Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a polycarbonate resin that contains a repeating unit represented by formula (1). (In the formula, a, b, c and d are each an integer of 0 or higher, and a+b+c+d=12 to 48 inclusive.) Furthermore, the present invention provides an oil-absorbing material that uses the polycarbonate resin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An oil-absorbing material consisting of a polycarbonate resin comprising a repeating unit represented by Formula (1): wherein a, b, c and d are each an integer of 0 or higher, and a+b+c+d is 12 to 48, inclusive. 2. The oil-absorbing material according to claim 1 , wherein the polycarbonate resin comprises only the repeating unit represented by Formula (1). 3. The oil-absorbing material according to claim 1 , wherein a+b+c+d is 30. 4. The oil-absorbing material according to claim 1 , wherein the polycarbonate resin has a solid body at 25° C. 5. The oil-absorbing material according to claim 4 , wherein the polycarbonate resin has a weight-average molecular weight of 70,000 to 500,000 in terms of polystyrene. 6. The oil-absorbing material according to claim 1 , wherein the oil-absorbing material has a viscous body at 25° C. 7. The oil-absorbing material according to claim 6 , wherein the polycarbonate resin has a weight-average molecular weight of 10,000 to 30,000 in terms of polystyrene. 8. The oil-absorbing material according to claim 1 , wherein the polycarbonate resin has a specific gravity less than 1 g/cm 3 . 9. A method for producing the oil-absorbing material according to claim 1 , comprising using a dihydroxy compound represented by Formula (2) below as a raw material: wherein a, b, c and d are each an integer of 0 or higher, and a+b+c+d is 12 to 48, inclusive.
