(Conventional technology) Radiation graft polymerization is a polymerization method that has recently been attracting attention in the cutting-edge industrial field that aims to improve the functionality of materials because it can impart other properties while taking advantage of the characteristics of the base material. The conventional radiation graft polymerization method is generally a liquid phase graft polymerization method in which the base material is reacted in a monomer solution, but it has the disadvantage of high running costs because it requires a large amount of chemicals and cleaning chemicals. . Moreover, the amount of cleaning chemicals varies greatly depending on the shape of the base material. For example, when a fibrous base material is used, liquid drainage is extremely difficult, and solid-liquid separation operations such as roll pressing, centrifugation, and filtration are required. In addition, in the case of a porous base material, leakage of chemicals from micropores continues for a long time, so a large amount of cleaning chemicals are required and cleaning time is also long. Furthermore, it is necessary to pay attention to the treatment of cleaning waste liquid.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) On the other hand, the gas phase graft polymerization method, in which monomer is brought into contact with the base material in a gaseous state, requires some consideration for the sealing of the polymerization equipment, but the amount of monomer is very small, and cleaning No process is required and it is advantageous in terms of cost. Furthermore, in gas phase graft polymerization, it is possible to control the grafting ratio by simply using a predetermined amount of monomers necessary for the reaction.

As described above, although gas phase graft polymerization has many advantages, the main reason why it has not yet been put into practical use is
It can only be applied to monomers with relatively high vapor pressure, and the grafting rate of the base material near the monomer solution is high.
This is because the graft becomes uneven in that it becomes lower at the far end.

As a method for irradiating the base material with radiation, a pre-irradiation method in which the base material is irradiated in advance and then brought into contact with the monomer is preferable because it produces less homopolymer of the monomer than the simultaneous irradiation method. There are two types of graft polymerization: liquid-phase graft polymerization and gas-phase graft polymerization, depending on the method of contact with the polymer. Gas-phase graft polymerization is advantageous in terms of cost, but since the vapor pressure differs depending on the type of polymer, monomers with low vapor pressure are preferable. In this case, the amount of monomer supplied for grafting is not uniform depending on the positional relationship between the monomer generation location and the grafting location, resulting in uneven grafting. Furthermore, the advantage of zero-liquid phase graft polymerization, which requires a relatively long reaction time, is that regardless of the vapor pressure of the monomer,
A uniform grafted product can be obtained in a relatively short time. This is because the monomer concentration around the base material is overwhelmingly higher than that in the gas phase. In gas phase graft polymerization,
There are methods to increase the concentration of 7-mers around the substrate, such as raising the monomer liquid temperature to increase the vapor pressure, or increasing the 7-mer evaporation area, but even if you do both at the same time, if there is a large amount of the substrate, it will not be very effective. No effect 0 The shape of the base material does not need to be particularly limited, but it is particularly suitable for the present invention if it is fibrous and the shape of the molded product is woven fabric or non-woven fabric 0 It is a woven fabric or non-woven fabric This is because it is a material that can be easily impregnated with nanatsuma (a high grafting rate can be easily obtained), a uniform grafted product can be obtained in a short period of time, and the effects of the present invention are exhibited most, such as not requiring cleaning. .

(Function) The inventors believe that if the base material itself becomes a monomer generation source, a uniform grafted product with a high grafting rate can be obtained in a short time, and there is also the advantage that there is no need for post-reaction cleaning, which is a characteristic of gas phase grafting. I came up with the present invention thinking that it might be maintained as it is.The present invention is based on the idea that after irradiating the base material with ionizing radiation,
Although the substrate is impregnated with a monomer solution and reacted under reduced pressure, the monomer solution and the substrate may be subjected to reduced pressure after irradiation, and then impregnated.

Since the base material is impregnated with the monomer solution and the graft reaction is started in the absence of droplets, the reaction rate is fast, the monomer can be fully utilized, and the formation of homopolymers is extremely small. Furthermore, the grafted product is in a dry state after the completion of the reaction,
Not only is it easy to handle, but unreacted monomers are removed (no washing step is required.Also, in the present invention, a fibrous base material is preferred, but base materials of other shapes can also be used. A high grafting rate can be obtained by repeating the steps of , impregnation and reaction multiple times.For this purpose, it is more convenient for the base material and the monomer solution to be present inside the same vacuum container.Of course, the fiber If a higher grafting rate is to be obtained even in the case of a porous or porous substrate, the impregnation may be repeated further.

On the other hand, if you want to obtain a relatively low grafting rate, or if you want to stop the reaction before all the impregnated monomers have reacted, break the reduced pressure and introduce air, and after the radicals have disappeared, pump the vacuum again. If suction is applied, the monomer will easily evaporate. Since a fibrous or porous base material has a large surface area, the evaporation rate of the residual monomer is particularly high and it is easy to remove the residual monomer by suction.Examples The present invention will be explained below based on Examples.
