In this study, the changes in the chemical structure and the physical property of fluoropolymer films (PTFE, FEP, PFA, PVDF, and ETFE) induced by $Co^{60}$ gamma ray in air, $N_2$, and vacuum environments were investigated. FTIR spectra of the irradiated fluoropolymers indicate that the oxidation proceeded by the reaction of radicals generated by irradiation with oxygen in air. The changes in the heat of fusion and the degree of crystallinity of the irradiated fluoropolymers were investigated using DSC and the results indicate that the scission and crosslinking reactions of the irradiated fluoropolymers were largely influenced by the chemical structure. It was also found that the mechanical property of the irradiated fluoropolymer films under an air atmosphere was significantly decreased.

In order to develop polymer electrolyte for lithium/sulfur batteries, highly microporous P(VdF-HFP) membranes were prepared by phase inversion method. Porous structure was controlled by extracting NMP with mixture of deionized water and methanol. Porous structure of the membranes was observed with SEM. Polymer electrolytes were prepared by soaking the porous membranes in 1M $LiCF_3SO_3-TEGDME/EC$. The ionic conductivity of polymer electrolyte was found to be at high as $2\times10^{-3}S/cm$ when the polymer membrane extracted by $80\%$ methanol was used. The microporous polymer electrolyte optimized in this work displayed high ionic conductivity, uniform pore size, low interfacial resistance and stable ionic conductivity with storage time. The ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes was measured with various lithium salts, and the conductivity showed $3.3\times10^{-3}S/cm$ at room temperature when $LiPF_6$ was used as a lithium salt.

In order to improve the anti-fogging property of polymer films, organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions which have good hydrophilic property and transmission in the range of visible light were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The coating solutions were prepared by adding glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane(GPS) to a colloidal silica(15 nm) suspension(Ludox). GPS as silane coupling agent forms strong bonds to the colloidal silica and surrounding polymer matrix and links two different materials together. Solutions prepared by addition of GPS at the acidic condition resulted in coatings that were less prone to cracking, while those at the basic condition caused coatings with more cracking. These resulted in better hydrophilic property and transmission in the range of visible light for the solution prepared at the acidic condition(pH 2). Compared with coatings under acidic conditions, coatings prepared at basic conditions showed worse hydrophilic property and transmission in the range of visible light.

일반적으로, 전도성 고분자는 금속에 준하는 전기 전도도와 다공성을 이용한 전해질 이온 및 생채 고분자의 물리, 화학적 도우핑 능력을 장점으로 한다. 따라서, 이 분야의 최근 연구동향도 이온 도우핑에 의한 전도성 고분자의 전기 전도도 향상에 초점이 맞추어져 있으며, 이미 다수의 연구진에 의행 여러 가지 방법이 제시되었다. 본 논문은 전기 화학적 cementation 공정을 이용하여 금속 이온을 전도성 고분자에 도우핑하고 특성을 고찰하였다. 전도성 고분자로써 polypyrrole (PPy)을 사용하고, micropaticles (구리와 니켈 이온)를 도펀트 (dopant)로 하여 -1.5 V ${\sim}$ 2V의 범위에서 순환 전압 전류법 (Cyclic voltammetry)을 이용해 organic-inorganic complex를 제작하였고, 각각의 전극을 비교, 분석 하였다. 구리 이온을 도우핑한 PPy 필름은 전기 전도도가 매우 우수하나 대기 중 공기 및 수분에 의해 쉽게 산화되므로 life-time이 짧다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 상대적으로 안정한 니켈 이온을 도우핑한 PPy 필름의 전기 화학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 전극의 표면은 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)를 이용하여 분석하였다.

Surface modification of a hydrophobic acrylic polymer film has been performed through simple chemical treatment to give a reactive surface. 2-Triphenylstannylthioethyl acrylate was polymerized under UV-illumination with various contents of a comonomer. When the polymer film was treated with fluoride ion, thiol functional group (SH) was generated on the film surface, which was observed through infrared absorption spectroscopy. The surface was functionalized by thiol addition reaction to acrylic chromophores. The SH content on the surface was controlled with a comonomer, tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane triacrylate, and examined with UV-Vis absorbance of the chromophore attached film. Similarly, a polymer film from 2-tributylstannylthioethyl acrylate was prepared. Destannylation from the triphenylstannyl and tributylstannyl surface completed after 30 and 5 min, respectively. The SH-exposed surface was modified with an isocyanate attached chromophore within 10 min, while acrylic chromophore required 24 h.

일반적으로 결정성 고분자에 공정에 있어서 배향 및 결정화 거동은 두 가지 중요한 공정 프로세스로써 고분자의 모폴로지 및 결정구조형성에 매우 큰 영향을 미치며 최종적으로 고분자의 거시적인 물성에 영향을 준다. 고분자 물질의 물리적 특성을 정확하게 이해하여 최적의 물성을 나타내는 내부 구조를 제시하기 위하여서는 고분자 물질의 배양분석에 있어서 분자의 2차원적 배향 상태뿐만 아니라 전체적인 3차원 배향 상태에 관한 정보가 필수적이다. (중략)

We investigated the effect of polymer sublayer on volumetric resistivity and tensile strength of carbon fiber (CF)/polyethylene composite films fabricated under high intensity electric fields. The dependence of volumetric resistivity and tensile strength of the films on the polymer sublayer thickness or mass part exhibited complex behavior according to CF content and CF layer density in the films. As the thickness of polymer sublayer increases, two groups of processes at thermo-mechanical forming stage would take effects in the properties of the films. The first group comprises the increase of polymer layer thickness having reduced CF content compared with central or upper part of the film and insufficient wetting of CF resulting in the loosened structure near upper film side. The second group, on the other hand, is the improvement of mobility of molten sublayer leading to better distribution of CF throughout the film thickness and the formation of more compact structure. The different degree of contribution of these two competing processes at varied CF content and CF layer density could explain complex dependence of the film properties on the polymer sublayer. These results are important to optimize the electrical and mechanical properties of highly conductive polymer films, which can be used as electromagnetic interference shielding materials.

가식성 및 생분해성 필름은 식품과 외부와의 물질이동을 차단하고, 영양성분, 향기성분, 항 산화제 등의 carrier 역할을 한다. 기존의 플라스틱 고분자 필름은 생분해성 필름에 비해 가격 경쟁력 및 물리적 성질이 우수하기는 하지만, 생분해성 필름은 단백질과 다당류 및 지질을 주원료로 하여 이들의 단독 또는 조합에 의해 만들어지고, 생물학적 분해가 용이하고 식용 가능하여 포장재로 인한 환경오염을 줄일 수 있다는 것이 생분해성 필름의 가장 큰 장점이다. (중략)

DBR (distributed Bragg reflectors) PSi (porous silicon) composite films displaying dual optical properties, both optical reflectivity and photoluminescence had been developed. DBR PSi samples were prepared by electrochemical etch of heavily doped $p^{++}-type$ silicon wafers (boron doped, polished on the <100> face, resistivity of $0.8-1.2m{\Omega}-cm$, Siltronix, Inc.). Free-standing DBR PSi films were treated with PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) to produce flexible, stable composite materials in which the PSi matrix is covered with PMMA containing photoluminescent polysiloles. Optical characteristics of DBR PSi/polysilole-impregnated PMMA composite materials exhibit both their photonic reflectivity at 565 nm and photoluminescence at 510 nm, simultaneously. A possible application of this materials will be discussed.

To improve the sound insulation performance of laminated glass in high speed trains, it is beneficial to study the relationship between the characteristics of interlayer films and the acoustical performance. In addition to those of conventional PVB (polyvinyl butyral), the dynamic mechanical properties of PVB derivatives and PC (polycarbonate), which are candidates for interlayer films, were analyzed. We assumed that PVB-HEMU, which has a glass transition temperature ($T_g$) around room temperature and a large tan ${\delta}$ (loss tangent) value, can be made to damp efficiently. The damping capability was tested utilizing sound transmission loss measurement and simulation under the identical structure of laminated glass in high speed trains. We also built a database for analysis of relations between interlayer film characteristics and acoustical performance; this was followed by the determination of sound transmission loss using the intensity technique and FEA.
