Various enaryloxynitriles-terminated reactive polymer precursors containing rigid aromatic units were prepared from various diamines and 1-(p-formylphenyl)-1-phenyl-2,2-dicyanoethene (1). Arylate end-capped model compounds linked with azomethine bond were also prepared by reacting p-formylphenyl benzoate with diamines to compare the curing ability. The oligomers were highly soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide and N-methyl-2 -pyrrolidinone. They generally showed an exothermic curing process between $280-350^{\circ}C$, attributable to the thermal crosslinking of the dicyanovinyl group in DSC analysis, and no weight loss at curing temperature. Upon heating the polymer precursors, heat-resistant and insoluble network polymers were obtained. Thermogravimetric analyses of the precursors containing rigid aromatic units showed thermal stability with a 77-92% residual weight at $500^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen.

In this study, we investigated the curing properties of UV-LED curable color coating. Specially, the effects of UV-LED wavelength (365, 395, and 405 nm), inert gas, the concentration of photosensitizer, and dual curing on the curing behavior of UV-LED coating systems were studied. The photopolymerization behaviors and the unreacted acrylate groups at Film-air (FA) interface and Film-substrate (FS) interface were investigated by photo differential scanning calorimetry (Photo-DSC) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection (FT-IR/ATR), respectively. Photo-DSC results showed that the heat flow and the ultimate conversion for coating system cured by 405 nm UV-LED were higher than the corresponding values for coating systems cured by 395 and 365 nm UV-LED. FT-IR/ATR results showed that the UV-LED curing systems improved interior and through curing of the coating film, but significantly are affected by oxygen inhibition at FA-interface. The inert environment such as nitrogen purging and the dual curing improved the surface and interior curing of the coating films.

To improve the curing method of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) at low temperature, it was studied to replace the thermal latent curing agent of imidazole compounds by the curing agent of cationically initiating type. Thermo-mechanical properties such as glass transition temperature, storage modulus, and coefficient of thermal expansion were investigated for the analysis of curing behavior. The reliability of ACF were observed in thermal cycle and high temperature-high humidity test. ACF using cationic initiator showed faster curing, lower CTE, and higher $T_g$ than the case of using imidazole curing agent, which is important for the high temperature stability. Furthermore, ACF using cationic initiator maintained a stable contact resistance in reliability test, although it was cured at low temperature and fast rate. With these results, it was confirmed that the curing method of epoxy had great effect on thermo-mechanical properties and reliability of ACF.

A series of vinyl monomers and their saturated model compounds containing different chromophores were synthesized. These monomers display strong intra-molecular fluorescence quenching, their fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes are generally lower than those of their model compounds. It was found that the C=C bonds in these monomers played a key role in the intra-molecular quenching, which was confirmed by intermolecular fluorescence quenching and time-resolved fluorescence studies. On the basis of the intra-molecular quenching, a new fluorescence approach can be developed to monitor the process of the polymerization and curing of bismaleimides, which can directly reflect the C=C bond consumption during polymerization and curing.

Conventional solvent-based polyurethane (PU) is well established for wide applications, such as textile treatments, surface coating, adhesive and so on. Due to the demands of safety, economic, and environmental protection, the solvent-based PU is restricted and has been phasing out and aqueous-based PU is becoming the world market trend, which is an environmental friendly product. The chemical resistance, physical and mechanical properties of aqueous-based PU are still not competible with solvent-based PU. Because of aqueous-based PU is a linear thermoplastic polymer with lower average molecular weight. Their improvements are normally performed by a post-curing reaction or a polymer hybridization to enhance the polymer cross-linking density. Hybridization of PU with aqueous-based epoxy resin or acrylate emulsion and then cured by a curing agent for improving the performance properties and reducing the cost of aqueous-based PU.Furthermore, a special function is added to aqueous-based PU increasing the application value, for examples, flame retardation, polymeric dyes, hydrophilic and etc.

Silica fillers were coated by plasma polymer coatings of 1,3-diaminopropane, allylamine, pyrrole, 1,2-epoxy-5-hexene, allyl mercaptan and allyl alcohol using RF plasma (13.56 MHz). The coated fillers were then mixed with biphenyl epoxy, phenol novolac (curing agent) and/or triphenylphosphine (catalyst), and subjected to DSC analyses in order to elucidate the chemical reaction between functional moieties in the plasma polymer coatings and the epoxy resin. Only the samples with 1,3-diaminopropane and allylamine plasma polymer coated silica fillers showed heat of reaction peaks when they were mixed with biphenyl epoxy resin only, while these samples as well as the samples with 1,3-diaminopropane, allylamine and pyrrole plasma polymer coated silica fillers exhibited heat of reaction peaks when mixed with both biphenyl epoxy and phenol novolac (curing agent).

Effects of such factors as polymerization temperature and a newly synthesized oligomeric photoinitiator(PEDI380) on the electro-optic characteristics of polymer/LC composite films prepared by the UV-curing method were investigated. The polymer-dispersed liquid crystal cells were made with oligomeric photoinitiator PEDI380 by UV-curing method exhibited both low driving volta ge($V_90$) and high contrast ratio under optimum formulation condition.

The imidization effect of a poly (amic acid) dope solution on membrane formation has been investigated. Poly (amic acid) solution in S-methyl-2-pyrrolidione hs been thermally imidized at $120^{\circ}C$ with different curing time and its degree of imidization was determined by infrared spectroscopy. The solution properties have been studied as a function of concentration and curing time by dynamic light scattering. The quality of a solvent was changed from good to poor with increasing imidization of poly(amic acid).The reduced polymer-solvent interaction diminishes the membrane formation time. The morphology of a membrane was able to be controlled by the characteristics of dope solution.

Recently, polymer-modified mortar has been studied for proposed use on industrial floors as top coat with thin thickness, typically 5~15mm. The purpose of this study is to evaluate basic properties of self-leveling materials using polymer dispersions as kinds of SBR, PAE, St/BA with thin coat (under 3mm). Superplasticizer and thickener have been included in the mixes to reduce bleeding and drying shrinkage as well as to facilitate the workability required. The self-leveling materials using four types of polymer dispersion are prepared with polymer-cement ratio which respectively range from 50% and 75%, and tested for basic characteristics such as unit weight, air content, flow, consistency change and adhesion in tension. From the test results, the self-leveling materials using PAE emulsion at curing age of 28days are almost equal to those of conventional floor using urethane and epoxy resin. The adhesion in tension of self-leveling mortars using SBR latex and PAE emulsion at curing age of 3days is over 17 kgf/cm$^2$(1.67MPa). Consistency change is strongly dependent on the type of polymer dispersion. It is concluded that the self-leveling materials using polymer dispersions can be used in the same manner as conventional floor using thermosetting resin in practical applications, in the selection of polymer dispersions.

The addition of montmorillonite (MMT) in the UV curable polyurethane diacrylate based resins was investigated to fabricate nanocomposites with improved mechanical properties and water sorption behavior using different photoinitiator systems. As a result, it was observed that 1 wt% of clay loading fairly improved tensile resistance and water uptake behavior. It can be also confirmed that dual photoinitiator system consisted of benzyldimethyl ketal and bisacyl phosphine oxide exhibited enhanced energy absorption band 340~450 nm even with 3 wt% of MMT concentration, which may affect the curing behavior of nanocomposite especially in our UV lamp system.
