Membrane formation mechanism by the phase inversion has been investigated in order to control the membrane morphology. It was found that finger-like structures were obtained when the heat of mixing between the solvent and non-solvent is exothermic, while sponge-like structures were obtained when they are endothermic in polystyrenes as well as in polyimides (Torlon and polyimide made frorn 3,3'4,4'-benzophenontetracarboxylic diahmydride and 1,4-phenylene diarnine) membranes. This concept was applied to control the morphology of polysulfone membranes simply by adding a solvent additive by adjusting the heat of mixing. A crude, but simple, relationship between the heat of mixing and the exchange rate of the solvent with non-solvent has been also developed.

본 연구에서는 인쇄회로기판(PCB)용 재료로 널리 사용되는 고분자에 대해서 와이블 분포 방정식의 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 절연 신뢰도 특성 데이터를 분석하였다. 와이블 분포에 대한 분석 시뮬레이션을 통하여 일반적으로 허용 절연 파괴 확률을 0.1[%] 이하라고 설정하였을 때, 첨가제 배합비를 5종으로 구분한 각 시편에 대해서 인가 전계의 허용치를 각각 계산할 수 있었다.

Degradation of polymer additives is enhanced at higher temperature of the test solutions. The degradation of Co-polymer solution was investigated experimentally in a closed loop at the temperature of 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 8$0^{\circ}C$ with various polymer concentrations of 100, 200, 400, 600 ppm in order to see the effect of temperature and polymer concentration with time. The degradation effect were found to be more dependent on temperature than mechanical shear. The friction factor versus Reynolds number curves show that in the range of Reynolds number number 50,000~150,000 the friction was decreased as Reynolds number increased and the friction of solution at low temperature approached to Virk's maximum drag reduction asymptote. For constant flowrates and temperatures the degradation effect was found to be less likely in higher polymer concentration. For constant flowrates and polymer concentrations the degradation rates are affected mainly by temperature. At the temperature of 8$0^{\circ}C$ and polymer concentration of 100 ppm, drag reduction effect was disappeared after 4 hours. However, this thermal degradation could be avoided with additional materials such as surfactants which are supposed to enhance the bonding forces between polymer molecules.

The advancement of commercially viable gas separation membranes plays a pivotal role in improving CO₂ separation efficiency. High-molecular-weight poly(ethylene oxide) (high-Mw PEO) emerges as a promising option due to its high CO₂ solubility, affordability, and robust mechanical attributes. However, the crystalline nature of high-Mw PEO hinders its application in gas separation membranes. This study proposes a straightforward blending approach by incorporating various polymeric additives into high-Mw PEO to address this challenge. Four commercially available, water-soluble polymers, i.e. poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(propylene glycol) (PPG), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) are examined as additives to enhance membrane performance by improving miscibility and reducing PEO crystallinity. Contrary to expectations, PEG and PPG fail to inhibit the crystalline structure of PEO and result in membrane flaws. Conversely, PAA and PVP demonstrate greater success in altering the crystal structure of PEO, yielding defect-free membranes. A thorough investigation delves into the correlation between changes in the crystalline structure of high-Mw PEO blend membranes and their gas separation performance. Drawing from our findings and previously documented outcomes, we offer insights into designing and selecting additive polymers for high-Mw PEO, aiming at the creation of cost-effective, commercially viable CO₂ separation membranes.

In order to use vesicle as a space of polymerization, monomer and cross-linking agent were put into hydrophobic part of vesicle. The vesicle solution of dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide was formed by ultrasonication. Styrene and divinylbenzene were put into this solution and polymerization was conducted by adding AIBN. The polymer with sphere-shaped structure was obtained by removing all of the surfactant by extraction of ethanol And using methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, this sphere-shaped polymer structure was also formed.

고분자 복합재료들은 오늘날 광범위하게 마찰 부위들에 응용되고 있다. 다양한 첨가제와 보강재들이 고분자 물질들에 넣어져 강도와 마모 특성들을 향상 시키고 있다. 예를 들어, 다양한 복합재료들로서 현재 입수 가능한 것에 베어링 재료들이 있으며 이에 포함되는 것이 자체 윤활 보강 플라스틱 들이며 이들에는 고체 윤활제, 즉, 테플톤, $MoS_2$, 혹은 흑연가루들이 첨가된다. 실험적 그리고 이론적인 연구들이 여러 조건들에서의 섬유 보강 복합 재료들의 마모 거동에 대하여 보고되었다(예를 들어, 미끄럼 마모, 연마 마모, 입자 충격 마모, 비빔 마모). Tsukizoe와 Ohmae의 보고에 의하면 탄성계수 탄소섬유 복합재료는 가장 적은 마모가 횡단 방향(Transverse)에서 있고, 고 강도 탄소 섬유 복합재료는 길이 방향(Longitudinal)에서 있다. 가장 많은 마모는, 고 탄성계수 복합재료는 길이 방향에서, 고 강도 섬유 복합재료는 횡단 방향에서 잇다. 그들이 또한 발표한 것은 양쪽의 고 탄성계수와 고 강도 섬유 복합재료들의 수직방향(Norma)에서 눌러 불음(Seizure)가 일어났다고 한다.

When the halogenated flame retardant, decabromodiphenyl oxide, was added to the polypropylene/nylon blend, and was compounded with montmorillonite and compatibilizer, maleic anhydride polypropylene, the improvement of flame retardancy and mechanical properties was investigated. The degree of dispersion between polymer resin and inorganic nanoparticles was investigated, and the flame retardancy and mechanical properties was measured quantitatively. XRD results showed that the montrnorillonite was com-pletely exfoliated after polypropylen/nylon nanocomposites was mixed above twice. By compounding with montmorillonite, polypropylene/nylon blend system was overcome the deterioration of flame retardancy. The tensile strength and impact strength were slightly increased, and by compounding with montmorillonite, the additional increase in mechanical properties was obtained. Therefore, the flame retardancy of polypropylene / nylon blend was decreased by adding nylon, but by compounding with inorganic nanoparticle, improvement of the flame retardancy and mechanical properties was obtained.

Using poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a polymer host, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a plasticizer, potassium iodide and iodine as sources of $I^-/{I_3}^-$ PEO-PEG-KI/$I_2$ polymer gel electrolytes were prepared. Based on the polymer gel electrolytes, solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell(DSSC)s were fabricated. The content of PEG in the electrolyte was changed from 0 to 85%. The electrolyte showed self-supporting form through whole range of the PEG content. As the PEG content increased, the ionic conductivity and ${I_3}^-$ diffusivity increased and the light-to electrical energy conversion efficiency increased under irradiation of 100 $mWcm^{-2}$ simulated sunlight.

Polymer microneedles can be fabricated by a micromolding method, an easy and cost-effective method. However, it is not easy to achieve uniform coating with an aqueous coating solution due to hydrophobic surface of polymer microneedles. 3-Dimensional coating polymer microneedles could deliver more than twice as much dose as in-plane metal microneedles by increasing coating area and the number of microneedles per unit area. A uniform coating was not obtained by addition of coating additives in the coating solution. The satisfied coating was achieved by treatment of surface of polymer microneedle with metal deposition and UV/ozone, and UV/ozone treatment was an ultimate surface treatment method based on biological safety. Calcein coating polymer microneedles were prepared by using UV/ozone treatment and followed dip-coating, and they delivered calcein in porcine skin successfully after 15 min of insertion.
