Noble thermosensitive nanoparticles, based on a PNIPAAm-co-AA core and a chitosan shell structure, were designed and synthesized for the controlled release of the loaded drug. PNIPAAm nanoparticles containing a carboxylic group on their surface were synthesized using emulsion polymerization. The carboxylic groups were conjugated with the amino group of a low molecular weight, water soluble chitosan. The particle size of the synthesized nanoparticles was decreased from 380 to 25 nm as the temperature of the dispersed medium was increased. Chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles with $2{\sim}5$ wt% MBA, a crosslinking monomer, induced a stable aqueous dispersion at a concentration of 1mg/1mL. The chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles showed thermo sensitive behaviors such as LCST and size shrinkage that were affected by the PNIPAAm core and induced some particle aggregation around LCST, which was not shown in the NIPAAm-co-AA nanoparticles. These chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles are also expected to be more biocompatible than the PNIPAAm core itself through the chitosan shell structures.

The surface of poly(ethylene naphthalate) film applicable to high temerature insulator for convection microwave oven was modified with silicone coating solutions in the presence of silane crosslinking agent. The structure and properties of the PEN films were investigated by using Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, viscometry, microscopy, and tensile tests. The experimental results showed that the coating with silicone enhanced thermal stability up to $200^{\circ}C$, and slightly lowered the tensile strength and elongation of the PEN films. Judging from dimensional stability results the silicone coated PEN films can not be used for higher temperature insulator above $230^{\circ}C$. Serious dimensional contraction of films was obtained during heat treatment at $250^{\circ}C$ even for 1h. However, the surface of those films still have same chemical structure of silicones. Therefore, If we use PEN film prestretched at $230^{\circ}C$ as base one it will be possible to prepare a high temperature insulator up to $230^{\circ}C$. Conclusively, a silicone coated PEN film can be suitable for the application to convection microwave oven door insulator at high temperature up to $230^{\circ}C$.

Superporous Hydrogels (SPHs) have been extensively investigated for various biomedical applications due to their fast swelling and superabsorbent properties. In this study, glycol chitosan that is one of most abundant natural polymers was used as a cross-linking agent instead of bisacrylamide (BIS), which is a broadly used crosslinking agent for preparation of SPHs. Glycol chitosan was modified to have reactive vinyl groups by chemical conjugation with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The vinyl group-containing glycol chitosan (GC-GMA) was characterized by FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR measurements. SPHs have been prepared in various synthetic conditions to establish the optimum synthetic process for making superporous structure, where the inner pores are interconnected to each other to form a open channel structure. Various SPHs with different GC-GMA contents have been successfully prepared and have been observed to show faster swelling properties than other conventional SPHs. From the study on the swelling behavior of SPHs, the GC-GMA content is considered to be an important factor for controlling their swelling properties.

For the pervaporation of water-ethanol mixtures, new composite membranes having poly(acrylic acid)-poly (butyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) interpenetrati ng polymer network [PAA-P(BMA-co-MMA) IPN] skin layer supported on porous and crosslinked poly(BMA-co-MMA) were prepared. The morphology of the sub-layer of the composite membrane prepared in the presence of 60 wt% solvent showed cellular structure, on the other hand that of sublayer prepared in the presence of 70 wt% solvent presented very porous interconnected pore structure with macrovoids. Permeation rates of the composite membranes were largely influenced by the morphology of the sublayer. Separation factors increased with the increase of the degree of crosslinking of the PAA network. It was found that permeation rates could be increased by introducing anionic charges on carboxyl groups of the PAA. The permeation rate changes of the PAA-P(BMA-co-MMA) IPN composite membranes according to the feed compositions showed quite similar pattern with the swelling behavior in water-ethanol mixtures.

PTCA(1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid) and BTCA(1,2,3-butanetetracarboxylic acid) are selected as new nonformaldehyde agents for ester crosslinking of cotton cellulose to replace the traditional DMDHEU reagent. A goal of this research is to propose unknown ester mechanism of cotton cellulose by PTCA or BTCA using crystal structure model suggested by Meyer and Takahashi. In pursuit of these goals, we have treated 100% cotton broad cloth with PTCA or BTCA and different catalysts. They were used with $NaH_2PO_2,\;NaH_2PO_4,\;Na_2HPO_4,\;NaH_2PO_2,\;Na_3PO_4,$ catalysts to produce nonformaldehyde fabric finishes. Treatments were applied to all cotton fabrics using a pad-dry -cure process. The esterfication of cotton treated with BTCA or PTCA was investigated using Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectra and the breaking strength, abrasion retention and discoloration properties were determined to prove the durable finished fabrics. Patterns with respect to abrasion resistance were more complex. Because PTCA and BTCA add-ons were comparable, the data suggest that the more effective catalysts, $NaH_2PO_2$ and mixed phosphate $NaH_2PO_2/NaH_2PO_4$) are effecting either a great number of crosslinks in the cotton or producing crosslinks that differ in actual structure.

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.

본 연구에서, 랜덤(r-) 및 블록(b-) 구조를 가지는 가교 공중합 폴리이미드를 N,N-bis(2-hyoxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid와 pentanediol을 가교제로 사용하여 제조하였다. 비교를 위하여 가교되지 않은 r- 과 b- 술폰화 공중합 폴리이미드도 제조하였다. 술폰산기의 조성에 강한 의존성을 보이는 이온교환능 값은 r- 과 b- 술폰화 공중합 폴리이미드에서 서로 비슷한 경향을 나타냈다. 카르복실산 기의 dimerization을 통한 물리적 가교현상은, 가교되지 않은 b- 술폰화 공중합 폴리이미드 고분자의 평균 사슬 거리를 감소시켰으며, 결과적으로 함수율과 메탄올 투과도를 r- 술폰화 공중합 폴리이미드보다 감소시켰다. 동시에, 고분자의 평균 사슬 거리의 감소는 단위 부피당 fixed-charged 이온의 함량을 증가시켰고, 이렇게 높아진 liked-charged 이온 밀도는 b- 술폰화 공중합 폴리이미드의 수소이온 전도도의 향상에 기여하였다. 가교제 및 고분자 구조에 상관없이, 가교구조의 도입은 고분자 사슬간의 평균 거리를 감소시켰고, 메탄올 투과도를 낮추었다. 반면에, 수소이온 전도도는 향상되는 경향을 나타내었는데, 이는 수소이온의 전달을 담당하는 친수성 채널이 효과적으로 형성 될 수 있기 때문이다. 특히, 이러한 경향은 술폰산기를 가진 가교제로 가교된, r- 술폰화 공중합 플리이미드에서 뚜렷하게 나타났다.

에어로겔은 높은 기공률과 나노기공구조를 갖는 물질이다. 이러한 높은 기공률로 인해 기존의 소재에서 볼 수 없는 뛰어난 특성을 보유하고 있지만 낮은 기계적 강도로 인해 적용이 제한되어왔다. 따라서 이러한 에어로겔의 기계적 강도의 향상을 위해 본 연구에서는 폴리우레아 가교결합을 도입하고 폴리우레아 고분자 형성에 필수적인 아민기를 갖는 전구체를 선택하여 폴리우레아가 가교결합된 에어로겔 복합체를 합성하였다. 또한, aminosilane에 존재하는 아민기의 수에 따라 폴리우레아의 가교결합을 조절하였고 다양한 분석을 통해 에어로겔이 나노기공구조를 유지하며 mesopore를 갖는다는 것을 확인하였다. 이렇게 형성된 에어로겔은 약 2배의 기계적 강도 향상을 나타내었고 Ethylene diamine의 도입을 통해 실리카 에어로겔 표면에 1차원의 고분자가 성장하는 것을 field emission scanning electron microscope 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 이렇게 형성된 1차원의 고분자는 기계적 특성을 향상시켜 약 2.66 MPa의 elastic modulus를 확보하는 결과를 도출하였다.

In this paper, we study the correlation between the crystallinity of semiconductive compounds for eco-friendly power cables and the dispersive properties of carbon black. The crystal structure of the polymer material is advantageous for mechanical properties and heat-resistance. However, the polymer acts as an inhibitor to the dispersibility of carbon black. The purpose of this study is to develop a TPE semiconductive compound technology. The high heat resistance and ultra-smoothness characteristics which are required for high voltage and ultra-high voltage cables should be satisfied by designing and optimizing the structure of a non-crosslinking-type eco-friendly TPE semiconductive compound. The application of excess TPE resin was found to not only inhibit the processability in the compounding process, but also reduced the dispersion properties of carbon black due to higher crystallinity. After the crystallinity of the compound was identified through DSC analysis, it was compared with the related dispersion characteristics. Through this analysis and comparison, we designed the optimal structure of the eco-friendly TPE semiconductive compound.
