  • Patent number: 11332551
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a polymer by performing an anionic polymerization reaction by a flow-type reaction, including: introducing a liquid A containing an anionic polymerizable monomer, a liquid B containing an anionic polymerization initiator, and a polymerization terminator into different flow paths respectively and causing the liquids to flow in the respective flow paths; causing the liquid A and the liquid B to join together by using a multilayered cylindrical mixer; subjecting the anionic polymerizable monomer to anionic polymerization while a solution formed by the joining is flowing to downstream in the reaction flow path; and causing a polymerization reaction solution flowing in a reaction flow path and the polymerization terminator to join together such that the polymerization reaction is terminated; and a flow-type reaction system suitable for performing the manufacturing method.

  • Patent number: 11242414
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a polymer by a flow-type reaction. The method includes introducing a liquid A of an anionic polymerizable monomer, a liquid B of an anionic polymerization initiator, and a polymerization terminator into different flow paths, allowing the liquids to flow in the flow paths, allowing the liquid A and the liquid B to join together, subjecting the monomer to anionic polymerization while the liquids having joined together are flowing to downstream in a reaction flow path, and allowing a solution, which is obtained by the polymerization reaction and flows in the reaction flow path, and the polymerization terminator to join together so as to terminate the polymerization reaction and to obtain a polymer having a number-average molecular weight of 5,000 to 200,000. A static mixer is disposed in the reaction flow path, and a polymer having a number-average molecular weight equal to or greater than 2,000 is introduced into an inlet port of the mixer.

  • Patent number: 10199280
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a method for detecting a bonding failure part of a compound semiconductor chip cut from a compound semiconductor wafer in which a first transparent substrate composed of a compound semiconductor having a light-emitting layer is bonded with a second transparent substrate composed of a compound semiconductor, including irradiating the compound semiconductor chip with a coaxial vertical light, and identifying a color of a reflected-light from the bonding failure part of the compound semiconductor chip to detect the bonding failure part. As a result, it is possible, to provide a method for detecting a bonding failure part which can precisely detect a bonding failure part on a bonding interface of a compound semiconductor chip cut from a compound semiconductor wafer in which two transparent substrates composed of a compound semiconductor are directly bonded with each other.
