Blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared by solution casting method. Calorimetric thermal properties of the blends were investigated. The $T_gs$ of PVA/PEI blends were higher than the $T_gs$ of either of the component polymers at low concentrations of PEI. These abnormal increases of $T_gs$ may be due to the negative entropy of mixing which is associated with strong hydrogen bonding between PVA and PEI. The degree of depression of $T^0_ms$ was not reduced by the negative entropy of mixing, since strong hydrogen bonding also causes an increase in the magnitude of negative ${\chi}$ between PVA and PEI. The $T_g$ of PVA was increased significantly by adding 0.7 wt.% GO into PVA. The magnitude of negative ${\chi}$ was increased by adding GO into the blends of PVA and PEI.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of total polymer concentration on the chemical structure, morphology of pores, porosity, swelling ratio, degradation of gelatin-poly (vinyl alcohol) (Gel-PVA) cryogel scaffolds. Porous cryogels were prepared with cryogelation technique by using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. Functional group composition of cryogels after crosslinking was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The morphology of cryogels was characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and porosity analysis. All of the cryogels had a porous structure with an average pore size between $45.58{\pm}14.28$ and $50.14{\pm}4.26{\mu}m$. The cryogels were biodegradable and started to degrade in 14 days. As the polymer concentration increased the swelling ratio, the porosity and the degradation rate decreased. Spongy and mechanically stable Gel-PVA cryogels, with tunable properties, can be potential candidates as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.

음이온 교환막은 전기투석뿐만 아니라 역전기투석에 의한 전기생산과 축전 탈이온에 의한 정수 분야에 이용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리비닐알콜 수용액 상에서 (vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride와 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate를 중합한 후 글루타르산과의 에스테르화 반응, 그리고 글루타르알데히드와 가교반응을 통해서 음이온 교환막을 제조하였다. 실험 변수에 따라 음이온 교환막을 제조하고 이온교환막의 전기화학적 물성을 조사하였다. 중합반응에서 음이온 교환성 단량체 비율에 따라 이온교환량과 저항 값이 변하였으며, 에스테르화 반응에서는 글루타르산의 함량의 증가에 따라 함수율과 전도도가 감소하였다. 형성된 필름과 알데히드의 가교반응 시간 변화는 함수율, 전기저항, 이동수 값들에 영향을 미쳤다. 끝으로 제조된 이온 교환막의 chronopotentiometry와 한계전류밀도도 측정하였다.

Multilayer Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA)/ Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) bone plates were fabricated using electrospinning and in vitro investigations were carried out for pre-clinical biocompatibility studies. The initial cellular cytotoxicity of the methacrylate (PMMA)/ Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) bone plates was measured by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay using fibroblast-like L-929 cells. Cellular adhesion and differentiation studies were carried out using osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. As simulated body fluid (SBF) contains the same ionic concentration of body fluid and any bioactive material tends to deposit bone-like apatite on the samples surfaces into the SBF, in vitro bioactivity of the multilayer bone plates were investigated using SBF. We also studied the internal organization and tensile strength of the multilayer PMMA/PVA bone plates using micro-computed topography (${\mu}$-CT) and universal testing instrument (UTI, Korea) respectively. The cellular cytotoxicity study with MTT confirmed that the cellular viability was 78 to 90% which indicates good cyto-compatibility. Scanning electron microscopic findings revealed a good attachment and adhesion phenomenon of MG-63 cells onto the surfaces of the samples. Cellular differentiation studies also showed that osteogenic differentiation was switched on in a timely manner and affirmed along with that of the control group. Bone-like apatite formation on the surfaces was confirmed within 14 days of SBF incubation. Initial organizations of the multilayer PMMA/PVA bone plates were characterized as dense and uniform. The tensile strength of the post-pressing electronspun mat was higher than that of the pre-electronspun mat. These results suggest that a multilayer PMMA/PVA bone plate system is biocompatible, bioactive and a very good alternative bone plate system.

Bulk polymerization was used to produce poly(vinyl acetate) with different molecular weights, which were then saponified to prepare poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with different molecular weights. With P_n of 2,060 and 3,240, the optimum film formation concentrations of PVA were found 7.5wt.% and 6.5wt.%, respectively. The drawing characteristics of the PVA film prepared at the optimum film formation concentrations were experimented, as well as the thermal characteristics of the PVA film based on the drawing ratio were observed. When the drawing velocity was fixed, it was found that the drawing ratios of all samples decreased as the heat band gap increased, and the melting temperature of the PVA film slightly increased as the drawing ratio increased regardless of the P_n of PVA.

Poly(vinyl phosphate-b-styrene) (PVPP-b-PS) block copolymers were synthesized successfully from poly(vinyl alcohol-b-styrene) (PVA-b-PS) by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride and subsequent hydrolysis. The obtained block copolymers were slightly crosslinked, and were characterized by various analytical techniques. The total phosphorus content and the ratio of the differently bound phosphorus were obtained by both solid-state $^{31}P$ NMR and pH titration, but the results differed slightly. Characterization by energy dispersion X-ray analysis (EDS) or Rutherford back scattering (RBS), on the other hand, determined the total phosphorus contents, but the results were quite different from those by solid-state $^{31}P$ NMR.

Thermal cross-linking method of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) using poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was carried out on PVA/PAA hydrogels. The level of gelation was measured in the PVA/PAA hydrogels with various PAA contents. The swelling behavior at various pHs showed that the swelling kinetics and water contents of the PVA/PAA hydrogels reached equilibrium after 30 h, and the time to reach the equilibrium state decreased with increasing PAA content in the hydrogel. The water content increased with increasing pH of the buffer solution. The permeation and release of the drug were tested using indomethacin as a model drug. The permeated and released amounts of the drug increased with decreasing the PAA content because of the low free volume in the hydrogel due to the higher cross-linking density. The kinetic profile of drug release at various pHs showed that all samples reached the equilibrium state within the 5 h.

비닐아세테이트-비닐알핀을 (VAc-VAL) 공중합체의 조성에 따른 폴리(4-비닐피리딘)(P4VP)/VAc-VAL 공중합체 블렌드의 상용성을 조사하였다. 블렌드 시료의 시차 주사 열분석(DSC0 및 광학현미경에 의한 상분리온도 조사(TOM)를 통하여 P4VP는 VAL의 조성이 30 mole% 이상 함유된 VAc-VAL 공중합체들과 상용성이 있음이 확인되었다. 상용성 P4VP/Vac-VAL 공중합체 블렌드의 푸리에 변환 적외선(FT-IR) 분광 분석 결과 비닐피리딘과 비닐알코올 히드록실기 상에 강한 분자간 수소결합이 형성됨을 확인하였다. 성분 고분자 사이에 분자간 수소결합에 의해서 고분자 블렌드의 상용성이 유도되는 고분자 블렌드계의 열역학적 모델인 Association 모델을 이용하여 P4VP/VAc-VAL 공중합체 블렌드의 이론적인 상 그림을 구하였다. 이론적으로 계산된 binodal 곡선을 실험적으로 구한 흐림점 생성 곡서과 잘 일치하는 결과를 보였다.

아세트산비닐(VAc)을 아조비스디메틸발레로니트릴(ADMVN) 및 삼차부틸알코올 (TBA)을 각각 개시제 및 용매로 하여 30, 40 및 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 용액중합하였다. 합성된 폴리아세트산비닐 (PVAc)을 비누화함으로써 고분자량 혼성배열 폴리비닐알코올(PVA)을 제조하였다. 중합조건들이 전환률, 가지화도 및 PVAc와 PVA의 분자량에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. TBA에서의 VAc의 중합 속도는 ADMVN 농도의 0.49승에 비례하였고, 이는 이론치 0.5와 잘 일치하였다. 저온에서 개시가 가능한 ADMVN 및 낮은 사슬이동상수를 갖는 TBA를 사용함으로써 고분자량 및 고수율의 PVA가 얻어졌다. PVAc의 평균 중합도는 전환률 약 35%부터 70%의 범위에서 10000~13000이었고, 이를 비누화하여 얻은 PVA의 평균 중합도는 2400~6100이었다. 교대배열 다이애드기 함량은 중합온도를 낮춤에 따라 조금씩 증가하였고, 중합시 TBA의 입체장애 효과 때문에 TBA의 양을 증가시킴에 따라서도 증가하였다.

본 연구에서는 titanium nitride (TiN) 나노 섬유와 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT-PSS) 전도성 고분자로 이루어진 전극과 poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) 기반 고분자 전해질 분리막을 이용하여 슈퍼 캐퍼시터를 제조하였다. TiN 나노 섬유의 경우 높은 전기 전도도와 이차원적 구조로 인한 스케폴드 효과를 기대할 수 있다는 점에서 전극 물질로 사용되었다. PEDOT-PSS 전도성 고분자는 수소 이온과 산화-환원 반응을 통해 보다 높은 정전용량을 나타낼 수 있으며 용액상에 분산이 용이해 유무기 복합제를 형성하기에 적합하였다. PVA 기반의 고분자 전해질 분리막은 기존의 액상의 전해질의 문제인 외부 충격에 대한 안정성을 확보할 수 있으며 염으로 사용된 $H_3PO_4$의 경우 수소 이온은 빠른 확산으로 인해 캐퍼시터의 충방전 효율에 이점이 있다. 본 연구에서 보고된 PEDOT-PSS/TiN 슈퍼캐퍼시터의 정전용량은 약 75 F/g으로 기존의 탄소기반 캐퍼시터에 비해 큰 폭으로 증가한 값이다.
