We have synthesized ABC linear triblock copolymers, i.e., polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polylactide, via sequential anionic and ring-opening polymerizations. In the first anionic polymerization step, styrene was polymerized in cyclohexane using sec-butyllithium as the initiator. Poly (styryl) lithium was hydroxylated by the addition of ethylene oxide, and the subsequent protonation with methanolic HCl. In the second anionic polymerization step, potassium naphthalenide was used to deprotonate the hydroxyl group of the PS to generate the macroinitiator of PS-$O^-K^+$. Polymerization of ethylene oxide was performed in THF and terminated with methanolic HCl. In the ring-opening polymerization step, the PS-b-PEO-$AlEt_2$ macroinitiator was prepared from an $AlEt_3$/pyridine system in THF, and the polymerization of lactide was performed at $90^{\circ}C$. The resulting block copolymers showed well-defined molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions as revealed by $^1H$- NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

결정성 고분자/비결정성 고분자/충격보강재의 조합으로 이루어진 열가소성 삼성분계 블렌드의 미세구조 조절이 기계적 및 열적 거시물성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 결정성 고분자로는 나일론6를 비결정성 고분자로는 변성폴리페닐린 옥사이드(PPO)를 충격 보강재 로는 스티렌-에틸렌부틸렌-스티렌(SEBS) 삼중블록 공중합체를 사용하였고 비상용인 나일 론6와 변성 PPO 사이의 상용화를 위해 반능 상용화(reactive compatibilization)방법을 사용 하였다. 반응 사용화에 사용된 반응기로는 나일론의 말단기에 있는 친핵성기인 아민기와 반 응성이 높은 친전자성기인 무수말레인산(MAH)을 충격보강 고부 SEBS에 그라프트시켜 충 격보강 고무내의 SEBS-MAH의 함량을 증가시킴에 따라 처음에 PPO 분산상에 있던 고무 가 나일론 연속상으로 이동하는 현상을 관찰하였다. 이러한 충격보강 고부의 SEBS-MAH 함량 증가에 의한 PPO 분산상에서 나일론상으로의 이동이 내충격성의 향상 및 내열성의 저 하와 밀접한 관계가 있다는 것을 알았다.

Graphene oxide (GO)/carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (XSBR) nanocomposites with various contents of GO were prepared by a latex compounding method. It has been confirmed that the functional groups of GO and the hydrogen bonds between GO and XSBR are existed. It can be seen that the scorch time ($t_{s2}$), which is the measurement of incipient vulcanization of rubber, showed a delay after the addition of GO. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was employed to confirm the uniform dispersion of filler in the matrix. Indeed, with increasing fillers loading, the torque, tensile strength, thermal stability and crosslink density of obtained nanocomposites were improved. These results were correlated to the better dispersion of fillers through the rubber matrix.

To separate carbon dioxide from a flue gas, membranes for gas separation was fabricated from polystyrene-b-polybutadiene (SB) diblock copolymer blends with poly(phenylene oxide), PPO. SB diblock copolymer formed miscible blends with PPO in the experimental range (lower than or equal to 70 wt% PPO). When the blend contained PPO whose composition is in the range of 40-50 wt%, the discontinuous phase of polybutadiene block in SB diblock copolymer, was changed to discrete phase, while polystyrene blocks containing PPO was changed to the continuous phase. A sudden decrease of the gas permeability and a sudden increase of the gas selectivity was observed at these blend compositions. A gas separation membranes having excellent mechanical properties and exhibiting advantages in gas permeability and selectivity could be fabricated from blends containing more than 50 wt% PPO.
