| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bio-based polymers prepared from plant-derived starting-materials are important in the viewpoint of carbon-fixation and renewability. In addition, the bio-based polymers give a new field of functional polymeric materials induced from the specific structures of biomolecules. However the bio-based polymers are not applized very widely because of the low thermal resistance performance. In this project, the polyamides such as NylonTM were newly synthesized one of widely-circulating biomolecules, itaconic acid, and from which we developed high-thermoresistance bioplastics. Moreover the polymers prepared by incorporation of both of L-amino acid and D-amino acid showed a higher crystallization degree, higher thermoresistance, and higher mechanical properties than those prepared by each of L-amino acid and D-amino acid.
