Hard coatings were deposited on a polycarbonate plate as potential substitutes for glass in cars. In this research polyphenylene derivatives were synthesized and the coatings were conducted on a polycarbonate plate. Poly(benzoylphenylene) and its phenylene copolymers were synthesized. Using poly (benzoylphenylene), the coating showed 1H class of pencil hardness. And using its copolymers, the coating showed 2H class of pencil hardness. The copolymer also showed the better abrasion resistance than homopoly (benzoylphenylene).

In order to obtain PEO with reduced crystallinity, novel PEO derivatives containing carbonate linkages in the main chain have been synthesized by the reaction of various molecular weight poly (ethylene glycol)s (PEGs) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) in the presence of $H_2SO_4$ to yield methyl carbonate terminated PEGs, followed by condensation reaction under vacuum in the presence of titanium isopropoxide (TiP) catalyst. The number average molecular weight of PEGs used was in the range of 200 and 600 g/mol. The structure and compositions of the resulting polymers were characterized by $^1$H-NMR and $^{13}C-NMR$. Their thermal behavior and molecular weight were characterized by DSC/TGA and GPC, respectively.

In this study, we prepared the polycarbonates with various molecular weights by melt polymerization and investigated the crystallization by solvent induced crystallization. Effects of the types and compositions of solvents, crystallizing temperatures and molecular weights on crystallinity and melt temperatures of polycarbonates were evaluated by DSC, XRD and SEM. In case of low molecular weight polycarbonates and high crystallization temperature, the crystallinity of the polycarbonate was increased. As the increase of the crystallization temperature and the solution concentration, relatively uniform crystalline structures were obtained. Also, by treating with mixed solvents, the control of desired surface areas and crystallinity could be possible.

Recently, the waste of Polycarbonate(PC) is increase with the increase in demand of a polycarbonate. It is concerned with producing a new material and diol monomer, bishydroxyethyl ether of bisphenol A(BHE-BPA) through depolymerization of the polycarbonate waste at recycling. BHE-BPA can be used as a good raw material for the synthesis of polycarbonate type polyurethane. PC particles were depolymerized with base-catalyst NaOH, solvent EG, and ethylene carbonate(EC) was formed during the PC depolymerziation. EC was added to promote the conversion from bispenol-A to BHE-BPA. The characteristics of depolymeraion of polycarbonate as well as conversion of bispenol-A to BHE-BPA were investigated. BHE-BPA yield of 92% was obtained at temperature $220^{\circ}C$, 10% catalyst/PC mole ratio, 20 mmol of EC. BHE-BPA purity of better than 99% was achieved by crystallization of BHE-BPA.

Polycarbonates (PCs) with six different end capping agents were synthesized from melt polymerization. Chemical structure of the synthesized PC was determined by FT-IR spectroscopy. The average molecular weight and distribution, glass transition and thermal degradation temperatures were determined by GPC, DSC and TGA. Average molecular weight changed with the chemical structure of end capping agent, and 4-tert-butylphenol was estimated as the optimum end capping agent. The average molecular weights of PCs decreased with the concentration of the agent, the number average molecular weight was observed as 20,000 - 30,000 when 0.05-0.15 mol% of 4-tert-butylphenol added in PCs. The melt viscosities and glass transition temperature of the PCs decreased with molecular weight. The change for adding method of the agent affected on both the molecular weight distribution and decrease in power law index.

The effect of 1,3-dioxolane on the structural development in the optical polycarbonate film was studied. The 1,3-dioxolane was used as an environmental friendly solvent for manufacturing solution-cast polycarbonate film instead of methylene chloride. The evaporation rate in film drying process decreased due to the high boiling temperature of 1,3-dioxolane. This caused the crystallization in the polycarbonate film. As a result, The increase of crystallinity and roughness led to the decrease of light transmissivity. It was also found that the lowering of mechanical properties in polycarbonate film was attributed to the morphological change due to the solvent evaporation rate in film drying process.

We studied plasma etching of polycarbonate in $O_2/SF_6$, $O_2/N_2$ and $O_2/CH_4$. A capacitively coupled plasma system was employed for the research. For patterning, we used a photolithography method with UV exposure after coating a photoresist on the polycarbonate. Main variables in the experiment were the mixing ratio of $O_2$ and other gases, and RF chuck power. Especially, we used only a mechanical pump for in order to operate the system. The chamber pressure was fixed at 100 mTorr. All of surface profilometry, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used for characterization of the etched polycarbonate samples. According to the results, $O_2/SF_6$ plasmas gave the higher etch rate of the polycarbonate than pure $O_2$ and $SF_6$ plasmas. For example, with maintaining 100W RF chuck power and 100 mTorr chamber pressure, 20 sccm $O_2$ plasma provided about $0.4{\mu}m$/min of polycarbonate etch rate and 20 sccm $SF_6$ produced only $0.2{\mu}m$/min. However, the mixed plasma of 60 % $O_2$ and 40 % $SF_6$ gas flow rate generated about $0.56{\mu}m$ with even low -DC bias induced compared to that of $O_2$. More addition of $SF_6$ to the mixture reduced etch of polycarbonate. The surface roughness of etched polycarbonate was roughed about 3 times worse measured by atomic force microscopy. However examination with scanning electron microscopy indicated that the surface was comparable to that of photoresist. Increase of RF chuck power raised -DC bias on the chuck and etch rate of polycarbonate almost linearly. The etch selectivity of polycarbonate to photoresist was about 1:1. The meaning of these results was that the simple capacitively coupled plasma system can be used to make a microstructure on polymer with $O_2/SF_6$ plasmas. This result can be applied to plasma processing of other polymers.

퇴근길에 필요한 물품을 사려고 네이트 드라이브를 가동해 근처에 할인마트를 찾았다. 네이트 드라이브에서 제공하는 방향을 따라 할인마트에 들어섰다. 핸드폰에 메시지가 도착해서 보니 그 할인마트에서 사용할 수 있는 쿠폰이 문자메시지로 날라왔다. 쿠폰을 이용해 필요한 물건을 좀더 싸게 산 다음 다시 시계를 보니 중요한 TV 프로를 봐야할 시간이 얼마 안남았다. 차에 올라타고 다시 네이트 드라이브를 가동해 가장 빠른길 안내를 받아 가까스로 늦지않게 도착했다. 미래의 얘기가 아니다. 지금도 비슷한 서비스가 제공되고 있지만, 곧 지금보다 정확하고 편리한 서비스가 우리곁에 다가올 예정이다. 정부는 9월 14일 국무회의를 열어 소방관서 등 공공구조기관이 긴급 구조요청을 받을 경우 위치정보사업자에게 개인 위치정보의 제공을 요청할 수 있도록 하는 것 등을 주요 골자로 한‘위치정보의 이용 및 보호 등에 관한 법률안(이후 LBS법)’을 제정키로 했으며, 이 법안은 9월 20일 현재 정기국회 통과를 기다리고 있다. 또 최근에 위치정보에 관한 사건이 두 가지가 발생했다. 하나는 삼성SDI 근로자들이 자신도 모르게 휴대폰 위치확인서비스를 통해 감시를 받아왔다는 것이고, 또 하나는 조난당한 등산객의 위치확인을 하지 못해 끝내 숨지는 사고가 발생했다는 것이다. 위의 두 사건은 남의 일이 아닌 우리 자신들의 일이 될 수도 있는 것이다. 이슈가 되고 있는 LBS법의 의미와 이 법이 우리 생활에 어떻게 작용할 것인지에 대해 살펴보고자 한다

Over the past decade, there have been significant advancement in the field of electrospinning area. This study has focused on preparing yarn using polycarbonate (PC) nanofibers including modified multi-walled carbon nanotube (mMWNT) by solution electrospinning process using the mixture of solvents consisting of tretrahydronfuran (THF) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In order to enhance the dispersion, MWNT was chemically modified. TEM analysis for the prepared PC/mMWNT nanofibers reveals that mMWNT was well-dispersed into the PC nanofiber matrix. Also with increasing contents of mMWNT, thermal stability of PC/mMWNT nanofibers was improved than that of PC nanofibers. Moreover when 3 to 5 wt% of mMWNT was added, the nanofibers showed good electrical properties expecting antistatic effect, ranging 109.1~109.5 ${\Omega}$. It was confirmed that the multi-filament fibers using PC/mMWNT had $60{\sim}100{\mu}m$ in diameter and 4~5 cm in length.
