The monomer N,N'-bis(3-pyrrol-1-yl-propyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium$(PF_6)_2$ was electrochemically polymerized on glassy carbon electrode surface. This polymer film electrode has electroactive sites on its bipyridinium ions distributed at the polymer strands. The formal potentials of the electrodes were -0.41V and -0.81V(vs. SSCE) for each step at phosphate buffer(pH=5.70). The diffusion coefficients of the dopants ions into the polymer matrix were $1.57{\times}10^{-4}$ and $4.35{\times}10^{-5}cm^2s^{-1}$ for first and second redox couple, respectively. The rate constants of electron transfer at $V^{2+/+}$ of the first step was a $57.53s^{-1}$, which was 22 times higher than $V^{+/0}$ one having $2.63s^{-1}$ in the solution. The charge transfer resistance of the polymer film was influenced by the dopant ion of the electrolyte. Thus the resistances were 22.63, 16.81, 12.44 and $11.36k{\Omega}$ for $LiClO_4,\;NaClO_4,\;KClO_4$, and phosphate buffer, respectively. The reaction order of the electropolymerization was first order and the rate constant of the polymerization was $1.31{\times}10^{-1}s^{-1}$ as determined by EQCM method. The G.C./p-BPB type electrode doped with phosphate ions showed a stability and reproducibility in CV procedure over 20 cycles.

In this work, polymer composite electrolytes were prepared by a blend of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a polymer matrix, propylene carbonate as a plasticizer, $LiClO_4$ as a salt, and by containing a different content of $TiO_2$, by using the solution casting method. The crystallinity and ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes was evaluated using X-ray diffraction(XRD) and AC impedance method, respectively. The morphology of composite electrolyte film was analyzed by SEM method. From the experimental results, by increasing the $TiO_2$ content, crystallinity of PEO was reduced, and ionic conductivity was increased. In particular, the ionic conductivity was dependent on the content of $TiO_2$ and showed the highest value 15 wt%. However, when $TiO_2$ content exceeds 15 wt%, the ionic conductivity was decreased. According to the surface morphology, the ionic conductivity was decreased because the polymer composite electrolytes showed a heterogenous morphology of fillers due to immiscibility or aggregation of the filler within the polymer matrix.

Living anionic and cationic polymerizations have been combined to prepare various types of comb-like copolymers composed of polystyrene (PS) and polyisoprene (PI) blocks, with a precisely controlled architecture. According to the relative placement of these elementary building blocks, combs with randomly distributed PS and PI or with poly(styrene-b-isoprene) diblock branches (I & II, respectively) can be prepared. The reaction procedure initially includes the synthesis of a poly(chloroethylvinyl ether) using living cationic polymerization, which is used as the reactive backbone to successively graft $PS^-Li^+$ and $PI^-Li^+$ or $PI-b-PS^-Li^+$ to obtain structures (I) or (II). The synthesis of Janus-type PS-comb-b-PI-combs (III) initially involves the synthesis of a diblock backbone using living cationic polymerization, which bears two distinct reactive functions having either a protected or activated form. Living $PS^-Li^+$ and $PI^-Li^+$ are then grafted, in two separate steps, onto each of the reactive functions of the backbone, respectively.

In order to improve the energy density and safety of Li-ion batteries, the development of a separator with high thermal stability and electrolyte wettability is an important desire. Thus, the ceramic separator to replace the polymer type is one of the most promising materials that can prevent short-circuit caused by the formation of dendrite and thermal deformation. In this study, we introduce the fabrication of various anodic aluminum oxide membranes for the application of Li-ion battery separators with the advantages of improved mechanical/thermal stability, wettability, and a high rate of Li⁺ migration through the membrane. Two different types of through-holes and branched anodic aluminum oxide membranes are well used in lithium-ion battery separators, however, branched anodic aluminum oxide membranes exhibit the most improved performance with capacity (126.0 mAh g^-1 @ 0.3C), capacity drop at the high C-rate (30.6 %), and low internal resistance (8.2 Ω).

We have designed and developed a new ladder type tetrafused ${\pi}$-conjugated building block such as dihydroindolo[3,2-b]indole (DINI) and investigated its role as an electron rich unit. The photovoltaic properties of a new semiconducting ${\pi}$-conjugated polymer, poly[[5,10-bisoctyl-5,10-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]indole-[5,6- bis(octyloxy)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole]], represented by PDINI-OBTC8 are described. The new polymer PDINI-OBTC8 was synthesized in donor-acceptor (D-A) fashion, where fused ${\pi}$-conjugated tetracyclic DINI, and 5,6-bis(octyloxy)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl) benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (OBTC8) were employed as electron rich (donor) and electron deficient (acceptor) moieties, respectively. The conventional bulk heterojunction (BHJ) device structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PDINI-OBTC8:PCB71M/LiF/Al was utilized to fabricate polymer solar cells (PSCs), which comprises the blend of PDINI-OBTC8 and [6,6]-phenyl-$C_{71}$-butyric acid methyl ester ($PC_{71}BM$) in BHJ network. A BHJ PSC that contain PDINI-OBTC8 delivered power conversion efficiency (PCE) value of 1.68% with 1 vol% of 1,8-diidooctane (DIO) under the illumination of A.M 1.5G 100 $mW/cm^2$.

전기방사 탄소섬유와 s-VGCFs는 그 미세구조의 특성 때문에 응용분야가 서로 다르다. 전기방사 탄소나노섬유는 유기물을 섬유화하고 그것을 탄화하기 때문에 VGCFs에 비해서 낮은 가격에 대량생산이 가능하고 촉매를 사용하지 않기 때문에 전극으로 사용할 경우 금속불순물에 대한 부반응의 우려가 없다. 한편, 결정성이 낮고 세공이 잘 발달되어 비표면적이 크기 때문에 이온을 흡착해서 에너지를 저장하는 전기화학 캐패시터나 가스 흡착 분리나 촉매의 지지체로 사용하는데 장점이 있다. 이에 비해서 s-VFCFs는 섬유의 직경이 기존의 VGCF에 비해서 작으면서 잘 발달된 흑연구조가 동심원 구조를 하고 있어 굴곡강도가 크고 열 및 전기전도도가 우수하여 납축전지나 Li 이온전지의 충전제로 사용하여 역학적 특성과 향상시켜 주는 역할을 한다. 또한, 금속과 복합화하여 가벼우면서도 강도를 증가시켜주는 보강재로 사용가능하다.

We synthesized a poly[2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazole] under the two step procedures of Suzuki coupling polymerization with corresponding monomers followed by the deprotection of benzyl group. The polymer in DMF solution is applicable to colorimetric sensing fluoride anion, which shows a color change from colorless to yellow. High sensitivity to fluoride anion compared to other anions such as phosphate, chloride, and sulfate is ascribed to the high coordination ability of the 2-(2'-hydroxy phenyl)benzoxazole moiety in the polymer chain. Emission shift by metal cations, which can be applied to fluorescent sensing w as also observed in the polymer solution.

Present work was focused on the influence of methylcellulose (MC) on steady rheology of wheat gliadin solution and the properties of glycerol plasticized gliadin films. The presence of MC below 0.99 wt% improved viscosity and flow activation energy of the 10 wt% gliadin solution significantly. In the casting films containing 0.2 g glycerol/g dry protein, the MC component aggregated in the gliadin matrix. The blend films containing less than 7.7 wt% MC exhibited higher Young's modulus (E) and tensile strength (${\sigma}_b$) and lower elongation at break (${\epsilon}_b$) in comparison with the pure gliadin film, which was related to the intermolecular interaction between MC and gliadins, the brittle fracture of the aggregated MC component, and the increase in glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of the gliadin phase. Increasing MC content led to a slight increase in water vapor permeability (WVP) without significant influence on the moisture absorption (MA).

Colloidal gold with a conducting polymer (e.g., polyaniline) bound on the metal surfaces has been used for the generation of conductimetric signal in a membrane strip immunosensor. Since polyaniline itself at a low pH range revealed a low conductivity, an approach of doping the polymer with a lithium salt was used. As an alternative method, a self-doped (i.e., pH-independent) sustance such as leucoemeraldine base sulfonated polyaniline (LEB-SPAN) can be used as signal generator. It was also highly soluble in water and, thus, such a selected polymer was expected to support a satisfactory property as a label of the immunosensor.
