This study presents a facile way synthesizing disc-like lipid bilyaer nanostructures with a cationic amphiphilic polyelectrolyte. The cationic amphiphilic polyelectrolyte was in a form of partially quarternized copolymer and was synthesized with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and stearyl methacrylate. At some concentration ranges of the polymer, the addition of the polymer to lipid components during the preparation of bilayer nanostructures resulted in discs with a fairly high yield (~99%). The mechanism for the formation of the nanostructures was discussed based on the physical properties of these nanostructures and by comparing the nanostructures obtained with an anionic amphiphilic polyelectrolyte.

Conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDT) films with metalloporphyrins incorporated as the counter ions were prepared by electropolymerization of the monomer in the presence of metal-tetra(sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin anions. Cathodic reduction of oxygen on the resulting conducting polymer films was studied. The overpotential for O2 reduction on electrodes with cobalt-porphyrin complex was significantly smaller in acidic solutions than on gold. In basic solutions, the overpotential at low current densities was close to those on platinum and gold. Polymer electrode with Co-complex yielded higher limiting currents than with Fe-complex, although the Co-complex polymer electrode was a poorer electrocatalyst for O2 reduction in the activation range of potential than the Fe counterpart. From the rotating ring-disk electrode experiments, oxygen reduction was shown to proceed through either a 4-electron pathway or a 2-electron pathway. In contrast to the polypyr-role-based electrodes, the PEDT-based metalloporphyrin electrodes were stable with wider potential windows, including the oxygen reduction potential. Their electrocatalytic properties were maintained at temperatures up to 80℃ in KOH solutions.

계면활성제 거품(foam)을 아예 형성하지 못하거나 foam 지속도가 매우 낮은 양이온성 계면활성제의 foam 지속성을 높이는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 음이온성 계면활성제를 보조제로 첨가하는 방법, 콜로이드를 혼합하는 방법, 수용성 수지인 폴리비닐알콜을 첨가하는 방법 등 다양한 시도를 평가하였다. 각 5% 양이온성 계면활성제 용액의 foam 지속도를 평가한 결과, Cationic starch (CA-ST)는 foam이 전혀 발생되지 않았지만, Methyl triethanol ammonium methyl sulfate distearyl ester (CEQ90)의 foam 지속시간은 평균 46초, Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CM29)는 평균 31초로서 매우 낮았다. 음이온성 계면활성제 Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) 첨가는 양이온성 계면활성제의 종류에 따라 지속도가 매우 다르게 나타났다. Cationic starch (CA-ST)의 foam 지속도는 매우 크게 증가된 반면 CEQ90와 CM29는 오히려 감소되었다. 콜로이드($SiO_2$, kaolin) 혼합이 양이온성 계면활성제 foam 지속도에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과, CA-ST는 콜로이드 혼합시 foam이 전혀 발생되지 않았고, CEQ90과 CM29는 콜로이드를 주입하였을 경우 주입을 하지 않았을 때보다 지속도가 높아졌다. 수용성수지인 polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)첨가가 양이온성 계면활성제 foam 지속도에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과, CA-ST는 PVA혼합에서도 foam이 전혀 발생 되지 않았지만, CEQ90과 CM29는 PVA의 농도가 높을수록 foam 지속도가 증가하였다. 양이온성 계면활성제에 음이온성 계면활성제 SDS와 콜로이드를 동시에 첨가한 결과 콜로이드보다 음이온성 계면활성제에 의해 양이온성 계면활성제 foam 지속도가 결정되었다. 음이온성 계면활성제 SDS와 PVA를 동시에 첨가하여 평가한 결과 PVA보다 역시 음이온성 계면활성제에 의해 양이온성 계면활성제의 foam 지속도가 결정되었다. Foam을 전혀 형성하지 못했던 양이온성 계면활성제인 CA-ST는 음이온성 계면활성제 SDS 0.14%, PVA 2.5% 첨가 조건에서 foam 지속시간이 평균 8,780초로 획기적으로 증가하였고 타 양이온성 계면활성제 CEQ90 보다 약 8배 이상의 지속시간을 보여주었다. 본 연구결과 foam이 형성되지 않거나 지속시간이 매우 짧은 양이온성 계면활성제는 음이온성 계면활성제를 첨가할 경우 foam형성에 도움을 받을 수 있고 colloid 및 PVA 등의 보조를 통해 양이온성 계면활성제의 지속도를 혁신적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 양이온 계면활성제의 foam 지속도는 음이온성 계면활성제의 첨가농도에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 보인다.

Hexafluoropropylene(HFP) dimer와 trimer로 구성된 올리고머의 조성비, 반응온도 그리고 hexafluoropropylene oxide(HFPO) 투입속도가 HFPO 음이온 중합반응에 미치는 영향 등을 알아보았다. HFP 올리고머는 불화금속 CsF와 TG를 사용한 음이온 반응을 통해 합성하였고, CsF 5 g, TG 10 g 그리고 반응온도 $0^{\circ}C$에서 합성된 HFP 올리고머의 dimer 함량은 상대적으로 높은 35.1%를 나타내었다. HFPO 음이온 중합의 경우, 반응온도 $0^{\circ}C$, HFP dimer 35.1%를 포함하고 있는 올리고머와 HFPO 투입속도 1.85 g/min에서 Cs(HFPO)n 알콕사이드는 상대적으로 원활한 사슬성장을 하면서 중량평균 분자량 3600을 나타내었다. 반면, 반응온도 $10^{\circ}C$ 및 증가된 HFPO 투입속도에서는 알콕사이드의 $F^{{\delta}-}$의 이탈현상을 촉진시켜 중평균 분자량은 감소되었다. 결론적으로, HFP 올리고머를 용매로 사용한 HFPO 음이온 중합반응의 사슬성장 및 사슬전이는 용매의 조성, 반응온도 및 단량체의 투입속도에 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Polymer multilayered hydrogels were prepared on a titanium alloy (Ti) substrate using a layer-by-layer (LBL) process to load a cell growth factor. Two water-soluble polymers were used to fabricate the multilayered hydrogels, a phospholipid polymer with both N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) units and 4-vinylphenylboronic acid (VPBA) units [poly(MPC-co-DMAEMA-co-VPBA) (PMDV)], and the polysaccharide alginate (ALG). PMDV interacted with ALG through a selective reaction between the VPBA units in PMDV and the hydroxyl groups in ALG and through electrostatic interactions between the DMAEMA units in PMDA and the anionic carboxyl groups in ALG. First, the Ti substrate was covered with photoreactive poly vinyl alcohol, and then the Ti alloy was alternately immersed in the respective polymer solutions to form the PMDV/ALG multilayered hydrogels. In this multilayered hydrogel, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was introduced in different layers during the LbL process under mild conditions. Release of VEGF from the multilayered hydrogels was dependent on the location; however, release continued for 2 weeks. Endothelial cells adhered to the hydrogel and proliferated, and these corresponded to the VEGF release profile from the hydrogel. We concluded that multilayered hydrogels composed of PMDV and ALG could be loaded with cell growth factors that have high activity and can control cell functions. Therefore, this system provides a cell function controllable substrate based on the controlled release of biologically active proteins.

최근 내화학성, 내마모성 및 내충격성이 뛰어나면서 재활용이 가능한 열가소성 폴리아미드 기반 복합재료를 제조하는 기술을 개발하기 위한 연구가 활발하다. 특히, 열가소성 고분자는 높은 점도로 용융 상태에서의 가공이 힘들기 때문에 저점도 단량체 상태로 금형 내부로 주입하면서 동시에 중합을 시키는 반응액상성형 공정이 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 단량체인 ε-카프로락탐은 중합속도가 매우 빠르고 외부 환경에 매우 민감하기 때문에 수지 함침과 중합 반응을 동시에 제어하면서 최적 공정조건을 확보하는 데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ε-카프로락탐의 음이온 중합과정에서 주요한 공정 변수인 점도 변화 거동을 관찰하였고 ε-카프로락탐의 빠른 중합, 낮은 점도, 수분 민감성에 따른 측정상의 문제 원인을 분석하여 개선책을 제시하였다. 개선된 점도 측정 방법에 대한 재현성과 신뢰성은 여러 상대습도에 대한 점도 측정 그리고 외부 환경(수분, 산소)과 차단된 상황에서의 중합과 개선된 점도 측정 결과와의 비교를 바탕으로 검증하였으며, 이는 복합재료 반응액상성형 공정의 제어 인자로 활용함으로써 공정 최적화에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This study demonstrated the in-situ functionalization with polymers of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) via emulsion polymerization. Polystyrene-functionalized MWNTs were prepared in an aqueous solution containing styrene monomer, non-ionic surfactant and a cationic coupling agent ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trime-thylammonium chloride (MATMAC)). This process produced an interesting morphology in which the MWNTs, consisting of bead-string shapes or MWNTs embedded in the beads, when polymer beads were sufficiently large, produced nanohybrid material. This morphology was attributed to the interaction between the cationic coupling agent and the nanotube surface which induced polymerization within the hemimicellar or hemicylindrical structures of surfactant micelles on the surface of the nanotubes. In a solution containing MATMAC alone without surfactant, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were not well-dispersed, and in a solution containing only surfactant without MATMAC, polymeric beads were synthesized in isolation from CNTs and continued to exist separately. The incorporation of MATMAC and surfactant together enabled large amounts of CNTs (> 0.05 wt%) to be well-dispersed in water and very effectively encapsulated by polymer chains. This method could be applied to other well-dispersed CNT solutions containing amphiphilic molecules, regardless of the type (i.e., anionic, cationic or nonionic). In this way, the solubility and dispersion of nanotubes could be increased in a solvent or polymer matrix. By enhancing the interfacial adhesion, this method might also contribute to the improved dispersion of nanotubes in a polymer matrix and thus the creation of superior polymer nanocomposites.

A series of pH/temperature sensitive polymers were synthesized by copolymerizing N-isopro-pyl acrylamide(NIPAAm) and acrylic acid(AAc) . The influence of polyelectrolyte between poly(allyl amine) (PAA) and poly(L-lysine)(PLL) on the lower critical solution temperature(LCST) of pH/temperature sensitive polymer was compared in the range of pH 2∼12. The LCST of PNIPAAm/water in aqueous poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) solution was determined by cloud point measurements. A polyelectrolyte complex was prepared by mixing poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) with poly(allyl amine) (PAA) or poly(L-lysine) (PLL) solutions as anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes, respectively. The effect of polyelectrolyte complex formation on the conformation of PLL was studied as a function of temperature by means of circular dichroism(CD). The cloud points of PNIPAAm in the aqueous copolymers solutions were stongly affected by pH, the presence of polyelectrolyte solute, AAc content, and charge density. The polyelectrolyte complex was formed at neutral condition. The influence of more hydrophobic PLL as a polyelectrolyte on the cloud point of PNIPAAm in the aqueous copolymer solution was stronger than that of poly(allyl amine)(PAA). Although polymer-polymer complex was formed between poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) and PLL, the conformational change of PLL did not occur due to steric hinderance of bulky N-isopropyl groups of PNIPAAm.
