Abstract
Abstract A block copolymer consisting of segments of copolymer A, which is obtained by copolymerizing a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer with a radically copolymerizable peroxycarbonate and has peroxy groups in its main polymer chain, and segments of (co)polymer B, which is different from copolymer A in the monomer composition and does not contain peroxy groups, can modify matrix resin without deteriorating the mechanical property of the resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
181 words
A block copolymer consisting of (a) 5-95% by weight of segments consisting of copolymer A, which has been obtained by radically copolymerizing 80-99.5% by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer with 0.5-20% by weight of a radically copolymerizable peroxycarbonate represented by the following general formula (I), and (b) 95-5% by weight of segments consisting of (co)polymer B, which has been obtained by polymerizing at least one radically (co)polymerizable monomer in the absence of the radically copolymerizable peroxycarbonate represented by the general formula (I), and is different in the monomer composition from the above described copolymer A, said general formula (I) being ##STR5## wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms; R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R 3 and R 4 represent same or different alkyl groups having 1-4 carbon atoms; R 5 represents a phenyl group or an alkyl group or alkyl-substituted phenyl group having 1-12 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl group having 3-12 carbon atoms; and n is a positive integer of 1 or 2.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
181 words
A block copolymer consisting of (a) 5-95% by weight of segments consisting of copolymer A, which has been obtained by radically copolymerizing 80-99.5% by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer with 0.5-20% by weight of a radically copolymerizable peroxycarbonate represented by the following general formula (I), and (b) 95-5% by weight of segments consisting of (co)polymer B, which has been obtained by polymerizing at least one radically (co)polymerizable monomer in the absence of the radically copolymerizable peroxycarbonate represented by the general formula (I), and is different in the monomer composition from the above described copolymer A, said general formula (I) being ##STR5## wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms; R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R 3 and R 4 represent same or different alkyl groups having 1-4 carbon atoms; R 5 represents a phenyl group or an alkyl group or alkyl-substituted phenyl group having 1-12 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl group having 3-12 carbon atoms; and n is a positive integer of 1 or 2.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
195 words
