Silicon (Si) has attracted considerable attention due to its high theoretical capacity compared to conventional graphite anode materials. However, Si-based anode materials suffer from rapid capacity loss due to mechanical failure caused by large volume change during cycling. To alleviate this phenomenon, crosslinked polymeric binders with strong interactions are highly desirable to ensure the electrode integrity. In this study, thermally crosslinked polyimide binders were used for Si-alloy anodes in Li-ion batteries. The crosslinked polyimide binder was found to have high adhesion strength, resulting in enhanced electrode integrity during cycling. Therefore, the Si-alloy anodes with crosslinked polyimide binder provide enhanced electrochemical performance, such as Coulombic efficiency, capacity retention, and cycle stability.

In order to obtain crosslinked poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) foams with a closed-cell structure, a commercial-grade PBS was first modified in the melt using two different branching agents to increase the melt viscosity. The rheological properties of the branched and crosslinked PBS were examined by varying the amount of the branching agents. The complex viscosity of the crosslinked PBS increased with increasing amount of the branching agent. However, it decreased with increasing frequency. When 2 phr of the branching agent was added to PBS, the storage modulus (G') was higher than the loss modulus (G") throughout the entire frequency range, showing that the addition of a branching agent increases the melt viscosity and elasticity of PBS effectively. Closed-cell PBS foams were prepared by mixing the chemical blowing agent with the crosslinked PBS. The effect of the foaming conditions such as temperature and time, and the amount of the crosslinking agent on the structure of the expanded PBS foams were also investigated.

The photoisomerization of the crosslinked and uncrosslinked polymer-pair with azo linkages was studied by the photoinduced birefringence. The amount of photoinduced birefringence of crosslinked polymer system was much smaller than that of uncrosslinked polymer system, even when varying pumping laser power, so the photoisomerization of an azo chromophores could be controlled by crosslinking process.

응고 침전법으로 제조한 폴리스티렌(PS)/탄소나노튜브(CNT) 나노복합재료의 유변물성 및 전기적 물성을 고찰하였다. CNT의 분산성 향상을 위해 도입하는 일반적인 방법인 화학적 개질이나 계면활성제 도포 방법은 CNT의 고유 물성을 저하시킬 수 있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 본 연구에서는 PS와 CNT를 dimethylformamide에 분산시킨 후 증류수에 응고 침전시키는 방법으로 나노복합재료를 제조하였다. 응고 침전법에 의한 CNT의 분산은 매우 효과적이어서 제조한 나노복합재료는 우수한 전기 전도도를 나타내었다. 또한 PS 매트릭스에 poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) 가교 입자를 첨가하여 가교 입자 첨가가 유변물성과 전기적 물성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 가교 입자를 첨가한 나노복합재료의 경우 CNT의 전기적 임계점이 0.25 wt%로 감소되었고 전기 전도도는 더욱 증가하였다. 이는 가교입자가 차지하는 부피 내의 CNT가 전기적 통로를 형성하는데 추가적으로 기여했기 때문으로 판단된다.

재활용 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)에 Perbutyl peroxide(PBP)를 첨가하여 반응 용융가공에 의한 가교 특성 및 물성 변화를 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 재활용 HDPE에 포함되어 있는 다양한 이물질의 성분을 EDS를 이용하여 분석하였으며 수지의 재활용 시 포함된 유, 무기물이 가교 반응에 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 또한 물성 측정을 통해 재활용 가교 HDPE가 신재 HDPE와 비교하여 낮은 밀도, 용융엔탈피 그리고 높은 용융점도를 가짐으로 보아 상대적으로 신재 가교 HDPE에 비하여 가교가 더 잘 일어남을 알 수 있으며 이러한 재활용 HDPE의 가교 특성은 가교에 의한 재환용 HDPE의 기계적 물성 증가에 기여함을 확인하였다.

To explore the potential of shell crosslinked micelle (SCM) as a drug carrier, the drug release behavior of poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PCL-b-PAA) SCMs was investigated. PCL-b-PAA was synthesized by ring opening polymerization of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone and atom transfer radical polymerization of tert-butyl acrylate, followed by selective hydrolysis of tert-butyl ester groups to acrylic acid groups. The resulting amphiphilic polymer was used to prepare SCMs by crosslinking of PAA corona via amidation chemistry. The drug release behavior of the SCMs was studied, using pyrene as a model drug, and was compared with that of non-crosslinked micelles, especially below the critical micelle concentration (CMC). When the shell layers were crosslinked, the drug release behavior of the SCMs was successfully modulated at a controlled rate compared with that of the non-crosslinked micelles, which showed a burst release of drug within a short time.

The ion-exchange membrane, Nafion, remains as the benchmark for a majority of research and development in IPMC technology. In this research, we employed a novel ionomer named by sulfonated poly(styrene-ran-ethylene) (SPSE) that is crosslinked by UV irradiation. The sulfonic acid groups were stable during the UV irradiation crosslinking process. Water uptake, ion exchange capacity, and proton conductivity are characterized for both pure SPSE and crosslinked SPSE membrane. The bending responses of SPSE actuators under both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) excitations were investigated. The voltage-current behaviors of the actuators under AC excitations are also measured. Results showed the crosslinked SPSE actuators have better electromechanical performance than that of pure SPSE actuator with regard to tip displacement as a novel smart material.

Two poly(4-vinylpyridines) having different degree of crosslinking were prepared by radical copolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine with N, N'-tetramethylenebis-acrylamide as a crosslinker. The abilities of these crosslinked polymers to bind acid dyes (methyl orange, ethyl orange, and propyl orange) were investigated at various temperatures in ethylene glycol as the binding medium. From the equilibrium amounts, the first binding constants and thermodynamic parameters for the bindings were evaluated. The first binding constants and thermodynamic parameters were not varied with these dyes. This result indicates that there is no hydrophobic interaction between the crosslinked polymers and the dyes in ethylene glycol. However, the first binding constants showed bell-shaped curves againtst the binding temperatures. This result could be explained in terms of the crosslinked hole size with temperature variation.

IPN (Interpenetrating Polymer Network) is a mixture of two or more crosslinked polymers with physically interlocked network structures between the component polymers. IPN can be classified as an alloy of thermosets and has the characteristics of thermosets such as the thermal resistance and chemical resistance and also has the characteristics of polymer alloys with enhanced impact resistance and amphoteric properties. The physical interlocking during the synthesis restricts the phase separation of the component polymer with chemical pinning process, thus the control of morphology is possible through variations of the reaction temperature and pressure, catalyst concentration and crosslinking agent concentration. Finely dispersed domain structure can be obtained through IPN synthesis of polymer components with gross immiscibility. In membrane applications, particularly for the separation of liquid mixtures, crosslinked polymer component with specific affinity to the permeate is needed. With the presence of the permeant-inert polymer component, the mechanical strength and the selectivity of the membranes are enhanced by restricting the swelling of the transporting polymer component networks.

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)를 이용하여 제조한 메탄올의 유방성 용액에 두 종류의 aliphatic dicarboxylic acid chlorides (succinyl chloride 와 suberoyl chloride)를 첨가하여 주형시킴에 의해 cholesteric 질서를 지닌 가교필름들을 제조하였다. 가교필름의 cholesteric pitch의 온도의존성과 물과 메탄올중에서의 가교필름의 팽윤거동을 검토하였다. 필름들은 cholesteric 액정상의 특징적인 지문조직을 나타내었으며 이들의 pitch는 HPC 자체와 동일하게 온도가 상승함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나 모든 가교시료들은 주어진 온도하에서 HPC가 나타내는 pitch에 비해 대단히 크며 가교제의 농도 및 길이의 증가에 의해 증가하였다. 가교시료들은 두 용매중에서 이방성 팽윤을 나타냈다. 이방성 팽윤의 정도는 용매와 가교제의 종류에 다소 의존하나 검토된 가교제의 농도에는 거의 의존하지 않았다.
