After 8 hours, it returned to about 2.5 times the distance between the grips before extension. Furthermore, after 30 hours, it returned to about 2.3 times the distance between the grips before extension. After 47 hours, it was almost the same as after 30 hours (2.2 times).

- Stress relaxation test was performed at a strain of 500% (Fig. 1), the stress immediately after the strain reached 500% was 1.8 MPa, and the stress was higher than in Example 1. Was small. This is considered to be because the apparent crosslink density increased due to the presence of non-covalent bonds after denaturation. After that, the stress decreased, but the drop in stress was smaller than in the case of Example 1.
- the stress after 12 hours was 0.89 MPa and 0.81 MPa, respectively.

- the polymer was dissolved in THF to prepare a solution of about 8% by mass, and 10 drops of the solution was placed on an aluminum plate with a Pasteur pipette and allowed to stand at room temperature for 3 hours or more to evaporate THF. . Thereafter, the solvent was completely removed by drying using a vacuum dryer for 3 hours or more, and reflection Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy (FT-IR) measurement was performed on the obtained film.
- FT-IR reflection Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy
- the acid anhydride group and n-butylamine were in approximately equimolar amounts.
- the inside of the PFA container was purged with nitrogen and stirred at 300 rpm for about 13 hours on a 50 ° C. hot plate.
- the solution after reaction was transferred to a PFA container having a capacity of internal dimensions 128 mm ⁇ 94 mm ⁇ 23 mm, and allowed to stand at room temperature for 1.5 days to evaporate the THF solvent. Thereafter, the solvent was completely removed by drying for about 1 day using a vacuum dryer.
- the modified sample obtained was in the form of a membrane.
- FIG. 4 shows the appearance of the sample after the application of the strain is stopped for the sample which has been subjected to the strain of 1300% for 47 hours.
- the sample instantaneously returned to about 10.9 times the distance between the clamps of the sample before elongation. After 9 hours, it returned to about 7.5 times the distance between the grips before extension.

After 47 hours, it returned to about 7 times the distance between the grips before extension. That is, the recovery rate after 47 hours was 54%.
- the strain recovery was smaller in the diblock copolymer only system as compared with the system containing the triblock copolymer (Example 1).
- the nanophase separation structure is a triblock copolymer because only one of the polymer chains is not anchored by the glassy styrene domain in the case of the diblock copolymer alone. This is considered to be because the sheet is more easily broken than the case containing a polymer.
- a film sample was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 8.03 g and 80.9 g of the block copolymer of Production Example 3 of the base polymer and THF were used, respectively.

- Young's modulus, maximum stress, elongation at break, and toughness were 1.6 MPa, 0.34 MPa, 140%, and 0.40 MJ / m 3 , respectively, and could hardly be stretched. This is because the main component of the block copolymer of Production Example 3 is a diblock copolymer, and the polystyrene domains generated by the nanophase separation structure are not connected by a polyisoprene block.
- block copolymer (block copolymer composition containing styrene-isoprene diblock copolymer as the main component) itself in Production Example 3 itself has a breaking elongation of 140%, it is the same as the other examples and comparative examples. It was not possible to conduct stress relaxation tests under the conditions (under constant strain of 500% and 1300%).

Rubber Chem. Technol.,45,1295(1972)に記載された方法に従い、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、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、溶液を撹拌しながら、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き、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、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、イソプレン重合体ブロックの重量平均分子量を求めた。
1H NMRの測定に基づき求めた。

実施例1では、ベースポリマーとなるブロック共重合体として、製造例1のブロック共重合体(スチレン-イソプレン-スチレントリブロック共重合体を含有するブロック共重合体組成物)を使用し、下記の反応にしたがって無水マレイン酸による変性を行い、さらにアミンによる変性処理を行った。なお、非共有結合可能な官能基の導入率(変性率)を0.83~27.7モル%の範囲で変化させて、ブロック共重合体組成物を調製したが、ここでは非共有結合可能な官能基の導入率(変性率)が10.5モル%である例を示す。以下に具体的な手順を示す。
ベースポリマーの製造例1のブロック共重合体と、老化防止剤のN-(1,3-ジメチルブチル)-N’-フェニル-1,4-フェニレンジアミン(以下、6PPDと称する。)と、高沸点溶媒のフタル酸ジ-n-オクチル(以下、DNOPと称する。)とをそれぞれ20.0g、37.8mg、90.0gずつ秤り取り、室温において丸底フラスコ内で混合し、17.5時間、メカニカルスターラーによって撹拌した。その後、100℃のオイルバス中で3.5時間撹拌することで溶液を作製した。この溶液に無水マレイン酸を10.0g添加し、フラスコ内を窒素置換した後に100℃のオイルバス中で15分間攪拌して反応溶液を調製した。無水マレイン酸が完全に溶解したら、フラスコを約182℃のオイルバスに移し、50分間攪拌することで反応を行った。その後オイルバスからフラスコを出して反応を終了した。
得られた無水マレイン酸により変性させたブロック共重合体(無水マレイン酸由来の酸無水物の導入率10.5mol%)の無水マレイン酸由来の酸無水物基は反応性が高いため、モノアミン化合物と反応してカルボン酸基とアミド基(非共有結合可能な官能基)になると考えられる。テトラフルオロエチレン・パーフルオロアルキルビニルエーテル共重合体(以下、PFAと称することとする)製の250mL容器中で8.00gの無水マレイン酸変性ブロック共重合体を80.2gのTHFに溶解し、さらにn-ブチルアミンを742mg加えた。このとき、酸無水物基とn-ブチルアミンはほぼ等モル量であった。PFA容器内を窒素置換し、50℃のホットプレート上で300rpmで約13時間撹拌した。反応後の溶液を内寸128mm×94mm×23mmの容量のPFA容器に移し、そのまま室温で1.5日間静置させることでTHF溶媒を蒸発させた。その後、真空乾燥機を用いて約1日間乾燥させることで溶媒を完全に除去した。得られた変性試料は膜状であった。
得られた膜状の変性試料を打抜き刃型を用いて打ち抜き、4mm幅のドッグボーン型試験片を調製した。試験片の厚さは約0.60mmであった。測定装置は島津製作所製のAGS-X、50Nロードセル、50Nクリップ式つかみ具を用い、つかみ具間距離9.8mm、初期歪み速度0.33/s(引張速度3.2mm/s)にて行った。引張試験の結果、ヤング率、最大応力、破断伸び、靱性はそれぞれ、2.9MPa、10.0MPa、1580%、61MJ/m3であった。なお、ヤング率は応力-ひずみ曲線の初期勾配(ひずみ10%以内)、最大応力は応力の最大値、破断伸びは破断が生じたときの伸び、靱性は応力-ひずみ曲線の内面積より求めた。
1-3引張試験と同様に、膜状の変性試料を打抜き刃型を用いて打ち抜き、4mm幅のドッグボーン型試験片を調製した。試験片の厚さは約0.60mmであった。測定装置は引張試験と同様に島津製作所製のAGS-X、50Nロードセル、50Nクリップ式つかみ具を用い、つかみ具間距離8.7mm、初期歪み速度1.5/s(引張速度13mm/s)、歪み500%にて12時間、応力緩和試験を行った。その試験結果を図1に示す。歪みが500%に達した直後の応力は2.2MPaであり、その後応力は1MPa程度まで急激に低下した。応力は徐々に低下し、8時間経過後、12時間経過後の応力はそれぞれ0.54MPa、0.53MPaでほぼ一定であり、破断は生じなかった。
実施例2では、ベースポリマーとなるブロック共重合体として、製造例2のブロック共重合体(スチレン-イソプレン-スチレントリブロック共重合体を含有するブロック共重合体組成物)を使用し、実施例1と同様にして無水マレイン酸による変性を行い、さらにアミンによる変性処理を行う。本実施例でも、非共有結合可能な官能基を導入できることが確認できる。
比較例1では、製造例1のブロック共重合体(スチレン-イソプレン-スチレントリブロック共重合体を含有するブロック共重合体組成物)に対して、引張試験および応力緩和試験を行った。
比較例2では、ベースポリマーとなるブロック共重合体として、製造例3のブロック共重合体(スチレン-イソプレンジブロック共重合体を主成分とするブロック共重合体組成物)を使用し、無水マレイン酸による変性を行い、さらにアミンによる変性処理を行った。以下に具体的な手順を示す。
ベースポリマーの製造例3のブロック共重合体と、老化防止剤の6PPDと、高沸点溶媒のDNOPをそれぞれ20.0g、40.6mg、89.9gずつ秤り取り、室温において丸底フラスコ内で混合し、18時間、メカニカルスターラーによって撹拌した。その後、100℃のオイルバス中で3.5時間撹拌することで溶液を作製した。この溶液に無水マレイン酸を10.0g添加し、フラスコ内を窒素置換した後に100℃のオイルバス中で10分間攪拌して反応溶液を調製した。無水マレイン酸が完全に溶解したら、フラスコを約182℃のオイルバスに移し、50分間攪拌することで反応を行った。その後オイルバスからフラスコを出して反応を終了した。
無水マレイン酸により変性したブロック共重合体(無水マレイン酸由来の酸無水物の導入率9.6mol%)の無水マレイン酸由来の酸無水物基は反応性が高いため、モノアミン化合物と反応してカルボン酸基とアミド基(非共有結合可能な官能基)になると考えられる。PFA製の250mL容器中で8.02gの無水マレイン酸変性ブロック共重合体を81.4gのTHFに溶解し、さらにn-ブチルアミンを699mg加えた。このとき、酸無水物基とn-ブチルアミンはほぼ等モル量であった。PFA容器内を窒素置換し、50℃のホットプレート上で300rpmで約13時間撹拌した。反応後の溶液を内寸128mm×94mm×23mmの容量のPFA容器に移し、そのまま室温で1.5日間静置させることでTHF溶媒を蒸発させた。その後、真空乾燥機を用いて約1日間乾燥させることで溶媒を完全に除去した。得られた変性試料は膜状であった。
得られた膜状の変性試料を打抜き刃型を用いて打ち抜き、4mm幅のドッグボーン型試験片を調製した。試験片の厚さは約0.57mmであった。つかみ具間距離9.5mm、初期歪み速度0.33/s(引張速度3.1mm/s)にて引張試験を行った。引張試験の結果、ヤング率、最大応力、破断伸び、靱性はそれぞれ、0.93MPa、2.6MPa、1750%、21MJ/m3であった。
2-3引張試験と同様に、膜状の変性試料を打抜き刃型を用いて打ち抜き、4mm幅のドッグボーン型試験片を調製した。試験片の厚さは約0.57mmであった。測定装置は引張試験と同様に島津製作所製のAGS-X、50Nロードセル、50Nクリップ式つかみ具を用い、つかみ具間距離9.1mm、初期歪み速度1.5/s(引張速度14mm/s)、歪み500%にて12時間、応力緩和試験を行った。その試験結果を図1に示す。歪みが500%に達した直後の応力は1.1MPaであり、その後応力は0.2MPa程度まで急激に低下した。応力は徐々に低下し、8時間経過後、12時間経過後の応力はそれぞれ0.040MPa、0.032MPaでほぼ一定であり、破断は生じなかった。
参考例では、製造例3のブロック共重合体(スチレン-イソプレンジブロック共重合体を主成分とするブロック共重合体組成物)に対して、引張試験および応力緩和試験を行った。
