폴리아릴레이트(PAr)와 열방성 액정고분자(LCP)블렌드의 상용성과 두 고분자 사이 의 에스터 교환반응을 시차 주사 열분석기 (DSC)와 Fourier transform 적외선 분광분석기 (FT-IR spectroscopy)로 연구하였다. DSC를 이용하여 PAr-LCP 블렌드의 유리전이온도 (Tg)를 관찰한 결과, 두 개의 Tg가 관찰되었다. 측정된 Tg 결과로부터 블렌드 각 상에 녹아 있는 두성분의 상거동을 조사했으며 그결과 LCP가 PAR-rich 상에 녹아 들어간 양이 PAr 이 LCP-rich 상에 녹아 들어간 양보다 더 많음을 알수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 두 고분자 사 이에 부분적으로 상용성이 있음을 의미한다. 액정고분자의 이방성을 고려하여 PAr-LCP 블 렌드의 고분자-고분자 상호작용계수($\chi$12)는 0.069~0.076의 값으로 계산되었다. 두 고분자사 이의 에스터 교환반응를 조사하기 위하여 DSC내에서 열처리한 결과, 열처리 후에 PAr과 LCp의 Tg는 열처리하기 전에 비해 더 큰폭으로 두 Tg의중간값으로 이동하였다. 열처리한 PAr-LCP 블렌드를 FT-IR spectroscopy로 분석한 결과, 순수한 PAr과 LCP에 없는 새로운 에스터기의 특성피이크가 발견되었다. 이와 같은 열분석과 FT-IR spectroscopy 연구 결과 로부터 주어진 열처리 조건에서 PAr과 LCP 사이에 에스터 교환반응이 일어났음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The alternative refrigerant R436B is applied, to assess the application feasibility for a commercial cooling water system. The characteristic stability was verified by Sealed glass tube test and Autoclave test. R436B is chemically stable with the compressor material. The Oil miscibility test shows the usual compressor oil mixed well with R436B. Through the life acceleration test, the cooling performance is maintained. Though slight changes in oil and capillary tube diameter were found, they were within the permitted range. R436B should be applied to commercial cooling water systems as a simple replacement for the usual refrigerant.

To modify the NBR rubber roll which has poor abrasion and chemical resistance, NBR/PVC blends were prepared in various composition ratios. First of all, their miscibility and vulcanization characteristics were investigated. Their abrasion and chemical resistant properties and physical properties were also studied. DSC thermograms for NBR/PVC blends show only one Tg in the entire composition range, demonstrating a perfect miscibility. In the vulcanization characteristics tested by rheometer, maximum torque decreases as PVC contents increased. In the investigation of physical properties of NBR/PVC blends, hardness increases and elongation decreases along with the increasing contents of PVC. On the other hands, tensile strength increases with the increasing contents of PVC up to 11.1 wt. %, and then decreases with higher contents of PVC. While the abrasion resistance of NBR/PVC blends was similar to that of NBR itself, the chemical resistance of NBR/PVC blends was superior to that of NBR.

On the basis of the previous study[1], miscibility were investigated and intermolecular interaction strength for the miscibility were relatively compared for the blends poly{2,2-(m-phenylene)-5,5'-bibenzimidazole}(PBI) with two aromatic polyimides (PIs) synthesized by another dianhydride. Aromatic PAAs were prepared by the reaction of condensation of two diamines, 4,4'-methylene dianiline(4,4'-MDA) and 4,4'-oxydianiline(4,4'-ODA) with 3,3',4,4'-diphenylsulfone tetracarboxylic dianhydride(DSDA) using DMAc, and then converted into PIs after curing. PBI/PAA blends were prepared by solution blending. Cast films or precipitated powders of the PBI/PAA blends were cared at a high temperature to transform into PBI/PIs blends. Miscibility and specific intermolecular interaction for miscibility in the blends were investigated, and compared with previous polyimide structures of PBI/PIs blends [1]. Two blends, PBI/DSDA+4,4'-MDA(Blend-V) and PBI/DSDA+4,4'-ODA(Blend-VI), were found miscible : the evidences were optically clear films, synergistic single composition dependent $T_g{\prime}s$, and frequency shifts of N-H stretching band as much as $39{\sim}40cm^{-1}$, and of C=O stretching band near 1730 and $1780cm^{-1}$, 5~6 and $3{\sim}4cm^{-1}$, respectively. The specific intermolecular interactions existing between PBI and PIs were relatively analyzed with the area(A) formed between the $T_g{\prime}s$ of the measured and that of the calculated by the Fox equation at all compositions, the ${\kappa}$ values in Gordon-Taylor equation obtained from the measured $T_g{\prime}s$, and differences of the frequency shifts in the functional N-H and carbonyl stretching band. From the results, the area(A) and the ${\kappa}$ values for Blend-V and VI were smaller than those for Blend-III and IV used in previous study[1]. Differences of the frequency shifts in the functional groups(N-H and C=O) also showed similar tendency. Thus, specific intermolecular interaction strength in terms of hydrogen bonding of PBI/PI blends is dependent upon chemical structures of PIs, that is, PIs it seems that $SO_2$ group in dianhydride(DSDA) has weaker hydrogen bond strength than those of C=O in BTDA. In other words, it implies that the former occupied bulk space than the latter due to the sterric effect.

Films of poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/chitosan blends and its blend hydrogels were prepared by the solution casting method. The state of miscibility of the blends and blend hydrogels were examined over the entire composition range by differential scanning carorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). DSC analysis shows the depression of melting point of PVA in the blends and the decrease of crystallization temperature of PVA in the blends were observed with increasing chitosan content in the blends. TGA analysis indicates that chitosan was thermally more stable than PVA and the thermal stability of PVA in the blends was higher than that of pure PVA, due to some interactions between two component polymers in the blend. The glass transition temperature $(T_g)$ of the chitosan and of PVA, measured by DMA, were at 160 and $90^{\circ}C$, respectively. The $T_g$ of the blends was changed with the content of chitosan in the blends. The results of thermal and viscoelastic analysis indicate some miscibility between component polymers in the blend exists. Moisture and cross linking in the blend and blend hydrogel, which strongly change thermal and physical properties of hydrophilic polymers, affected the miscibility of chitosan and PVA to a small extent.

Four kinds of polyamicacids(PAAs) were prepared by the condensation reaction of four diamines with different linkages, 3,3'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone(3,3'-$DDSO_2$), 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone(4,4'-$DDSO_2$), 4,4'-methylene dianiline(4,4'-MDA) and 4,4'-oxydianiline(4,4'-ODA), and dianhydride, 3,3', 4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) using the solvent, dimethylacetamide(DMAc). These four PAAs were blended with poly[2,2-(m-phenylene)-5,5'-bibenzimidazole](PBI) from the solution blending. Then called as Blend-I, II, III, and IV, respectively. Cast films or precipitated powders of the PBI/PAA blends were cured at a higher temperature than expected Tg to transform into PBI/PIs blends. Miscibility, specific intermolecular interaction for miscibility and their relative strength as a function of polyimide chemical structure with different four diamines in the PBI/PI systems were investigated. Four blends used in this study were all miscible, and the specific intermolecular interactions existing in these blends was thought to be the hydrogen bonding between the N-H of PBI and the C=O of PIs. The hydrogen bonding in the blends were shown to be stronger in the Blend-III and Blend-IV than Blend-I and II. It is speculated that the differences of hydrogen bonding strength of PBI/PI blends are dependent upon chemical structures of PIs, that is, PIs consisting of $SO_2$ group have a weaker hydrogen bonding strength than those of O or $CH_2$ group because the former has a larger spacer than the latter.

Poly(4-vinyl phenol) (PVPh) was neutralized by LiOH and PVPh ionomers (PVPh-Li) with different Li neutralization extents were synthesized. The variation in $T_{g}$ with Li neutralization was determined by DSC and the results show that the $T_{g}$ increases by 3.$8^{\circ}C$ per Li mol%. When comparing this result with the 3.$2^{\circ}C$ per Na mol% reported for poly (styrene-co-hydroxy styrene), the greater value for PVPh-Li may be due to a strong interaction between unneutralized free -OH and -OLi produced. No distinct small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) peak was observed for these PVPh ionomers in bulk. In the 50/50 blend of PVPh-Li with PVPh, the miscibile blend was obtained when the Li neutralization in PVPh-Li was 10 mol%. On the contrary, the 50/50 PVPh-Li/PMMA was immiscible when the Li neutralization was 5 mol%. It can be concluded that, even if the starting blend is miscible owing to hydrogen bonding, the miscibility of blend becomes diminished by introducing small amount of ion groups into one of the constituent polymers and the blend can be immiscible as long as any new strong intermolecular ion-dipole interaction is not generated.

It was known that triphenyl phosphate wasn't homogeneously dispersed in HDPE/EPDM/boron carbide blends, which caused the decrease in mechanical properties. HDPE, EPDM, boron carbide, and triphenyl phosphate were blended with PE-g-MAH(polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride) as a compatiblizer for improving the miscibility of triphenyl phosphate. Tensile strength of HDPE/EPDM/boron carbide blends decreased with increasing the contents of triphenyl phosphate for flammability. However, the mechanical properties of HDPE/EPDM/boron carbide/triphenyl phosphate blends increased by the addition of compatiblizer because triphenyl phosphate was homogeneously mixed in the blend system. The homogeneous dispersibility of triphenyl phosphate was confirmed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Increased thermal stability and flammability derived from high miscibility of triphenyl phosphate were confirmed by the results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and limiting oxygen index (LOI). A self-extinguishing HDPE/EPDM/boron carbide/triphenyl phosphate blend was successfully fabricated with more than 21% LOI.

최근 들어 poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT)를 다른 고분자와 블렌딩시켜 특성 변화를 검토한 논문이 많이 발표되고 있는데 PTT와 블렌딩하는 고분자는 주로 PET와 같은 Poly(alkylene terephthalate)계 고분자들이다[1,2]. 나프탈렌환을 갖는 Poly(alkylene naphthalate)계 고분자를 PTT와 블렌딩한 연구는 PTT/poly(ethylene naphthalate)(PEN) 블렌드계[3] 정도가 보고되고 있으며, PTT를 다른 나프탈렌계 고분자와 블렌딩한 연구 결과는 거의 없는 실정이다.

LC and polymer miscibility in HPDLC has been studied in terms of solubility parameter. It was found that better grating formation and diffraction efficiency were obtained when the difference in solubility parameters between polymer and LC is greater.
