讲座摘要：
The development of high-performance, environmentally-harmonized plastics derived from renewable resources are significant for the establishment of a sustainable society. Most of currently-distributed plastics have very high durability which gives safety, credibility, and validity in our use as a commodity material. However, such durability has caused the serious problems in the environment around seas and rivers, destroying ecological system. Then the plastics keeping durability and showing degradability after use are earnestly desired. In order to create materials having the opposite properties, we synthesized itaconate-bioderived polyamide, where itaconic acid was mass produced from Aspergillus terreus by fermentation of glucose. Itaconic acid reacted with diamine compound to form pyrrolidone ring in the polymer backbone by Michael addition. The polyamide including pyrrolidone group was thermally synthesized without any solvent, which had number-average molecular weights above 34 000 g/mol (PDI: 2.0-3.4 (SEC)), glass transition (Tg) values over 92oC and no melting temperature (Tm). Young’s modulus and mechanical strength of the polyamides showed high values of 1.2-2.3 GPa and 90-113 MPa, respectively, which are superior to conventional aliphatic polyamides such as PA66 and PA6. The polyamides became water-soluble and were corroded. This corrosion was important in terms of overcoming plastic waste problems and especially the endangerment of marine creatures by polyamides such as fish lines. Sunlight including these UV wavelengths, and UV-A and UV-B rays irradiated these plastics to make them corrosive in seawater.
