고분자 시스템에서 동역학은 열역학적 평형상태에 도달하는 메카니즘을 밝히는 중요한 분야이다. 용융 고분자에 비해 상대적으로 블록 공중합체 마이셀에 대한 동역학 연구는 실험적 한계와 이론적 배경의 부재로 인해 충분한 연구가 이루어지지 못하였다. 하지만, 최근 TR-SANS를 이용하여 고분자 마이셀의 동역학 연구가 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 마이셀 동역학과 관련하여 현재까지 이루어진 연구 결과도 충분히 중요한 통찰력을 제시해주고 있지만, 아직 개척되지 못한 부분이 많이 남아있는 것도 사실이다. TR-SANS의 개념은 고분자 마이셀 뿐만 아니라 다양한 고분자 시스템에 적용할 수 있고, 더 나아가 Neutron Reflectivity에 적용할 경우 박막 내에서 고분자의 동역학도 연구할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한, TR-SANS 개념은 고분자 동역학 연구 분야 외에도 의학/생명공학 등 넓은 분야에서 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The micelle process was developed for pre-purifying paclitaxel from plant cell cultures of Taxus chinensis, giving a high purity and yield. The approach in this work was to transfer paclitaxel in the crude extract to an aqueous surfactant solution as a micelle, allowing organic solvents to be used for removal of lipids and non-polar impurities. In this work, the effects of various surfactants such as CPC, CTMAC, LTMAC, SDS, AOT, Tween, PEG, and Triton were examined on the yield, purity, and phase separation time in micelle process. Among these surfactants, CTMAC (5%, w/v) gave the best result in terms of paclitaxel yield (${\sim}99%$), purity (${\sim}21%$), and phase separation time (30 min). The use of micelles in the pre-purification process allows for rapid and efficient separation of paclitaxel from interfering compounds and dramatically increases the yield and purity of crude paclitaxel for subsequent purification steps.

micellar solution which is comprised of surfactant monomers, monodisperse micelles, and solvent(water) is studied from a statistical-mechanical point of view. The model examined in this article is for the ideal mixture of monomers, micelles, and solvent with the dielectric constant identical to that of solvent, which is an assumption common to continuum models. The model also reflects interactions between monomer and solvent molecule, and also between micelle and solvent molecule. The statistical-mechanical model under consideration yields ln $X_{CMC}=A+BT+C/T+D{\ln}T$ with $X_{CMC}$ being critical mcielle concentration (in mole fraction), being temperature, and A, B, C, D being constants which depend on the properties of the surfactant molecules. The statistical-mechanical model discussed in this article provides a theoretical basis on the thermal dependence of critical micelle concentration

Micelles have been used in many applications. In these applications it is of prime importance to know how the critical micelle concentration (CMC), above which the micelles are formed, depends on temperature. Up to date polynomial functions of temperature have been used to describe temperature dependence of CMC. In this article it is shown that such polynomials are inadequate tools to express thermal behavior of CMC. Hence, new equations of CMC(T) have been derived on the basis of rigorous thermodynamic equations and experimental observations on CMCs. The new equations fit CMC data excellently, and further they lead to a power law for the CMC. The exponent of the power-law expression is 2 irrespective of surfactant systems, which points to the generality of newly found equations.

Dependence of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) on temperature is examined from a statistical-mechanical point of view. A simple and primitive model examined in this article yields ln CMC= A+BT+C/T+D ln T with T being temperature and A, B, C, D being constants depending on the properties of the surfactant molecules which comprise the micelles. The resulting equation combines Muller's and Lim's equations, which have already been proven to fit well measured CMC data with temperature. The statistical-mechanical model on micellization discussed in this article provides a theoretical basis on these equations.

Polymeric micellar enhanced ultrafiltration method using a new type of polyrmer, $\alpha$-allyl-$\omega$-methoxy polyoxyethlene and maleic anhydride copolymer (AKM-0531, Mw 15, 000), has been proposed to separate 1-naphthylamine as a weak cationic toxic organic solubilizate. Enhancement effect of polymeric micelle was identified by the ultrafiltration runs using polyacryronitrile(PAN) holow fiber membrane with molecular weight cut off 6, 000. The linear dependance of flux on the pressure difference is shown to be valid up to 0.6kg/${cm}^2$ and the rate of flux increase in response to change in the pressure is gradually reduced under the pressure difference. Rejection of 0.96 was observed for f mM of 1-naphthylamine with 2 wt.% polymer solution at the conditions of 0.4kg/${cm}^2$, natural pH. and $25^{\circ}C$ Solubilization of 1-naphthylamine into the polymeric micelle enhanced the separation efficiency.

The sizes and structure of micelles and vesicles formed in ammonium dodecyl sulfate (ADS)/octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (OTAC) mixed aqueous solutions were analyzed by small-angle neutron scattering. In micellar regions of pure ADS and OTAC aqueous solution, the spherical micelles were formed at given concentrations and their sizes were 40 and $61{\AA}$, respectively. The structure transition of pure micelles occurred above 300 mM due to the constancy of the intermicellar distance above 250 mM. The coexisting region of mixed micelles and vesicles in phase diagram of mixed system was also assured. It was investigated that vesicle formed spontaneously took a bilayer structure. The lamellar thickness of vesicles decreased with increasing concentration of vesicle samples. However, the size could not be determined for mixed micelle and vesicle above 100 nm due to limitation of low q ranges. Finally, The 9 mM solution of ADS mole fraction 0.9 (${\alpha}$=0.9) showed bilayer structure compared to phase diagram classified into mixed micelle.

The interaction between poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) of positive charge per repeating unit and anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been investigated by light scattering, turbidimetry and fluorescence. Chain behavior of PDADMAC in 0.3 M NaCl aqueous solution seems like neutral polymer chain In good solvent. By adding SDS into PDADMAC solution, strong attractive interaction develops between them, and can be described with two kinds of critical aggregation concentration(CAC). First, at [SDS]/]DADMAC] 0.06, intramolecular critical micellization of SDS occurs inside a single polymer chain. The maximum size of SDS-polymer complex is observed just before intramolecular CAC. Above intramolecular CAC, the size of this complex starts to shrink slowly due to involvement of polymer subchain in micelle. Second, intermolecular CAC is also observed at [SDS]/[DADMAC] 0.5 by means of turbidimetry. Strong aggregation of polymer chains decorated with many micelles occurs after the second CAC, and huge aggregates have formed.
