Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The macromolecules with bottlebrush-like architecture are called bottlebrush polymers (BBP). Previous studies reported that BBP spontaneously concentrate itself on the surface of its composite materials. This property of BBP is termed as surface segregation. In this research, we established synthesis of BBP from cellulose derivatives. Cellulose derivatives are chemically modified celluloses which is main component of wood. Furthermore, we developed a highly functionalization of biomass-plastic materials by compounding functionalized BBP with biomass-plastics and thus undergoing the surface segregation of BBP.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
生物資源を原料とするプラスチックであるバイオマスプラスチックは、近年の環境問題解決の鍵を握る素材として注目を集めている。しかしながら、従来の石油プラスチックと比べると化学構造が限られるため、多様な機能発現は困難である。本研究成果は、ボトルブラシポリマーの表面濃縮特性を利用した様々な高機能バイオマスプラスチック材料の創出につながり、環境に優しい社会の実現に寄与することが期待される。
