Since the discovery of liquid crystallinity by Reinitzer [1] in 1988 as he studied the melting behavior of cholesteryl benzoate, anisotropic structural ordering in fluid phases has been of considerable interest to chemists, physicists and other scientists. Polymers which exhibit liquid crystallinity either in solution (lyotropic) or in the neat state upon heating (thermotropic) have both theoretical and practical importance [2]. Du Pont's Kevlar, a high modulus polyamide fiber spun from a lyotropic solution, is a prime example of such an application.

Composites comprising various volume fractions of crystalline nickel and bulk amorphous (BA) were produced by means of electroless coating of nickel on BA powder of $Cu_{54}Ni_6Zr_{22}Ti_{18}$ and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) of coated BA powder. The flow curves of composites at various temperatures in the supercooled liquid region were determined by the uniaxial compression test with various strain rates. During compression at $450^{\circ}C$ with $\dot{\varepsilon}=2\times10^{-3}$, the monolithic BA sample and crystalline-BA composites displayed the superplastic deformation with $\varepsilon>1.4$. At temperatures above $460^{\circ}C$, the stress-strain curve of the monolithic BA sample depicted a sharp peak stress and a fellowing stress drop due to cracking, while those of the crystalline-BA composites displayed work-hardening up to the imposed strain. FEM analysis indicated that a fairly homogeneous strain state prevailed throughout the composite, while a higher level of stress was obtained in a harder BA.

PAZO-6 is a new combined type liquid crystalline polymers (LCP) which has two types of mesogens combined non linearly. Ordering of branch mesogen azo group, in PAZO-6 is an important parameter to observe as well as the substitution effect on the backbone. The related small molecules sllch as monomers as well as the polymer itself are studied by solid state NMR techniques. Preliminary $^{13}C$ CP/MAS (cross polarization/ magic angle spinning) spectral results suggest that the azo groups in the monomers are not aligned with themselves. Azo groups in the monomers seem to be poorly ordered between well ordered p-phenylene terephthalate moeities. Similar disordering tendency of the azo group in PAZO-6 is deduced from the overall aromatic carbon peak positions which are not much different from those of the monomer.

Blends of two thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers, HX2000 and Vectra A950, were prepared by melt blending. Effects of transesterification on these blends are investigated by comparing properties of the blends with and without the addition of an inhibitor, in terms of blend miscibility and rheology. Both the uninhibited and inhibited blends are found to be largely immiscible with very limited miscibility in HX2000-rich phase. No strong evidence indicates the occurrence of transesterification in the blends in the solid state. Dynamic rheological behaviour, such as shear storage modulus (G') and shear loss modulus (G") as a function of frequency, of the blends are interpreted by a three-zone model. HX2000 shows terminal-zone and plateau-zone behaviour, whilst Vectra A950 shows plateau-zone and transition-zone behaviour. The un- inhibited blends show plateau-zone behaviour up to 50% Vectra A950 content and the inhibited blends show plateau-zone behaviour up to 60% Vectra A950 content. Compositional dependence of the complex viscosities of the uninhibited and inhibited blends displayed positive deviations from additivity, which is a characteristic feature for the immiscible thermoplastic blends. When under steady shear, both the uninhibited and inhibited blends show shear thinning behaviour and their viscosities decrease monotonically with the addition of Vectra A950. Compositional dependence of the steady shear viscosities of the two sets of blends displayed negative deviations from additivity and the uninhibited blends were more viscous than the inhibited blends for the full composition range. Although limited agreement with the Cox-Merz rule is found for the inhibited blends, these two sets of blends, in general, do not follow the rule due to their liquid crystalline order and two-phase morphology. Despite being immiscible blends, transesterification, such as polymerization, in the blends might occur during the rheological characterization, supported by the facts that uninhibited blends show HX2000-dominant behaviour at lower Vectra A950 content and are more viscous than the inhibited blends. The addition of transesterification inhibitor in such blends is advised if only physical mixing is desired.ired.

We have been studying :he synthesis of thermotropic polyurethanes, based on structural modifications by means of (i) the introduction of bulky substituent group in the aromatic ring to decrease the degree of lateral packing, (ii) the copolymerization of two kinds of monomers having different alkylene lengths to lower the regularity of the polymer structure, and (iii) the use of nonlinear monomers to lower the persistence length of the polymer chain in the liquid crystalline phase and to decrease the lateral interactions in the solid state.

정압분자동역학 시뮬레이션에 의하여 주기경계조건을 지닌 L-J 입자들로 구성된 계의 액체-유리-결정 전이를 연구하였다. 원자체적과 엔탈피는 가열 및 냉각과정에서 온도의 함수로 계산되었다. 반경분포함수로부터 유도된 Wendt-Abraham비와 단거리규칙도를 나타내는 각도분포함수를 분석하여 액체, 유리 및 결정상태를 구분하였다. 초기 fcc 결정을 가열하여 얻은 액체상은 급냉시에 비정질화하나 서냉시엔 결정화하였다. 급냉으로 생긴 유리는 다시 서서히 가열하면 fcc로 결정화하였다. 자유표면을 지닌결정은 표면에서부터 용해가 시작되어 벌크에 비하여 낮은 온도에서 녹고 냉각시에는 빠른 냉각속도에서도 결정화가 쉽게 일어나는 경향을 보였다.

키틴과 프로필렌 옥시드를 반응시켜 히드록시프로필 키틴(HPCH)을 얻었고 할로겐화 유기용매내에서 HPCH의 액정형성능을 관찰하였다. 키틴과 HPCH의 고체 $^{13}C$ NMR 스펙트럼 분석 결과 히드록시프로필기의 도입을 확인하였다. 원소분석결과 히드록시프로필기의 치환도는 0.8정도였다. WAXD패턴 측정결과 키틴에 히드록시프로필기가 도입됨에 따라 결정성은 감소하였고 유기용매에 대한 용해도는 증가하였다. HPCH를 디클로로아세트산과 1, 2-디클로로에탄 혼합용매에 녹여 편광현미경으로 관찰한 결과 25% 이상의 용액농도에서 콜레스테릭 액정상에서 전형적으로 관측되는 지문영역이 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 용액의 점도는 시간변화에 따라 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

Cholesteryl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate의 결정은 두가지 서로 다른 결정구조로 결정화한다. Dichloromethane 용매에서 키운 결정(1)과 hexane 용매에서 키운 결정(2)이 서로 다른 구조를 나타낸다. Cholesterol O(3)에 결합한 dichloro- benzoate의 상대적인 배열도 이 두가지 구조에서 서로 다르다. 특히 이들 결정구조들은, 공간군(P2₁2₁2₁)과 격자상수들이 매우 비슷한 결정이다. 결정(1)은 뚜렷한 layer structure를 보여준다. 결정(1)은 예측한 대로 liquid crystalline state(cholesteric phase)가 130.8℃에서 나타내고 녹는점은 132.5℃이다. 결정(2)의 녹는점은 133.7℃이다.

In the past, facile dissolution of cellulose has been hampered by the lack of suitable nondegrading solvents. Recently, this problem has been solved in our laboratory by the discovery of an inexpensive, convenient solvent system, that is the mixture of $NH_3\;and\;NH_4SCN$, for cellulose. Also, the $cellulose/NH_3/NH_4SCN$ solution system has been found to form the anisotropic, i.e., liquid crystalline phase. It is believed that both the cholesterio and the nematic phase occur. This finding has prompted extensive on-going researoh on the formation of the liquid crystalline phase from an inexpensive natural source such as cellulose since the nematic phase is envisioned as an excellent precursor sources for products with desirable properties, for example, high modulus and high strength. This interest naturally leads to a desire to understand the theological properties of the nematic phase so that the transformation of the nematic phase to the solid state with desirable properties can be efficiently accomplished, ;From this point of view, the theological behavior of the $cellulose/NH3_/NH_4SCN$ system has been studied as a function of shear rate and shear stress over a wide range of solvent compositions, cellulose concentration, centrifugation and urea contents, Results indicate that the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate. A marked shear thinning behavior and a quasi-Newtonian behavior were observed in the low shear rate region and in the high shear rate region, respectively for all solvent compositions. The $cellulose/NH_3/NH_4SCN$ solution system only exhibited the viscosity increase with increasing cellulose concentration and failed to show the viscosity drop generally observed at the point of incipience of liquid crystal formation, This may be due to the gel-like nature of the solution by the association of the rodlike molecules into bundles which may serve as crosslinking points giving the cellulose solution a network structure. Also, simply hydrogen bonding may be so restrictive of molecular mobility that a viscosity drop is blocked. In addition to the above results, yield stress and thixotropy were also observed in the $cellulose/NH_3/NB_4SCN$ solution system which are characteristics of liquid crystal and gel, The results of the effect of centrifugation on viscosity show that viscosity decreases by the application of centrifugation. This may be explained by the change of the piled polydomain structure to the dispersed polydomain structure due to the pressure gradient generated during centrifugation.ation.
