Hyperbranched Polymer and Method for Producing the Same

摘要

Disclosed is a novel hyperbranched polymer having a functional group in a molecular chain of a repeating unit. Also disclosed is a method for producing such a hyperbranched polymer. Specifically disclosed is a hyperbranched polymer having a repeating unit derived from a (meth)acrylate compound as a linear structure, while having a repeating unit derived from a dithiocarbamate compound having a vinyl group structure as a branched structure. This hyperbranched polymer can be obtained by holding a dithiocarbamate compound having a vinyl group structure and a (meth)acrylate compound together and subjecting them to a living radical polymerization.
