New quadruply-bridged calix[6]arenes (I-V) have been studied as cesium selective ionophores in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes. PVC membranes were prepared with dioctyl sebacate (DOS) or 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as the sol vent mediator and potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate as the lipophilic salt additive. These ionophores produced electrodes with near-Nernstian slope. The selectivity coefficients for cesium ion with respect to alkali, alkaline earth and ammonium ions have been determined. The lowest detection limit (logaCs+ = -6.3) and the higher selectivity coefficient (logkpotCs+,Rb+ = -2.1 by SSM, -2.3 by FIM for calix[6]arene I) for Cs+ have been obtained for membranes containing quadruply-bridged calix[6]arenes (I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ), which have no para t-butyl substituents on the bridging benzene ring.

Vinyl ether monomers 4, 6, and 8 polymerized readily with radical initiators to yield crosslinked polymers 10, 12, and 14. However, compounds 5, 7, and 9 were inert to radical initiators due to the steric hindrance. The resulting polymers 10, 12, and 14 were not soluble in common solvents showing a thermal stability up to $300^{\circ}C$.

2,4-Di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile (la), methyl 2,4-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate (lb), 3,4-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidene malononitrile (2a), methyl 3,4-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate (2b), 2,5-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile (3a), methyl 2,5-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate (3b), 2,3-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile (4a), and methyl 2,3-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate (4b) were prepared by the condensation of 2,4-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde, 3,4-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde, 2,5-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy) benzaldehyde, and 2,3-di-(2'-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde with malononitrile or methyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Trifunctional divinyl ether monomers 1-4 were polymerized readily with boron trifluoride etherate as a cationic initiator to give optically transparent swelling poly(vinyl ethers) 5-8 havina oxybenzylidenemalononitrile and oxycyanocinnamate, which is presumably effective chromophore for second-order nonlinear optical applications. Polymers 5-8 were not soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and DMSO due to crosslinking. Polymers 5-8 showed a thermal stability up to 300 ℃ in TGA thermograms, which is acceptable for electrooptic device applications.

The stereoselectivity of the reaction between methyl vinyl ketone dimer, which contains two possible sites of chelation, and zinc borohydride or diisobutylaluminum hydride has been studied in order to illuminate the factors involved in the high levels of asymmetric induction obtained in the bicyclic system. The conditions for the formation of the exo-5,7-dimethyl-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane are DIBAH reduction of MVK dimer in ether at reflux followed by acidic cyclizatioan, and for the endo isomer are $Zn(BH_4)_2$ reduction with $ZnCl_2$ at $0^{\circ}C.$.

3',5'-Dimethoxy-4'-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)-4-nitrostilbene 2 and 3',5'-dimethoxy-4'-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)-2,4-dinitrostilbene 5 were prepared by the reactions of 2-iodoethyl vinyl ether with 3',5'-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxy-4-dinitrostilbene 1 and 3',5'-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxy-2,4-dinitrostilbene 4, respectively. Monomers 2 and 5 were polymerized with cationic initiators to obtain polymers with 3',5'-dimethoxy-4'-oxy-4-nitrostilbene and 3',5'-dimethoxy-4'-oxy-2,4-nitrostilbene, which are presumably effective chromophores for second-order nonlinear optical application in the side chain. The resulting polymers 3 and 6 were soluble in DMSO and DMF. The inherent viscosities of the polymers were in the range of 0.28-0.33 dL/g in DMSO. Polymers 3 and 6 showed a thermal stability up to 250 ℃ in TGA thermogram, and the Tg values obtained from DSC thermograms were in the range of 81-87°.

The resulting polymers 7-9 were soluble in common organic solvents and the inherent viscosities of polymers were in the range of 0.20-0.30 dL/g in acetone. Solution-cast films were clear and brittle, showing Tg values in the range of 40-70 ℃.

Repeated oral administration of loxoprofen can induce many side effects such as gastric disturbances and acidosis. Therefore, we considered alternative routes of administration for loxoprofen to avoid such adverse effects. The aim of this study was to develop an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) matrix system containing a permeation enhancer for enhanced transdermal delivery of loxoprofen. The EVA matrix containing loxoprofen was fabricated and the effects of drug concentration, temperature, enhancer and plasticizer on drug release were studied from the loxoprofen-EVA matrix. The solubility of loxoprofen was highest at 40% (v/v) PEG 400. The release rate of drug from drug-EVA matrix increased with increased loading dose and temperature. The release rate was proportional to the square root of loading dose. The activation energy (Ea), which was measured from the slope of log P versus 1000/T, was 5.67 kcal/mol for a 2.0% loaded drug dose from the EVA matrix. Among the plasticizer used, diethyl phthalate showed the highest release rate of loxoprofen. Among the enhancers used, polyoxyethylene 2-oleyl ether showed the greatest enhancing effect. In conclusion, for the enhanced controlled transdermal delivery of loxoprofen, the application of the EVA matrix containing plasticizer and penetration enhancer could be useful in the development of a controlled drug delivery system.

In order to develop a novel polymer electrolyte membrane for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), styrene monomer was graft-polymerized into poly(tetrafluoroethylene perfluoropropyl vinyl ether) (PFA) film followed by a sulfonation reaction. The graft polymerization was prepared by the $\Upsilon$-ray radiation-grafting method. Subsequently, sulfonation of the radiation-grafted film was carried out in a chlorosulfonic acid/1,2-dichloroethane (2 v/v%) solution. The chemical, physical, electrochemical and morphological properties of the radiation-grafted membranes (PFA-g-PSSA) were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The water uptake, ionic conductivity, and methanol permeability of the PFA-g-PSSA membrane were also measured. The cell performances of MEA prepared with the PFA-g-PSSA membranes were evaluated and the cell resistances were measured by an impedance analyzer. The MEA using PFA-g-PSSA membranes showed superior performance for DMFCs in comparison with the commercial Nafion 112 membrane.

Radiation technology is an effective way for regulating polymeric materials to physicochemical and mechanical properties. New polymeric hydrogels based on vinyl ethers have been synthesized by the $\gamma$-initiated polymerization method. In this paper, we have studied the effect of radiation on mechanical and electrochemical properties of new rubber-like polymeric composite materials based on polyvinylether of ethyleneglycol (PVEEG).
