| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we aimed to synthesize various biomass plastics having a cyclic structure in the main chain, control the polymer structure all at once from the chemical structure to the solid-state structure, and achieve high performance from the structural point of view. For various biomass plastics differing in cyclic structure and alkylene chain length, high molecular weight polymers capable of forming a free-standing film were synthesized, their thermal properties were evaluated, and detailed solid-state structure analysis was carried out using synchrotron X-rays. Furthermore, the equilibrium melting point, i.e., the maximum melting point that can be theoretically expected, was determined for various biomass plastics and used as a scale for solid-state structure control and high performance.
