Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a method for efficiently producing an α-alkylstyrene α-chloroacrylate copolymer having a high monomer conversion rate. According to the present disclosure, the method for producing a copolymer containing 30 mol % to 70 mol % of an α-alkylstyrene unit and 30 mol % to 70 mol % of an α-chloroacrylate unit includes a step of performing solution polymerization of a monomer composition containing α-alkylstyrene and α-chloroacrylate, and uses ketone as a polymerization solvent for the solution polymerization.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a copolymer containing 30 mol % to 70 mol % of an α-alkylstyrene unit and 30 mol % to 70 mol % of an α-chloroacrylate unit, the method for producing a copolymer includes: a step of performing solution polymerization of a monomer composition containing α-alkylstyrene and α-chloroacrylate, wherein ketone is used as a polymerization solvent for the solution polymerization. 2. The method for producing a copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein cycloketone is used as the polymerization solvent. 3. The method for producing a copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein cyclopentanone or cyclohexanone is used as the polymerization solvent. 4. The method for producing a copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein α-methylstyrene is used as α-alkylstyrene, and methyl α-chloroacrylate is used as α-chloroacrylate. 5. The method for producing a copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein a total content of the α-alkylstyrene unit and the α-chloroacrylate unit in the copolymer accounts for 100 mol %. 6. The method for producing a copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein a weight-average molecular weight of the copolymer is 30000 to 100000. 7. The method for producing a copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein a weight-average molecular weight of the copolymer is 50000 to 70000. 8. The method for producing a copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein a molecular weight distribution of the copolymer obtained by dividing weight-average molecular weight by number-average molecular weight is 1.3 to 2.5. 9. The method for producing a copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein the solution polymerization is performed by using azobisisobutyronitrile as a polymerization initiator.
