METHOD FOR PRODUCING BRANCHED VINYL POLYMER HAVING FUNCTIONAL GROUP

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for producing a vinyl polymer (P) having a polar functional group (X) and having in its main chain a branched structure. The object can be achieved by the present invention providing a method for producing a vinyl polymer (P) having a polar functional group (X) and having in its main chain a branched structure, wherein while and/or after polymerization of a vinyl polymer (I) having a protecting group (Y) and having at its molecular terminal a group (A) containing carbon-carbon double bond, the protecting group (Y) is converted to the polar functional group (X).
