Title: Innovations by Nobuhiro Kudo in Polymer Chemistry
Introduction
Nobuhiro Kudo is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of polymer chemistry, particularly in the development of hydrogenated norbornene-based polymers. With a total of 2 patents, Kudo's work has implications for various applications in materials science.
Latest Patents
Kudo's latest patents focus on hydrogenated norbornene-based ring-opening polymerization polymers, resin compositions, and molded objects. One of his notable inventions is a hydrogenated norbornene ring-open polymer obtained by hydrogenating 80% or more of the main-chain carbon-carbon double bonds of a ring-open polymer derived from 2-norbornene. This polymer exhibits a weight average molecular weight determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) ranging from 50,000 to 200,000, a molecular weight distribution of 1.5 to 10.0, and a melting point between 110 to 145°C. Additionally, he has developed a hydrogenated norbornene ring-open polymer through ring-opening copolymerization of 2-norbornene and a substituent-containing norbornene monomer, where the proportion of a repeating unit derived from 2-norbornene is 90 to 99 wt %, and the proportion of a repeating unit derived from the substituent-containing norbornene monomer is 1 to 10 wt %. These innovations contribute to advancements in resin compositions and molding materials.
