The present invention relates to a thermoplastic block copolymer comprising at least one PA block and at least one PB block. The PA block represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer A, and the PB block represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer B. Monomer A is a vinyl, acrylic, diolefin, nitrile, dinitrile, acrylonitrile monomer, a monomer with reactive functionality, or a crosslinking monomer. Monomer B is a radically polymerizable triglyceride or mixtures thereof, typically in the form of a plant or animal oil. The present invention also relates to a method of preparing a thermoplastic block copolymer or novel thermoplastic statistical copolymers by polymerizing a radically polymerizable monomer with a radically polymerizable triglyceride or mixtures thereof via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT), in the presence of an free radical initiator and a chain transfer agent.

A photocurable composition for a nail or artificial nail which can form a cured product exhibiting excellent durability (adhesion maintainability to nails). In addition, the present invention provides a photocurable composition for a nail or artificial nail which emits a weaker odor, generates less heat at the time of curing, and can form a cured product exhibiting excellent surface curability. In addition, the present invention provides a photocurable composition for nail or artificial nail which can form a cured product having an excellent shear adhesive force. The photocurable composition for nail or artificial nail according to the present invention contains the following components (A) to (D): component (A): a urethane-modified (meth)acrylic oligomer; component (B): a (meth)acrylamide monomer; component (C): a (meth)acrylic monomer having an acidic group; and component (D): a photoinitiator.
