| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First, Novel biobased and biodegradable polymers were synthesized from furfural produced from inedible biobased resources and their physical properties and biodegradability were evaluated.
Next, two kind of biobased-biodegradable polymers with functional groups on the end, which had complementary interaction, were synthesized. Self-assembly process formed by the complementary interaction between the functional groups on the end of polymer chain constructed supramolecular-biodegradable polymer of which higher-order structure was controlled by the interaction. Self-assembly process was evaluated by NMR spectra (DOSY spectra) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Furthermore, external stimuli deteriorated the supramolecular structure and this behavior indicates that the biodegradability of supramolecular- biodegradable polymer can be controlled by extra stimuli in environment.
