폴리에스테르/폴리아미드의 블렌드는 두 고분자의 단점을 상호 보완할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 조성비에 의해 원하는 물성을 부여할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이들 블렌드 중에서 폴리(에틸렌 테레프탈레이트)(PET)/폴리아미드(PA)의 블렌드의 경우 일반적인 폴리에스테르계의 블렌드에서 일어나는 에스테르 교환반응과 마찬가지로 에스테르-아미드 교환반응이 일어나며 이를 이용하여 두 고분자간의 상용성을 향상시키려는 연구가 보고된 바 있다. (중략)

In this research of biodegradable polymers, it is essential to investigate the relation between biodegradability and molecular structure such as chemical constitution, hydrophilicity, molecular weight, crystallinity, chain orientation, and so on. It is also expected that hydrophilicity of polymer can affect biodegradability because biodegradation occurs with the help of enzymes and microorganisms. This study is to investigate the effect of hydrophilicity on biodegradability of polyesters. Hydrophilicity was varied by adding 5~30 mol% of amide groups, since amide groups are hydrophilic and used for improving thermal and mechanical properties. Surface energies and nitrogen contents by ESCA were measured to determine their hydrophilicity. The biodegradation was examined in activated sludge, enzyme and natural soil by $CO_2$evolution, TOC, weight loss, and observation through microscopy. The results showed that hydrophilicity of polyesteramide films increased with the addition of amide, PBAD series of shorter methylene units showed maximum hydrophilicity at 15~20 mol% of amide contents, but PBSE exhibited maximum values at 5~15 mol% of amide contents. The biodegradability increased as the hydrophilicty on surface increased. The biodegradation rate of PBAD series was higher than that of PBSE series. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of appropriate contents of hydrophile enhanced the biodegradability of aliphatic polyesters as well as their physical properties. Also, the experimental results revealed the relation between hydrophilicity and biodegradability of polyesteramides.

Liquid crystalline aromatic polyesters (LCPs) are representative examples of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers, whose structure-property relationships have been the subject of many researches. In this study, we synthesized organo-soluble liquid crystalline aromatic polyesters, and their composites with acetylene-terminated thermoset resins were prepared and characterized. Soluble LCPs were synthesized by employing 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and 4-aminophenol as monomers via condensation polymerization based on transesterfication and transamidation. Acetylene-terminated thermoset resins were synthesized by the reaction of 4-ethynylaniline with terephthaloyl dichloride, isophthaloyl dichloride or 4,4'-biphenyldicarbonyl dichloride. We prepared the soluble LCP/thermoset composites by solution blending followed by thermal treatment. The thermal stability, thermal expansion coefficient, and dielectric properties of the composite were studied.

20세기는 여러 분야에서의 발명과 발견으로 오늘날의 과학기술시대를 발전시켰다. 특히 석유화학을 축으로 한 고분자 재료와 기능성 고분자 재료 제품의 개발로 풍요로운 생활을 이루었으나, 한편으로는 환경과 에너지는 심각한 문제를 남긴 채 오늘에 이르렀다. 섬유분야에서도 기능성 섬유가 개발되었지만 폴리아미드와 폴리에스테르가 아직도 큰 비중을 갖고 지배하고 있다. (중략)
