UV-induced graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to a polypropylene (PP) membrane was carried out in the vapor phase with benzophenone (BP) as a photoinitiator. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to characterize the copolymer. The degree of grafting increased with increasing reaction time, increased UV irradiation source intensity, and increased immersion concentration of the BP solution. The optimum synthetic condition for the PP-g-GMA membrane was obtained with a reaction time of 2 hrs, a UV irradiation source intensity of 450 W, and an immersion concentration of the BP solution of 0.5 mol/L. The pure water flux decreased upon increasing the degree of grafting and increasing the amount of diethylamino functional group introduced. The analysis of AFM and SEM images shows that the graft chains and diethylamino groups of PP-g-GMA grew on the PP membrane surface, resulting in a change in surface morphology.

This paper has described about preparation of $Zr^{4+}$ affinity column based on the poly(styrene-co- gly-cidyl methacrylate) prepared by emulsion polymerization of styrene and glycidyl methacrylate in order to isolate phosphopeptide. The $Zr^{4+}$ ions were introduced after the phophonation of an epoxy group on polymeric microspheres. The successful preparation of $Zr^{4+}$-immobilized polymeric microsphere stationary phase was confirmed through Fourier transform infrared spectra, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectra and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer. The separation efficiency for $Zr^{4+}$ affinity column prepared by slurry packing was tested to phosphonated casein and dephosphonated casein. The resolution time (min) of the phosphonated casein was higher than that of dephosphated casein for $Zr^{4+}$ affinity polymeric microsphere by liquid chromatography. This $Zr^{4+}$ affinity column can be used for isolation of phosphonated casein from casein using liquid chromatography.

In order to fabricate a modified poly (lactic acid) (PLA) for applications requiring high melt strength, a PLA has been irradiated in the presence of functional monomer of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Samples were prepared with various contents of GMA and irradiation dosages, and were characterized by observing their thermal and melt viscoelastic properties and gel faction. The complex viscosity and storage modulus of the modified PLA without GMA were lower than those of the original PLA. Those of the modified PLA decreased with increasing dosage. In the case of the modified PLA containing 0.1 phr or 0.3 phr of GMA, their changing tendency with dosage was similar to the irradiated PLA without GMA. However, the 5 kGy irradiated PLA containing 0.5 phr of GMA showed the greatly enhanced complex viscosity and storage modulus, which were about 3 and 10 times higher than those of the original PLA at a frequency of 0.1 rad/s, respectively.

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was used to introduce epoxy groups on the surface of polypropylene (PP) plate, used as a substrate, through plasma-induced graft copolymerization. Emulsion polymerization was applied for graft copolymerization of GMA and was compared with conventional solution polymerization to confirm its effect. Plasma treatment conditions under one atmospheric pressure were fixed as follows; the RF power of 200 W, the treatment time of 30 sec, the Ar gas flow rate of 6 LPM, and the exposure time of treated PP samples in air of 5 min. For graft-copolymerization, GMA concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time was optimized to maximize the grafting degree of GMA. The maximum grafting degree of GMA was obtained at the condition of 12%-GMA concentration, $90^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, and 5 hr-reaction time. Analysis results supported that the emulsion polymerization was more effective than the solution polymerization for grafting more GMAs on the surface of PP plate under the same reaction conditions.

This study is on the synthesis of reactive polymer modifiers by emulsion polymerization to improve properties of asphalt for paving. Styrene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), isoprene and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) which has epoxy ring to react with carboxyl group of asphaltene were used to synthesize polymer modifiers. Modifiers with various composition were tested miscibility with asphalt. Modifiers which showed good miscibility with asphalt were investigated by DSC for $T_g$. Existence of epoxy rings and their reaction with asphaltene wore investigated by FTIR. Molecular structures of synthesized modifiers were confirmed by $^1H-NMR$. The synthesized modifiers which showed good miscibility had their $Tg's$ in the range of $37.5{\sim}56.5^{\circ}C$ and had isoprene contents of 30 wt%. They showed good miscibility in the 1 and 2 wt% concentrations, but not in the 3 wt% concentration.

Graft copolymerization of styrene and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to the peroxidized polypropylene (PP) fabric with E-beam in $O_2$ atmosphere was carried out in vapor phase with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. The degree of grafting of copolymers was increased with the increase of the reaction temperature and the highest degree of grafting was obtained at $70^{\circ}C$ with styrene, and at $80^{\circ}C$ with GMA. The highest degree of grafting of styrene grafted PP according to reaction time was higher than that of GMA grafted PP. In vapor phase graft polymerization, the degree of grafting of copolymers according to water composition in monomer mixture was effected by the boiling temperature of monomers.

Photocurable modified 6 functional polyacrylate(PA-1) were prepared from dipentaerythritol derivatives (DPET) and acrylic acid, and 12 functional polymethacrylate(PA-2) were prepared from dipentaerythritol derivatives (DPET), trimellitic anhydride, and glycidyl methacrylate. And physical properties of photocurable modified poly(meth)acrylate were increased with increasing functionality of (meth)acrylate. Thermal stability of UV cured film obtained by using TGA was shifted to higher temperature as the increasing of functionality. Hardness, abrasion resistance and tensile strength of UV cured film were increased with increasing functionality of (meth)acrylate. Values of yellow index were increased with increasing functionality of (meth)acrylate.

Carbon dioxide was absorbed into GMA solution in a stirred flat cell using mesoporous catalyst Imidazole-CP-MS41, which was synthesized by CP-MCM41 with imidazole. Experiments were carried out at a batch-type absorber with different conditions, varying reaction temperature, concentration of GMA, solvent but maintaining 50 rpm of agitation speed and 2 g of catalyst. Absorption rate of $CO_2$ was used to obtain the kinetics based on the film theory using zwitterion mechanism with 2 elementary reaction and the kinetics were correlated with the solubility parameter of the solvents.

Biodegradable hydrogels based on glycidyl methacrylate dextran (CMD) and dimethacrylate poly(ethylene glycol) (DMP) were proposed for colon-specific drug delivery. GMD was synthesized by coupling of glycidyl methacylate with dextran in the presence of 4-(N, N-dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) using dimethylsulfoxide as a solvent. Methacrylate-terminated poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) macromer was prepared by the reaction of PEG with methacryloyl chloride. CMD/DMP hydrogels were prepared by radical polymerization of phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M, pH 7.4) of GMD and DMP using ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) and UV as initiating system. The synthetic GMD, DMP and GMD/DMP hydrogels were characterized by fourier transform infrared (FT-lR) spectroscopy. The FITC-albumin loaded hydrogels were prepared by adding FITC-albumin solution before UV irradiation. Swelling capacity of GMD/DMP hydrogels was controlled not only by molecular weight of dextran, but also by incorporation ratio of DMP Degradation of the hydrogels has been studied in vitro with dextranase. FITC-albumin release from the GMD/DMP hydrogels was affected by molecular weight of nextran and the presence of dextranase in the release medium.
