This paper is to review and study about the crystallization nucleating agent to improve the heat-resistance properties of poly(lactic acid). Four sub-micron sized nucleating agents, metallic salts of 2,2'-methylene bis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenol), were prepared and used as a crystallization nucleating agent. Thermal and mechanical properties of polymer compounds were investigated by DSC, HDT and UTM. As the results, While the heat-resistance properties of the polymer compound samples were increased linearly with the contents of nucleating agent as well as their smaller size. Among them, the highest heat-resistance property of compound was observed with 2 wt% of MPZ2. HDT values of PL98Z2 compound was $116^{\circ}C$ at 0.455Mpa.

In this paper, We examine that characteristics of formative electret with polymer film and electric charge storage using grid corona discharge. compound polymer of fluorine resin used for material in electret because of high electric charge accumulation, excellent electrical and physical characteristic. All experiments were carried out with circular samples of $Teflon^(R)FEP$ film, 12.5[${\mu}m$] thick. As experiment variables, we used voltage, electrode thickness, discharge electrode gap, and discharge time. According to this variables, we studied on characteristics of formative electret and electric charge storage. Additionally we make a comparative study of the result between the grid corona discharge and needle electrode discharge.

For high voltage XLPE power cables, semiconducting layers have been applied to prevent discharge at the interface between conductor and insulation, and/or insulation and external shielding layer. The semiconducting layers may be also effective to release electrical stress in the interface. The property of semiconducting layers are significantly related to the quality and reliability of power cables. Generally, these semiconducting layers are formed by extruding, the conductibility of the material is given by the carbon black mixed with base polymer. The life of power cables is depended on the smoothness of the interface between insulation and semiconducting layer. If the smoothness is no good, the life of power cables is shorter because the electrical stress and water tree is increased. The causes of no good smoothness are the void of the interface, the protrusions, the contaminants and impurities of the semiconducting layer. The selection and dispersion of the Carbon Black is the significant factor to determine the life of power cable in the manufacturing of semiconducting compound.

In this study, we synthesized a new fluorescent polypyridyl dye 2 containing a 2,2'-bipyridine in the center and two 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines at both ends. When exposed to various metal ions, the dye 2 showed selective fluorescence responses. In the presence of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$, it exhibited a highly effective fluorescence quenching, leading to large $K_{sv}$ values of up to $10^5$. In response to most other metal ions including $Al^{3+}$, in contrast, its fluorescence changes little, showing a small Ksv value at $10^2$. Meanwhile, the compound 2 revealed a differentiated fluorescence response to $Zn^{2+}$, which is evidenced by a large red shift of > 100 nm. Such a red shift from the ion binding is attributed to the planarization of the bipyridyl unit extending the effective conjugation length in conjunction. A polypyridyl compound will find important usefulness in chemosensor application due to its selective binding to metal ions. Subsequent research concerned with modified derivatives is currently going on, as a way to provide high solubility even after metal-complexing.

The materials of the lithium ion battery gasket require chemical resistance to the electrolyte, electrical insulating, compression set, anti-contamination and heat resistance. To estimate suitability for rubber which has better performance to compression set than PFA, each compound were made with various rubbers, such as EPDM, NBR, FKM, FVMQ, VMQ and we checked the characteristics of each compound. Samples from each compound was deposited in Propylene Carbonate and tested for changing of Hardness and Volume during 1,000 hr with $80^{\circ}C$. EPDM and VMQ showed good performance to chemical resistance to the electrolyte, and also we could get the values over $10^{10}{\Omega}cm$ on volume resistance basis in electrical insulating. EPDM and VMQ were judged as the most suitable material.

Two novel copper(II) complexes, [Cu(dmamhp)$(H_2O)_2(SO_4)]_n$ (1) and [Cu(dmamhp)$(NO_3)_2(H_2O)]{\cdot}H_2O$ (2) [dmamhp = 2-dimethylaminomethyl-3-hydroxypyridine] have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 displays a double one-dimensional chains structure, in which each chain is constituted with the distorted octahedral copper(II) complex bridged through bidentate sulfate ligands resulting in a coordination polymer. The bifurcated hydrogen bonds and $\pi-\pi$ interactions play important roles in the formation of the double chains structure. On the other hand, compound 2 adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry around copper(II) ion and exists as a discrete monomer. There are intermolecular bifurcated hydrogen bonds and $\pi-\pi$ stacking interactions between the monomeric units. The magnetic properties revealed that the paramagnetic behaviors are dominantly manifested and there are no intermolecular magnetic interactions in both compound 1 and 2.

The demand for flexible devices including solar cells, memories and batteries has increased rapidly over the past decades. In most flexible devices, polymer-based materials are used to enable the mechanical deformations such as bending or folding. Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) is a high molecular compound polymer with flexibility and shape recovery characteristics. In this work, flexible shape memory device was fabricated by simply coating the conducting material, carbon nano-tube (CNT), on a shape memory polymer. Furthermore, durability of the device under various type of mechanical deformations was assessed. It is believed that the result of this work will aid in realization of a stretchable and wearable electronic device for practical applications.

Orthorhombic $LiMnO_2$ was synthesized by solid-state reaction using $LiOH{\cdot}H_{2}O$ and $Mn_{2}O_{3}$ as starting material. Its electrochemical properties as cathode in lithium batteries were examined. X-ray diiffraction revealed that the $LiMnO_2$ compound showed a well-defined orthorhombic phase of a space group with Pmnm. The capacity of $LiMnO_2$ agreed well with its specific surface area and grinding treatment was effective in improving cycling performance. For lithium polymer battery applications. the $LiMnO_2$ cell was characterized electrochemically by charge-discharge experiments. And the relationship between the characteristics of powder and electrochemical properties was studied in this research. A maximum discharge capacity of $160-170mAhg^{-1}$ for $LiMnO_2/Li$ cell was achieved.

The present manuscript deals with the prediction of the lifetime of NBR compound based rubber gaskets for use as fuel cells. The material was investigated at 120, 140 and $160^{\circ}C$, with aging times from 3 to 600 h and increasing $H_2SO_4$ concentrations of 5, 6, 7 and 10 vol%. Both material and accelerated acid-heat aging tests were carried out to predict the useful life of the NBR rubber gasket for use as a fuel cell stack. To investigate the effects of acid-heat aging on the performance characteristics of the gaskets, the properties of the NBR rubber, such as crosslink density and elongation at break, were studied. The hardness of the NBR rubber was found to decrease with decreasing acid concentration at both $120\;and\;140^{\circ}C$, but at $160^{\circ}C$, the hardness of the NBR rubber increased abruptly in a very short time at different acid concentrations. The tensile strength and elongation at break were found to decrease with increases in both the $H_2SO_4$ concentration & temperature. The observed experimental results were evaluated using the Arrhenius equation.
