At a temperature higher than the transition temperature in an aqueous medium, the viscosity is almost the same as that of water, but below the transition temperature, the viscosity is remarkably high. That is, at a temperature higher than the transition temperature, the reactive surfactant unit more easily takes a micelle structure in water than the strength of the hydrophobic interaction of the temperature-sensitive polymer that constitutes the copolymer, The copolymer has a micellar structure in water, and because the copolymer is dispersed in the water system as submicron-sized particles, it exhibits almost the same low viscosity as water, but below the transition temperature the copolymer is water soluble. It becomes swellable and swells to cause entanglement between copolymer molecules, and exhibits a remarkably high viscosity.

It plays a role of an emulsifier in a polymerization reaction for forming a predetermined polymer or copolymer. Conventionally, a corresponding cationic surfactant or anionic surfactant has been used as an emulsifier, but these remain in the reaction mixture after completion of the polymerization and are mixed in the produced polymer or copolymer.

As means for initiating the polymerization, known means such as irradiation with radiation or electron beam, heating in the presence of a radical polymerization initiator, and light irradiation in the presence of a photosensitizer are used.

The reaction temperature is usually selected in the range of 0 to 100 ° C., though it varies depending on the kinds of the monomer and the initiator used. This reaction temperature needs to be a temperature equal to or higher than the transition temperature of the aqueous copolymer solution produced by the polymerization. At a temperature lower than this, the viscosity increases during the reaction and the polymerization does not proceed sufficiently.

By reacting in this way, a copolymerization reaction occurs in the micelles, and a copolymer can be efficiently obtained.

Therefore, the reaction solution obtained by the polymerization reaction is a specific bluish dispersion liquid which is close to pure water in a state of being maintained at the temperature at the time of polymerization, that is, the transition temperature of the produced copolymer or more. However, when it is cooled to a temperature lower than the transition temperature, the micelle structure is destroyed, the copolymer molecules are dissolved or swelled in water, and it changes into a transparent ultrahigh viscosity aqueous liquid. When this aqueous liquid is heated again, the viscosity decreases with increasing temperature until it reaches the transition temperature,
When the transition temperature is exceeded, the action of the reactive surfactant unit of the component (B) to try to take a micelle structure in water is stronger than the hydrophobic interaction strength of the thermosensitive polymer constituting the copolymer. You will win. The copolymer has a micelle structure in water, and since the copolymer is dispersed in the water system as submicron-sized particles, it exhibits a viscosity as low as that of water.
