Development of High Melting Point Polylactide
栗原 英資
Hideshi KURIHARA
<要旨> A polylactide with higher melting point than the conventional polylactide was developed. Its production depends on the formation of stable stereocomplex crystals that are received in the melt processes. Moreover, both the hydrolysis resistance and the crystallization speed in the molding process are improved. These improvements lead us to develop durable goods with the polylactide.

Development of Highly Function Bioplastics Used for Electronic Products: Polylactic Acid Compounds and Cardanol-Bonded Cellulose Resin Performing Functions for Electronic Products
位地 正年
Masatoshi IJI
<要旨> To use bioplastics in electronic equipments, we have developed advanced polylactic acid (PLA) composites by using unique additives while fully preserving high biomass-based component ratio and chemical safety. Furthermore, a bioplastic composed of non-food plant resources with stable supply was produced by bonding cellulose with cardanol, a primary component of cashew nut shells.

グローイングポリマー Polymer Science and I: A Personal Account
高分子への恋
My Love with Polymer
大内 誠
Makoto OUCHI
<要旨> In this article, let me introduce how I have fallen in “love” with the polymer world. I was assigned to Prof. Sawamoto's laboratory in Kyoto University when I was in my undergraduate senior year. Thereafter, I had been doing research on “stereospecific cationic polymerization with designed Lewis acid catalysts” to learn how to grow well-defined polymers. After getting my PhD degree, I joined Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc. to work on the development of poly(lactic acid)-based automobile resins. Through this project, I learned how to treat polymers as well as the synthetic methodologies, and realized again the importance of structural control over primary structures.
My professional polymer life changed dramatically upon my former teacher's invitation to accept an academic position in his laboratory. One of my current projects here is “sequence control” of synthetic polymers. My love story with polymer will be far from over in the quest of the ideal structure.

Mendable Polymers with a Viewpoint of Reaction Kinetics
吉江 尚子
Naoko YOSHIE
<要旨> Polymer materials always suffer environmental stress and get damaged. Mendable polymers are polymers having capability to repair cracks, scratches and other damages based on dynamic bonds. Mendability offers extension of working life and enhancement of safety performance of polymer materials. Their mending, which is induced by the reversible formation of dynamic bonds bridging the crack surfaces, requires two conditions of reaction kinetics: thermodynamic stability of the dynamic bond and molecular mobility of the free functional groups generated by the dissociation of the dynamic bonds at the damaged surfaces. In this review, the mending process of polymers is outlined from a viewpoint of these two conditions.
