TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to an acrylic acid-based star polymer and, more particularly, to a star polymer containing a repeating unit derived from a polyacrylate as a core portion and a repeating unit derived from an acrylic ester as an arm portion.
[0002] This application claims priority on Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-162081 filed on May 31, 2004 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-132073 filed on Apr. 28, 2005, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND ART
[0003] It has been known that a star polymer is obtained by polymerizing methyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate and t-butyl methacrylate using, as an initiator, diphenylhexyllithium obtained by reacting 1,1-diphenylethylene with s-butyllithium, and reacting with dicumyl alcohol dimethacrylate or 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol dimethacrylate (see, for example, Nonpatent Document 1).
