Dispersion of the functionalized multiwalled nanotubes (MWNT) in the polyurethane (PU) matrix and DC conductivity of the MWNT/PU composites are investigated with the oxidation conditions, the kind of surfactants and their content. First, the most optimal surfactant type and its critical micelle concentration in the MWNT suspension are determined as a cationic surfactant, benzalkonium chloride (BKC) of 0.6 wt.% to the MWNT content from DEA and FESEM results. All the MWNT oxidized under several conditions are negatively charged and functionalized with carboxylic group, whereas the degree of damage is different from oxidation conditions. In addition, each MWNT/PU composite derived from several oxidation conditions shows different DC conductivity at a characteristic MWNT content. It is found that in order to enhance DC conductivity of the polymeric composites containing the oxidized MWNT the better dispersion of MWNT should be obtained by effective functionalities and surfactant adsorption with preserving the intrinsic geometry of pristine MWNT.

Stereoselective solvolyses of optically active activated esters in the aggregate system of optically active polymeric surfactants containing imidazole and benzene moieties were performed. The catalyst polymers employed were copolymers of N-methacryloyl-L-histidine methyl ester (MHis) with N,N-dimethyl-N-hexadecyl-N-[10-(p-methacryloylo xyphenoxycarbonyl)-decyl]ammonium bromide(DEMAB). In the solvolyses of N-carbobenzoxy-D- and L-phenylalanine p-nitrophenyl esters (D-NBP and L-NBP) by polymeric catalysts, copoly(MHis-DEMAB) exhibited not only increased catalytic activity but also enhanced enantioselectivity as the mole ${\%}$ of surfactant monomers in the copolymers increased. The polymeric catalysts showed noticeable enantioselective solvolyses toward D- and L-NBP of the substrates employed. As the reaction temperature was lowered for the solvolyses of D- and L-NBP with the catalyst polymer containing 3.5 mole ${\%}$ of MHis, the increased reaction rate and enhanced enantioselectivity were observed. The coaggregative systems of the polymer and monomeric surfactants were also investigated. In the case of coaggregate system consisted of 70 mole ${\%}$ of cetyldimethylethylammonium bromide with polymeric catalyst showed maximum enantioselective catalysis, viz., $k_{cat}(L)/k_{cat}(D)$ = 2.85. The catalyst polymers in the sonicated solvolytic solutions were confirmed to form large aggregate structure by electron microscopic observation.

실리콘계 계면활성제는 소수성 유기실리콘 그룹에 하나 또는 그이상의 친수성 극성그룹이 결합되어 있다. 반면에 탄화수소 계면활성제의 소수성 그룹은 탄화수소이다, 실리콘 계면활성제는 낮은 계면장력, 윤활성, 퍼짐성, 발수성, 열 안정성, 화학적 안정성 때문에 폴리우레탄 폼을 시작으로 건설재료, 화장품, 페인트잉크, 농약 등 많은 산업분야에 사용되고 있다. 다양한 응용분야에서의 요구사항을 반영하기 위한 다양한 기능을 가진 폭 넓은 화학구조를 가진 실리콘 계면활성제들이 필요하다. 본 총설에서는 소수성 폴리실록산 중추로서의 폴리디메틸실록산과 반응성 폴리실록산의 성질과 합성방법, 반응성 폴리실록산을 친수성 그룹과 결합시키는 규소수소화반응 같은 주요 반응방법, 그리고 폴리에테르, 이온성, 카보하드레이트 타입 같은 주요 고분자 실록산 계면활성제들의 합성방법을 논의한다.

구조재료로 사용되는 콘크리트란 시멘트, 모래, 자갈과 같은 고형분들이 물에 분산되어 있는 복합물질이다. 수중에 콘크리트 몰탈을 타설할 때, 점탄성 특성이 우수하면 재료 분리가 적고, 물에 쓸려 내려가는 성질이 적고, 또 콘크리트가 잘 충진되어 강도가 강화될 수 있다는 점에서 콘크리트의 레올로지 물성은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 음이온 계면활성제, 양이온 계면활성제, 고분자계 증점제의 사용에 따른 콘크리트 첨가제의 최적 혼합 비율을 알아보았으며, 콘크리트나 몰탈의 레올로지 물성의 변화와 수중불분리성에 대해 연구하였다. 음이온과 양이온 혼합계면활성제를 사용하는 pseudo-polymeric system을 적용한 콘크리트는 고점성이면서 수중불분리성은 우수하지만 펌핑성이 떨어지지만, 여기에 poly methyl vinyl ether (PMVE)를 소량 첨가하면 오히려 점도는 감소되면서 점탄성이 증가되고, 흐름성이 우수하며, 수중불분리성, 펌핑성 및 콘크리트 충진성이 향상되었다.

If the surfaces of vesicles are chemically modified so that they can be dispersed in organic solvents, the application of vesicular colloids may be expanded. A polymerizable surfactant (BDAC) and nonpolymerizable bipolar surfactant (BPAS) were synthesized in multi-steps. Large vesicles composed of BDAC and BPAS with embedded a cross-linking agent (divinylbenzene) underwent a radical polymerization. BPAS was extracted out using methanol (skeletonization). The headgroup of BDAC was cleaved off via hydrolysis in an acidic condition to yield vesicles where surfaces were covered with -COOH groups. There was no significant change in the overall shape. The skeletonized vesicles appear to have many holes with diameters up to about 25 nm. The holes retained even after hydrolysis. The hydrolyzed vesicles were not dispersed in water and most organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and chloroform, but dispersed in methanol.

In the field of material science, the interests and efforts to modify the surface of materials in agreement with the need of usage have been extensively increasing. he modification to improve the wettability of surface is very important is terms of adhesion, printing, etc. It is very difficult to modify metal surface into hydrophilic one. therefore, surfactant coating has been generally used in many cases. However, surfactant has disadvantages such as environmental problem, soluble in water. in this study, hydrophilic polymer films as alternative of surfactant were deposited on metal substrate by DC plasma polymerization. Hydrophilic polymer films deposited by DC plasma show many merits such as good wettability, stone adhesion to substrate, high resistance to most chemicals. Monomer gas and reactive gas were used as source plasma polymerization. Plasma polymerized films were fabricated with process parameters of deposition time, ratio of gas mixture, current, pressure, etc. Effects of these variables on wettability of plasma polymer films will be discussed. With XPS and FT-IR analyses of plasma polymeric films, the relation between wettability and chemical state of polymer films by DC plasma was investigated.

계면활성제(polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP)와 개시제(benzoyl peroxide, BPO)를 95% 알코올을 용매 속에 첨가하여 styrene monomer로부터 나노 크기의 균일한 분포 영역을 갖는 polystyrene (PS)을 제조하였다. Emulsion polymerization방법을 사용하였으므로 중합과정에서 PS입도 크기에 많은 변수가 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 단량체, 계면활성제 및 개시제 등의 농도 영향은 배제하고 가장 큰 변수들로 고려되는 교반 속도와 초음파 조사시간의 영향을 주로 연구하였다. 초음파 조사시간을 조절한 결과 400 nm의 나노 크기를 갖는 PS 입자를 제조할 수 있었다.

A novel fabrication of the patterned surfaces in the polymer films was demonstrated by using the self-organizing character of the block copolymers of polystyrene-b-oligothiophenes and polystyrene-b-aromatic amide dendron. Hexagonally arranged open pores with a micrometer-size were spontaneously formed by casting the polymer solutions under a moist air flow. The amphiphilic character of the block copolymers played the crucial role as a surfactant to stabilize the inverse emulsion of water in the organic solvent, and subsequently the aggregated structure of the hydrophilic oligothiophene or aromatic amide dendron segments remained on the interiors of the micropores. The chemical composition on the top of the surface of the microporous films was characterized by energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) or a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ToF-SIMS). The characterizations clearly indicated that the patterned surfaces in the self-organized block copolymer films with the hexagonally ordered microporous structures were fabricated in a single step.

This study demonstrated the in-situ functionalization with polymers of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) via emulsion polymerization. Polystyrene-functionalized MWNTs were prepared in an aqueous solution containing styrene monomer, non-ionic surfactant and a cationic coupling agent ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trime-thylammonium chloride (MATMAC)). This process produced an interesting morphology in which the MWNTs, consisting of bead-string shapes or MWNTs embedded in the beads, when polymer beads were sufficiently large, produced nanohybrid material. This morphology was attributed to the interaction between the cationic coupling agent and the nanotube surface which induced polymerization within the hemimicellar or hemicylindrical structures of surfactant micelles on the surface of the nanotubes. In a solution containing MATMAC alone without surfactant, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were not well-dispersed, and in a solution containing only surfactant without MATMAC, polymeric beads were synthesized in isolation from CNTs and continued to exist separately. The incorporation of MATMAC and surfactant together enabled large amounts of CNTs (> 0.05 wt%) to be well-dispersed in water and very effectively encapsulated by polymer chains. This method could be applied to other well-dispersed CNT solutions containing amphiphilic molecules, regardless of the type (i.e., anionic, cationic or nonionic). In this way, the solubility and dispersion of nanotubes could be increased in a solvent or polymer matrix. By enhancing the interfacial adhesion, this method might also contribute to the improved dispersion of nanotubes in a polymer matrix and thus the creation of superior polymer nanocomposites.
