Patent ID: 11084888

Abstract:
The present invention provides a production method for pseudo-polyrotaxane or polyrotaxane in which the degree of ring-shaped molecules included on straight-chain molecules, that is, the inclusion rate, has been controlled to be low and stable. The present invention provides a production method for polyrotaxane formed by blocking groups being positioned at both ends of a pseudo-polyrotaxane so ring-shaped molecules are not released, said pseudo-polyrotaxane being formed by ring-shaped molecules skewered through openings thereof by straight-chain molecules, wherein polyrotaxane is obtained by means of said method having: (A) a step for preparing straight-chain molecules which have acidic or basic functional groups on both ends; (B) a step for forming pseudo-polyrotaxane by means of having a step for mixing the straight-chain molecules, the ring-shaped molecules, and a first basic group or an acid addition salt (the acid addition salt is used when the straight-chain molecules have the acidic functional groups; a base addition salt is used when the straight-chain molecules have the basic functional groups); and (C) a step for providing blocking groups on both ends of the straight-chain molecules by means of having a step for mixing the obtained pseudo-polyrotaxane and a blocking group precursor.
