MCM-41 (Mobil Composition of Matter) and SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous) were used as a supported catalyst for ethylene polymerization due to their combination of large surface area and wide range of pore size distribution. The morphology of supports was used to control the morphology of the resulting polymer. Different molar ratios of Al/Ti were used for ethylene polymerization at $60^{\circ}C$ under atmospheric pressure. The effect of different mass ratios of MCM-41/SBA-15 and 1-hexene concentration on polymerization activity and polymer properties was investigated. The catalytic activity and the crystallinity reached the highest value at Al/Ti of 480. Upon incorporation of MCM-41 and SBA-15 into $MgCl_2/TiCl_4$ catalyst, the molecular weight and crystallinity of polyethylene were enhanced. The obtained polyethylene showed melting temperature between 130 and $135^{\circ}C$. The polyethylene with replication structure of support and bimodal MWD was expected.

Pulp is typically used for paper industry to manufacturing various types of papers. However simply chemical modification makes enable the pulp to a wide range of application in various industrial fields. To bring the polymerization the gamma ray irradiated on the mixture of kenaf and PEGMA in various dose ranges from 20 to 60 kGy. As a results, the graft degree of 20.0% was obtained from 475 g of gamma ray irradiated pulp and PEGMA. After the polymerization, the chemical structure and morphology of the surfaces were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscope. Chemical structure of grafted pulp has significantly growth in carbonyl content with increasing the radiation dose. Also surface morphology was distinctly changed with decreased the degree of roughness and increasing the diameter. These results were explained gamma ray irradiation improve performance of graft polymerization efficiency.

A new type of cross-linked methylaluminoxane (MAO)-supported cocatalyst has been prepared by the reaction of a soluble MAO and a cross-liking agent such as an aromatic diamine compound. The cross-linked MAO-supported cocatalyst was used for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence of bis(n-butylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride, (n-BuCp)$_2$ZrCl$_2$. The catalyst activity of (n-BuCp)$_2$ZrCl$_2$ cocatalyzed with the new supported cocatalyst was higher than that of the commercial silica-supported MAO (SMAO) cocatalyst. The molecular weight and the bulk density of the polyethylene produced by using the new supported cocatalyst were slightly higher than those of polyethylene synthesized using commercial SMAO. The resulting polyethylene particles possess spherical morphologies with very few fine particles.

We have prepared poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanocomposites filled with two different types of fumed silicas, hydrophilic (FS) and hydrophobic (MFS) silicas of 7-nm diameter, by in situ polymerization. We then investigated the morphological changes, rheological properties, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties of the PET nanocomposites. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicate that the dispersibility of the fumed silica was improved effectively by in situ polymerization; in particular, MFS had better dispersibility than FS on the non-polar PET polymer. The crystallization behavior of the nanocomposites revealed a peculiar tendency: all the fillers acted as retarding agents for the crystallization of the PET nanocomposites. The incorporation of fumed silicas increased the intrinsic viscosities (IV) of the PET matrix, and the strong particleparticle interactions of the filler led to an increased melt viscosity. Additionally, the mechanical properties, toughness, and modules of the nano-composites all increased, even at low filler content.

The aim of this work is to study Monte Carlo simulation of ethylene (co)polymerization over Ziegler-Natta catalyst as investigated by Chen et al. The results revealed that the Monte Carlo simulation was similar to sum square error (SSE) model to prediction of stage II and III of polymerization. In the case of activation stage (stage I) both model had slightly deviation from experimental results. The modeling results demonstrated that in homopolymerization, SSE was superior to predict polymerization rate in current stage while for copolymerization, Monte Carlo had preferable prediction. The Monte Carlo simulation approved the SSE results to determine role of each site in total polymerization rate and revealed that homopolymerization rate changed from site to site and order of center was different compared to copolymerization. The polymer yield was reduced by addition of hydrogen amount however there was no specific effect on uptake curve which was predicted by Monte Carlo simulation with good accuracy. In the case of copolymerization it was evolved that monomer chain length and monomer concentration influenced the rate of polymerization as rate of polymerization reduced from 1-hexene to 1-octene and increased when monomer concentration proliferate.

Porous polymer monolithic columns were prepared by the direct free radical copolymerization of methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate within the confines of a chromatographic column in the presence of toluene-dodecanol as a porogenic solvent. The separation characteristics of the monolithic columns were tested by a homologous series of xanthine derivatives, theophylline and caffeine. The effects of the polymerization mixture composition and polymerization condition, mobile phase composition, flow rate and temperature on the retention times and separation efficiencies were investigated. The results showed that the selection of correct porogenic solvents and appropriate polymerization conditions are crucial for the preparation of the monolithic stationary phases. The separation efficiency was only extremely weakly dependent on flow rate and temperatures. Hydrogen-bonding interaction played an important role in the retention and separation. Compared with conventional particle columns, the monolithic column exhibited good stability, ease of regeneration, high separation efficiency and fast analysis.

Ionic liquid 기능화 및 메탈로센 촉매 담지를 위해 세 종류의 무정형 실리카와 SBA-15를 담체로 사용하였다. Ionic liquid가 표면 기능화된 실리카는 1,3-bis(cyanomethyl)imidazolium chloride의 염소 음이온과 실리카 표면의 OH 그룹 사이의 상호작용에 의해 합성되었다. 에틸렌 중합을 위해 ionic liquid가 기능화된 실리카에 메탈로센과 조촉매 methylaluminoxane(MAO)을 담지하였다. SBA-15와 비교하여 큰 기공 크기를 갖는 ionic liquid가 표면 기능화된 XPO-2412와 XPO-2410에 담지된 촉매는 기능화되지 않은 실리카에 담지된 촉매보다 높은 활성을 보였다. 그러나 SBA-15에 담지된 촉매는 ionic liquid의 표면 기능화 후에 활성이 감소하였다. 이는 ionic liquid와 메탈로센 촉매, 조촉매 MAO가 담지되면 기공의 크기가 크게 줄어들기 때문에 중합 시 에틸렌 모노머와 조촉매가 기공 내 촉매 활성점으로 확산하는데 제한을 받기 때문이다. 또한 실리카 표면의 OH 그룹의 농도 변화에 따른 촉매의 중합 활성에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. 무정형 실리카의 OH 그룹의 농도가 증가할수록 중합 활성도 증가하였으며 실리카에 담지된 촉매의 중합 활성은 ionic liquid 표면처리 후에도 유사한 경향을 보였다.

In this study, the optimal preparation conditions in the polymerization process of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were studied in detail. As a result, the dispersibility of $TiO_2$ was significantly improved by the addition of dispersant and steric hinderance additives into $TiO_2$/ethylene glycol (EG) slurry during the esterification step. The addition sequence of $TiO_2$/EG slurry and stirring also affected the dispersibility of $TiO_2$. The SEM results showed that some $TiO_2$ particles were agglomerated in the PET matrix. The full dull (FD) PET chip and fiber were prepared according to the optimal preparation conditions. The FD PET fiber exhibited a better dispersibility than that of the FD PET chip.

We have prepared the polymethylene-bridged, dinuciear, half-sandwich constrained geometry catalysts (CGC)［Zr(η$\^$5/:η$^1$-C$\_$9/H$\_$5/SiMe$_2$NCMe$_3$)］$_2$［(CH$_2$)$\_$n/］［n=6(9), n=12(10)］by treating 2 equivalents of ZrCl$_4$with the corresponding tetralithium salts of the ligands in toluene. $^1$H and $\^$13/C NMR spectra of the synthesized complexes provide firm evidence for the anticipated dinuciear structure. In $^1$H NMR spectra, two singlets representing the methyl group protons bonded at the Si atom of the CGC are present at 0.88 and 0.64 ppm, which are considerably downfield positions relative to the shifts of 0.02 and 0.05 ppm of the corresponding ligands. To investigate the catalytic behavior of the prepared dinuciear catalysts, we conducted copolymerizations of ethylene and styrene in the presence of MMAO. The prime observation is that the two dinuclear CGCs 9 and 10 are not efficient for copo-lymerization, which definitely distinguishes them from the corresponding titanium-based dinuclear CGC. These species are active catalysts, however, for ethylene homopolymerization; the activity of catalyst 10, which contains a 12-methylene bridge, is larger than that of 9 (6-methylene bridge), which indicates that the presence of the longer bridge between the two active sites contributes more effectively to facilitate the polymerization activity of the dinuciear CGC. The activities increase as the polymerization temperature increases from 40 to 70$^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the molecular weights of the polyethylenes are reduced when the polymerization temperature is increased. We observe that dinuciear metallocenes having different-length bridges give different polymerization results, which reconfirms the significant role that the nature of the bridging ligand has in controlling the polymerization properties of dinuclear catalysts.

$Cp_2ZrCl_2$ 촉매를 Montmorillonite (MMT) 담체에 각기 다른 3가지 방법[MMT/$Cp_2ZrCl_2$, MMT/MAO/$Cp_2ZrCl_2$, MMT/(MAO + $Cp_2ZrCl_2$)]을 적용하여 불균일 촉매를 제조하였고, 이를 이용하여 에틸렌 중합 특성을 조사하였다. 유기점토인 30B-MMT에 담지한 불균일계 촉매가 자연점토인 $Na^+-MMT$에 담지한 촉매보다 높은 담지율을 나타내었고, 에틸렌 중합에서 높은 활성을 보였다. 이는 유기점토의 층간사이에 존재하는 하이드록시기가 MAO 및 촉매와의 화학적 결합을 유도한다고 할 수 있다. MMT에 직접 메탈로센을 담지하여 에틸렌 중합에 사용할 경우 균일계 촉매에 비해 낮은 활성을 보이지만, MMT를 MAO로 처리해서 만든 MMT/MAO/$Cp_2ZrCl_2$ 촉매에 MMAO의 조촉매를 사용하여 중합시에는 높은 활성을 나타내었다. MMT 담지촉매로 제조된 폴리에틸렌은 담지방법에 관계없이 균일계 촉매에 비해 높은 용융점, 분자량, 분자량 분포를 보였으며, 또한 입자형상에 있어 크기가 상당히 증가한 구형의 입자를 나타내었다. 또한 가장 안정적인 담지 반응과 높은 활성을 나타낸 30B-MMT/MAO/$Cp_2ZrCl_2$ 촉매로 최적의 중합조건을 찾기 위해 공정변수에 따라 에틸렌 중합을 수행하였다.
