In this study, the dependency of the behavior of propagating front on the reaction condition in frontal polymerization reaction has been studied. We have used some multifunctional acrylates as a monomer and ammonium persulfate as an initiator for the polymerization reactions. In frontal polymerization, a method of producing polymeric materials via a thermal front that propagates through the unreacted monomer/initiator solution, the behavior of self propagating front shows various dynamic patterns depending on the reaction condition. We have obtained some spin modes of propagating front in the number of 'hot spots' or 'spin heads' by changing the reaction condition. The effect of the reactor tube diameter on the mode of propagating front has also been studied by using some reactor tubes with different size of tube diameter and it has been examined in some detail by adopting an experimental method of two-tubes system.

Polyurethane microcapsules containing dibutylphthalate(DBP) were perpared by the interfacial polymerization using diisocyanates and polyois. Effects of chemical structure of PU, dispersing agent and polymerization time on the mean diameter of microcapsules were investigated. The releasing of DBP from microcapsules depended on the chemical structure of PU and solvents. The diameter decreased with increasing dispersing agent concentration, and it is decreased in the order of the dispersing agents using gelatine > PVA > arabic gum at the same concentration. A slight increase in the diameter was observed when the ratio C$H_2$/OOCNH of PU was increased. As the ratio C$H_2$/OOCNH of PU was increased, the amount of extracted DBP for hexane using as a extracting solvent was decreased, however, it was not changed for THF.

Polyaniline (PANI) nanospheres, 4 run in diameter, were fabricated by the microemulsion polymerization of octyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (OTAB). The size of the PANI nanoparticles could be controlled as functions of the surfactant concentration, surfactant spacer length and polymerization temperature. The diameter of the PANI nanospheres decreased with increasing surfactant concentration and decreasing temperature. The PANI nanoparticles revealed enhanced conductivity compared to conventional bulk PANIs. In addition, the PANI nanoparticles could be applied as optically transparent conducting materials due to their high conductivity and the nanosize effect. With 9 wt% PANI in the PC matrix, the PANI/PC film exhibited a conductivity of $8.9\times10^{-3}S/cm$ and transparency exceeding 95% over the entire visible light range.

Oxygen sensitive functional particles(OSParticle) were fabricated by three different methods for using the particles as oxygen sensors and PIV tracers. The used methods were a physical coating method, an ion-exchange method and a dispersion polymerization method. The physical coating method is dipping $SiO_2$ hollow particles into dye solution then drying. This method is very simple, but particles are not uniform in diameter and luminescence. The particles fabricated by the ion-exchange method have very uniform diameter and well doped. However, it can not be used in water since the particles are hydrophobic. In case of the dispersion polymerization method, the diameter of OSParticles is quite uniform. The diameter of OSParticles can be changed by controlling the quantity of AIBN (2,2'-azobis isobutyronitrile). For the purpose of dissolved oxygen concentration measurement in micro scale water flows, the dispersion polymerized OSParticles turn out to be the most superior functional particles. The luminescent intensity of OSParticles was tested with the variation of dissolved oxygen concentration in water samples. As a result, the luminescent intensity of OSParticles is monotonically decreased with increasing DO (Dissolved oxygen) concentration of water.

물을 반응매체로 하고 카본블랙을 함유하는 폴리스티렌 복합체를 현탁중합법을 이용하여 입자형태로의 합성을 시도하였다. 안정제로는 소수성 실리카를, 개시제로는 지용성 안정제인 azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)을 선택하였다. 반응은 $75^{\circ}C$로 고정하였다. 안정제의 농도를 물에 대하여 $0.17{\sim}3.33wt%$까지 변화시킨 결과 1.67 wt%에서 최소 평균입경인 $7.96{\mu}m$의 입자가 형성되었다. 가교제인 divinylbenzene(DVB)은 단량체에 대하여 $0.1{\sim}1.0wt%$까지 변화시킨 결과 가교제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 입자간의 응집이 발생하며 평균입경이 크게 증가하였다. 카본블랙의 농도가 단량체에 대하여 1.0 wt%에서는 단량체만으로 구하여진 입자의 입경에 비하여 평균입경이 큰 폭으로 증가하였다. 이는 혼합물이 분산에 필요한 최소점도에 미치지 못하며 균일한 분산이 이루어지지 못한 결과 발생한 것으로 사료된다. 단량체 대비 3.0 wt% 카본블랙 혼합물의 경우에는 혼합물의 점도 증가로 인한 분산의 향상으로 평균입경이 감소하였다. 이 두 농도의 경우 중합반응 이전의 혼합물의 예비입자 및 중합반응 후의 고분자복합체 입자의 입경은 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 카본블랙의 농도가 단량체 대비 5.0 및 7.5 wt%에서는 혼합물의 점도가 큰 폭으로 상승하고 그 결과 균일한 분산이 이루어지며 예비입자의 평균입경은 감소하였으나, 중합반응 과정에서 입자응집 현상이 발생하며 고분자 복합체의 평균입경은 다시 증가하였다.

Suspension polymerizations of styrene were conducted in the aqueous phase with tricalcium phosphate (TCP) as a stabilizer and $\alpha$, $\alpha$'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator. Various amounts of initiator and stabilizer were selected and the reaction was carried out at a selected temperature between 60 to 80 $\^{C}$. It was found that the combination of 5 wt% stabilizer and 2.427$\times$10$\^$-3/ mol/L of costabilizer is the minimum amount for suspension polymerization reaction to produce particles in the aqueous phase. Particles were found to be polydisperse in diameter, regardless of reaction conditions. Class transitions were observed to be around 95$\^{C}$, nearly independent of reaction temperature and initiator. Homogenizer was found to be essential in forming particles in the proximity of tens of micrometers in diameter in suspension polymerization with TCP as stabilizer.

음이온개시제인 $K_2S_2O_8$ (KPS)와 양이온개시제인 2,2' azobis(2-methyl-propionamidine) dihydrochloride (AIBA)를 이용하여 MMA와 BMA 단량체간의 무유화공중합을 성공적으로 수행하여 PSD가 1.002~1.008인 단분산성이 우수한 poly(BMA-co-MMA)와 PBMA 라텍스들을 제조하였다. 실험결과, 160~494 nm 범위의 수평균입자경과 (1.25~7.55) ${\times}10^4$ 범위의 수평균분자량을 나타내었다. MMA/BMA 유화중합에 따르는 중합속도와 단량체 및 개시제 농도, DVB/EGDMA 가교제 농도, 중합온도 변화에 따르는 수평균입자경과 수평균분자량의 영향을 조사하였다. MMA/BMA 단량체 중 MMA 농도가 증가함에 따라 중합속도가 증가하였으며 일반적으로 이들 라텍스의 평균입자경과 평균분자량은 MMA/BMA 단량체중량비, 단량체량, 개시제량, 중합온도에 따라 쉽게 조절됨을 발견하였다.

Dispersion polymerization of acrylamide was carried out in the media of methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ mixtures using hydroxypropyl cellulose and ammonium persulfate as steric stabilizer and initiator, respectively. The effects of concentrations of initiator and steric stabilizer, amount of monomer, polymerization temperature, methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ ratio, and purification of monomer and nitrogen purge on the particle size of the latices and molecular weight of the polymers were investigated. The average particle diameter increased with increasing concentration of initiator, water content in methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ media, and polymerization temperature, but decreased with monomer and stabilizer concentrations. The viscosity average molecular weight increased with increasing concentrations of monomer, steric stabilizer, and water content in dispersion media, but decreased with initiator concentration and polymerization temperature. The PAM polymers prepared with the purified monomer and the nitrogen purging before the reaction showed the highest molecular weight.

Stable poly(methyl methacrylate-co-divinylbenzene) (poly(MMA-co-DVB)) microspheres were prepared by precipitation polymerization using acetonitrile as the main medium under various polymerization conditions, including modifications of the agitation speed, monomer and initiator concentrations, DVB content in the monomer mixture, and the use of various cosolvents. Gentle agitation was required to obtain smooth spherical particles. The individually stable microspheres were obtained at monomer concentrations of up to 15 vol% in an acetonitrile medium. The number-average diameter increased linearly with respect to increases in the monomer and initiator concentrations. We found, however, that the uniformity of the microspheres was independent of the variation of the polymerization ingredients because nuclei formation was solely influenced by the crosslinking reaction of the monomers. We obtained higher yields for the polymerization at higher concentrations of monomer and initiator. The concentration of DVB in the monomer mixture composition played an important role in determining not only the size of the microspheres but also the yield of the polymerization. In addition, although we employed various cosolvents as the polymerization medium, we found that acetonitrile/2-methoxyethanol was the only system that provided spherical particles without coagulation. This finding indicates that the precipitation polymerization is strongly dependent on the solvent used as the medium.

Sorbitan ester(Span)와 2,2'-azobis(2-methyl propionamidine) dihydrochloride(AIBA)를 각각 입자안정제와 개시제로 사용하여 cyclohexane 분산매에서 acrylamide (AM)의 역상 현탁중합을 다양한 중합 조건하에서 수행하여 생성되는 poly(acrylamide)(PAM) 현탁입자의 입자경, 평균분자량, 수용화도 등을 조사하였다. 일반적으로 PAM 현탁입자경은 입자안정제의 농도, 진탕속도, 수용상 성분 중 물의 양이 증가함에 따라, 또는 개시제의 농도, 중합 온도가 감소함에 따라 감소하였다. PAM 현탁중합체의 평균분자량은 단량체의 농도, 입자안정제의 농도가 증가함에 따라, 또는 개시제의 농도, 중합 온도, 수용상 성분중 물의 농도가 감소함에 따라 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 PAM 현탁입자는 구슬형의 약 2 ~ 50 ${\mu}$m 범위의 입자경과 약 800 ~ 1200만의 중량평균분자량을 나타내었다.
