The rapid development of the automobile industry is an important factor that led to the dramatic development of synthetic rubber. The tread part of tire that comes in direct contact with the road surface is related to the service life of the tire. Rubber compounds used in tire treads are often blended with SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) and BR (butadiene rubber) to satisfy physical property requirements. However, when two or more kinds of rubber are blended, phase separation and silica dispersion problems may occur due to non-uniform mixing of the rubber. Therefore, in this study, we synthesized an SBR copolymer with the same composition as that of a typical SBR/BR blend compound by controlling butadiene content during ESBR (emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber) synthesis. Subsequently, silica filled compounds were manufactured using the synthesized ESBR, and their mechanical properties, dynamic viscoelasticity, and crosslinking density were compared with those of the SBR/BR blended compound. When the content of butadiene was increased in the silica filled compound, the cure rate accelerated due to an increased number of allylic positions, which typically exhibit higher reactivity. However, the T-2 compound with increased butadiene content by synthesis less likely to show an increase in crosslink density due to poor silica dispersion. In addition, the T-3 compound containing high cis BR content showed high crosslink density due to its monosulfide crosslinking structure. Because of the phase separation, SBR/BR blend compounds were easily broken and showed similar $M_{100%}$ and $M_{300%}$ values as those of other compounds despite their high crosslink density. However, the developed blend showed excellent abrasion resistance due to the high cis-1,4 butadiene content and low rolling resistance due to the high crosslink density.

라텍스 기법으로 제조한 폴리스티렌(PS)/다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT) 나노복합재료의 라텍스 입자 크기에 따른 유변학적, 전기적 물성을 고찰하였다. 나노복합재료는 무유화제 유화중합과 분산중합으로 합성한 단분산 PS 입자에 MWCNT를 초음파 분산시킨 다음 동결건조 과정을 거쳐 제조하였다. PS/MWCNT 나노복합재료는 MWCNT 함량이 증가할수록 점차 네트워크 구조를 형성하여 저장 탄성률, 복소 점도 및 전기 전도도가 급격하게 증가하였다. MWCNT 함량에 따른 저장 탄성률 및 복소 점도 증가 효과는 라텍스 입자 크기가 큰 경우 더욱 뚜렷하였다. 입자 크기에 따른 전기적 물성은 MWCNT 함량에 따라 상이한 경향을 보여 주었는데, 함량이 적은 경우 작은 입자로 제조한 나노복합재료가 높은 전기 전도도를 보여 주었으나 함량이 증가할수록 큰 입자의 경우가 높은 값을 보여 주었다.

주형분자로서 all-trans-retinoic acid를 사용하여 methacrylic acid (MAA)를 가교 중합함으로써 분자각인고분자를 제조하였다 제조된 분자각인고분자가 충전된 HPLC컬럼의 분리특성을 살펴본 결과 레티노이드 유도체에 대해 좋은 분리 특성을 보였다. 주형분자의 양이 일정할 경우 주형분자대비 MAA의 양이 증가할수록 컬럼의 성능인자와 선택도는 높게 나타났으며, 이는 확률적으로 보다 많은 호스트분자와 주형분자간의 결합소를 제공한데 따른 결과이다. 유화중합에 의해 제조된 분자각인 고분자입자는 둥근 형태로 관찰되었으며 그 크기도 용액중합에 의해 제조된 것에 비해 훨씬 일정하게 분산되었으나, 분리특성은 효율이 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다 이러한 이유는 유화중합에 의한 분자각인고분자 제조시 물과 MAA 또는 물과 주형분자간의 수소결합에 의해 MAA와 주형분자간의 결합력 및 결합소의 수에 손실이 있었기 때문이다.

Emulsion graft copolymerizations of vinyl monomers, butyl acrylate(BA), methyl methacrylate(MMA), 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA), methacrylonitrile(MAN), dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate(DAMA) or 2-vinyl pyridine(VP), onto carboxyl-terminated SBR latex were carried out under different experimental conditions. In case of synthesizing SBR-g-poly(butyl acrylate), the degree of grafting was increased with increasing the amount of emulsifier, polymerization temperature and the amount of initiator. Pull-out strength of resorcinol-formaldehyde-latex(RFL) adhesives formulated with modified latexes was very higher than that of RFL adhesive formulated with ungrafted latex. When the modified latexes with GMA, HEMA, MAN, DAMA or VP were used, the break occurred at cords. Peel strength of RFL adhesives formulated with SBR-g-poly(GMA), SBR-g-poly(HEMA) or SBR-g-poly(VP) was higher by about 1.3 times than that of RFL adhesives formulated with unmodified SBR against nylon cord and was higher by about 2.0 times against polyester cord.

Uniform, hollow nanosilica spheres were prepared by the chemical coating of cationic polystyrene (cPS) with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), followed by calcination at 600 $^{\circ}C$ under air. cPS was synthesized by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization using 2,2'-azobis (2-methyl propionamidine) dihydrochloride as the cationic initiator, and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) as a stabilizer. The resulting cPS spheres were 280 nm in diameter, and showed monodispersion. After coating, the hollow silica product was spherically shaped, and 330 nm in diameter, with a narrow distribution of sizes. Dispersion was uniform. Wall thickness was 25 nm, and surface area was 96.4 $m^2/g$, as determined by BET. The uniformity of the wall thickness was strongly dependent upon the cPS surface charge. The effects of TEOS and ammonia concentrations on shape, size, wall thickness, and surface roughness of hollow $SiO_2$ spheres were investigated. We observed that the wall thicknesses of hollow $SiO_2$ spheres increased and that silica size was simultaneously enhanced with increases in TEOS concentrations. When ammonia concentrations were increased, the irregularity of rough surfaces and aggregation of spherical particles were more severe because higher concentrations of ammonia result in faster hydrolysis and condensation of TEOS. These changes caused the silica to grow faster, resulting in hollow $SiO_2$ spheres with irregular, rough surfaces.

The purposes of this research were to synthesize amoxicillin-carrying magnetic nanoparticles. Magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by a chemical precipitation of ferric and ferrous chloride salts in the presence of a strong basic solution. PLGA and PLGA-PEG copolymers were prepared by ring opening polymerization of lactide (LA) and glycolide (GA) (mole ratio of LA: GA 3:1) with or without polyethylene glycol (PEG). Amoxicillin loaded magnetic PLGA and PLGA-PEG nanoparticles were prepared by an emulsion-evaporation process (o/w). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photomicrographs showed that the magnetic nanoparticles have the mean diameter within the range of 65-260 nm also they were almost spherical in shape. Magnetic nanoparticles prepared with PLGA showed more efficient entrapment (90%) as compared with PLGA-PEG (48-52%) nanoparticles. In-vitro release of amoxicillin from magnetic PLGA nanoparticles showed that 78% of drug was released over 24 hours. The amount of amoxicillin released from PLGA-PEG s was higher than PLGA.

Noble thermosensitive nanoparticles, based on a PNIPAAm-co-AA core and a chitosan shell structure, were designed and synthesized for the controlled release of the loaded drug. PNIPAAm nanoparticles containing a carboxylic group on their surface were synthesized using emulsion polymerization. The carboxylic groups were conjugated with the amino group of a low molecular weight, water soluble chitosan. The particle size of the synthesized nanoparticles was decreased from 380 to 25 nm as the temperature of the dispersed medium was increased. Chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles with $2{\sim}5$ wt% MBA, a crosslinking monomer, induced a stable aqueous dispersion at a concentration of 1mg/1mL. The chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles showed thermo sensitive behaviors such as LCST and size shrinkage that were affected by the PNIPAAm core and induced some particle aggregation around LCST, which was not shown in the NIPAAm-co-AA nanoparticles. These chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles are also expected to be more biocompatible than the PNIPAAm core itself through the chitosan shell structures.
