Sulfonated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-$SO_{3}$) grafted polyrotaxanes (PRx-PEG-$SO_{3}$) were prepared in order to utilize the unique properties of PEG-$SO_{3}$ and the supramolecular structure of PRx, in which PEG-$SO_{3}$ grafted $\alpha$-cyclodextrins ($\alpha$-CDs) were threaded onto PEG segments in a PEG-b-poly(propylene glycol) (PPG)-b-PEG triblock copolymer (Pluronic) chain capped with bulky end groups. Some of the PRx-PEG-$SO_{3}$ demonstrated a higher anticoagulant activity in case of PRx-PEG-$SO_{3}$ (P 105), and compared with the control they showed a lower fibrinogen adsorption in PRx-PEG-$SO_{3}$ (F68) and a higher binding affinity with fibroblast growth factor. The obtained results suggested that polyrotaxane incorporated with PEG-$SO_{3}$ may be applicable to the surface modification of clinically used polymers, especially for blood/cell compatible medical devices.

Micro-size CdS spheres of hollow shape were fabricated through the self-assembly of high density arrow-like nanorods. The synthesis of the CdS hollow spheres were accomplished in an aqueous solution of cadmium nitrate and triblock copolymer (Pluronic P123) at low temperature (80 ${^{\circ}C}$) through the slow release of S2- ions from thioacetamide. Morphology of the fabricated CdS hollow spheres was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicate that the arrow-like CdS nanorods are simultaneously grown and attached each other to form the building units that become the spheres with hollow inside as a self-assembled process. The CdS spheres have a diameter of $2{\sim}3 {\mu}m$ and consist of the nanorods with a length of$\sim$800 nm. The nanocrystal building blocks have a hexagonal CdS structure.

The cure kinetics of blends of epoxy(tetraglycidyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane ; TGDDM)/curing agent(diaminodiphenyl sulfone ; DDS) resin with amine terminated polyetherimide-CTBN-amine terminated polyetherimide triblock copolymer(ABA) were studied using differential scanning calorimetry under isothermal conditions to determine the reaction parameters such as activation energy and reaction constants. By increasing the amount of ABA in the blends, the final cure conversion was decreased. Lower values of the final cure conversions in the epoxy/ABA blends indicated that ABA hinders the cure reaction between the epoxy and curing agents. 1be value of the reaction order, m, for the initial autocatlytic reaction was not affected by blending ABA with epoxy resin, and the value was approximately 1.0. The value of n for the nth order component in the autocatalytic analysis was increased by increasing the amount of ABA in the blends, and the value increased from 2.0-3.4. A diffusion controlled reaction was observed as the cure conversion increased and the rate equation was successfully analyzed by incorporating the diffusion control term for the epoxy/DDS/ABA blends.

폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)-SEBS(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene triblock copolymer)/실리케이트 복합체를 PP의 조성을 35, 40 그리고 45wt%로 변화시키며 실험실 규모의 Brabender Mixer를 이용하여 $200^{\circ}C$에서 용융상태에서 제조하였다. 실리케이트 조성은 5wt%로 고정하였다. PP-SEBS/실리케이트 복합체의 열적특성을 DSC와 TGA를 이용하여 분석하였다. PP-SEBS 콤파운드의 용융온도는 SEBS 함량에 따라 $141^{\circ}C$까지 감소하였다. 실리케이트가 PP-SEBS에 첨가되었을 때 분해온도가 증가하는 것을 TGA 결과로부터 확인할 수 있었다. 콤파운드의 유변학적 특성을 동적유변측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. PP-SEBS/실리케이트 복합체는 PP-SEBS 콤파운드보다 shear thinning과 탄성특성이 증가하였다. 탄성특성 증가를 확인하기 위해 Van Gurp-Palmen 분석을 이용하였다.

본연구에서는poystyrene-block-poly (ethlene-co-butylene)-block-polystyrene(SEBS) 삼중블록 공중합체와 저분자량 단일중합체인 Hercotac 1149 (H1149)의 70/30 (w/w) 혼합물 의 미세상분리와 그동력학을 유변물성 측정법과 SAXS 실험을 통하여 연구해 보았다. 먼저 혼합물의 미세상분리 온도를 유변물성 측정법과 SAXS 실험을 통해 각각구한 다음 샘플을 미세상분리 온도보다 높은 온도에서 그이하의 온도로 급냉시킨 후 유변물성과 산란강도의 사간에 따른 변화로부터 미세상분리 동력학에 대한 정보를 구하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 데이터 를 Avrami 형태의 핵생성 성장(NG) 메커니즘으로 해석해 보았는데 최대산란강도 Imax 뿐만 아니라 저장 점탄성계수 G＇과 손실 점탄성계수 G＂의 시간에 따른 변화를 잘 예측할수 있 었다. 한편 서로다른 두 time-resolved 실험으로부터 Avrami 플롯을 그려서 구해진 Avrami 변수들은 같은 급냉 깊이에서는 서로 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 반감기는 급냉 깊이가 증가 함에 따라 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 이는 급냉 깊이가 클수록 미세상분리가 더 빨리 진행되고 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 또한 Avrami 지수는 급냉 깊이가 증가함에 따라 3에서 4로 급격히 변했는데 이로부터 급냉 깊이가 작을 때에는 70/30 (w/w) SEBS/H1149 혼합물 의 미세상분리가 불균일 핵생성 성장 메커니즘에 따라 진행되고 급냉 깊이가 더 커지면 미 세상분리가 스피노달 상분리 메커니즘으로 변하고 있음을 예측할수 있었다.

본 논문은 ferric p-toluenesulfonate를 산화제에 약 염기인 이미다졸과 poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(propylene glycol)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-PPG-PEG) 계면활성제를 동시 첨가하여 기상중합법으로 제조된 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) 박막의 광-전기적 특성 향상에 대한 것이다. 여러 가지 조건에서 제조된 PEDOT 박막 특성과 산화제의 첨가제로 사용된 약 염기와 계면활성제의 조합 효과의 상관관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이미다졸과 PEG-PPG-PEG로 구성된 첨가제를 사용하여 제조된 PEDOT 박막은 $1300S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ 이상의 전도성을 가졌다.

Background: Development of a nanosized polymeric delivery system for erlotinib was the main objective of this research. Materials and Methods: Poly caprolactone-polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (PCEC) copolymers with different compositions were synthesized via ring opening polymerization. Formation of triblock copolymers was confirmed by HNMR as well as FT-IR. Erlotinib loaded nanoparticles were prepared by means of synthesized copolymers with solvent displacement method. Results: Physicochemical properties of obtained polymeric nanoparticles were dependent on composition of used copolymers. Size of particles was decreased with decreasing the PCL/PEG molar ratio in used copolymers. Encapsulation efficiency of prepared formulations was declined by decreasing their particle size. Drug release behavior from the prepared nanoparticles exhibited a sustained pattern without a burst release. From the release profiles, it can be found that erlotinib release rate from polymeric nanoparticles is decreased by increase of CL/PEG molar ratio of prepared block copolymers. Based on MTT assay results, cell growth inhibition of erlotinib has a dose and time dependent pattern. After 72 hours of exposure, the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of erlotinib hydrochloride was appeared to be $14.8{\mu}M$. Conclusions: From the obtained results, it can be concluded that the prepared PCEC nanoparticles in this study might have the potential to be considered as delivery system for erlotinib.

본 연구에서는 생체분해성 폴리에스터 계열의 glycolide, L-lactide 및 ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone 단량체를 이용하여 2단계 중합법에 의한 삼원 공중합체를 제조하여, DSC를 이용한 비등온 결정화 거동을 고찰하였다. 보다 더 정확한 거동을 검토하기 위하여 Avrami 식과 Ozawa 식을 조합하여 비등온 결정화 거동을 고찰하였다. 과냉각도를 분석한 결과 PGCLA21의 값이 가장 큰 값을 보이고 있으며 L-lactide 함량이 증가함에 따라 과냉각도는 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 수정된 Avrami 식을 이용하여 다양한 냉각속도에서 비등온 결정화 거동 결정화 속도 상수는 큰 경향을 보이고 있지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. Avrami 및 Ozawa 식을 조합하여 특정한 상대적 결정화도에서의 냉각함수를 구한결과 L-lactide 함량이 증가하면서 PGCL과 비교시 결정화 속도를 향상시키는 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 여겨지는 반면 PGCLA41과 PGCLA21을 비교시 L-lactide 함량이 일정 이상 증가시 logF(T) 값이 큰 것을 확인 할 수 있는데 이는 동일한 결정을 얻는데 더 많은 냉각 속도를 필요로 한다는 것을 의미하며 결정화 속도 향상에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Gene therapy holds great promise for treating various forms of diseases with a genetic origin including cystic fibrosis, different forms of cancer, and cardiovascular disorders. The clinical use of gene therapy treatments is however restricted, mainly because of the absence of safe and efficient gene delivery technologies. In our group, with an aim of developing efficient and nontoxic polymeric gene delivery systems, several novel types of polymeric gene carriers have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Herein, I will mainly present our recent work on low molecular weight linear PEI-PEG-PEI triblock copolymers, degradable hyperbranched poly(ester amine)s, and reduction-sensitive poly(amido amine)s.

Fischer Tropsch reaction is one of the interesting topic for renewable and clean energy. Polymerization of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide with hydrogen over metal supported catalyst can produce long chain hydrocarbons. Synthetic liquid hydrocarbons are promising alternative to fossil fuels. This research work has been focused on the synthesis of Fe based catalyst for Fischer Tropsch reaction. Mesoporous silica (MS) support prepared by a precipitation method using two different washing solution, distilled water (DW) and acid in ethanol solution (ET), and different calcination temperature. Then, Fe/MS was prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation method. All of samples were systematically characterized using various physical and chemical techniques. TEM and XRD analysis were used to ensure that the cubic Ia3d mesostructure is stable after calcination. FTIR spectra are useful to ascertain the existence of template in the support. TPR studies were also used to understand the nature of Fe species and their reducibility. The results reveal that washing the support with distilled water and calcination at $550^{\circ}C$ can efficiently remove the triblock copolymer templates. The existence of template in the support affects the textural properties of all catalyst investigated.
