| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a radical polymerization method that enables synthesis, at a high conversion rate, of polymers having a relatively uniform molecular weight and is applicable to various monomers that are generally available, and an apparatus used for the method. The present invention relates to a method for producing a polymerization product by continuously or intermittently circulating, within a flow path of the radical polymerization apparatus, a reaction solution containing a monomer and a radical polymerization initiator. Heating of the reaction solution that has flowed into a heating-initiation unit to a predetermined temperature is performed in a condition in which the radical polymerization initiator, contained in a volume obtained when the reaction solution that has flowed into the heating-initiation unit is temporally sliced, is cleaved all at once (a condition in which the radical polymerization initiator contained in the volume is heated to the predetermined temperature simultaneously across the radial direction of a cross section of the flow path). The present invention relates to a radical polymerization reaction apparatus including a heating medium production unit 10, a heating medium-reaction solution mixing unit 20, a cooling unit 30, and a recovery unit 40 for a reaction mixture, all of which are communicatively connected by the flow path. The present invention relates to a radical polymerization reaction apparatus including a heating reaction unit 60, a cooling unit 70, and a recovery unit 80 for a reaction mixture, wherein all of which are communicatively connected by the flow path. |
