METHOD FOR PRODUCING MACROMOLECULE HAVING MICROPHASE-SEPARATED STRUCTURE AND MACROMOLECULE HAVING MICROPHASE-SEPARATED STRUCTURE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a macromolecule having a microphase-separated structure which can improve the degree of freedom of a formed microphase-separated structure in comparison with the conventional method.SOLUTION: A block copolymer which comprises two or more segments and includes a first segment comprising monomer units with a first functional group capable of forming an ionic bond and/or a hydrogen bond and a second segment incompatible with the first segment, is mixed with a polymer which has a second functional group, capable of forming an ionic bond and/or a hydrogen bond with the first functional group, at other than the terminals of its polymer chain. The first segment and the polymer are associated with each other at many points through ionic bonds and/or hydrogen bonds and the mixture of the copolymer and the polymer is microphase separated to form a macromolecule which includes a region including the first segment and the polymer having been associated with each other and a region including the second segment.
