Polyester type polyurethane foam has low hydrolysis resistance. It was overcome with addition of acrylic polyol by quasi prepolymer method. Tensile strength and hardness of polyurethane foam contained acrylic polyol was increased with increasing of acrylic polyol contents. But split tear strength and tear strength was slightly changed. Hydrolysis resistance of polyurethane foam was measured by loss % of tensile strength. It was improved with increasing of acrylic polyol contents from 25.5g to 102g.

Polyurethane NCO prepolymers were synthesized with the polyols such as PTMG, GP and the isocyanate such as TDI at $40^{\circ}C$ for 8.5 minutes. As average molecular weights (${\bar{M_n}}$: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000) of PTMG, and GP were decreased from 4000 to 1000, ratio of oil gelation increased from 298%, to 440%, for Bunker B. When oil and water were emulsified, the ratio of gelation was increased approximately two times. Ratio of gelation for emulsive Bunker B was increased from 402% to 910%, for PTMG1000 and increased from 440%, W 958% for GPI1000. Ratio of oil gelation for emulsive Bunk C which has higher viscosity than Bunker B was measured w 923% for PTMG1000 made with chain extender, i.e. EG, and measured to 1098% for GP1000. The gel made from GP which has three functional group showed soft and strong characteristic, as a result, it can be removed easily from oil spilled ocean.

In this study, dye encapsulated microcapsules were produced by polyurethane prepolymer synthesis method using hexamethylene diisocyanate, ethylene glycol and methyl ethyl ketone. The study showed that the average size of microcapsules were $4.697{\mu}m$ in normal distribution. These microcapsules were induced red color by thermochromic fluoran red dye with showing color change as temperature. After the textile finishing of microcapsules, durability of microcapsules were checked as crocking times and lightfastness. The microcapsules were pressed at protrusion of textile weave in 10 crocking times which meant that the microcapsules not fallen off. Lightfastness was acceptable giving rating 4. It means that the polyurethane microcapsules not affect to light durability.

A study on reaction kinetics for a PTMG/TDI prepolymer with 2,2'-dichloro-4,4'-methylenedianiline (MOCA), of which formulations may be generally used for fabricating high performance polyurethane elastomers, was peformed using non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A number of thermograms were obtained at several constant heating rates, and analysed using Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) isoconversional method for activation energy, $E_a$ and extended-Avrami equation for reaction order, n. Urea formation reaction of the present system was observed to occur through the simple exothermic reaction process in the temperature range of $100{\sim}130^{\circ}C$ for the heating rate of $3{\sim}7^{\circ}C/min$. and could be well-fitted with generalized sigmoid function. Though activation energy was nearly constant as $53.0{\pm}0.5kJ/mol$, it tended to increase a little at initial stage, but it decreases at later stage by the transformation into diffusion-controlled reaction due to the increased viscosity. Reaction order was evaluated as about 2.8, which was somewhat higher than the generally well-known $2^{nd}$ order values for the various urea reactions. Both the reaction order and reaction rate explicitly increased with temperature, which was considered as the indication of occurring the side reactions such as allophanate or biuret formation.

$\alpha,\omega-Vinyl$ poly (dimethyl-methylphenyl) siloxane prepolymer (VPMPS ) was prepared by the equilibrium polymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane $(D_4)$, 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triphenylcyclotrisiloxane $(D_3^{Me,Ph)$, and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-divinyldisiloxane (MVS). And also, of $\alpha,\omega-hydrogen$ poly(dimethyl-methyl)siloxane prepolymer (HPDMS) as end blocker was prepared from octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane $(D_4)$, 1,3,5-trimethylcyclotrisiloxane $(D_3^:Me,H})$, and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (MS). Nickel ferrite nanoparticles having spinel magnetic material was prepared by the sol-gel method using PAA as a chelating agent. Poly(organosiloxane) rubber nanocomposite containing silica and nickel ferrite ultrafine powder modified with 1,3-divinyltetramethyldisilazane (VMS) was prepared by compounding VPMPS, HPDMS, and catalyst in high speed dissolver. The mechanical properties, heat dissipating away characteristics, and volume resistivities for POX-30 and POX-50 were measured.

Lipases from Candida rogosa and Rhizopus arrhizus were immobilized by entrapment with photo-crosslinkable resin prepolymer for the study of fat splitting and interesterification in isooctane-two phase system. Dioctylsulfosuccinate was selected as the most suitable surfactant during the immobilization. Lipase entrapped with hydrophobic photo-crosslinkable resin prepolymer(ENTP-3000) exhibited the highest activity, whereas lipase entrapped with hydrophilic gel(ENT-4000) was more stable in organic solvent. As the degree of hydrophobicity of the immobilization matrix was increased, Vm(app) of the lipase entrapped was increased, but Km(app) was approximately constant. While the optimum pH of the lipases entrapped on hydrophilic gel (ENT-4000) were around pH 7.0 for Candida lipase and Rhizopus lipase, the reaction rate of the lipases entrapped on hydrophobic gel were less dependent on pH variations for short reaction time. However, for longer reaction time, the lipnses from C. rugosa and R. arrhizus entrapped on hydrophobic gel yielded maximum rate at pH 6.0 and 6.5, respectively, Entrapment method endowed the lipase with thermal stability.

Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by the phase separation method using the liquid crystal (E7) and prepolymers. This work investigated the electro-optical characteristics of various PDLC films. In order to have good contrast ratio, the polymer refractive index must be adjusted to the ordinary refractive index of the liquid crystal. The driving voltage of PDLC films were mainly affected by elastic deformation. E7-Ebecryl810-IOA-TMPTA-HMPPO system had good threshold voltage and driving voltage and E7-Ebecryl810-EHA-PEGDA-HMPPO system had good contrast ratio.

Synthetic products such as casting tape and splints are rapidly replacing conventional plaster casts to treat orthopedic patients. Most synthetic products are produced through a polymerization process with related chemical agents. In this study, the effect of the process parameters on the residual NCO content within a prepolymer for casting tape and the hardening temperature for casting tape were experimentally evaluated. In order to verify the effects of the process parameters, an experimental method was adopted. From an S/N ratio analysis, optimal parameter combinations were determined to produce a pre-polymer with a suitable residual NCO content and alower hardening temperature. Prediction models for the NCO content and the hardening temperature were developed and confirmed.

Polyester type polyurethane foam modified with acrylic polyol was prepared by quasi prepolymer method. Thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of polyurethane foam were analysed by thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA). Also, glass transition temperature was measured by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC). As acrylic polyol contents were increased, thermal stability measured by TGA was slightly decreased. Storage modulus was increased and tan delta was decreased with increasing of acrylic polyol contents.

Kevlar was chemically surface modified with resorcinol-formaldehyde(RF) prepolymer and VP rubber latex for application to high strength tirecords. RF prepolymer was easily obtained by polymerization at room temperature in the presence of a base catalyst. The mechanical and thermal properties of Kevlar were not significantly changed during surface treated under various conditions. The change of adhesion with rubber were investigated through H-test method. Maximum increase of adhesion force between rubber and Kevlar was obtained up to 40% than that of untreated one when the fiber was soaked in RFL dipping solution and thermally treated at $170^{\circ}C$ for 3 - 5min.
