二次元自己集合化能をもつ三脚型トリプチセンの高分子末端ユニットとしての効果 Terminal-Group Effect of a Triptycene Derivative that has a Dominant Influence on the Physical Properties of a Polymer |
石割 文崇・福島 孝典 Fumitaka ISHIWARI, Takanori FUKUSHIMA |
<要旨> A surprising terminal-group effect on the assembly and rheological properties of PDMS is described. We have recently demonstrated that 1,8,13-trisubstituted and 1,8-disubstituted triptycenes show remarkable self-assembly behavior resulting in a highly ordered “2D+1D” structure based on nested hexagonal packing of the three blades of triptycene. We found that when a 1,8-disubstituted triptycene is attached to the termini of a liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, Mn = 18-24 kDa), a highly viscous solid polymer with birefringence is obtained. Surprisingly, the telechelic PDMS, despite a low content of the triptycene termini (6 wt%) and a large distribution of Mw/Mn (ca. 2), can form a well-ordered “2D+1D” structure, where layers of the PDMS domains that are formed between 2D triptycene arrays stack into a 1D multilayer structure with a layer spacing of 18-20 nm. Consequently, the complex viscosity of the telechelic PDMS was dramatically enhanced. Notably, PDMS functionalized with 1,4-disubstituted triptycenes, hardly form such an ordered structure.

ラベル法で解明する高分子末端のダイナミクス Dynamics of the Polymer Chain End |
三輪 洋平・沓水 祥一 Yohei MIWA, Shoichi KUTSUMIZU |
<要旨> The chain end is present as unique local structure in polymers; the chain end often affects the physical properties of polymeric materials. On the other hand, the quantitative physical property of the chain end is still unclear. Here, the molecular motion at the chain end of polystyrene (PS) has been studied by the combination of three kinds of labeling techniques: spin-, dielectric-, and deuterium-labeling. The segmental mobility at chain end above the glass transition temperature (Tg) was determined by electron spin resonance measurement with the spin-labeling and dielectric spectroscopy with dielectric-labeling. The segmental mobility at the chain end is roughly double compared to that at the midchain sites at Tg+50 K. On the other hand, the local Tgs at the regions around the chain end and midchain site determined by the spin-labeling and FT-IR with deuterium-labeling techniques were comparable with each other. This result reveals that the chain ends move cooperatively with numerous neigboring other segments around the Tg. Keywords: Chain End / Labeling / Electron Spin Resonance / Dielectric Spectroscopy / FT-IR / Glass Transition Temperature / Segmental Mobility |

末端変性ポリマーを用いたゴム材料中のシリカ分散性制御 Control of Silica Dispersibility Using End-Modified Polymer |
曽根 卓男 Takuo SONE |
<要旨> The reduction of rolling resistance of tires has become a more important aspect of the tire development. Rolling resistance is primarily related to the hysteresis loss in the tire tread compounds and silica has been widely used in them. The dispersibility of silica is considered to affect hysteresis loss. Some modified styrene butadiene rubbers (SBRs) with functional groups at the polymer chain ends have been prepared by living anionic polymerization. They showed significant reduction in the hysteresis loss of rubber compounds by achieving interaction with silica. To investigate the hierarchical structure of the silica filler in rubber compounds with modified SBR small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used. The distribution of particle size of silica aggregates can be obtained by the analysis of the scattering profile, and the result was that the radius of the silica aggregate is smaller and the distribution of particle size is narrower in modified SBR as compared to non-modified SBR. Keywords: End-Modified SBR / Living Polymerization / Rubber Compound / Silica Dispersion / SPring-8 / Reverse Monte Carlo Method |

環状高分子合成の進展と機能材料への可能性 Progress of Cyclic Polymer Synthesis and Potentials to Functional Materials |
山本 拓矢 Takuya YAMAMOTO |
<要旨> The basic properties of cyclic polymers were comprehensively studied, and the synthesis of not only monocyclic but also multicyclic homopolymers and copolymers has been established. Comprehensive and rigorous investigations on topology effects are currently in progress. In particular, it is worth noting that more and more studies are focused on topology effects on various self-assembled states, i.e., micelles, gels, LB films, etc. These studies indicate that the topology effects derived from the difference between linear and cyclic can be amplified by self-assembly. It was also reported that reversible linear–cyclic topological conversion was succeeded, and special characteristics were found in π-conjugated cyclic polymers. Keywords: Cyclic Polymer / Self-Assembly / Amphiphile / Reversible Topological Conversion / π-Conjugated Polymer |
