| グローイングポリマー Polymer Science and I: A Personal Account |
| アマノジャクが見た単分子膜 Against All Odds |
毛利恵美子 Emiko MOURI |
| ＜要旨＞I had spent my adolescent years rebelling. I then dared to obtain a doctoral degree without substantial achievement in the master course. I struggled with the theme “studies on nanostructure of ionic amphiphilic diblock copolymer monolayer at the air-water interface by X-ray and neutron reflectometry” and, to my pleasure, I unexpectedly found “carpet layers” in ionic polymer monolayer. |

| 相溶性高分子ブレンドのダイナミクス Dynamics in Miscible Polymer Blends |
渡辺 宏 Hiroshi WATANABE |
| ＜要旨＞Miscible polymer blends still have a heterogeneity in their component chain
concentrations in the segmental length scale because of the chain connectivity (that results in the self-concentration
of the segments of respective chains) as well as the dynamic fluctuation
over various length scales. As a result, the blend components encounter
different dynamic environments to exhibit different temperature dependencies
in their segmental relaxation rates. This type of dynamic heterogeneity
often results in a broad glass transition (sometimes seen as two separate
transitions), a broad distribution of the local (segmental) relaxation
modes, and the thermo-rheological complexity of this distribution. Furthermore,
the dynamic heterogeneity also affects the global dynamics in the miscible
blends if the component chains therein have a large dynamic asymmetry.
Thus, the superficially simple miscible blends offer a rich research field
of polymer dynamics. <Keywords> Miscible Polymer Blends / Dynamic Heterogeneity / Local and Global Relaxation / Thermo-rheological Complexity |

| 合成らせん高分子の構造決定－最近の進歩－ Recent Development in Structural Determination of Synthetic Helical Polymers |
永井寛嗣・八島栄次* Kanji NAGAI and Eiji YASHIMA* |
| ＜要旨＞Since the discovery of the double helix DNA and the α-helix in protein,
remarkable progress in developing synthetic polymers that adopt a helical
conformation has been attained. Although numerous synthetic helical polymers
have been reported, the exact structures of most synthetic helical polymers
remain obscure. Therefore, the development of a reliable method for unambiguously
determining the helical structure is important and an urgent challenge
in this area. In this article, the recent development in structural determination
of artificial helical polymers including their helical pitch and handedness
by means of X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic measurements together with
high-resolution atomic force microscopy is described. <Keywords>Helical Polymer / Helical Structure / Liquid Crystal / X-ray Diffraction / Atomic Force Microscopy |
