Abstract: Disclosed is an additive for imparting antimicrobial properties to a resin. The additive comprises a string polymer, at least one terminal of which has a positive charge, wherein the string polymer is a polymer containing structural units derived from a cationic polymerization initiator and a monomer containing a carbon-carbon double bond. By using this additive, it becomes possible to obtain an antibacterial resin molded body which can be prepared simply and inexpensively and which has high stability and safety.

Abstract: There is provided a method for introducing a temperature-sensitive probe comprising a copolymer, which comprises a thermoresponsive unit and a fluorescent unit, into a cell, and the method using the copolymer further comprising a cationic unit as the temperature-sensitive probe, and the method comprising the step of mixing the copolymer with the cell in a solvent. The copolymer can be preferably used as a fluorescence temperature sensor which measures intracellular temperature since the copolymer has a cationic group and thus enters into a cell without using a special method.

Abstract: Disclosed is a compound having a chemical structure (Xf? is a counter anion selected from the group consisting of Cl?, NO3?, Br?, I?, CH3SO3? and OH?) of the following general formula (I). By using this compound as a polymerization initiator, the amount of the aggregation formed in emulsion polymerization can be reduced.

Abstract: An intracellular delivery vehicle of which surface is covered by a positive charge, an intracellular delivery complex in which a component or compound desired is loaded in the intracellular delivery vehicle, a temperature-sensitive probe comprising the intracellular delivery complex, and a method for measuring the intracellular temperature by the temperature-sensitive probe are disclosed. The intracellular delivery vehicle is useful on account of its capability of easily delivering the component or compound desired inside the cell without inhibiting cell proliferation.
