기존의 광중합기는 높은 광강도를 제공함으로써 광중합 복합레진을 최대한 단축된 시간내의 중합을 목표로 하였다. 이러한 높은 광강도는 복합레진의 중합깊이, 중합률면에서는 우수하나 중합 반응속도가 빠름으로 인해 중합시 응력 발생이 높아진다는 일련의 보고가 있다. 최근에는 광중합 속도를 늦춤으로써 변연적합도 및 중합시 응력 발생을 낮추는 새로운 중합방법들이 제시되고 있다. 이에 본 실험에서는 광조사 강도의 변화가 광중합 복합레진의 중합반응 과정에 미치는 영향 및 중합된 복합레진의 중합률에 대한 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 5개의 혼합형 광중합 복합레진 (Z-100, Spectrum, Z-250, Clearfil AP-X, P-60)을 사용하였으며 중합시 적용된 광조사 강도에 따라 6개의 실험군으로 정의하였다. 실험군과 이에 따른 광조사 방법은 다음과 같다. 1군은 110mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 40초 중합, 2군 210mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 40초 중합, 3군 410mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 40초 중합, 4군 620mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 40초 중합, 5군 110mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 10초 중합 후 1분 뒤 620mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 30초 중합, 6군 210mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 10초 중합 후 1분 뒤 410mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 30초 중합하였다. 광중합시 중합 반응 양상에 관한 분석은 시차주사 열계량기를 이용하여 37$^{\circ}C$ 항온상태에서 10분간의 열흐름곡선을 기록하였다. 기록된 열흐름곡선에서 중합 반응시 나타나는 중합열 및 최대 중합열에 이르는 시간을 기록하여 중합반응 속도를 측정하였다. 중합된 복합레진의 중합률은 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer(FTIR)를 이용하였으며 2mm 두께의 복합레진 하방에서의 중합률을 측정하였다. 측정된 결과는 ANOVA 및 Student-Newman-Keuls 방법을 이용하여 유의성을 검증하였다. 실험결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 광중합 복합레진 중합시 광조사 강도가 증가할수록 중합열은 증가하였으나 통계적 유의성은 보이지 않았다 (p>0.05). 2. 최대 중합열에 이르는 시간은 광조사 강도가 증가할수록 단축되었다. 이단계 중합방법을 사용한 경우 중합반응 속도를 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 3. 광조사 강도가 증가할수록 중합률은 증가하였다. 이단계 중합방법을 사용한 경우 연속적인 고광강도를 사용한 경우와 유사한 높은 중합률을 보였다. 4. 중합률면에서 광중합복합레진의 중합시 400mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 이상의 광강도가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by cobalt(II) chloride in tetrahydrofuran has been studied. The conversion was increased liearly with polymerization time at initial stage of 6${\sim}$7% conversion and then the rate of polymerization was slightly reduced, and after that the autoacceleration was observed. The rate of polymerization was increased with the concentration of cobalt(Ⅱ) chloride, but at the concentration of cobalt(II) chloride higher than $3.4{\times}10^{-4}$ mole/l the rate of polymerization was decreased. The rate of polymerization was dependent on the 1.38 power of the concentration of methyl methacrylate. The effect of the radical inhibitor DPPH was observed and the inhibition time was increased with the concentration of DPPH. The apparent overall activation energy was calculated to be 13.2 kcal/mole. In the copolymerization of methyl methacrylate ($M_1$) and styrene ($M_2$), the monomer reactivity ratio was found to be $r_1$ = 2.35, $r_2$ = 0.78. From the above results. the initiation mechanism of polymerization was discussed and it was considered that the polymerization proceeds mainly via diradical mechaism.

This study investigated the effect of intermittent polymerization on the rate of polymerization shrinkage and cuspal deflection in composite resins. The linear polymerization shrinkage of each composite was measured using the custom-made linometer along with the light shutter specially devised to block the light at the previously determined interval. Samples were divided into 4 groups by light curing method; Group 1) continuous light (60s with light on); Group 2) intermittent light (cycles of 3s with 2s light on & 1s with light off for 90s): Group 3) intermittent light (cycles of 2s with 1s light on & 1s with light off for 120s); Group 4) intermittent light (cycles of 3s with 1s light on & 2s with light off for 180s). The amount of linear polymerization shrinkage was measured and its maximum rate (Rmax) and peak time (PT) in the first 15 seconds were calculated. For the measurement of cuspal deflection of teeth, MOD cavities were prepared in 10 extracted maxillary premolars. Reduction in the intercuspal distance was measured by the custom-made cuspal deflection measuring machine. ANOVA analysis was used for the comparison of the light curing groups and t-test was used to determine significant difference between the composite resins. Pyramid showed the greater amount of polymerization shrinkage than Heliomolar (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the linear polymerization shrinkage among the groups. The Rmax was group 4 < 3, 2 < 1 in Heliomolar and group 3 < 4 < 2, 1 in Pyramid (p < 0.05). Pyramid demonstrated greater cuspal deflection than Heliomolar. The cuspal deflection in Heliomolar was group 4 < 3 < 2, 1 and group 4, 3 < 2, 1 in Pyramid (p < 0.05). It was concluded that the reduced rate of polymerization shrinkage by intermittent polymerization can help to decrease the cuspal deflection.

Recently, the velocity stack domain is having an attention as a very useful domain for various processing in seismic data processing. In order to be used in many applications, the velocity stack should be obtained through an inversion method and the used inversion should have properties like the robustness to noise and the parsimony of velocity stack result. Iteratively Reweighted Least-Squares (IRLS) method is the one of the inversion methods that have such properties. This paper describes the theoretical background, implementation of the method, and examines the characteristics and limits of the IRLS method.

The synthesis of pyrrolidone-N-sulfonyl chloride has been carried out by the reaction of pyrrolidone with sulfuryl chloride in benzene. It was attempted to study the catalytic effect of pyrroldone-N-sulfonyl chloride as an initiator for anionic polymerization of pyrrolidone. It was found that as a concentration of initiator decreased, inherent viscosity of the resulting polymer increased up to 1.8 dl/g. The highest rate of polymerization and equilibrium conversion was observed when mole ratio of PNSC to KOH was 0.25. In general, the observed value of polymerization and equilibrium conversion in circumstances using PNSC/KOH catalysis system were higher than using $CO_2$/KOH catalysis system.

Effects of modification of silver nanoparticles on the polymerization rate and morphology of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/silver microspheres prepared by suspension polymerization of MMA were investigated. The silver nanoparticles and their surface hydrophilicity played an important role in the polymerization rate and the morphology of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/silver microspheres. The polymerization rate increased slightly with modified silver nanoparticles. PMMA/silver microspheres with conversion up to 85% were obtained in spite of the low polymerization temperature. Due to the change of hydrophilicity of silver nanoparticles, different appearances of the microspheres having golf ball-like convex surfaces or concave surfaces were observed. As the hydrophilicity of silver was decreased, stable nanocomposites were prepared.

The kinetics of photoinitiated polymerization of reactive oligomer methacrylates and oligomer methacrylate/SBS blends have been studied to characterize the diffusion-controlled reaction using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy-Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR-FTIR). The polymerization rates of reactive oligomer methacrylates and oligomer methacrylate/SBS blends were autocatalytic in nature at the initial stage and then a retardation of the reaction conversion occurred gradually as the polymer matrix became vitrified, and finally the reaction became diffusion controlled. Photopolymerization behavior of methacrylate/SBS blends was well predicted using the diffusion-controlled reaction model. N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NVP) as a reactive solvent was used to incorporate SBS into methacrylate to form semi-IPN via photopolymerization. Due to the high reactivity of NVP, polymerization rate increased with the increase of NVP content. As the content of NVP-SBS in the blends increased up to 10 phr, the reaction conversion maintained almost constant. But above 20 phr of NVP-SBS in the blends, the reaction conversion gradually decreased since the increase of viscosity affected on the photopolymerization rate. The semi-IPN films of methacrylate/SBS blends were transparent at room temperature as well as at increased temperature and were able to be applied to surface coating.

For the elastic migation, the velocity errors between the initial velocity model and true velocity model seriously affect the migrated images. The assumption of an initial velocity model, thus, is one of the critical factor for the successful migration. In case of applying the layered earth model as an initial velocity model, the layer boundary having large velocity contrast can not be defined well with conventional traveltime calculation algolithms and we have the difficulties for expressing the characteristics of the real subsurface. Smooth Background Model (SBM) we have applied as an initial velocity model in our study is characterized to be linearly varying the velocity with the depth, which can express the velocity variation in the subsurface properly. Thus it can properly be applied to traveltime calculation algolithms such as Vidale's method. In this study, Kirchhoff operator for prestack migration was used and the absolute amplitude obtained by modeling was applied as a weighted value to consider the true amplitude for initial model. Initial velocity model for migration was determined by using stacking velocity and we applied this model to real data.

The initiation mechanism of trioxane polymerization catalyzed by Ti$Cl_4$ in nitrobenzene was investigated. The kinetic studies revealed that the rate of polymerization was drastically decreased by the addition of a minute amount of water or methanol. A third substance as cocatalyst was not required for the polymerization. Measurements of dielectric constants gave no evidence for the zwitterionic mechanism of the polymerization. The electric conductivity measurements of polymerization system and the initiator solution showed that the initiation was started by Ti$Cl_3^+$ cation, formed by a disproportionation of the initiator in nitrobenzene.
