摘要:
近年のめざましい精密重合系の開発により、さまざまな構造や機能をもつた特殊構造ポリマーの合成が実現されるようになった。本稿では、星型および環状構造を有する特殊構造ポリマーに絞り,精密重合法を駆使した合成法を概説する。また、特殊構造ポリマーの合成研究が高分子分野にいかに貢献できるか簡単に触れる。%Recent progress in precision polymerization has enabled us to synthesize a wide variety of macromolecular architectures, including star, comb, cyclic, and multicyclic polymers, with well-defined structures and narrow dispersity. Such macromolecular architectures are of interest from the view point of controlling the physical properties and functions of the polymers without chainging the chemical composition and molecular weight. Particular attention is now focusing on block copolymers with complex architectures to study their interesting self-assembly behaviors. This paper gives an overview of the synthetic approaches to these macromolecular architectures, such as star-shaped and cyclic homo/block polymers. In addition, usefullness of such macromolecular architectures in functional polymer design will also be mentioned.
