Effects of structural features of 4 dinuclear constrained geometry catalysts having paraxylene derivative bridge (DCGC) on copolymerization of ethylene and 1-hexene were investigated. The bridges of three catalysts have para-xylene backbone with a different substituent at benzene ring. The substituents were hydrogen (Catalyst 1), isopropyl (Catalyst 2), n-hexyl (Catalyst 3) and 1-octyl (Catalyst 4). It was found that Catalyst 1 having hydrogen as a substituent exhibited the greatest activity among the four dinuclear CGCs. On the other hand, Catalyst 2 containing isopropyl as a substituent showed the smallest activity. Very interestingly, Catalyst 2 was able to produce about 6 times higher molecular weight polymer than Catalyst 3 and 4. Catalyst 3 and 4 having a long alkyl chain substituent revealed the biggest comonomer response to generate polyethylene copolymer containing more than 40% 1-hexene contents. These results suggest that the control of the substituent of para-xylene bridge of dinuclear CGC can provide a proper method to adjust the microstructure of polyethylene copolymers.

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was used to introduce epoxy groups on the surface of polypropylene (PP) plate, used as a substrate, through plasma-induced graft copolymerization. Emulsion polymerization was applied for graft copolymerization of GMA and was compared with conventional solution polymerization to confirm its effect. Plasma treatment conditions under one atmospheric pressure were fixed as follows; the RF power of 200 W, the treatment time of 30 sec, the Ar gas flow rate of 6 LPM, and the exposure time of treated PP samples in air of 5 min. For graft-copolymerization, GMA concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time was optimized to maximize the grafting degree of GMA. The maximum grafting degree of GMA was obtained at the condition of 12%-GMA concentration, $90^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, and 5 hr-reaction time. Analysis results supported that the emulsion polymerization was more effective than the solution polymerization for grafting more GMAs on the surface of PP plate under the same reaction conditions.

The theophylline imprinted membrane was prepared by a wet phase inversion method. Theophylline was implanted during copolymerization of acrylonitrile with acrylic acid or implanted in the dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing10 wt% copolymer, p(AN-co-AA). Rolling the glass plate, on which the copolymer solution was cast, in water removed the sponge layer and thus made the membrane symmetric. The adsorption selectivity of the membrane toward template molecule was increased with the coagulation temperature of the membrane and the initial concentration of the theophylline and caffeine mixture.

폴리프로필렌 섬유는 강도, 인성, 내마모성, 레질리언스 등의 물리적 성질이 우수하여 각종 산업용 소재로 폭 넓게 사용되고 있다[1]. 그러나 폴리프로필렌은 장점도 많지만 분자구조 특성으로 인하여 대전방지성, 소수성 등과 같은 표면특성들이 좋지 안은 단점도 있다[2,3]. 따라서 폴리프로필렌의 표면특성을 개질 하기 위하여 금속화합물, 고분자 첨가제를 혼합시키는 방법[4,5], 물리적ㆍ화학적으로 섬유를 처리하는 방법, 공중합과 벨렌드에 의한 방법 등이 사용되어 왔으며, 최근에는 유기물 고분자에 비하여 내열성, 내절연성, 그리고 표면특성이 우수한 실리콘을 공중합하여 변성수지를 개발하거나 블렌드하는 방법등이 이용되고 있다.

Poly(phenylene sulfide-co-phenylene sulfide sulfone), PPS/PPSS copolymers were synthesized from p-dichlobenzene(DCB), p-dibromobenzene(DBB), p-diiodobenzene(DIB), 4-chlorophenyl sulfone(CPS) and sodium sulfide as comonomers under high temperature and pressure utilizing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone(NMP) as solvent. The yield of PPS/PPSS copolymer shoed maximum at $190^{\circ}C$ with [DBB]/[CPS] and [DIB]/[CPS] comonomer pair, while [DCB]/[CPS] pair exhibited maximum yield at $230^{\circ}C$. The change of yield is in the order of I>Br>Cl as leaving groups were in accordance with nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction mechanism suggested for the synthesis of PPS type polymers. The molecular weight of PPS/PPSS copolymer was the highest($M_w=8,330g/mol$) with [DBB]/[CPS] comonomers in which [CPS] was 10 mole%. The PPS/PPSS copolymer made with 10 mole% of [CPS] showed about $15^{\circ}C$ higher $T_g$ and $15^{\circ}C$ lower $T_m$ than those of PPS homopolymer, which may be useful from the processing and thermal property point of view. The PPS/PPSS copolymer with 30 mole% of CPS or above did not exhibit Tm. The PPS/PPSS copolymer obtained with comonomer feed ratio of [DBB]/[CPS] = 95/5 mole% under $240^{\circ}C$ showed even higher molecular weight($M_w=10,300g/mole$) than PPS homopolymer made under similar reaction condition, retaining high crystallinity and thermal stability.

The new dinuclear CGC (constrained geometry complexes) with indenyl and methyl sub-stituted indenyl and polymethylene bridge have been synthesized, and the copolymerization of ethylene and styrene has been studied in the presence of methylalumionoxane. The activity of 12-methylene and 9-methylene bridged dinuclear CGC were 4 times higher than that of 6-methylene bridged dinucleay CGC. This result might be understood by the implication that the steric effect rather than the electronic effect nay play a major role to direct the polymerization behavior of the dinuclear CGC. The dinuclear CGCs are very efficient to incorporate styrene in backbone. The styrene contents in the formed co-polymers ranged from 6 to 45 mol% according to the polymerization conditions. The melting temperature of copolymers disappeared at high content of styrene (about 11 mol%) There is no styrene-styrene diblock sequence in copolymers. This result Indicates that the dinuclear CGC are very effective to generate random copolymer of ethylene and styrene.

Water soluble vinyl acetate/alkyl methacrylate copolymers were prepared by the emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate and various methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate (MMA) and ethyl methacrylate (EMA). Potassium persulfate (KPS) and ammonium persulfate (APS) were used as an initiator. Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was used as a protective colloid. The drying characteristics of the prepared poly(vinyl acetate-co-methyl methacrylate) (PVAc/PMMA), poly(vinyl acetate-co-ethyl methacrylate) (PVAc/PEMA) were studied using moisture meter at the temperature between 100 and $200^{\circ}C$. The significant results are described as follows. The activation energy of the isothermal drying process of the copolymers has the order of PVAc/PMMA> PVAc/PEMA> PVAc.

HEMA/vinyl-substituted polyphosphazene was prepared by the ring-opening polymerization of phosphonitrillic chroride trimer at $200{\sim}300\;{^{\circ}C}$, followed by Grignard reaction with vinyl magnesium bromide and then by the reaction with HEMA(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate). HEMA/vinyl-substituted polyphosphazene was copolymerized with EGDMA(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate; used as a cross-linker for the free-radical copolymerization), NVP (N-vinyl-pyrrolidone) in the presence of AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) as a radical initiator. The oxygen transmissibility, water content and visible-ray transmissibility of the resulting copolymer were measured to be Dk/t 88, 30.89% and 87%, respectively, indicating that the copolymer can be used as a good contact lens material.
