Method for manufacturing polymer

摘要

A method for manufacturing a polymer includes the steps of:
(1) deciding an upper limit of a budget;
(2) deciding an amount of a non-fossil resource-derived monomer and an amount of a fossil resource-derived monomer such that utility is optimized in a range where a cost does not exceed the upper limit, by using a function that includes a total monomer amount and a utility index of the non-fossil resource-derived monomer as constants and includes the amount of the non-fossil resource-derived monomer and the amount of the fossil resource-derived monomer as variables; and
(3) polymerizing the non-fossil resource-derived monomer and the fossil resource-derived monomer.
