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.

A novel amphiphilic, symmetric rod-coil, triblock copolymer (denoted as PHEMA-b-PF-b-PHEMA) of poly(9,9-didodecylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PF) and poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) was synthesized. A $\pi$-conjugated poly(9,9-didodecylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PF) was used as a rodlike midblock segment and connected with hydrophilic end blocks of poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) by using an ATRP technique. The chemical structure of PHEMA-b-PF-b-PHEMA was confirmed by $^{1}H$-NMR and GPC, and its PL properties were investigated in selected solvents. Due to the dissimilarities in molecular conformation and solubility between PHEMA and PF blocks, both block segments were segregated to display a phase-separated morphology on a Si wafer.

The morphology of the $D_2O$-induced reverse micellar structure of an amphiphilic block copolymer of poly( ethylene oxide )-b-poly(propylene oxide )-b-poly( ethylene oxide )($EO_{76}PO_{29}EO_{76}$) was investigated in hydrophobic media by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Increasing $D_2O$ in the styrene/divinylbenzene solution of $EO_{76}PO_{29}EO_{76}$ led to a change in morphology of the reverse micelles from a short range ordered molecular aggregate to a hexagonally arranged micelle, and further to a spherical micelle.

The characterization method for associating polymer solutions was briefly reviewed. The method has not yet established in comparison with the characterization method for molecularly dispersed polymers in solution. However, two examples of associating polymer systems, living polybutadiene anions and amphiphilic statistical copolymers, were successfully characterized on the basis of suitable model and theory.

생체적합성을 가진 키토산과 강력한 항산화제로 알려진 리포산을 합성하여 만든 양친매성 고분자를 이용하여 약물전달시스템으로서의 응용 가능성을 알아보았다. 수용액 상에서 자기조립의 성질을 가지는 양친매성 고분자는 나노입자를 형성하고 이 입자 안에 항암제로 널리 쓰이는 5-fluorouracil을 고체분산법을 이용하여 봉입하였다. 최적의 약물전달체를 얻기 위하여 키토산에 결합된 리포산의 비율을 조절하여 입자크기 및 약물봉입률을 비교하였다. DLS를 이용하여 측정한 나노입자는 약 250 nm 정도의 크기를 가졌고 그 봉입률은 10% 내외로 측정되었다. 42%의 리포산 치환율을 가지는 공중합체가 약물전달체로서 가장 우수한 성능을 보여주었다.

Novel amphiphilic, thermo-responsive polyaspartamides which showed both LCST (lower critical solution temperature), and sol-gel transition were prepared and characterized. The polyaspartamide derivatives were synthesized from polysuccinimide, the polycondensate of aspartic acid monomer, via successive nucleophilic ring-opening reaction by using dodecylamine and N-isopropylethylenediamine (NIPEDA). At the intermediate composition ranges, the dilute aqueous solution exhibited a thermally responsive phase separation due to the presence of LCST. The phase transition temperature was controllable by changing the content of pendent groups. In addition, a physical gelation, i.e. the sol-gel transition was observed from the concentrated solutions, which was elucidated by dynamic viscoelastic measurements. These novel injectable and thermo-responsive hydrogels have potential for various biomedical applications such as tissue engineering and current drug delivery system.

지반오염에 대한 사례가 점점 증가하고 이에 따른 대책공법에 대한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소수성 오염원으로 오염된 토양의 정화를 위해 친환경 양친성 블록공중합체의 개발 및 적용에 관하여 평가하였다. 오염원으로는 디이젤을 사용하였으며, 임의로 오염시킨 흙에 네 종류의 양친성 블록공중합체를 개발 및 적용하여 정화능력을 실내실험을 통하여 평가하였다. 오염된 토양을 기존 계면활성제를 사용하여 정화하고 개발된 양친성 블록공중합체의 정화능력과 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과 개발된 고분자 재료의 종류에 따라 다양한 정화능력을 보였으며, 기존 계면활성제와 비슷한 정화도를 나타내 이를 활용한 새로운 친환경적 정화재제 개발의 기초를 확립하였다.

Block copolymer micelles are generally formed via the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers in an aqueous medium. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks form shell and core micelles, respectively. The block copolymers of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG)-b-poly(2-diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PDPA) were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization, with the macro initiator synthesized by the coupling of 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide with MPEG in the presence of a triethyl amine base catalyst. The atom transfer radical polymerization of 2-diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate was performed in conjunction with an N,N,N',N",N"-pentamethyl-diethylenetriamine/copper bromide catalyst system, in DMF, at $70^{\circ}C$. The pH induced micellization/demicellization was studied using fluorescence, with a pyrene probe. Furthermore, the pH dependent micellization was confirmed using the microviscosity method, with a dipyme fluorescence probe. The pH dependant micelle size distribution was studied using dynamic light scattering. The characterization of the synthesized polymers was established using gel permeation chromatography and from the $^1H-nuclear$ magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
