Polyurethanes, synthesized by polyester polyols and aliphatic or aromatic diisocyanates for a crease resist finishing agent, were prepared by two-step reactions, that is, prepolymer synthesis and chain extension. The structures of synthesized polyurethanes were confirmed by the measurement of FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR spectrometer. The number average molecular weight ($\bar{M}_n$) and the weight average molecular weight ($\bar{M}_w$) of the polyurethane with aromatic diisocyanate (MDI) were higher than those of the synthesized polyurethanes with aliphatic diisocyanate (HDI, $H_{12}MDI$). The glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) of soft segments in polyurethanes with MDI, HDI, $H_{12}MDI$ were -25,-42 and -50$^{circ}C$, respectively. In the polyurethanes obtained by two-step reaction, thermal stability and tensile strength increased with increasing hard segment contents, whereas elongation at break decreased with increasing hard segment contents.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm) containing polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) block and nano clay was obtained by the polymerization of NIPAAm and [3-(methacryloylamino)propyl]trimethyl ammonium montmorillonite(MAPTAC-MMT) with PDMS-macroinitiator. The polymer was characterized with FT-IR, XRD and DSC. The addition of PDMS in the polymers did not affect the value of the lower critical solution temperature(LCST) and the glass transition temperature($T_g$) of the PNIPAAm. However, the swelling ratio decreased with increasing PDMS contents. In the case of PNIPAAm containing nano clay, the content of MAPTAC-MMT did not affect swellability, but the $T_g$ of the PNIPAAm decreased with increasing nano clay contents.

A series of amorphous polyesters were synthesized from amorphous polyether and sebacoyl chloride. The structure and competition of the obtained aliphatic polyester were confirmed by $^1$H-NMR and FT-IR. The number average molecular weights (M$_{n}$) of the obtained polymer were ranging from 8000 ~ 15000. These polyesters showed no crystallinity and their glass transition temperatures (T$_{g}$) were around -77$^{\circ}C$. For comparison, aliphatic polyesters were also synthesized from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with M$_{n}$ of 200, 400, and 1000. As the M$_{n}$ of PEG increased, the melting point of the obtained polyester increased, and the crystallinity of the obtained polyester increased showing 8.8%, 16.2%, and 46.7%, respectively.ively.y.

$SiO_xF_y$ optical thin films of lower refractive indices than glass substrates were fabricated by the CF$_4$ ion beam assisted deposition method and the optical, structural and chemical properties of them were investigated. Refractive index of $SiO_xF_y$ films was varied from 1.455 to 1.394 by decreasing the anode voltage or from 1.462 to 1.430 by increasing the current density of end-Hall ion source. FT-IR and XPS analyses show that as the F concentration increases, the Si-O bond at $1080m^{-1}$ shifts to higher wavenumber, the OH bonds are reduced drastically, and the fluorine atoms at the air-film interface are desorbed out by reacting with $H_2O$ in the atmosphere. $SiO_xF_y$ thin films are amorphous by the XRD analysis and have the compressive stress below 0.3 GPa. As an application of $SiO_xF_y$ thin films a two-layer antireflection coating was fabricated using a $SiO_xF_y$ film as a low refractive index layer and a Si film as an absorbing one.

Polymer membranes such as poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)-polyetherimide (PTMSP-PEI) and poly(dimethylsiloxane)- polyetherimide (PDMS-PEI) composite membrane were prepared by solution casting method. To investigate the characteristics of these membranes, the analytical methods such as FT-IR, $^1H-NMR,$ DSC, TGA, GPC, and SEM have been utilized. The number-average (equation omitted) and weight-average (equation omitted) molecular weight of PTMSP were 477,920 and 673,329 respectively. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of PTMSP was $224^{\circ}C.$ The separation of the gas mixture ($H_2/N_2$) through the composite membranes were studied as a function of pressure. The separation factor (${\alpha}, {\beta},$ quation omitted) of the composite membranes used in this work increased as the pressure of permeation cell increased. The real separation factor (${\alpha}$), head separation factor (${\beta}$), and tail separation factor (equation omitted) of PTMSP-PEI composite membrane were 2.28, 1.17, and 1.96 respectively at ${\Delta}P$ 30psi and $25^{\circ}C.$ (${\alpha}, {\beta}$ and equation omitted of PDMS-PEI composite membrane were 3.70, 1.53, and 2.42 respectively at ${\Delta}P$ 30psi and $25^{\circ}C$.

Poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB) was synthesized by acetalization of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) PVB was prepared in particulate forms in water, and chemical and physical properties of the products were characterized using various techniques. The prepared PVB had size distribution from 100 to 700 $\mu\textrm{m}$ with mean diameter of about 380 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The chemical structure of PVB was characterized using FT/IR and NMR, and the average degree of acetalization was determined to be 77% from the titration measurement. DSC data showed that the crystalline structure of PVA vanished as acetalization reaction proceeded to produce PVB, and the glass transition temperature emerged at about $70^{\circ}C$. TGA data showed that PVB was much more thermally stable than PVA, and showed no degradation up to $300^{\circ}C$. Solubility test showed that PVB was soluble in alcohols but Insoluble in water, being totally different from PVA.

The copolymerization of ethylene (E) and cycloolefin (CO) was carried out with rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$ and MMAO cocatalyst system to examine the effect of CO structure on catalytic behaviors and properties of copolymer (COC). Various cycloolefins such as norbornene (N), 5-phenyl-2-norbornene (PN) and 5-vinyl-2-norbornene (VN) were used as comonomers. With increasing [CO]/[E] feed ratio, the catalytic activity decreased while the glass transition temperature of copolymer increased. With analysis of the structure of E/VN copolymer by FT-IR and $^{l3}$C-NMR, it was found that the cyclic C=C bond of VN comonomer is selectively polymerized and the vinyl C=C bond remains unreacted. The resulting vinyl C=C bond attached into copolymer provided the functionalization moiety using glycidyl methacrylate.e.

In this study, polyurethane prepolymers were synthesized from polycaprolactonediol (PCDs. M.W. 530, 830, 1000, 1250, and 2000) and polycaprolactonetriol (PCTs. M.W. 300 and 900), and hexamethylenediisocyanate (HMDI). Polyurethane beads was prepared from the different prepolymers by a two-step suspension polymerization. The particle size of polyurethane beads was investigated by particle size analyzer. The beads were $10{\sim}30{\mu}m$ in size. The structure of beads was confirmed by FT-IR spectrometer. Their thermal properties were analyzed by TGA. Glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) of the beads were in the range of $-23{\sim}-53^{\circ}C$ and decreased with the increase of the PCD molecular weight. In order to prevention the cohesion of beads, the beads were coated with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS).

PDMS modified epoxy resin with epoxy group (EMPDMS) was prepared from the reaction of ${\alpha},{\omega}$-aminopropylpolydimethylsiloxane and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) based epoxy resin, and PDMS modified epoxy hybrid compound (EMPDMSH) was prepared by introducing alkylesteraminopropyl alkoxy silane to EMPDMS. Their structures were characterized using FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR and $^{29}Si$-NMR. Coating materials were prepared by mixing EMPDMSH base and solvent. Physical properties of the coating materials coated on epoxy/glass fiber composite film were measured according to the content of PDMS in EMPDMSH. Contact angle of coating film was increased 30 to 71 degree. Adhesive property of coating film was 5B degree better then epoxy or acrylate coating materials, and surface roughness was decreased as increasing in EMPDMSH.

BTTN and TMETN are representative energetic plasticizers used for various propellants. However these compounds are sensitive relatively. So, in order to develop insensitive energetic plasticizer, this study attempted to synthesize derivative of triazole, 4,5-bis(azidomethyl)-(2-methoxyethyl)-1,2,3- triazole (DAMETR). Also, the prepared compound was characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy, and physicochemical properties such as glass transition temperature, melting point, decomposition temperature, density, viscosity and impact sensitivity. In addition, the heats of formation (${\Delta}H_f$) and detonation properties (pressure and velocity) of DAMETR were calculated using Gaussian 09 and EXPLO5 programs. Especially, 1-DAMETR(>50 J) was more insensitive than BTTN(1 J) and TMETN(9.2 J).
