Research in this paper focuses on the kinetic evaluation of swelling of the liquid crystalline phases of glyceryl monooleate (GMO). Swelling of the lamellar and cubic liquid crystalline phases of GMO was studied using two in vitro methods, a total immersion method and a Franz cell method. The swelling of the lamellar phase and GMO having 0 %w/w initial water content was temperature dependent. The swelling ratio was greater at $20^{\circ}^C than 37^{\circ}^C$ . The water uptake increased dramatically with decreasing initial water content of the liquid crystalline phases. The swelling rates obtained using the Franz cell method with a moist nylon membrane to mimic buccal drug delivery situation were slower than the total immersion method. The swelling was studied by employing first-order and second-order swelling kinetics. The swelling of the liquid crystalline phases of GMO could be described by second-order swelling kinetics. The initial stage of the swelling (t < 4 h) followed the square root of time relationship, indicating that this model is also suitable for describing the water uptake by the liquid crystalline matrices. These results obtained from the current study demonstrate that the swelling strongly depends on temperature, the initial water content of the liquid crystalline phases and the methodology employed for measuring the swelling of GMO.

Liquid crystalline phases were formed from acylglutamate; polyglyceryl-10 myristate and glycerine mixture and they were used as a base material for preparing an O/W emulsion. When an oil phase is added into the liquid crystalline phases, it was inserted into the dispersed liquid crystal droplets rather than stayed outside the liquid crystals, which can be known by the fact that the size of liquid crystal droplets increases with the increasing oil phase content. Along with the increase in the droplet size, the complex modulus increases from 100 to 350 pascals and the loss angle decreases from 60 to 24 degrees, from which it can be known that the increase in the internal phase volume results in the increase in the elastic property of oil in liquid crystalline-phases (O/LC). When the water phase was lastly added into the O/LC phase, the emulsification occurred to form a O/W emulsion and the averaged particle size of the O/W emulsion changes from 22.5nm to 538nm with the addition of water phase. The results from the droplet size measurements and stability tests under accelerated conditions such as high temperature show that the obtained O/W emulsion is very consistent with time.

Liquid crystalline polymer BB-3(1-methyl) takes two kinds of glass phases which are liquid crystalline glass and liquid glass below the glass temperature. This study is aimed to analyze the phase transitions of those samples with variation of temperature. For the analyzing temperature dispersion of dielectric constants was measured and the results were analyzed.

Side-chain liquid crystalline polymers having polysiloxane skeletons were synthesized by a thiol-ene reaction, using two kinds of mesogenic groups: a cholesteryl group for induction into a cholesteric liquid crystal phase and a triazomesogenic group for imparting light-sensitivity. All the synthesized polymers were crystalline, except the one with a single cholesteryl group. Crystallinity, glass transition temperature, and melt transition temperature increased with increasing content of the azomesogenic group. The polymer (P-C10A0) with a single cholesteryl group has a cholesteric phase, the one (P-C0A10) with a single azomesogenic group has a smectic phase, and those with both types of mesogenic groups showed both smectic and cholesteric phases. The temperature ranges of the two liquid crystalline phases in the co-polymers were independent of the contents of the two types of mesogenic groups. The rate of photoisomerization of the light-sensitive azobenzene group in the polymer decreased with increasing azobenzene content due to steric hindrance between the azomesogenic groups.

Coumarin기가 포함된 액정성을 가진 단량체를 액정 상태에서 UV 조사에 의해 중합하였다. Cycloaddition 반응에 의해 coumarin 액정 단량체는 이량체로 전환되었으며, 광이량화 반응 후에도 액정성이 유지되었다. 그리고 이러한 이량체는 단량체의 액정범위 보다 넓은 영역에서 액정성을 나타내었다. 화합물의 구조는 FT IR 및 $^1H$ NMR에 의해 확인하였으며, 그들의 열적 상전이온도 및 열안정성들은 DSC, GPC 및 편광현미경에 의해 조사하였다. 광중합에 의해 생성된 고분자 생성물은 광학 편광 현미경 관찰에 의해 스멕틱 및 네마틱 조직을 갖는 쌍방성 액정성을 보였다.

It is well known that poly(glutamate)s with long n-alkyl side chains form thermotropic liquid crystalline state by melting of the side-chain crystallites and also poly(glutamate)s such as poly(${\gamma}-benzyl\;L-glutamate$ )(PBLG), poly(${\gamma}-n-alkyl\;L-glutamate$), etc. in solvent form the isotropic, biphasic and liquid crystalline phases which contains cholesteric and columnar liquid crystalline forms depending on the polypeptide concentration. Although there is no diffusion study for PBLG in liquid crystalline state, because it is difficult to observed $^{1}H$ spectrum of PBLG in liquid crystalline state for its very short $^{1}H\;T_{2}$. In this study, the diffusional behavior of rodlike PBLG in concentrated solution is successfully elucidated as studied by the field-gradient $^{1}H$ NMR methods.

A series of new liquid crystalline dimesogenic compounds with chiral tails was synthesized, and their thermal and liquid crystalline properties were studied. The chain length of the central polymethylene spacers (x) was varied from dimethylene (2) to decamethylene (12). These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and cross-polarizing microscopy. All compounds were found to be enantiotropically liquid crystalline, and the values of melting ($T_m$) and isotropization temperature ($T_i$) as well as enthalpy change (Δ$H_i$) and entropy change for isotropization (Δ$S_i$) decreased in a zig-zag fashion revealing the so-called odd-even effect as x increases. Their mesomorphic properties fall into three categories depending upon x; (a) compounds with x=2 and 4 formed two different mesophases, smectic and cholesteric phases in that order on heating, and vice versa on cooling, (b) compounds with x=3, 7, 8, 10 and 11 reversibly formed only the cholesteric phase, and (c) compounds with x=5, 6, 9 and 12 exhibited only a cholesteric phase on heating, whereas on cooling they formed two different mesophases, cholesteric and smectic phases, sequentially.

유연격자와 메타크릴로일 기 사이에 도입된 벤젠 고리와 메소겐 구조의 말단에 연결된 키랄 중심을 갖는 새로운 두 계열의 메타크릴레이트 단량체를 합성하였다. 이 두 계열에서 유연격자와 메소겐 기의 길이 변화에 따른 액정형성에 대한 효과를 조사하였다. 첫 번째 계열의 화합물들은 합성과정에서 얻어진 중간물질이나 최종물질에서 액정성을 보이지 않았다. 그러나 두 번째 계열에서는 중간물질 뿐만아니라 최종물질에서도 액정성을 보였다.

TGA분석을 통해 얻어진 결과로 볼 때 액정상과 isotropic상에서 열안정성의 차이는 관찰되지 않았고, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method와 Kissinger method를 이용하여 계산한 열분해 활성화 에너지값의 비교 결과 열분해가 진행되는 동안 일정한 메커니즘이 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다.
