  • In this study, we investigated the paraffin encapsulation using double-walled encapsulation technique. The first encapsulation used methyl methacrylic acid as the main component in acrylic polymer and the second encapsulation used melamine polymer. Particles size and distribution of the capsules were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. In the first encapsulation, the stable capsules were obtained at 67% of phase change material ratio to methyl methacrylic acid monomer and the size of the capsule was from 0.2 to $0.3{\mu}m$. In the second encapsulation, the size of the capsules was almost the same with those capsules prepared in the first encapsulation. The particle size of single wall and double wall was about $0.3{\mu}m$. As a result of the encapsulation of paraffin using double-walled encapsulation technique, it was confirmed that the particle size was determined in the process of encapsulating using the acrylic polymer at the first wall material, and the physical and thermal stability of the capsules were imparted using melamine at the secondary wall material.

  • In order to select the best compatibilizer for PE/asphalts mixtures, compatibilities of poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) and poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) based ionomers with asphalts were investigated via optical microscopy, thermal analysis and rheology. By comparing the polarities of ionomers through an ultimate adsorption of moisture, it was observed that the compatibilities of ionomers increase with the increases of the polarities. By rheological investigations, some of ionomer were observed to be not only compatible but also miscible with asphalts.

  • Several poly(alkyl methacrylate-b-t-butyl methacrylate) diblock copolymers were synthesized by group transfer polymerization. The molecular weight of poly(t-butyl methacrylate) segments and the composition of the resulting block copolymers were controlled by the monomer feed ratios and mole ratios of monomer to initiator. The poly(t-butyl methacrylate) block was quantitatively hydrolyzed to poly(methacrylic acid) block by refluxing with a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid in dioxane at $100^{\circ}C$ for 12 hrs. The thermogravimetric analysis of poly(alkyl methacrylate-b-t-butyl methacrylate) exhibited the lose of isobutylene and subsequent anhydride formation in the range of $205-300^{\circ}C$.

  • The purpose of this study is to modify the hydrophobic property and dyeability of polyethylene terephthalate fiber. Methacrylic acid (2nA) was graftpolymerized with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator onto polyethylene terephthalate fabrics. The results were as follow; 1. Graft-polymerization exhibited maximum graft ratio at a temperature of 100"C. 2. The polymer was gradually grafted in great amount to the surface of MA-g-PET as graft ration increase; with the cross-section examination of MA-g-PET, it was discovered that graft-polymeriation had also taken place inside the textile core. 3. Dyes absorption of basic dyes and disperse dyes was improved as craft ratio increase; with resistance to laundering, the former showed grade 3-4 and the latter showed grade 5.de 5.

  • Biocompatible hydrogels from 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomer containing various amount of alginate in the presence and absence of hydrophilic methacrylic acid (MAA) were synthesized in order for biomedical application. The antimicrobial effect and interaction with proteins for hydrogels were investigated in this study. MAA was introduced because it was expected to increase the amount of water content in the polymer which is an important factor for biocompatibility, and alginate was expected to enhance the antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial effect against S. aureus and E. coli increased for all hydrogels as the amount of alginate and MAA contained. Presence of MAA further enhances the antimicrobial effect. Amount of adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) increased with increasing concentration of alginate whether MAA was present or not. Contrarily, the amount of lysozyme was not affected with increasing alginate concentration in the absence of MAA, while it decreased in the presence of MAA.

  • The molecularly imprinted polymers(MIPs) synthesized at various polymerization conditions were examined as ibuprofen receptors in terms of binding characteristics. The 4-vinylpyridine polymers had 1.2 times higher adsorption capability for (S)-(+)-ibuprofen than the methacrylic acid polymers. The methacrylic acid polymers synthesized by UV radiation had 1.9 times higher selectivity for (S)-(+)-ibuprofen compared to those by thermal initiation. Effects of various solvents for binding were also examined in this research. According to the Scatchard analysis, the (S)-(+)-ibuprofen artificial receptors had two different kinds of binding sites for (S)-(+)-ibuprofen while having only single kind of binding site for ketoprofen. The binding sites of (S)-(+)-ibuprofen, n were calculated as 4.3~4.9 $\mu$mol/g and the dissociation constants, $K_D$ were 0.68 mM for the specific binding.
