Geometrical Models of Amphiphilic Membrane - Polymer Complex Systems
今井 正幸
Masayuki IMAI
<要旨>分子膜−高分子複合系の構造および物性をその幾何学的特徴に注目し,エントロピー的観点からモデル化した研究を紹介する。高分子を内包した膜系では,そのエントロピーの競合により特徴的な形態転移が観察される。一方,高分子を埋め込んだ膜では,高分子鎖の配位エントロピーにより,膜の弾性的性質・メソ構造が大きな影響を受けることを示す。

ダイボンディングフィルム
Die-Bonding Film
稲田 禎一
Teiichi INADA
<要旨> Low-modulus die-bonding film is useful for stacked multi-chip packages which are suitable for compact electronic devices. In particular, to cope with the widespread application of very thin semiconductor wafers and Pb-free solders, the films are expected to have both low viscosity in the attaching process and high reliability of bonding in the high temperature reflow process. We studied the phase structure and the property of a new reaction-induced polymer alloy consisting of a low-modulus acrylic polymer and a highly heat-resistant epoxy resin. As a result, this alloy film was clarified to have both high resin flow and good reflow-crack resistance.

Akihiko MATSUYAMA
<要旨> We introduce our recent theoretical results on phase separations in mixtures of a polymer and a liquid crystal. We here focus on flexible polymer and liquid crystal mixtures and rigid-rod like polymer and liquid crystal mixtures. Phase diagrams of the temperature-concentration plane for these systems are discussed.

Shear-Induced Onion Formation of Surfactant / Triblock Copolymer Mixed Bilayer Lamellar Phase
藤井 修治
Shuji FUJII
<要旨> Shear-induced instability of bilayer membrane systems has attracted much attention. One of the most interesting shear effects is a shear-induced lamellar to onion transition. Shear-induced onion formation behavior is quite sensitive to the interaction between grafted polymer chains and surfactant bilayer membranes. Entropy based contribution to the modulus of bilayer controls the onion formation behavior.

高分子による非平衡状態の枯渇効果
Nonequilibrium Depletion Effect by Polymers
佐野 雅己
Masaki SANO
<要旨> A non-equilibrium depletion effect of colloids was discovered. A local increase of temperature drives the colloids in a polymer solution towards the hot region resulting in trapping of the colloids irrespective of their own thermophoretic properties. We report measurement of this trapping effect with increasing polymer concentration and explain the observation by hydrodynamics.

Elongational Crystallization of Polymers Realizes Ultra-High Performances
岡田 聖香・彦坂 正道
Kiyoka OKADA and Masamichi HIKOSAKA
<要旨> We succeeded in bulky elongational crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) by compressing the supercooled melt. When the elongational strain rate (ε()) becomes larger than a critical one (ε()* = 2×102 s-1), the crystallization behavior, structure and physical properties changed discontinuously. Morphology changed from well-known spherulites to a novel morphology of “nano-oriented crystals (NOCs)”, the crystallization rate increased by a factor of 106 and the lateral size of crystals decreased by a factor of 10-3 to 20-30 nm. NOC showed a high crystallinity (nearly equal to unity). The above results indicate that the polymer melt changed from isotropic to an oriented melt which accelerated nucleation and growth rates and induced NOC formation. NOC showed ultra-high performances such as high tensile strength, comparable to that of metals, high thermal resistance and so on. NOC will be useful in a wide variety of applications and will contribute to construct a sustainable society.
