Amphiphilic random copolymers can form various types of micelles in aqueous media depending on the balance between two opposite interactions- electrostatic repulsion and hydrophobic attraction. This balance can change by addition of some organic solvent to the aqueous solution, and as a result, we can control the micellar structure and micellization equilibrium by changing the solvent content. In the present study, we have investigated the micellization equilibrium of an amphiphilic statistical copolymer consisting of sodium 2-(acrylamido)-2- methylpropanesulfonate and hexyl methacrylate in mixtures of water and methanol by sedimentation equilibrium and fluorescence.

The molecular interactions of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and cellulose acetate (CA) were investigated thoroughly via dilute solution viscometry in dimethylformamide (DMF) as a common solvent at $30^{\circ}C$. The intrinsic viscosities and viscometric interaction parameters were experimentally determined for both binary (polymer/dimethylformamide) and ternary (PAN/CA/dimethylformamide) systems. As all investigated PAN/CA ternaries evidenced negative viscometric interaction parameter values $({\Delta}b\;&{\Delta}k<0)$, the existence of repulsive intermolecular interactions was deduced, and PAN/CA blends were assigned as immiscible. Moreover, the results of microscopy photograph analysis indicated that pure PAN film evidences a homophasic structure, and the size of the phase domain increases gradually with increases in CA. In DSC analysis, it was determined that the glass transition temperature of the blend film increased slightly with increases in the CA content of the blend film.

We established a thermodynamic framework of group contribution method based on modified double lattice (MDL) model. The proposed model included the long-range interaction contribution caused by the Coulomb electrostatic forces, the middle-range interaction contribution from the indirect effects of the charge interactions and the short-range interaction from modified double lattice model. The group contribution method explained the combinatorial energy contribution responsible for the revised Flory-Huggins entropy of mixing, the van der Waals energy contribution from dispersion, the polar force, and the specific energy contribution from hydrogen bonding. We showed the solvent activities of various polymer solution systems in comparison with theoretical predictions based on experimental data. The proposed model gave a very good agreement with the experimental data.

본 연구에서는 poly(N-vinyl carbazole) (PVK), poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP), PVK-b-PVP 블록 공중합체를 RAFT 중합법으로 합성하였으며, 이를 이용하여 ethanol, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dichloromethane (DCM), tetrahydrofuran (THF)와 같은 비 수계 용매에서 그래핀 분산액을 제조하였다. 합성된 고분자의 화학적 구조는 양성자 및 탄소 핵자기 공명 분광기($^1H-$, $^{13}C-NMR$), 크기 배제 크로마토그래피 (size exclusive chromatography, SEC), 시차 주사 열량계 (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC)를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 그래핀 분산액의 분산 안정성은 Turbiscan을 이용하여 시간에 따른 터비스캔 안정성 지수(Turbiscan stability index, TSI)를 측정, 정량적으로 평가하였다. 용매, 고분자, 그래핀의 표면장력(${\sigma}$), 용해도 상수(${\delta}$)를 이용하여 물질간의 상호작용에 대하여 설명하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 용매와 그래핀간의 용해도와 표면장력의 차이가 분산안정성에 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 그래핀의 분산 안정성이 좋지 못한 ethanol 및 THF 용매 하에서 PVK-b-PVP를 사용하여 그래핀을 분산시킬 경우 낮은 TSI값을 효과적으로 유지할 수 있었으며, 그래핀을 잘 분산시킨다고 알려진 NMP에 비하여 DCM이 더 좋은 그래핀 분산안정성을 보임을 확인하였다.

The increasing use of plastics in food packaging materials has led to the issue of food-packaging mutual interactions from residues in the plastics. Plastic films are commonly printed by using solvent-based ink to decorate the packaged food for consumer attention. However, the residual solvents can not be completely removed and they can migrate into the contained food which lead to undesirable off-flavors. Partitioning (Kp) of printing ink solvents was studied in two types of plastic films with different chemical structure and polarity. At $25^{\circ}C$, Kp of toluene is higher than that of isopropanol in PP, but isopropanol showed higher Kp value than toluene in EVOH. This showed that polarity had a significant effect on the partitioning of printing ink solvents into the plastic films. Printing solvents had a higher affinity to the polymer with similar polarity than it did to the different one.

It is well known that the membrane permeation in pervaporation is governed by both the chemical nature of the membrane material and the physical structure of the membrane and also the separation can be achieved by differences in either solubility, size or shape. The solubility of the penerrant in the polymeric membrane can be described qualitively by applying the Hildebrand relation [1] which relates the energy of mixing of the penerrant and the polymer material. Froehling et al. have tried to predict the swelling behavior of polymers for the systems of polyvinylchloride(PVC)-toluene-methanol, PVC-trichloroethylene-nitromethane and PVC-n-butylacetate-nitromethane[2]. The former two systems which do not show the donor/acceptor interactions upon mixing showed the successful results[2]. In addition to this technique, there are several other possible approaches to predict the swelling behaviors of polymers, such as the surface thermodynamic approach[3, 4], the comparison of the membrane polarity with the solvent polarity in terms of Dimroth's solvent polarity value[5].

Initial burst is one of the major challenges in protein-encapsulated microparticle systems. Since protein release during the initial stage depends mostly on the diffusional escape of the protein, major approaches to prevent the initial burst have focused on efficient encapsulation of the protein within the microparticles. For this reason, control of encapsulation efficiency and the extent of initial burst are based on common formulation parameters. The present article provides a literature review of the formulation parameters that are known to influence the two properties in the emulsion-solvent evaporation/extraction method. Physical and chemical properties of encapsulating polymers, solvent systems, polymer-drug interactions, and properties of the continuous phase are some of the influential variables. Most parameters affect encapsulation efficiency and initial burst by modifying solidification rate of the dispersed phase. In order to prevent many unfavorable events such as pore formation, drug loss, and drug migration that occur while the dispersed phase is in the semi-solid state, it is important to understand and optimize these variables.

Zirconia nanoparticles were widely used as filler in order to get high refractive index layer. However, dispersion of nanoparticles is difficult due to their agglomeration in solvent. In this study, the dispersibility of the zirconia suspension is promoted by controlling the steric hindrance and electrostatic interactions through the adsorption of PEI according to alkali treatment time. Also, to induce improved dispersibility on suspension, we changed the dispersion conditions variously and fabricated an ink formulation method for the coating layer. Zirconia suspension was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), Zeta potential measurement, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and FT-IR. We were able to confirm that good dispersion of zirconia suspension by alkali treatment and PEI led to high refractive index.

We investigated a new method for patterning organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) using a photopatternable conducting polymer nanocomposite, consisting of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that had been modified with a photoreactive cinnamate group, to form P3HT-AuNP-CI. We found that the addition of the cinnamate group to the nanoparticle surface assisted the preparation of a solvent-resistive semiconducting film and preserved the P3HT ordering, which was interrupted by Au-P3HT interactions, as well as provided UV-controllable electrical properties. The P3HT-AuNPs-CI films could be microscale-patterned via a UV crosslinking photoreaction, represented as a promising photopatternable semiconductor material for use in advanced applications, with tunable electrical properties for fabrication of sub-micron and microscale electronic devices.

Iron(III)p-toluenesulfonate를 개시제로 한 3,4-ethylenedioxyaiophene(EDOT)의 중합과정시 여러 가지 유기용매를 첨가했을 때 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT)의 전하이동특성이 어떻게 변하는지에 대해 연구하였다. 첨가한 유기용매의 종류는 MeOH, EtOH등의 알콜류와 Acetone, MEK등의 케톤류였으며, 직류 전기전도도 측정시 280 K에서 전도도는 MeOH를 첨가한 시료가 19.5 S/cm로 가장 높았으며, MEK를 첨가한 시료는 $2.2{\times}10^{-9}$S/cm로 각기 다른 전도도를 나타내었다. 유기용매 첨가에 따른 전기전도도의 변화를 설명하기 위해 X-ray diffraction(XRD)를 통한 PEDOT의 구조적 변화를 관찰하였으며, 알콜류를 첨가했을 경우 결정화도가 증가하는 반면, 케톤류의 유기용매를 첨가했을 경우에는 무정형 구조를 가지는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 X-ray photoelectron spectoscopyocpy(XPS)를 이용하여 S(2p) 피크를 분석한 결과 케톤류를 첨가한 시료의 경우 다른 시료에 비해 도핑레벨이 매우 낮음을 관찰하였다. 이는 유기용매와 PEDOT의 상대이온인 p-toluenesulfonate와의 상호작용으로 인한 것으로 중합시 유기용매의 첨가에 따라 PEDOT의 도핑효율 및 구조가 변화하고 결과적으로 전기전도도가 변화하는 것을 확인하였다.
