  When the compound having a methacryloyl group with respect to each of the vinyl polymers 1 is less than 0.8 mol, there is a polymer chain having no methacryloyl group introduced at the terminal, which causes poor curing. It becomes. Moreover, when the compound which has a methacryloyl group with respect to each said vinyl polymer 1 is larger than 2 mol, many compounds which have a methacryloyl group remain, and storage stability worsens.

  The vinyl monomer having a carboxyl group may be added to the polymerization system from the beginning, but is preferably added to the polymerization system when the polymerization rate is 70% to 99%. More preferably, the polymerization rate is 85% to 98%, and particularly preferably 93% to 97%. When added at a polymerization rate of less than 70%, it becomes close to the α-terminal carboxyl group and the molecular weight between the crosslinking points is shortened, so that excellent mechanical properties and the like cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the polymerization rate exceeds 99%, the copolymerization rate decreases, and there is a possibility that it will not be introduced into the polymer chain.

  Moreover, when adding the vinyl-type monomer of General formula (2)-(5) which carries out the block copolymerization, you may add another vinyl-type monomer simultaneously.

  Reaction of a vinyl polymer having a carboxyl group, glycidyl group, hydroxyl group or isocyanate group with a methacryl monomer having a glycidyl group, carboxyl group, isocyanate group or hydroxyl group represented by the general formulas (2) to (5) The temperature is preferably 40 to 110 ° C. More preferably, it is 50-100 degreeC, Most preferably, it is 60-90 degreeC. When it is lower than 40 ° C., the reaction is slow and production efficiency is remarkably deteriorated. On the other hand, when the reaction temperature is higher than 90 ° C., the methacryloyl group may be added to the vinyl polymer.

  In the above reaction, it is preferable to use a catalyst in order to increase production efficiency. The catalyst is not particularly limited as long as it accelerates these reactions and does not affect the methacryloyl group. As a catalyst for the reaction between the carboxyl group and the glycidyl group, tributylammonium bromide is preferable. Tributylammonium bromide does not affect the reaction of the methacryloyl group, and can effectively accelerate the reaction between the carboxyl group and the glycidyl group. In addition, as a catalyst for the reaction of hydroxyl group and isocyanate group, dibutyltin dilaurate, dibutyltin diacetate, dibutyltin diacetoacetonate, dibutyltin diethylhexanolate, dibutyltin dioctate, dibutyltin dimethylmalate, dibutyltin diethyl maleate Dibutyltin dibutyl malate, dibutyltin diisooctylmalate, dibutyltin ditridecylmalate, dibutyltin dibenzylmalate, dibutyltin maleate, dioctyltin diacetate, dioctyltin distearate, dioctyltin dilaurate, dioctyltin diethyl And tetravalent tin compounds such as malate and dioctyltin diisooctylmalate.

  The addition amount of the catalyst is preferably 0.1 to 2% by mass, more preferably 0.2 to 1% by mass with respect to the amount of the (meth) acrylic polymer having a carboxyl group at the terminal, and 0 It is particularly preferably 3 to 0.5% by mass. When the amount of the catalyst is less than 0.1% by mass, the effect is small and the productivity cannot be improved. On the other hand, when the amount of the catalyst exceeds 2% by mass, there is an adverse effect such as precipitation in the subsequent product.

  The molecular weight of the vinyl polymer having at least one methacryloyl group produced in the present invention at the molecular end is 3000 to 50000 in terms of number average molecular weight (Mn) in terms of polystyrene by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). It is preferable. More preferably, it is 6000-25000. When Mn is lower than 3000, the crosslink density of the cured product becomes too high, and the elongation of the cured product becomes extremely small. When Mn is higher than 50000, the viscosity becomes very high and workability is remarkably deteriorated. Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn), Less than 2.0 (usually 1.05 or more) is preferable. More preferably, it is 1.3-1.8.

The number f of methacryloyl groups per polymer chain is preferably 1.0 to 10.0. The number is more preferably 1.4 to 4.0, and particularly preferably 1.8 to 3.5. f is calculated as follows.
f = Concentration of methacryloyl group in polymer [mol / kg] / (1000 / number average molecular weight)
When f is smaller than 1.0, the cured product has a low crosslink density, so that the breaking strength is very weak. On the other hand, when the number is more than 10.0, the crosslink density is too high, and the cured product is brittle and does not stretch.

  The vinyl polymer having at least one (meth) acryloyl group at the molecular end produced in the present invention may require a step of removing residual volatiles after the reaction. Any demelting process may be used as long as it is a commonly used demelting process such as a falling evaporator, a thin film evaporator or an extruder dryer. The demelting temperature condition is preferably 250 ° C. or lower. More preferably, it is 170 degrees C or less, Most preferably, it is 100 degrees C or less. If it is 250 degrees C or less, a living radical polymerization terminal will not dissociate and the production | generation of the low molecular weight substance by decomposition | disassembly of a polymer will not occur. On the other hand, when it exceeds 250 ° C., the living polymerization terminal is dissociated, and the polymer chain is partially decomposed to produce a low molecular weight product. Moreover, since coloring will also generate | occur | produce, it is not preferable.
