A new class of soluble PPV derivatives containing dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl unit as a pendant was synthesized by Gilch polymerization method. The resulting electroluminescent (EL) polymers showed good solubility, good film-forming ability onto the ITO substrate, and exhibited an amorphous morphology due to dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl branched group linked to the polymer backbone. The weight average molecular weights and polydispersities of the present EL polymers were in the range of 8.0-80.0 x $10^{4}$ and 2.67-7.80, respectively. The resulting EL polymers revealed a high thermal stability of up to $355-410^{\circ}C$. Their glass transition temperatures were in the range of $104-251^{\circ}C$. The emission colors could be tuned from green to orange-red colors by changing the MEH-PPV contents in copolymer systems. The turn-on voltages of the EL polymers were in the range of 1.8-4.0 V.

Chitin was isolated from crab shell wastes and characterized for its chemical and physical properties. White powdered chitin was obtained through demineralizaticn, deproteinization and decoloration process. The contents of inorganics was less than 0.5%, whereas protein and lipid were almost removed. The results of IR spectroscopic analysis for the isolated chitin showed similar characteristics with that of Sigma product. Degree of deacetylation of purified chitin was significantly higher than Sigma product and viscosity average molecular weights was $2.3{\times}10^5~3.2{\times}10^5$. SEM analysis showed that the obtained chitin had the fibril shaped morphology.

$Bu_3Sn$-endded poly(vinyl)s with biological activity were obtained by the radical polymerization of vinyl monomers using thianthrene cation radical/$^nBu_3H$. Thianthrene cation and stannyl radicals promoted the homopolymerization and copolymerization of styrene and ethyl vinyl ether having number average molecular weights of 2000-3100. Tributyltin hydride functions as a chain transfer agent. Such polymereization by cationic thianthrene and stannyl radicals could provide some clues for the biological reaction in living animals. Plausible polymerization mechanisms were suggested.

Chitosans were obtained with varying deacetylation times using the ${\beta}$-chitin isolated from Todarodes pacificus, and their deacetylation degrees and average molecular weights were determined. Films prepared with the squid chitosans were characterized by estimating their tensile strengths, percent elongations, water vapor permeabilities, degree of swelling, and temperatures of glass transition and thermal decomposition. The results suggest that the squid chitosan films were comparable to common crustacean chitosan films in regard of mechanical, moisture barrier, and thermal properties, although further, multilateral investigations are necessary to make a more definitive conclusion.

(p-Methylbenzyl)-o-cyanopyridinium hexafluoroantimonate, a new catalyst, was synthesized by the reaction of o-cyanopyridine with α-bromo-p-xylene followed by exchange of counteranion with SbF6θ. We examined the effect of the catalyst on the bulk polymerization of tetrahydrofuran under various conditions. The catalytic activity was best in the presence of 1 : 1 of epichlorohydrin used as cocatalyst versus catalyst concentration. The resulting polymers had relatively low conversions in 1.0-40%. Their number average molecular weights were in the range of 800 to 5300. Propagation rate increased with increase in temperature according to an Arrhenius expression giving an activation energy of 62 KJ/mol. We also found catalyst proceeds via a cationic mechanism.

The effects of phenol during ethylene carbonate (EC) liquefaction of pine bark in the presence of methanesulfonic acid (MSA) as a catalyst were investigated. Liquefaction of pine bark using EC in the presence of acid catalyst was very difficult in comparison to wood. Mixing ethylene glycol (EG) with EC improved the liquefaction process, but the maximum liquefaction yield did not exceed 78%. Mixing 20~30% phenol with EC was very effective for the liquefaction and the residue was remarkably decreased. More than 95% of liquefaction was achieved when about 30% phenol was mixed with EC. The reaction conditions, such as catalyst concentration, liquefaction temperature and time, type of catalyst and liquefying agent, had a great influence on the liquefaction process. The results of the average molecular weights and the amount of combined phenols for the liquefied products indicated that sulfuric acid (SA) causes high condensation reactions compared to MSA.

To examine the possibility of protein recycling of shaving scraps containing chromium generated from manufacturing process of leather, the optimum hydrolysis conditions and the withdrawal methods of low molecular weight protein for using the liquid fertilizer sources by investigation of solubilities of hydrolyzed protein, inorganic nutrients contents and molecular weight distributions of hydrolyzed protein from shaving scraps treated with mixed alkaline inducing agents and mixed alkaline proteolytic enzymes including MgO were investigated. In hydrolysis of shaving scraps treated with mixed alkaline inducing agents, the solubility of shaving scraps were clearly different with 65~85% according to the sorts of the inducing agents, and the degree of hydrolysis was high in the order of NaOH, $Ca(OH)_2$ and KOH. The average molecular weights of withdrawal hydrolyzed protein were 10, 40 and 80 KD treated with NaOH, $Ca(OH)_2$ and KOH, respectively. And the chromium contents was about 15 ppm. In hydrolysis of shaving scraps treated with mixed alkaline proteolytic enzymes, the bility of shaving scraps were high in the order of alcalase, esperase and savinase. In c of treating 0.5% alcalase, the low molecular weight of hydrolyzed protein could be withdrawn. The solubility of the hydrolyzed protein was about 85%, the average molecular weight of the protein was below 1 KD and chrome content of the protein was below 10 ppm.

The novel linear- (V-LUM) and cross-type macromonomers (C-VUM) of vinyl-terminated bifunctional polyurethane were synthesized and applied to the dispersion polymerization of styrene and MMA in ethanol. The existence of the vinyl terminal groups and the grafted macromonomer with styrene and PMMA was verified using 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Monodisperse polystyrene (PS) microspheres were successfully obtained above 15 wt % of macromonomer relative to styrene. The macromonomer can efficiently stabilize higher surface area of the particles compared to a conventional stabilizer, PVP. The grafting ratio of the PS calculated from 1H NMR linearly increased up to 0.048 with 20 wt % of the macromonomer and the high molecular weights (501,300 g/mol) of PS with increased glass transition and enhanced thermal stability were obtained. Furthermore, the stable and monodisperse PMMA microspheres having a weight-average diameter of $5.09{\mu}m$ and a good uniformity of 1.01 were obtained with 20 wt% L-VUM. The molecular weight increased, but the size of the PMMA particles decreased with the macromonomer concentration due to the increased stabilizing effect. The molecular weight of the PMMA was approximately two fold higher than that by a conventional PVP. The L-VUM acts as a reactive stabilizer, which gives polyurethane-grafted PS or PMMA with a high molecular weight. In addition, the XPS result showed that the C-PS (PS using the C-VUM) was anchored with a larger amount of PEG than that of the L-PS (PS using the L-VUM) on the particle surface. Thus, the reaction and stabilizing mechanism of the macromonomers for the formation of PS particles is proposed.
