본 논문은 마이크로 유체 소자의 소재로서 많이 쓰이고 있는 poly(dimethyl-siloxane) (PDMS)의 친수성 유지를 위한 표면 개질에 대한 연구이다. PDMS는 유연성, 투명성 등의 다양한 장점을 가지고 있으나, 높은 소수성으로 인하여 유체 소자로의 응용에 제한을 갖는다. 기존 연구에서 수행한 산소 플라즈마 후 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) 처리에 의한 PDMS의 표면 개질은 친수성 유지 시간에 한계가 있었다. 이에 친수성 유지 시간을 증가시키기 위하여 경화된 PDMS에 두 시간의 오존 처리 후, 6시간 동안 monomethyl ether hydroquinone (MEHQ)가 제거된 HEMA로 표면을 개질한다. 표면 처리된 PDMS의 친수성 특성을 확인하기 위해 접촉각을 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 오존을 이용하였을 때 $60^{\circ}$ 이하의 낮은 접촉각이 900시간 이상 유지됨을 확인하였다.

Transdermal patches and polymer membrane were prepared and evaluated for their ability to antiviral agent in vitro. The membrane perpared with styrene and HEMA by 0.5 and 10% of styrene composition. And the transdermal patches were fabricated with this membrane and silastic silicone sheeting. The antiviral agents used were ACV, BVDU and FEAU. The higher HEMA content membranes exhibited relatively high release rate of each drug. Permeation was enhanced by increasing of drug concentration. The parameters of each drug in diffusion experiment with styrene-HEMA membrane were investigated.

The self-diffusion experiment of water was performed across two series of tactic poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), P(HEMA) membranes prepared by crosslinking with various amount of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDIC). The tagging material was tritium hydroxide (THO) and the efflux of THO was counted on a Liquid Scintillation Counter. The transport data of THO show that the permeability decreases as the amount of HMDIC increased from 2.5 to 10 mole % and the self-diffusions coefficient shows a parallel trend with it. The diffusivity data was discussed in terms of the change of water structural orderliness within membranes. Using the relation between viscosities and diffusivities derived from Eyring's absolute rate theory, the corresponding viscosities of water within two series of tactic P(HEMA) membranes were obtained. From this, it is seen that the viscosity of water within tactic P(HEMA) membranes may have the same values with those of supercooling water whose temperature ranges from -28 to -$36^{\circ}C.$.

A Series of hydrophilic-hydrophobic copolymeric surfaces of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and various alkyl methacrylate (RMA) have been prepared by in-situ solution copolymerization using a redox radical initiator. Contact angles of various probing fluids on the polymeric surfaces were determined in air (hydrophobic environment) and under water (hydrophilic environment). From contact angle data, the dispersive interaction contribution (${\gamma}^d_s$) and the polar contribution (${\gamma}^p_s$) to the total surface free energy (${\gamma}^d_s$) and interfacial energetic quantities (e.g., water-polymer, liquid-polymer interface, etc.) were estimated by surface and interface physicochemical theory. From the comparison of surface energetic components between hydrophobic and hydrophilic media, it is found that surface and interface energetic components of polymeric surface as a representative low-energy surface are highly dependent on environmental fluids. Also, from the correlation between interfacial energetic results and surface energetic criterion of biocompatibility, we found that HEMA/BMA, HEMA/HMA copolymer systems are in the region of biocompatibility.

In order to improve the properties of the copolymer and the terpolymer that was used as removal-type pressure sensitive adhesive(PSA), we synthesized quaterpolymer with the variation of the types of monomer, initiator, and solvent, and concentration, the monomer/solvent ratio, reaction temperature and time. and determined the properties of this adhesive: the viscosity, molecular weight, conversion, solid content and structure of polymer. The prepared polymer was crosslinked by changing the type of crosslinking agent and concentration, and then we investigated the characteristics or adhesive such as peel adhesion, shear adhesion, heat resistance, weathering resistance and peel adhesion to aging. The optimum performance of RA/2- EHA/MMA/2-HEMA as a PSA were obtained when benzoyl peroxide was used as an initiator with the reactant mixture consisted of 80% BA and 2-EHA, 15%, MMA, and 5% 2-HFMA. The optimum reaction temperature and time were $80^{\circ}C$ and 8 hours, respectively. For BA/2-EHA/MMA/AA, the optimum performance was obtained when the polymerization was performed at the monomer composition of 80% BA/2-EHA, 15% MMA, and 5% AA. BPO was used as initiator and the optimum reaction temperature and time were identical to those of BA/2-EHA/MMA/ 2-HEMA. Isocyanate and melamine were used to crosslink BA/2-EHA/MMA/2-HEMA and BA/2-EHA/MMA/AA, respectively. No effect on the type of cross-linking agent on the peel adhesion was observed with aging. The quarterpolymers crosslinked with melamine left residues on the counter surface after weathering resistance test, while the polymers crosslinked with isocyanate did not.

New pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) for polarizer film were prepared by electron beam (e-beam) radiation to acrylic copolymers, and their adhesive properties were investigated. The acrylic copolymers were synthesized by free radical polymerization of $n$-butylacrylate (BA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and acrylic acid (AA). The acrylic copolymers were coated on PET release films to a thickness of 25 ${\mu}m$, laminated to polarizer films, and then radiated with e-beam at room temperature. Gel fractions of all the acrylic copolymers after e-beam radiation at 50 kGy were higher than 93%, and their crosslinking densities were increased with increasing the content of HEMA units. PSA prepared by e-beam radiation of acrylic copolymer synthesized with a feed ratio of BA/HEMA/AA = 89.5/10/0.5 (w/w/w) at a dose of 50 kGy exhibited the best adhesion performances in terms of peel strength, creep resistance, durability and reliability, and light leakage. It is expected that the preparation method of PSAs via e-beam irradiation will improve the producibility and workability of polarizer film for liquid crystal display.

An atmospheric surface modification using plasma treatment method was applied to butadiene rubber to improve its adhesion strength by plate type reactor. In order to investigate the optimum reaction condition of plasma treatment, type of reaction gas(nitrogen, argon, oxygen, air), gas flow rate(30~100 mL/min), treated time(0~30 s) and primer modification method(GMA, 2-HEMA) were examined in a plate type plasma reactor. The results of the surface modification with respect to the treatment procedure was characterized by using SEM and ATR-FTIR. As the gas flow rate and treated time increases the contact angle decreases. The greatest adhesion strength was achieved at optimum condition such as flow rate of 60 mL/min, treated time 5 s and modification primer containing 2-HEMA for air. Due to the atmospheric surface modification using plate plasma method consequently reduced the wettability of butadiene rubber and resulted in the improvement of the adhesion.

Polydimethylsiloxane branched HEMA (SH) was Prepared by reacting polydimethylsilorane prepolymer and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). Polyacrylate modified Polyorganosiloxane (SMPA) was prepared by polymerization of methacrylic acid(MA), allyl glycidyl ether(AGE), aminopro- pyltrimethoxysilane (APTS), and SH. Their structures were confirmed by the measurement of FTIR and $^1H-NMR$ and thermal properties of SMPA were studied from TGA. Residual weight of SMPA at $400^{\circ}C$ increased according to increasing content of the APTS to 63 from 55%. SMPA sealant was prepared by adding additives, such as viscosity increasing agent, crosslinking agent, and fillers. Adhesion characteristics of SMPA-3 sealant was determined to be maximum load elongation, 2.01 %, and break load elongation, 2.28%. Adhesion characteristics for SMPA sealant prepared from SMPA-3 were better than those for SMPA sealant prepared from SMPA-1 and SMPA-2.
