Immobilization method of lariat azacrown ethers, containing hydroxyl group in the side arm of crown ring, on the polymer matrix and the phase-transfer catalytic activity of thus obtained immobilized lariat azacrown ethers were studied. Polystyrene resins with crown ether structures and hydroxyl groups adjacent to the macrorings were prepared by the reaction of crosslinked polystyrene resins containing epoxy groups with monoaza-15-crown-5 or monoaza-18-crown-6. Microporous crosslinked polystyrene resins containing epoxy group for the syntheses of these immobilized lariat crown catalysts were prepared by suspension polymerization of styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB 2%) and vinylbenzylglycidyl ether. The immobilized lariat catalysts with 10-20% ring substitution exhibited maximal activity for the halogen exchange reactions of 1-bromooctane with aqueous KI or NaI under triphase heterogeneous conditions. Immobilized catalyst exhibited higher activity than corresponding catalyst without the hydroxyl group and this result was suggested that the active site have a structure in which the $K^+$ ion was bound by the cooperative coordination of the crown ring donors and the hydroxyl group in the side arm.

Carbon supported electrocatalysts are commonly used as electrode materials for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs). These kinds of electrocatalysts provide large surface area and sufficient electrical conductivity. The support of typical PEM fuel cell catalysts has been a traditional conductive type of carbon black. However, even though the carbon particles conduct electrons, there is still significant portion of Pt that is isolated from the external circuit and the PEM, resulting in a low Pt utilization. Herein, new types of carbon materials to effectively utilize the Pt catalyst are being evaluated. Carbon nanofiber/activated carbon fiber (CNF/ACF) composite with multifunctional surfaces were prepared through catalytic growth of CNFs on ACFs. Nickel nitrate was used as a precursor of the catalyst to synthesize carbon nanofibers(CNFs). CNFs were synthesized by pyrolysising $CH_4$ using catalysts dispersed in acetone and ACF(activated carbon fiber). The as-prepared samples were characterized with transmission electron microscopy(TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM). In TEM image, carbon nanofibers were synthesized on the ACF to form a three-dimensional network. Pt/CNF/ACF was employed as a catalyst for PEMFC. As the ratio of prepared catalyst to commercial catalyst was changed from 0 to 50%, the performance of the mixture of 30 wt% of Pt/CNF/ACF and 70wt% of Pt/C commercial catalyst showed better perfromance than that of 100% commercial catalyst. The unique structure of CNF can supply the significant site for the stabilization of Pt particles. CNF/ACF is expected to be promising support to improve the performance in PEMFC.

크라운 에테르를 반복 사용 기능의 상이동 촉매(phase transfer catalyst ; PTC)로 유도하기 위해 고분자 물질로 지지된 크라운 에테르(polymer-supported crown ether ; Ps-CE)류를 합성하고, 이들 Ps-CE(solid phase)를 이용하여 액-고-액 3상 불균일계에서의 1-bromooctane(유기층)의 iodide(수용층) 친핵 치환 반응속도를 측정하고 그 상이동 촉매능을 연구검토하였다. Ps-CE류는 hydroxymethyl기를 지니는 크라운 에테르류를 합성한 후 이를 1∼2% cross-linked chloromethylated polystyrene 에그라프트시켜 제조하였다. 3상 불균일계치환반응은 반응기질의 농도에 의존하는 유사 일차반응이었고 반응속도상수$(k_{obsd})$는 사용한 촉매량에 비례하였으며, 가교밀도, 온도, 용매 등에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. Ps-CE의 촉매능을 구조적으로 유사한 가용성 크라운 에테르의 촉매능과 비교하였으며, 반응 후 단순히 여과분리하고 이를 PTC로서 반복사용하였을때 촉매능의 감소없이 재사용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 반응의 활성화 엔탈피 및 엔트로피는 각각 10∼20kcal $mol^{-1}, 20~55eu.이었고 활성화 자유 에너지는 ∼30kcal mol^{-1}$,/TEX>이었다.

MCM-41 (Mobil Composition of Matter) and SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous) were used as a supported catalyst for ethylene polymerization due to their combination of large surface area and wide range of pore size distribution. The morphology of supports was used to control the morphology of the resulting polymer. Different molar ratios of Al/Ti were used for ethylene polymerization at $60^{\circ}C$ under atmospheric pressure. The effect of different mass ratios of MCM-41/SBA-15 and 1-hexene concentration on polymerization activity and polymer properties was investigated. The catalytic activity and the crystallinity reached the highest value at Al/Ti of 480. Upon incorporation of MCM-41 and SBA-15 into $MgCl_2/TiCl_4$ catalyst, the molecular weight and crystallinity of polyethylene were enhanced. The obtained polyethylene showed melting temperature between 130 and $135^{\circ}C$. The polyethylene with replication structure of support and bimodal MWD was expected.

Styrenated phenol alkoxylate (SP-A)는 일반적으로 균일계 염기 촉매 하에서 styrenated phenol (SP)과 ethylene oxide (EO)로부터 제조되어진다. 그러나, 취급이 용이하지 않은 EO를 사용하려면 고압반응장치를 이용한 반응공정 제어가 필요하다. 또한, 균일계 염기 촉매를 사용하면 반응종결 후에 잔존하는 염기를 제거하기 위한 중화공정이 필요하고, 촉매와 생성물의 분리가 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 균일계 염기 촉매를 사용하지 않고 불균일계염기 촉매를 사용하여 SP와 ethylene carbonate (EC)의 반응으로부터 제조된 SP-A에 대하여 보고하고자 한다. SP-A의 제조에 사용된 불균일계 염기 촉매는 KOH를 $La_2O_3$에 담지시킨 후, 소성하여 얻었다. 또한, EO 대신 EC를 사용함으로써 고압반응이 아닌 상압반응 조건에서 SP-A제조가 가능하였다. 합성된 SP-A의 평균 분자량 크기는 반응조건에 따라서 매우 다양하게 나타났다. $KOH/La_2O_3$촉매 하에서 제조된 SP-A의 평균 분자량 크기는 반응온도, 촉매의 첨가량 및 EC의 첨가량을 조절함으로써 임의로 조절이 가능하였다.

Transport phenomena of reactant and product are directly linked to intrinsic inhomogeneous random configurations of catalyst layer (CL) that consist of ionomer, carbon-supported catalyst (Pt/C), and pores. Hence, electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of Pt/C is dominated by geometrical morphology of mass transport path. Undoubtedly these ECSAs are key factor of total fuel cell efficiency. In this study, non-deterministic micro-scale CLs were randomly generated by Monte Carlo method and implemented with the percolation process. To ensure valid inference about Pt/C catalyst utilization, 600 samples were chosen as the number of necessary samples with 95% confidence level. Statistic results of 600 samples generated under particular condition (20vol% Pt/C, 30vol% ionomer, 50vol% pore, and 20nm particle diameter) reveal only 18.2%~81.0% of Pt/C can construct ECSAs with mean value of 53.8%. This study indicates that the catalyst utilization in fuel cell CLs cannot be identical notwithstanding the same design condition.

In order to commercialize Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC), the cathode catalyst such as Platinum supported Carbon (Pt/C) need to have a high activity of Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR). In this study, the 20% Pt/C was synthesized using the chemical reduction method while the crystallinity of Platinum (Pt) particles were controlled under heat treatment conditions. The activity of synthesized Pt catalysts was evaluated using electrochemical measurement. Compared with the $i_{ORR}$ at 0.8 V of 20% Pt/C heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ and the 20% Pt/C that were not heated and commercial 20% Pt/C, the $i_{ORR}$ at 0.8 V of 20% Pt/C heattreated at $500^{\circ}C$ was 9.5 and 1.7 times higher than those of the 20% Pt/C and commercial 20% Pt/C that were not heated. It was considered that the crystallinity and particle size affect the ORR activity of the Pt/C catalysts.

In this study, in-situ trans-selective polymerization of isoprene was carried out using titanium-based Ziegler-Natta catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by high-energy ball milling. Individually Large-inner-diameter carbon nanotubes (CNTL), and hydroxylated carbon nanotubes (CNTOH), along with magnesium chloride ($MgCl_2$) were used as the carriers for the catalysts. The optimum ball-milling time for preparing the $CNT/MgCl_2/TiCl_4$ Ziegler-Natta catalysts was 4 h. The $CNTOH/MgCl_2/TiCl_4$ catalyst showed a higher efficiency than that of the $CNTL/MgCl_2/TiCl_4$ catalyst, based on the rate of polymerization. The effects of the CNT-filler type on the isoprene polymerization behaviors and polymer properties were investigated. The morphologies of the trans-1,4-polyisoprene (TPI)/CNT and TPI/CNTOH nanocomposites exhibited a tube-like shape, and the CNTL and CNTOH fillers were well dispersed in the TPI matrix. In addition, the thermal stability of TPI significantly increased upon the introduction of a small amount of both CNTL/CNTOH fillers (0.15 wt%), owing to the satisfactory dispersion of the CNTL/CNTOH in the TPI matrix.

메조포러스 물질의 표면을 post-synthesis grafting method를 통해 표면을 기능화시킨 후 $(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$/methylaluminoxane(MAO)를 담지하여 에틸렌 중합을 실시하였다. 아민기와 시안기를 가지는 유기실란 $N$-[(3-trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine(2NS), 4-(triethoxysilyl)butyronitrile(1NCy), 1-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-2-imidazoline(2NIm)는 메조포러스 물질의 표면 기능화에 사용되었다. SBA-15/2NS/$(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$촉매 담지시 MAO의 양이 증가할수록 Zr 함량은 감소하였고 Al 함량은 증가하였다. 에틸렌 중합 활성은 MAO의 양이 증가할수록 급격히 증가함을 볼 수 있었다. 담지시간이 6시간일 때 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 유기실란의 종류에 따른 활성 차이는 SBA-15/2NS/$(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ > SBA-15/2NIm/$(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ > SBA-15/1NCy/$(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ 순으로 감소하였다. 아민기를 두 개 갖는 2NS와 2NIm은 아민기를 하나 갖는 1NCy보다 $(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$와 더 강하게 상호작용을 한다. 따라서 촉매 내 질소와 Zr함량이 증가할수록 활성은 증가하였다.

$Cp_2ZrCl_2$ 촉매를 Montmorillonite (MMT) 담체에 각기 다른 3가지 방법[MMT/$Cp_2ZrCl_2$, MMT/MAO/$Cp_2ZrCl_2$, MMT/(MAO + $Cp_2ZrCl_2$)]을 적용하여 불균일 촉매를 제조하였고, 이를 이용하여 에틸렌 중합 특성을 조사하였다. 유기점토인 30B-MMT에 담지한 불균일계 촉매가 자연점토인 $Na^+-MMT$에 담지한 촉매보다 높은 담지율을 나타내었고, 에틸렌 중합에서 높은 활성을 보였다. 이는 유기점토의 층간사이에 존재하는 하이드록시기가 MAO 및 촉매와의 화학적 결합을 유도한다고 할 수 있다. MMT에 직접 메탈로센을 담지하여 에틸렌 중합에 사용할 경우 균일계 촉매에 비해 낮은 활성을 보이지만, MMT를 MAO로 처리해서 만든 MMT/MAO/$Cp_2ZrCl_2$ 촉매에 MMAO의 조촉매를 사용하여 중합시에는 높은 활성을 나타내었다. MMT 담지촉매로 제조된 폴리에틸렌은 담지방법에 관계없이 균일계 촉매에 비해 높은 용융점, 분자량, 분자량 분포를 보였으며, 또한 입자형상에 있어 크기가 상당히 증가한 구형의 입자를 나타내었다. 또한 가장 안정적인 담지 반응과 높은 활성을 나타낸 30B-MMT/MAO/$Cp_2ZrCl_2$ 촉매로 최적의 중합조건을 찾기 위해 공정변수에 따라 에틸렌 중합을 수행하였다.
