  • Publication number: 20180009955
    Abstract: A resin produced by a conventional technique has a weak nature in terms of hydrolysis resistance. For example, in a case where the resin produced by a conventional technique is used in an area with a highly humid climate such as Japan for a long period of time, deterioration of the resin due to hydrolysis becomes a concern. A resin composition is described that is optimized in the molecular structure design of the resin and in the catalyst in order to improve the hydrolysis resistance. Specifically, the resin composition contains (1) a copolymer of a vinyl compound having two or more epoxy groups, a carboxylic acid anhydride, and a transesterification reaction catalyst, or (2) a copolymer of a vinyl compound having two or more carboxylic acid anhydride groups, an epoxy, and a transesterification reaction catalyst.

  • Patent number: 9771436
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming a polymer by using a mixture containing a polymerization initiator which is an adduct of a boron compound and a first unsaturated hydrocarbon compound, and a second unsaturated hydrocarbon compound, generating a radical by oxidization of the polymerization initiator and adding the radical to the second unsaturated hydrocarbon compound, thereby forming the polymer. According to the present invention, excellent controllability of alkylboranes for radical polymerization can be maintained and the structure of a polymerization initiation terminal can be freely selected and controlled. Thus, a terminal-modified polymer having functionality imparted to the terminal group can be prepared. In addition, a polymerization initiator having a plurality of polymerization starting points can be prepared, and polymers with special structures including multibranched polymers, grafted-type (comb-type) polymers and brush-shaped polymers can be prepared.
