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

摘要

A process for producing a polymeric object having a microphase-separated structure that can improve the degree of freedom for the structure to be formed is provided. A block copolymer composed of two or more segments and having a first segment composed of a monomer unit having a first functional group capable of forming an ionic bond and/or a hydrogen bond and a second segment incompatible with the first segment, and a polymer having, at other than the terminals of its polymer chain, a second functional group capable of forming an ionic bond and/or a hydrogen bond with the first functional group are mixed. Then, allowing the first segment to be associated with the polymer at many points by an ionic bond and/or a hydrogen bond, the mixture of the copolymer and the polymer is microphase separated. As a result, a polymeric object is formed including a region including the first segment and the polymer that have been associated with each other, and a region including the second segment.
