of nanocellulose or other treatments. The object is solved by a process for producing a readily dispersible cellulose composition, the process including dissolving a polymer dispersant having a block copolymer structure having a resin-affinitive segment A and a cellulose-adsorptive segment B in a hydrophilic organic solvent solution, adding a surface active agent to the resultant solution, thereafter adding water to the resultant mixture to prepare an aqueous dispersion treatment agent containing the polymer dispersant, and adding the obtained aqueous dispersion treatment agent to cellulose in a water-containing state or in a dry state, thereby obtaining a readily dispersible cellulose composition. The object is also solved by a process for producing an aqueous dispersion treatment agent for use in the process for producing a readily dispersible cellulose composition, the readily dispersible cellulose composition, and a cellulose-dispersed resin composition using the readily dispersible cellulose composition.

Disclosed are a resin-treated pigment characterized in that the resin-treated pigment comprises a pigment and a polymer of an unsaturated bond-containing monomer, a weight ratio of the pigment to the polymer (pigment:polymer) is from 50 to 95 to from 5 to 50, and the polymer is a block copolymer comprising from 5 to 70 mass% of an addition-polymerizable monomer having a UV-absorbing group; a production process of the resin-treated pigment; and a pigment dispersion using the resin-treated pigment.
摘要:
Disclosed is a pigment dispersion containing at least a pigment, a liquid medium and a high-molecular dispersant. The high-molecular dispersant is a block polymer represented by A-B or A-B-C, in which A, B and C each represent a polymer block and the A and C blocks may be the same or different. The block polymer and its production process are also disclosed. The high-molecular dispersant is free of problems of a smell, coloration, a heavy metal and cost, and its use can provide a pigment dispersion excellent in the dispersion stability of a pigment.
