The interfacial polymerization method has been applied to various fields as a reaction in which reactive monomers dissolved in two immiscible solutions cause polymerization at the interface. In the case of water treatment membranes, m-phenylene diamine and trimesoyl chloride are used as reactants. The performance of the membrane is affected by various polymerization factors. In this study, we investigated how the spreading rate of the organic solution influences the surface and structure of the membrane. Spreading rate of organic solutions was adjusted to 7.6 and 25 mm/sec. The solution volume of the organic phase was adjusted to 1~3 drops. The observed results showed that cracks were not found in the polyamide membrane when dropping at a drop of 7.6 mm/sec and dropping two drops at 25 mm/sec. On the other hand, cracks occurred in all cases. Therefore, the spreading rate of the initial organic solvent is expected to greatly affect the performance of the polyamide membrane.

Radiation grafting of acrylic acid onto nylon fabric has been studied by "simultaneous irradiation" method to render its surface more hydrophilic. Nylon fabric immersed in monomer solution was irradiated in air or under vacuum with gamma-rays from Co-60. Most parts of polyacrylic acid formed on the surface of the fabric were extracted off from the fabric with 0.1% solution of sodium hydroxide at 10$0^{\circ}C$. The chemical components of the grafted product have been determined. By comparing graft polymer with ungrafted polyamide, the rate of water absorption and antistatic behavior are improved. improved.

We functionalized a wear-resistant carbon-based MoS2 filler to solve its limited wear condition problem. The filler exhibits excellent lubricative properties. The surface modification of MoS2 was carried out using a (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) silane coupling agent to improve the low compatibility and dispersibility of the filler that generally degrade the performance of composites. A silane coupling agent was employed for the functionalization of MoS2, and its effect on the wear resistance of MoS2/Polyamide-6,6 was investigated. The silanization of MoS2 was identified by contact angle analysis and Fourier-transform infrared, energy dispersive X-ray, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The wear resistance of the composite was found to be improved significantly by the surface functionalization of MoS2.

The aromatic hyperbranched polyamide was synthesized from 5-aminoisophthalic acid by direct polycondensation with triphenylphosphite (TPP) catalyst as a condensing agent. The modification of end-groups in the resulting hyperbranched polymer (HBP) with various alkyl alcohols were conducted. The modification of end-groups of HBP by alkyl groups resulted in an improved solubility in the THF comparing to that of the carboxylic acid-terminated aromatic HBP, Also, 10 wt$\%$ weight loss temperature decreased by increasing the length of alkyl group.

Polymers are widely used as membrane material for performing the separation of various gaseous mixtures due to their attractive permselective properties and high processability. The separation characteristics of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ mixed gas using polyamide composite membrane has been studied in this work. The sample gas was prepared by mixing pure methane and carbon dioxide. Permeation tests were carried out at different operation conditions. Feed flow rates were varied between 800~1000 $cm^3/min$, and the stage cuts were varied between 50~60%. The gas inlet pressure and the temperature were varied as 6 bar and $30{\sim}70^{\circ}C$, respectively. The effects of the above mentioned parameters were investigated to estimate the permeability of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$, and the selectivity of $CO_2$ was also calculated for all conditions. The Arrhenius plots were also performed to obtaine the activation energies of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ permeabilities.

Unidirectional commingled-yarn-based carbon fiber(CF)/polyamide(PA) 6 composite was fabricated under molding pressures of 0.4, 0.6 and 1.0 MPa to study its flexural deformation and fracture behavior. Fiber/matrix interfacial bonding area became larger with an increase of molding pressure from 0.4 to 0.6 MPa. For molding pressures .geq. 0.6 MPa, good flexural performance of similar magnitudes was attained. For the fracture test, four kinds of notch direction were adopted : edgewise notches parallel (L) and transverse (T) to the major direction of fiber bundles, and flatwise notches parallel(ZL) and perpendicular(ZT) to this direction. Nominal bend strength for L and ZL specimens exhibited high sensitivity to notching. ZL specimens revealed the lowest values of the critical stress intensity factor $K_c$ which was slightly superior to those of unfilled PA6 matrix. Enlargement of the compression area for T specimens was analyzed by means of the rigidity reduction resulting from the fracture occurrence.

In this study polyamide 6,6 based thermoplastic composite with graphite and carbon black had been examined feasibility for separators of fuel cell which requires good mechanical and electrical properties with gas impermeability. The effects of molding pressure and filler content on the properties of the composite were investigated. Maximum flexural modulus was obtained about 80 wt% graphite, while electrical conductivity increased with graphite content. Flexural strength increased with molding pressure and tended to level-off from $400\;kgf/cm^2$. Molding pressure did not affect the electrical conductivity. The addition of carbon black enhanced the electrical conductivity of the composite. Mechanical properties were decreased under acidic condition.

Hot melt adhesive based on the polyamide resin was studied to improve the conventional hot melt adhesives such as ethylene-vinyl acetate which have inherent problems against creep and heat resistance. It was found that the terpolymer of nylons6, nylon66, and nylon12 or the nylon blend instead of nylon homopolymer was suitable base resin for hot melt adhesives, since the disruption of regularity in the polymer chains reduced the crystallinity, resulting in lower melting point and melt viscosity. Also, the rheological properties of the polyamide based hot melt adhesive could be controlled by the incorporation of terpene resin, butyl benzyl phthalate, and paraffin wax. The results of melt viscosities and tensile properties of adhesive itself indicated that the optimum adhesion properties could be obtained through the blending of CM831/843P resins with weight ratio 75/25~50/50. The adhesion between steel and steel was tested by using lap shear geometry. It was found that the surface roughness of steel affected the adhesion strength.
