<要旨> 形状記憶合金と形状記憶ポリマーでは変形した形状が加熱で元の形状に戻る性質は類似しているが、高温と低温における両材料の剛性と強度特性は全く逆である。性質の異なる材料からなる複合材料を開発すると単体の材料では得られない新しい高機能を利用することができる。変態温度の異なる形状記憶合金と形状記憶ポリマーからなる形状記憶複合材料の開発を展望する。

形態安定加工「アポロコット」
Shape Stabilizing Finish “APOLLOCOT”
博田 浩明
Hiroaki HAKATA
<要旨> Form stability processing of clothes materials is processing to give high W&W characteristics to clothes such as cotton (W&W is the index that indicates whether we can wear the cloth immediately after washing). We succeeded in the development of a 100-percent-cotton shirt material “APOLLOCOT” that has a W&W 4.0 grade level. This product has a favorable reception because we realize that we can wear it ironing-free after washing. This report introduces the resin process and the liquid ammonia process that are the key technology of “APOLLOCOT”.

超弾性合金(形状記憶合金)の有機化合物による代替
Possibility for Replacing Superelastic Alloys (Shape-Memory Alloys) with Organic Compounds
髙見澤 聡
Satoshi TAKAMIZAWA
<要旨> The expected thermal shape recovery nature in organosuperelastic materials is described. Shape memory effect in organosuperelastic materials can cover the vacunt recovery-force range between those of conventional shape memory polymers (SMPs) and shape memory alloys (SMAs). The organosuperelasticity can provide a novel strategy for producing alternative sort of shape-memory materials to SMPs and SMAs.

温度で形態変化する感温性ナノ粒子
Temperature-Induced Transformable Nanoparticles
菊池 明彦・麻生 隆彬
Akihiko KIKUCHI, Taka-Aki ASOH
<要旨> We describe the preparation of thermoresponsive core-corona nanoparticles with well-defined thermoresponsive corona structures. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) with a polydispersity index of as much as 1.15 was prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization, followed by end group functionalization to introduce vinyl groups, thus obtaining a PNIPAAm macromonomer. The latter macromonomer was then polymerized with styrene in an aqueous organic solvent to form core-corona type nanoparticles. Both PNIPAAm chain lengths as well as the feed content led to nanoparticle diameter changes, that were a decrease with increasing PNIPAAm chain lengths and an increasing amount of feed PNIPAAm content, respectively, so that the diameter of nanoparticles were in a range of 180-1000 nm with a narrow size distribution. By using poly(butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) as the core forming materials, the shape of nanoparticles can be altered from sphere to rod by uniaxial extention. Rod shaped nanoparticles have returned their original spherical shapes by incubating above the PBMA’s Tg values. Such characteristics may be useful for regulated interaction of nanoparticles with cells.

<要旨> “Research activity is like treasure hunting”, is a quote from my supervisor that was the starting point of my research career. Development of new materials for practical applications is really a tough challenge. This is a short story of how I gained scientific knowledge and learned new research techniques, and an account of what I want to become in the future.

二酸化炭素をコモノマーとする高分子合成
Polymer Synthesis using CO2 as a Co-monomer
野崎 京子・中野 遼
Kyoko NOZAKI, Ryo NAKANO
<要旨> Carbon dioxide has attracted broad interest as a C1 feedstock, due to its abundance in nature, low price, low-toxicity, and renewability. In polymer synthesis, the use of carbon dioxide as a building block of polymeric materials has been investigated since the early 70s. To exploit the prospective nature of carbon dioxide as a C1 resource, availability of a cheap and mass-produced co-monomer is essential for further industrial application. We review recent efforts to utilize carbon dioxide as a co-monomer for polymerization. Along with a few industrialized copolymers such as urea resins and polycarbonates, various copolymers made from carbon dioxide are summarized.
