PTMEG(Polytetramethylene ether glycol) is a polymer compound widely used as a wide range of applications in the textile industry. PTMEG substance carrying various 1,800~2,000 molecular weight are mainly used as the raw material of the spandex production. Molecular weight and degree of polymerization value for 4 different PTMEG samples under pilot plant scale synthetic process were determined by a new quantitative NMR method. In NMR experiments, p-toluenesulfonic acid(TSOH) was used for external standard material of PTMEG quantitative analysis. were measuring The concentration of the primary standard TSOH was measured by UV/Vis spectroscopy. By using NMR peak assignments and the integral values of designated proton NMR peaks, We were able to measure the % composition of the synthetic PTMEG polymers, concentrations, molecular weight and the degree of polymerization that show the synthetic process of each manufacturing pilot plant. By utilizing a newly developed quantitative NMR method were able to obtain the molecular weight of PTMEG samples within 0.08 error % range.

열가소성 폴리우레탄(thermoplastic polyurethane: TPU)의 제조에 사용한 폴리올 종류와 경질부 함량에 따른 TPU의 결정화 거동을 고찰하였다. TPU의 제조에 사용한 폴리올은 분자량이 2000인 poly(tetamethylene ether glycol) (PTMEG), poly(propylene glycol)(PPG) diol, polycaprolactone(PCL) diol, poly(butylene adipate)(PBA) diol을 사용하였으며, 경질부 함량은 $35\~44\;wt\%$였다. TPU의 경질부 냉각 결정화는 경질부 함량이 많을수록 고온에서 관찰되었다. TPU의 등온 결정화 속도는 경질부 함량이 많을수록 빠르고, TPU 제조에 사용한 폴리올 종류별로는 $PTMEG>PPG>PCI{\geqq}PBA$ 경향이 나타나, 연질부와 경질부의 상용성이 낮을수록 용융상태에서 경질부의 수소결합이 용이하고 결정화 속도가 빠르며, 냉각 결정화가 고온에서 나타나는 것으로 해석하였다.

폴리(디메틸 실록산)(PDMS) 성분을 포함하는 폴리우레탄(PU-Si)을 합성하고 이들의 열적 특성과 형상기억 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 메틸렌디페닐 디이소시아네이트와 1,4-부탄디올을 하드세그먼트(HS) 성분으로 하고, 소프트세그먼트(SS) 성분으로 PDMS 디올과 폴리(테트라메틸렌 에테르 글리콜)(PTMEG) 혼합폴리올을 사용하여 HS 함량이 각각 23%와 32%이면서 PDMS 함량이 다른 PU-Si를 용액중합법으로 합성하였다. HS 함량이 23%인 PU-Si의 경우 PDMS 함량 증가에 따라 SS의 냉결정화온도($T_{cc}$)와 용융결정화온도는 증가하였으나 용융온도($T_m$)에는 변화가 없었다. HS 함량이 32%인 시료들의 경우 PTMEG의 $T_m$이 HS 함량 23%인 시료들보다 약간 높은 온도에서 나타났으며 $T_{cc}$는 관찰되지 않았다. PDMS 성분이 포함된 PU-Si 필름들은 PU에 비해 형태고정성은 약간 좋지 않지만 형상기억 효과는 더 우수하였다.

New immunoprotecting membranes were prepared by spin coating the amphiphilic random multiblock copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(tetramethylene ether glycol) (PTMEG) or poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) on porous Durapore(R) membrane. The copolymer coating was intended to make a biocompatible, immunoprotecting diffusional barrier and the supporting porous substrate was for mechanical stability and processability. By filling Durapore(R) membrane pores with water, the penetration of coating solution into the pores was minimized during the spin coating process. A single coating process produced a completely covered thin surface layer (~1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in thickness) on the porous substrate membrane. The permselectivity of the coated layer was influenced by PEG block length, polymer composition, and thickness of the coating layer. A composite membrane with the coating layer prepared with PEG 2 K/PTMEG 2 K block copolymer showed that its molecular weight cut-of fat any 40 based on dextran was close to the molecular size of IgG (Mw = 150 kDa). However, IgG permeation was detected from protein permeation test, while glucose oxidase (Mw = 186 kDa) was not permeable through the coated membrane.

Objectives: Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity at standard temperature and pressure. THF has been used as a solvent and a precursor for various syntheses of polymers. However, THF is known to irritate to the eyes, skin and mucus membranes. Overexposure by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact may produce nausea, dizziness, headaches, respiratory irritation and possible skin burns. The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the worker exposure and characteristics of workers in the workplaces that use or manufacture THF. Methods: Sixteen factories in Korea, which manufacture or use THF, were selected for this study and a total of 130 air samples including 104 time-weighted average (TWA) samples and 26 short-term exposure limit (STEL) samples, were collected. Air samples were collected with charcoal tube (100mg/50mg) and analyzed by gas chromatograph/flame ionization detector(GC/FID). Results: The TWA concentration of THF was 16.05ppm (GM) at PS script printing, 2.32ppm (GM) at PVC stabilizer, 1.03ppm (GM) at Lithium triethylborohydride, 0.63ppm (GM) at Polytetramethylene ether glycol(PTMEG), 0.42ppm (GM) at Manufacturing THF, 0.13ppm (GM) at Glue and 0.12ppm (GM) at synthetic rubber/resins. Two out of sampes for PS script printing exceeded 50ppm as 8-hour exposure limit of MOEL. The short term exposure to THF was 54.77ppm (GM) at PS script printing, 17.10ppm (GM) at PTMEG, 13.76ppm (GM) at Manufacturing THF, 2.86ppm (GM) at Lithium triethylborohydride, 0.87ppm (GM) at synthetic rubber/resins and 0.13ppm (GM) Glue. We found that the highest exposure process for both the TWA and STEL samples was PS script process. Two samples exceeded 100ppm as short term exposure limit of Ministry of Employment and Labor(MOEL). Conclusions: Characteristic of STEL concentration for THF is considerably different from TWA concentration in workplaces because workers could exposure high concentration of THF in a moment when they work irregularly schedule. So exposure controls for momentary works have to be prepared, and considered the skin absorption and inhale of THF.

This study describes the influence of the amount of curing agent and curing temperature on the kinetics of polyurethane elastomers. The urethane prepolymer series was prepared by reacting toluene diisocyanate with polytetramethylene ether glycol at $80^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, and 4,4'-methylene bis(2-chloroaniline) was used as the curing agent. The ratio of the amine group of the curing agent to the isocyanate group of the urethane prepolymer was controlled from 0.85 to 1.05 at curing temperatures ranging from 80 to $120^{\circ}C$. The curing rate of the urethane prepolymer was monitored by observing the change in heat flow during the curing process using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). As either the content of curing agent or the curing temperature was higher, the conversion rate to the polyurethane elastomer was high. The DSC results were compared with those obtained from using real-time FT-IR.

As a coating material for loudspeaker dampers, resilient polyurethane/epoxy hybrid resins were synthesized to replace conventional phenol resin and examined the physical properties, which are not only environmentally friendly but also not harmful to human. Five types of polyurethane resins were synthesized in the step-shot method using methylene diisocyanate, three polyols such as poly tetramethylene ether glycol(PTMEG, MW:2000), poly(1,4-buthylene adipate(PBAP, MW:2000), and poly carbonatediol(PCD, MW:2000), and three chain extenders such as ethylene glycol(EG), neopentyl glycol(NPG), and 1,4-buthandiol(1,4-BD). The five types of synthesized polyurethane resins and commercially available bisphenol A type epoxy resin were blended in weight ratios of 90:10, 70:30, and 50:50 to synthesize 15 types of polyurethane/epoxy hybrid resins. Among the polyurethane resins, the one that was synthesized using PCD and 1,4-BD showed excellent tensile strength, 100% modulus, low extension, and relatively high viscosity. Polyurethane/epoxy hybrid resins with higher epoxy resin contents showed better thermal properties and water resistance while those with higher polyurethane contents showed higher flexibility. The polyurethane/epoxy hybrid resin made by blending the polyurethane based on PCD and 1,4-BD with a bisphenol A type epoxy resin in a weight ratio of 70:30 was identified to be the most suitable to be used in speaker dampers.
