In the synthesis of water-based polyurethane using self-emulsification process, after being neutralized, polyurethane pre-polymers containing ionic pendant groups are dispersed by simple convective mixing. Preparation of dispersion is followed by chain extension reaction, which is considered as important step for growth of the molecular weight of polyurethane. In this work, pH variations in the aqueous phase were monitored during the chain extension process in the presence of water-soluble diamines. The optimum degree of chain extension and the average particle size in the polyurethane dispersions were examined with varying ionic pendent group contents, type of chain extenders, and feed rate of chain extenders, The initial pH value in the aqueous phase linearly increased and the optimum chain extension point could be obtained from the intersection of two linear lines having different slopes, All average particle sizes before chain extension reaction were almost same, however, the final average particle size increased as feed rates of chain extenders increased, In addition, as the ionic pendant group contents increased, the particle size decreased since the hydrophilicity and hydrodynamic volume increased. As carbon numbers of the chain extenders increased, the final particle size increased significantly. From the results, it was concluded that the chain extension reaction took place among the particles not only in a particle.

Isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI), polytetramethylene glycol 1000 (PTMG1000), and N-methyl diethanol amine (MDEA) were applied to prepare cationic polyurethane water dispersions (PUD). Various neutralizers and chain extenders were introduced in order to investigate property changes, such as particle size, viscosity, $T_g$, tensile strength, and water swellability, depending on chemical structure of those chemicals. While the PUDs neutralized by acetic acid showed a typical elastomeric behavior, the others used with hydrochloride presented crystalline behavior. Among chain extenders isophorone diamine (IPDA) provided the best mechanical property. The particle size of the PUD neutralized with HCl was smaller than that with acetic acid. It is believed that this is attributed to the size difference of counter ions. The PUD chain-extended with hydrazine had the smallest particle size.

In this paper, the mechanical property change was investigated by adding 1,4-butanediol as chain extender of polyurethane dispersion for leather coating. Reagents for the synthesis were polypropylene glycol(PPG), isoporon diisocyanate(IPDI), dimethylolpropionic acid(DMPA) and 1,4-BD. All samples showed good solvent resistance and flexibility by different content of the 1,4-BD. As results, samples which contains a lot of 1,4-BD showed good properties whth strength of $1.80kg_f/mm^2$ and abrasion test measurement of 49.54 mg.loss. According to elongation test, the sample which contains low amount of 1,4-BD was good property as 364 %.

In this study, polyurethane hot melt adhesive containing ester groups was synthesized. Three kinds of chain extenders were used to find out the best chain extender. Results showed that adhesive containing 1,4-butanediol as a chain extender exhibited the highest peel strength among them. Also, it was found that there existed the optimum molecular weight of 1,4-butanediol containing adhesive for make the highest peel strength.. Moreover, hot melt adhesive containing 1,4-butanediol chain extender was applied to various kinds of textiles substrate such as cotton, polyester, and urethane coated polyester textiles to study the effects of different substrates on the peel strength and water resistance at $60^{\circ}C$. It was found that cotton substrate showed the highest peel strength and urethane coated polyester substrate showed the highest resistance on $60^{\circ}C$ water.

In this study, waterborne polyurethanes were synthesized with poly(tetramethylene glycol) (PTMG), polycarprolactone PCL), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) and different molar ratio of chain extender. Particle size, polydispersity, thermal and mechanical properties of waterborne polyurethane were investigated. The particle size of waterborne polyurethane was in the range of 5∼200 nm and decreased with increasing the amounts of PCL and chain extender. Glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) were in the range of -70∼-45 ${\circ}C$ and increased with as PCL and chian extender (ED) contents increased. The $T_g$ of polyurethane prepared from the mixture showed similar trends as compared with those of in the same values of synthetic polyurethane using PTMG or PCL, respectively. Also, mechanical properties of mixed polyols (PTMG and PCL) were lower than those of PTMG and PCL, respectively.

This research was conducted in order to improve the hydrolysis resistance and mechanical properties of a resin compound and biodegradable mulching film, produced through the use of PBAT(Poly Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) and PLA(Poly Lactic Acid). Various ratios of chain extenders and mechanical properties according to the annealing temperature conditions were investigated. The annealing process showed that compound resin can improve the crystallization capacity. In addition, incorporation of the chain extender was shown to improve and increase the tensile strength and hydrolysis resistance of the film. In the case of 0.6phr chain extender, the tensile strength was 383.0Kgf/cm², which was improved by 155% compared to the control films. When the blow up ratio(BUR) was 2.5, the optimal tensile strength of the film increased greatly, expanding up to 379.0/195.2kgf/cm² in the both machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD).

Interpenetrating polymer networks(IPNs) composed of castor oil(CO) polyurethane(PU) and epoxy resin were prepared by the simultaneous polymerization technique. Two types of PU were prepared using 1,4-butanediol(BD) and BD/trimethylolpropane(TMP) as a chain extending agent and crosslinking agent. The PU/epoxy based on BD as a chain extending agent showed more shift in the damping peak than PU/epoxy based on BD/TMP as the PU content was increased. BDPU/epoxy simultaneous interpenetrating polymer networks(SINs) had a better compatibility than BD/TMP-PU/epoxy SINs. For both systems, it was postulated that unique network formation of PU/epoxy SINs as a chain extending agent and crosslinking agent had occurred to a significant extent of phase mixing. The types of chain extender in the PU were found to be an important factor in determining the phase mixing of the IPNs. When the BD/TMP-PU reaction was faster than epoxy network, the extent of phase mixing was retarded by decreasing entanglement of networks. It was found that both PU/epoxy SINs provided enhanced flexural properties and fracture toughness, fracture surfaces of BDPU/epoxy and BD/TMP-PU/epoxy SINs showed the localized shear deformation and generation of stress whitening associated with the cavitation.

Poly lactic acid(PLA) and poly butylene adipate-co-terephthalate(PBAT) film was prepared using a twin extruder. PLA (25%) and PBAT (75%) were mixed with various ratio of chain extenders, such as $Joncryl^{(R)}$ and hexamethylene diisocyanate(HDI) to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of produced bio composite films. Tensile strengths of films were steadily increased with increasing ratio of chain extender. The tensile strength of control films was about 25 MPa, and the tensile strength of films with combined chain extenders was above 40 MPa. The films with $Joncryl^{(R)}$ resulted in improved tensile strength, while the film with HDI alone showed improved percent elongation at break. By adding chain extenders into PLA/PBAT resin, the cold crystallization temperature (Tcc) and decomposition temperature (Td) of the produced bio composite films increased. It revealed that the addition of two types of chain extenders was efficient way to get PLA/PBAT film with improved strength and elongation.

In this study, We were studied on the properties of polyurethane elastomer containing the polyol, chain extender and isocyanate in polyurethane elastomer. Polyurethane elastomer had the best properties with poly(tetramethylene) glycol for in-line skate wheel. With more incorporation of chain extender content in polyurethane elastomer, tensile strength and hardness increased and elongation decreased. And then properties of polyurethane elastomer with the bulky type isocyanate had better than the flexible type isocyanate.

In an effort to increase effective action of enkephalins, several peptide inhibitors of enkephalin aminopeptidase have been synthesized. The peptides contain 3-amino-2-hydroxy amino acid as a zinc binding site and side chains of substrate pattern. The peptides were synthesized in solution by chain elongation from C-terminal end using DCC/HOBt as coupling reagent. The peptides are shown to have very strong inhibitory activity against enkephalin aminopeptidase.
