Solution polymerization was conducted with water-soluble methacrylic acid (MAA) as a monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator at a selected temperature between $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$. When the ratio between MAA and water was reduced or initiator concentration increased, molecular weights decreased. Molecular weights of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) showed nearly no dependence on reaction temperature. The Weissenberg effect was observed in most polymerization reactions, while its effect weakened at $90^{\circ}C$. The polydispersity index was less than 1.5 in most of the reactions. An increase in the stirring speed produced PMAAs with increasing molecular weights. When the stirring speed reached 800 rpm, we retrieved a monodisperse PMAA with both the number and weight average molecular weights of 791,000 g/mol. The glass transition temperature was found to be $162^{\circ}C$.

Solution polymerization was conducted with water-soluble acrylic acid (AA) as a monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator at a selected temperature between $60^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ with water as a reaction medium. When the ratio between AA and water was reduced or initiator concentration increased, molecular weights decreased. An increase in the reaction temperature produced lower molecular weights. The polydispersity index was close to 1.5 in most of the reactions. An increase in the stirring speed up to 400 rpm led to a progressive increase in molecular weights. When the stirring speed reached 800 rpm, however, we found that both the number and weight average molecular weights decreased. The glass transition temperature was nearly independent of moelcular weights and determined to be between $113^{\circ}C$ and $116^{\circ}C$.

Lithium secondary battery with gel polymer electrolyte, which was composed of POAGA and TEGDMA, was prepared and its cell performances were evaluated. Collation time decreased with increasing the contents of the monomer in the POAGA-based gel polymer electrolyte. The polymer electrolyte was stable up to 4.5V electro-chemically and its ionic conductivity was $5.2\times10^{-3}Scm^{-1}$ at room temperature. The lithium-ion polymer battery with $3.0wt\%$ curable monomer and $1.0wt\%$ monomer showed rate-capability, low-temperature performance and cycleability.

Based on the results of graft copolymerization to proteins, an attempt is made to derive the rate equations to explain the mechanism of Ce(IV) ion-initiated graft copolymerizations. In this system the oxidative termination by Ce(IV) $[R{\cdot}+ Ce(IV) ${\rightarrow}$ R(inert) + Ce(III) + H^+]$ is considered characteristic particularly in higher concentration of Ce(IV) ion. The change in the mode of termination reactions with change in Ce(IV) ion concentration makes possible the presence of an optimum Ce(IV) ion concentration for maximum graft copolymerization yield. This effect is reflected in presently derived equations.

The copolymerization of N-acryloylpyrrolidone and acrylonitrile was performed in N,N'-dimethylformamide at 50$^{\circ}$C and monomer reactivity ratio was obtained by using IR working curve and Fineman and Ross equation. ($r_1$ = 0.43, $r_2$ = 1.56) It is found that resulting copolymer is good polymeric initiator for anionic graft copolymerization of 2-pyrrolidone. Graft copolymers with polybutylamide (nylon-4) grafts onto poly(NAP-Co-AN) backbone were synthesized and the various effects on the graft copolymerization of 2-pyrrolidone were examined. The rate constants ($K_p$) of graft anionic polymerization at 40 and 50$^{\circ}$C were 2.82${\times}$10 and 2.93${\times}$10(l/mole, min), respectively.

A suspension copolymerization of styrene and butyl methacrylate (BMA) in the aqueous phase was conducted at a selected temperature between 65 and $95^{\circ}C$. Hydrophobic silica was selected as a stabilizer and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. Optimum dispersion of silica in water was obtained at pH 10 while polymerization reaction was run at pH 7. TGA and EDS measurements revealed that 90% of silica functioned as a stabilizer and 10% were incorporated into polymeric particles. Average particle diameter decreased with increasing amounts of stabilizer. Molecular weights displayed an increase when the stabilizer concentration reached 1.67 wt%. An increase in the initiator concentration and/or reaction temperature raised the reaction rate but decreased molecular weights. Particle diameter was nearly independent of the initiator concentration and reaction temperature. An increase in the BMA proportion decreased the glass transition temperature and increased the particle diameter with irregularity in shape. Incorporation of carbon black into the particles composed of styrene and BMA prolonged the reaction time before reaching completion. We have confirmed that a suspension copolymerization of styrene and BMA with hydrophobic silica as a stabilizer can produce spherical composite particles with $1-30{\mu}m$ in diameter containing carbon black.

오존은 PE나 고무 등 고분자재료(高分子材料)의 표면(表面)에 존재하는 이중결합(二重結合)에 대(對)하여 친전자적부가반응(親電子的付加反應)으로 ozonide가 생성되고 이어서 제(第)3급(級) 수소(水素)를 공격하므로서 주쇄(主鎖)가 절단된다. 따라서 aldehyde, ketone 등의 carbonyl 화합물(化合物)이 생성된다. 이들이 재료표면(材料表面)의 굴곡변형(變形)의 증가에 따라 열(熱) 또는 공(光)에 의하여 다시 분해(分解)를 촉진시킨다. 2개(個)의 N분자(原子)에 방향족(芳香族) 및 지방족기(脂肪族基)를 각각 치환시킨 p - phenylene diamine 유도체(誘導體) 등과 같은 전자공흥성(電子供與性)이 큰 화합물(化合物)은 친전자적(親電子的)인 오존과 우선적으로 3급(級) 수소에 비하면 약 100 배(倍)로 반응성이 크다는것을 표(表)3으로 알수 있다. 미단이중결합(未端二重結合)에 대한 오존과의 반응은 다음 반응식과 같이 이중결합(二重結合)에 오존의 부가반응(付加反?)으로 개시(開始)되어 peroxi methylene이 유리되면서 미단(未端)은 aldehyde로 변화한다. 또 1개의 반응은 제(第)3급(級) 탄소-수소 결합에 오존이 삽입되고 계속 일어나는 분해반응으로서 hydroperoxide의 생성 및 탈염화수소(脫鹽化水素)반응이 일어난다. 이와같은 반응(反?)으로 생성(生成)된 내부(內部) 이중결합(二重結合)에 대한 오존의 반응은 olefin의 경우와 마찬가지로 molozonide나 ozonide의 과정을 거쳐 주쇄(主鎖)가 개열(開裂)되는 것이다.

The Graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile(AN) and styrene(ST) onto chloroprene rubber(CR) were carried out with benzoyl peroxide(BPO) as an initiator. The synthesized graft copolymer(ACS) was separated from polymeric mixture by the extraction with ethyl acetate and n-hexane, acetone and methanol, dimethylformamide(DMF) and methanol mixed solvent systems. The graft copolymer obtained, acrylonitrile-chloroprene-styrene(ACS) was identified by IR spectrophotometer. The effect of mole ratio of styrene to acrylonitrile, reaction time and temperature, initiator concentration, CR content and solvents on graft copolymerization were examined. It was observed that the grafting efficiency increased with [ST]/[AN] mole ratio and reaction time. The grafting efficiency increased with increasing initiator concentration and CR content. The maximum grafting efficiency was obtained when the mole ratio of [ST]/[AN] was 1.5 and reaction was made at 40hrs, and $70^{\circ}C$ using chloroform/toluene mixed solvent. The thermal properties, light resistance and flammability of ACS were compared with those of ABS and AES. It was found that flame retardancy of related polymers increased in the order ACS>ABS>AES. The thermal stability of ACS was greatly improved when compared with ABS or AES. Morphology of ACS was also investigated by using a transmisson electron microscope(TEM).

장경비가 큰 탄화규소를 탄소와 규소간의 고온연소반응으로 제조하기 위하여 공정변수에 따른 연소거동과 미세조직의 변화를 조사하였다. 연소합성된 생성물은 주로 $\beta$-SiC이며 연소반응이 충분히 진행되지 못하였을 경우에는 미량의 잔류 반응물과 $\alpha$-SiC가 관찰되었다. 생성된 탄화규소의 평균입도는 약 5$\mu\textrm{m}$로 작았으며, $1300^{\circ}C$ 이상의 예열 조건에서 장경비가 30이상인 탄화규소를 합성할 수 있었다. 압분 강도가 69MPa인 분말의 성형체에서 평균 연소 온도와 평균 전파 속도는 각각 약 $1425^{\circ}C$와 2.1mm/sec 범위이며, 연소 온도는 흑연 분말을 사용하였을 경우가 탄소 섬유를 사용한 경우보다 약 $10^{\circ}C$ 높았다. 연소 반응을 임의로 중단시킨 시편의 계면을 EDX와 Auger 전자 현미경으로 분석한 결과 상호 확산층이 관찰되지 않았다. 이는 탄화규조의 연소합성이 용해-석출 모델에 의하여 진행됨을 시사한다. 예열 온도에 따른 연소 반응 중의 온도 분포를 유한 요소법으로 해석함으로써 $2500^{\circ}C$의 초기 연소 개시 온도에 대하여 예열 온도 $300^{\circ}C$에서는 연소파가 거의 전파할 수 없으며 예열 온도가 $1300^{\circ}C$에서는 시료 내부에 자체 전파가 가능한 $2000^{\circ}C$이상의 온도 구역이 존재함을 알았다.

Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) based on 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA)/acrylic acid (AA) copolymer was synthesized using different photoinitiators. Results showed that PSA with Irgacure$^{(R)}$651 (benzyldimethylketal) and Irgacure$^{(R)}$184(1-hydroxy-cyclohexylphenyl ketone) proved to be good for adhesion properties. This may be attributed to strong absorption near 350 nm wavelength and also high solubility in monomer mixtures. The addition of Irgacure$^{(R)}$819, bisacylphosphine oxides as a photoinitiator caused cohesive failure with high loading in a peel test owing to the additional radical formation. It is assumed that the insoluble photoinitiator reacts with oxygene, which may act as a hydrogen donor.
