PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF POLYMER USING IRON COMPLEX AS CATALYST

摘要

Disclosed is a process for production of a polymer or block copolymer having a high molecular weight and also having a chemically convertible functional group at the terminus, which can polymerize a radical polymerizable monomer quantitatively in a relatively short time. Also disclosed is a process for production of a polymer, wherein a polymer given after the polymerization is reprecipitated in an all-purpose solvent by a simple method to collect an iron complex used in the polymerization into the solvent and the iron complex is re-used for the polymerization.
