  • the ratios (retention rates) of each tensile property after use in the accelerated weathering tester to those before use were 89%, 88%, 102%, and 96%, respectively, and almost no deterioration was observed.
  • Comparative Example 1 In Comparative Example 1, a block copolymer (Quintac 3440), which was the base polymer of Example 1, was subjected to a hydrogenation reaction in the same manner as in the third step of Example 1 to convert 99.1% of the double bonds in the main chain to single bonds, thereby preparing a hydrogenated block copolymer.
  • a hydrogenation reaction was carried out in the same manner as in the third step of Example 1, except that Quintac 3440 was used as the polymer.
  • 1 H-NMR measurement was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1 ( FIG. 5 )
  • FT-IR measurement was carried out in the same manner as for the sample before hydrogenation ( FIG. 6 )

  • the Young's modulus, tensile strength, breaking elongation, and toughness were 7.3 MPa, 9.0 MPa, 1460%, and 65 MJ/ m3 , respectively (Table 2).
  • the breaking elongation of the sample of Example 1 was almost the same as that of the sample of Comparative Example 2, but it showed higher tensile strength and therefore higher toughness.
  • Example 1 The reason why the tensile strength of Example 1 was high is thought to be because micro-ion aggregation occurred due to the introduced carboxylate anion group and sodium cation, and this micro-ion aggregation increased the apparent crosslinking point density.
  • stress concentration on the polystyrene isolated domain was also avoided due to the cleavage and recombination of the micro-ion aggregation, which suppressed the pulling out of polystyrene chains from the domain and suppressed early breakage, and therefore it is thought that the elongation was about the same as that of Comparative Example 1.
  • Comparative Example 2 In Comparative Example 2, the base polymer of Example 1, that is, the block copolymer (Quintac 3440) itself (containing no additives such as talc) that had not been subjected to a hydrogenation reaction was used.
  • a membrane sample was prepared by the solution casting method as in Example 1, and a uniaxial tensile test was performed. The results shown by the dashed lines in FIG. 8 were obtained.
  • the Young's modulus, tensile strength, breaking elongation, and toughness of the membrane of Comparative Example 2 were 2.4 MPa, 9.4 MPa, 2940%, and 114 MJ/m 3 , respectively, which were almost the same values as the data measured at a gripper distance of about 10 mm and an initial strain rate of 0.10/s (tensile rate of about 1.0 mm/s) as shown in FIG. 1a and Table 1 of the non-patent document ACS Omega 2022, 7, 2821-2830.
  • the ratio (retention rate) of each tensile property after using the accelerated weather resistance tester to that before using the tester was 54%, 15%, 35%, and 8.5%, respectively, and the retention rate of each tensile property was small.
  • the Young's modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, and toughness of the film irradiated with light for 48 hours were 1.2 MPa, 1.0 MPa, 790%, and 5.8 MJ/ m3 , respectively (chain line in FIG. 8, Table 2), and the ratio (retention) of each tensile property after use of the accelerated weathering tester to that before use was 50%, 11%, 27%, and 5.1%, respectively, and the retention of each tensile property was small.
  • Example 1 showed higher weather resistance. It is believed that the low weather resistance of the sample in Comparative Example 2 was due to the double bond in the main chain being decomposed by ultraviolet light. On the other hand, it is believed that the sample in Example 1 showed a high retention rate because there were almost no double bonds in the main chain due to the hydrogenation reaction, and there was almost no reaction due to ultraviolet light, and it was difficult to deteriorate.
  • Comparative Example 3 In Comparative Example 3, a high-strength block copolymer having an ionic group was prepared by carrying out the fourth step without carrying out the hydrogenation reaction in the third step on the block copolymer having an ester having a nonionic and neutral organic substituent and a carboxyl group obtained in the second step of Example 1. The content of the ionic group in the ionic group-containing block copolymer obtained in Comparative Example 3 was 4.4 mol%, and the membrane sample was prepared in the same manner as in the fourth step of Example 1.

  • the ratios (retention rates) of each tensile property after use of the accelerated weather resistance tester to those before use were 50%, 29%, 88%, and 34%, respectively, and the retention rate of tensile strength was low, and the retention rate of toughness was also low accordingly.
  • the Young's modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, and toughness of the film irradiated with light for 48 hours were 2.8 MPa, 8.6 MPa, 2530%, and 113 MJ/ m3 , respectively (chain line in FIG.
  • Example 2 In Example 2, a film sample (hydrogenation rate of 99.6%) of a block copolymer obtained by hydrogenating an ester having a nonionic neutral organic substituent (butyl group) obtained in the third step of Example 1 and a carboxyl group was prepared, and its mechanical properties were evaluated.
  • Example 2 In order to evaluate simple tensile properties, a uniaxial tensile test was performed in the same manner as in Example 1. The results shown by the dashed line in FIG. 10 were obtained, with the Young's modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, and toughness being 3.9 MPa, 12.2 MPa, 1630%, and 83 MJ/ m3 , respectively.
  • the Young's modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, and toughness of the film irradiated with light for 48 hours were 5.5 MPa, 9.0 MPa, 900%, and 42 MJ/ m3 , respectively (chain line in FIG. 10, Table 2), and the ratios (retention rates) of each tensile property after use of the accelerated weathering tester to those before use of the tester were 141%, 74%, 55%, and 51%, respectively. These values were larger than the retention rates of tensile strength, elongation at break, and toughness of Comparative Example 2, and the sample of Example 2 showed higher weather resistance.
  • Example 3 a hydrogenated block copolymer membrane sample having 4.5 mol % of ionic groups (hydrogenation rate of 98.7%) was prepared and its mechanical properties were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that n-butylamine was reacted with the succinic anhydride unit in an equimolar amount instead of 1-butanol in the second step of Example 1.
  • Example 3 In order to evaluate simple tensile properties, a uniaxial tensile test was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, and the results shown by the dashed line in Fig. 11 were obtained, with the Young's modulus, tensile strength, breaking elongation, and toughness being 9.2 MPa, 27.6 MPa, 1290%, and 153 MJ/ m3 , respectively, and the sample of Example 3 exhibited higher Young's modulus and tensile strength, and also had greater toughness, compared to the sample of Comparative Example 2. This is believed to be due to the fact that micro-ionic aggregation occurred due to the introduced carboxylate anions and sodium cations, and this micro-ionic aggregation increased the apparent crosslinking point density.
  • Example 4 a membrane sample of a hydrogenated block copolymer having an ionic group was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 4-methoxyphenethyl alcohol was used instead of 1-butanol in the second step of Example 1.
