Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A particle manufacturing method of the present invention includes: ring-opening-polymerizing a ring-opening-polymerizable monomer after bringing the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer into contact with a first compressible fluid; and granulating a polymer obtained in the ring-opening-polymerizing by jetting the polymer and the first compressible fluid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A particle manufacturing method, comprising: polymerizing a ring-opening-polymerizable monomer after bringing the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer into contact with a first compressible fluid comprising carbon dioxide via a ring-opening polymerization to obtain a polymer; and granulating the polymer by jetting the polymer with a second compressible fluid comprising nitrogen supplied to the polymer. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polymerizing occurs in the presence of a catalyst. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a conversion ratio of the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer to the polymer is 98 mol % or higher. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer is brought into contact with the first compressible fluid to melt the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first compressible fluid consists of carbon dioxide, and the second compressible fluid consists of nitrogen. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein: the polymerizing occurs in the presence of a catalyst; a conversion ratio of the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer to the polymer is 98 mol % or higher; and the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer is brought into contact with the first compressible fluid to melt the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer. 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first compressible fluid consists of carbon dioxide, and the second compressible fluid consists of nitrogen. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer is a cyclic ester or a cyclic carbonate and the polymer is a pressure-plastic material. 9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer is a cyclic ester or a cyclic carbonate and the polymer is a pressure-plastic material. 10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the ring-opening-polymerizable monomer is a cyclic ester or a cyclic carbonate and the polymer is a pressure-plastic material.
