Abstract
A polyesterified block copolymer represented by the general formula (1), (2) or (3) (for example, polyolefin/polyolefin block copolymer of the following general formula (1)), obtained by an esterification reaction between a terminal maleated polymer and a terminal hydroxylated polymer. Also, a process for producing the same is provided. (1) wherein each of R1 and R2 represents hydrogen or methyl; m is an integer of 10 to 200; n is an integer 10 to 200; k is an integer 5 of to 3000.
Claims5
A polyolefin/polyolefin block copolymer represented by the following general formula (1):
- wherein R1 and R2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, m represents an integer of from 10 to 200, n represents an integer of from 10 to 200, and k represents an integer of from 5 to 3000.
A process for producing a polyolefin/polyolefin block copolymer, the process comprising hydroxylating a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of atactic telechelic polypropylene, isotactic telechelic polypropylene, syndiotactic telechelic polypropylene and isotactic telechelic poly-1-butene at its both terminals, separately modifying a polyolefin the same as or different from the polyolefin selected above at its both terminals with maleic anhydride, and obtaining a block copolymer through an esterification reaction between the hydroxylated polyolefin and the maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin.
A polystyrene/polyethylene block copolymer represented by the following general formula (2) or general formula (3):
- wherein m represents an integer of from 500 to 50000 and n represents an integer of from 50 to 5000.
A process for producing a polystyrene/polyethylene block copolymer wherein the polystyrene/polyethylene block copolymer is obtained through an esterification reaction between a maleic anhydride-modified polystyrene and a hydroxylated polyethylene.
