Living Anionic Polymerization of Novel Hydrocarbon Monomers
石曽根 隆
Takashi ISHIZONE
<要旨> Anionic polymerizations of a series of hydrocarbon monomers were investigated to confirm their polymerizability. Anionic polymerization of 1,4-divinylbenzene proceeded with organolithium initiator in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide in THF to give a soluble polymer with predicted molecular weight and very narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn < 1.1). A serious side reaction such as cross-linking was sufficiently suppressed by the effect of added salts. Living anionic polymerizations of 4-(1-adamantyl)styrene and 2-(1-adamantyl)-1,3-butadiene were realized to afford well-defined polymers showing high glass transition temperatures at 234 and 106 ℃, indicating the effect of introduced adamantyl group on thermal property. Exomethylene hydrocarbon monomers such as α-methyleneindane, α-methylenetetralin, and benzofulvene (α-methyleneindene) smoothly underwent the anionic polymerizations with organolithium and organopotassium initiators to form tailored polymers. The anionic polymerizations of benzofulvene gave a polymer containing 1,2-and 1,4-addition modes and could be initiated with low nucleophilic initiators such as Grignard reagent, alkoxide, and living poly(alkyl methacrylate), indicating the extremely high anionic polymerizability.

Precise Synthesis of Functional Polymers by Living Radical Polymerization of S-Vinyl Monomers
森 秀晴

<要旨> Recent significant progress of controlled radical polymerization has allowed for the synthesis of well-defined functional polymers by radical polymerization of non-conjugated monomers. We recently developed the controlled synthesis of sulfur-containing polymers by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of non-conjugated S-vinyl monomers. Differing from styrene, (meth)acrylate, and (meth)acrylamide-type monomers, the direct linkage of the sulfur atom to the vinyl group is an important feature of these monomers, because it may affect not only the polymerization behavior but also various properties of the resulting polymers. Sulfonic acid-containing polymers and thermoresponsive-ionic block copolymers were obtained by RAFT polymerization of vinyl sulfonate esters using a suitable xanthate-type chain transfer agent, followed by deprotection. RAFT polymerization of S-vinyl sulfide derivatives having aromatic rings were found to proceed in controlled fashions. Incorporation of optoelectronic groups on the halogen moiety of the polymers derived from S-vinyl sulfides with halophenyl groups afforded novel functional polymers with characteristic properties.

<要旨>Kaneka has led in the industrialization of living cationic polymerization. Kaneka started running the first industrial process using living cationic polymerization for the production of isobutylene in 1997. The technology of block copolymerization of isobutylene and styrene in living fashion has also been developed at our company. Our current products are the telechelic oligomers “EPION®” and the thermoplastic elastomers “SIBSTAR®”. This report traces the history of the development of the living polymerization technology at Kaneka.

リビングアニオン重合に基づく微細加工向け誘導自己組織化技術の開発
Directed Self Assembly Technology with the Polymers Prepared by Living-Anionic Polymerization for Fabrications of Finer Patterns
山口 佳一

<要旨> Demand for high performance chips has drastically increased due to the development of smart phones, tablet-PCs and so on. Most “State of the art” Fabs have implemented ArF immersion technology today. Double patterning, double exposure, and side-wall image transfer technology allow for the extension of ArF immersion into 2x nm half-pitch (hp) application. In order to fabricate finer patterns, it is necessary to develop new processes, such as EUV, EB, Nano imprint and Directed Self Assembly (DSA). It is possible to fabricate patterns with less than 20 nmhp by combining DSA and the other technologies. In this paper, the application of DSA for semiconductor manufacturing is introduced. 8 nmhp line and space (L/S) pattern and 15 nm hole pattern are obtained with a block copolymer system and 19 nm L/S pattern was obtained with a blending polymer system. These results have promising potentials for the fabrications of finer patterns.

ニトロキシドに基づくリビングラジカル重合の開発と実用化
Development and Industrialization of Nitroxide Based Living Polymerization
有浦 芙美
Fumi ARIURA
<要旨> Over a span of 20 years, Arkema has developed nitroxide based controlled radical polymerization (CRP) technology. The principal motivation was to develop a CRP catalyst which can be applied to industrial polymer production. After lots of studies, we discovered an alkoxyamine consisting of stable nitroxide, which is called BlocBuilder® MA. Arkema has also developed other ranges of CRP products based on BlocBuilder® MA. Nanostrength® is triblock block copolymer, PMMA-b-PBA-b-PMMA. It is known as a high performance impact modifier of epoxy resin. Flexibloc® is a living polymer which can be reactivated in the polymerization from its chain end. It allows users to synthesize CRP polymers without special treatment such as removal of residual monomer. On the other hand, Arkema’s subsidiary company, Altuglas® International had successfully proven the further possibility of CRP technology. PMMA cast sheet modified BlocBuilder® MA based elastomer showed well-organized nanostructure in the bulk. This cast sheet shows higher impact resistance, good transparency and remarkable chemical resistance.

Cutting-Edge in Precision Radical Polymerization: Advanced Reaction Control and Functional Macromolecular Chains
大内 誠・寺島 崇矢・澤本 光男
Makoto OUCHI, Takaya TERASHIMA, Mitsuo SAWAMOTO

<要旨> This short account focuses on some cutting-edge topics and develpoments in metal-mediated precision/living radical polymerization, apart from the basic reaction design such as catalyts. Specifically, following a brief review on catalyst design for element strategy and sustainability, discussion is directed to: strategies for precision sequence control in synthetic (carbon-chain based) macromolecules; tandem catalysis in copolymerization towards one-pot gradient copolymers; and core-functionalized star polymers for nano-reaction space and host-guest recognition. The article’s messages include that living radical polymerization has now led to the preparation of well-defined macromolecules within the reach of researchers beyond polymer chemistry; and that we may now achieve precise structural control and advanced functions as seen in nature, such as DNA, peptide, and enzyme.
