本実施例および比較例において行った試験方法は以下のとおりである。
流速0.35ml/分のテトラヒドロフランをキャリアとする高速液体クロマトグラフィによりポリスチレン換算の分子量に基づくチャートを得て、得られたチャートに基づいて求めた。装置は、東ソー社製HLC8320、カラムは昭和電工社製Shodex(登録商標)KF-404HQを3本連結したもの(カラム温度40℃)、検出器は示差屈折計および紫外検出器を用い、分子量の較正はポリマーラボラトリー社製の標準ポリスチレン(500から300万)の12点で実施した。
上記の高速液体クロマトグラフィにより得られたチャートの各ブロック共重合体に対応するピークの面積比から求めた。
Rubber Chem.Technol.,45,1295(1972)に記載された方法に従い、(水添)ブロック共重合体をオゾンと反応させ、水素化リチウムアルミニウムで還元することにより、(水添)ブロック共重合体のイソプレン重合体ブロックを分解した。
具体的には、以下の手順で行なった。すなわち、モレキュラーシーブで処理したジクロロメタン100mlを入れた反応容器に、試料を300mg溶解した。この反応容器を冷却槽に入れ-25℃としてから、反応容器に170ml/minの流量で酸素を流しながら、オゾン発生器により発生させたオゾンを導入した。反応開始から30分経過後、反応容器から流出する気体をヨウ化カリウム水溶液に導入することにより、反応が完了したことを確認した。次いで、窒素置換した別の反応容器に、ジエチルエーテル50mlと水素化リチウムアルミニウム470mgを仕込み、氷水で反応容器を冷却しながら、この反応容器にオゾンと反応させた溶液をゆっくり滴下した。そして、反応容器を水浴に入れ、徐々に昇温して、40℃で30分間還流させた。その後、溶液を攪拌しながら、反応容器に希塩酸を少量ずつ滴下し、水素の発生がほとんど認められなくなるまで滴下を続けた。この反応の後、溶液に生じた固形の生成物をろ別し、固形の生成物は、100mlのジエチルエーテルで10分間抽出した。この抽出液と、ろ別した際のろ液とをあわせ、溶媒を留去することにより、固形の試料を得た。このようにして得られた試料について、上記の重量平均分子量の測定法に従い、重量平均分子量を測定し、その値をスチレン重合体ブロックの重量平均分子量とした。
それぞれ上記のようにして求められた、(水添)ブロック共重合体の重量平均分子量から、対応するスチレン重合体ブロックの重量平均分子量を引き、その計算値に基づいて、(水添)イソプレン重合体ブロックの重量平均分子量を求めた。
上記の高速液体クロマトグラフィの測定における、示差屈折計と紫外検出器との検出強度比に基づいて求めた。なお、予め、異なるスチレン単位含有量を有する共重合体を用意し、それらを用いて、検量線を作成した。
溶媒として重クロロホルムを用いた1H-NMRの測定に基づき求めた。
溶媒として重クロロホルムを用いた1H-NMRの測定に基づき求めた。
溶媒として重クロロホルムを用いた1H-NMRスペクトル測定により、水添前のブロック共重合体組成物および水添後の水添ブロック共重合体組成物のそれぞれについて、オレフィン量を求め、水添前後のオレフィン量の差に基づいてオレフィン水添率(モル%)を算出した。
1H-NMRスペクトル測定では、溶媒に重クロロホルムを用い、NMR測定装置としてJMN-AL seriesAL400(JEOL社製)を用いた。
また、本実施例、比較例においては、水添前のブロック共重合体組成物および水添後の水添ブロック共重合体組成物は、いずれも、オレフィンに由来の単量体の単位として、イソプレン単位のみを含むものであったため、測定に際しては、イソプレンの水添率を求め、これをオレフィン水添率とした。
JIS K0070に準拠して測定した。
水添ブロック共重合体組成物について、熱劣化試験(170℃×1時間;空気存在下)を行い、熱劣化試験を行う前、および熱劣化試験を行った後における溶融粘度を測定し、下記式により粘度保持率を求めた。粘度保持率が高いほど、水添ブロック共重合体組成物が熱安定性に優れ、水添ブロック共重合体組成物の発泡成形時の熱劣化が抑制され、品質の安定した発泡体を得ることができると判断できる。
粘度保持率(%)=(熱劣化試験後の溶融粘度/熱劣化試験前の溶融粘度)×100
溶融粘度の測定は、フローテスターCFT-500C(島津製作所社製)を用い、温度180℃、加重100kgf/cm2、ダイ形状1mmφ×10mmの条件で測定した。
JIS K 7311:1995(水中置換法)に準拠して、発泡体の比重(みかけ密度)を測定した。また、水添ブロック共重合体組成物の比重(真密度)を同様に測定し、発泡体の比重(みかけ密度)および水添ブロック共重合体組成物の比重(真密度)から、発泡体の空隙率を算出した。
発泡体を直径29mm×高さ12mmの円柱形状に裁断し、そのサンプル片を、オートグラフ精密万能試験機((株)島津製作所製、製品名「AG-50kNIS MS型」)を用いて、23℃下で、ひずみ速度0.1mm/秒にて圧縮することによって、圧縮応力-ひずみ曲線を得た。得られた圧縮応力-ひずみ曲線のうち、ひずみ0~0.1の領域を直線近似することにより、初期弾性率E0を求めた。また、得られた圧縮応力-ひずみ曲線から、ひずみ0.4時の圧縮応力σ0.4及び圧縮応力1MPa時のひずみε1MPaを求めた。
