폴리비닐페놀 (PVPh)을 LiOH로 중화시켜 중화도가 다른 여러 종류의 PVPh 이오노머 (PVPh-Li)를 제조하였다. 중화도에 따른 PVPh-Li의 $T_{g}$ 변화를 DSC로 측정한 결과 Li mol% 당 3.$8^{\circ}C$의 $T_{g}$ 증가가 관찰되었으며 유사한 구조를 지닌 poly(styrene-co-hydroxy styrene)의 3.$2^{\circ}C$ 증가에 비해 높은 수치이다. 이는 중화되지 않은 -OH가 -OLi와 강한 상호작용을 하기 때문인 것으로 생각되며, 이러한 상호작용으로 인해 -OLi 끼리의 클러스터 형성이 어려워져 소각X선산란 실험에서도 뚜렷한 피크가 관찰되지 않았다. 제조된 PVPh-Li를 PVPh와 블렌드시 50/50 조성의 경우 중화도가 10 mo1%인 PVPh-Li와 혼합되어도 상분리를 관찰할 수 없었으나, 폴리메틸메타크릴레이트 (PMMA)와 블렌드시 중화도가 5 mol%인 PVPh-Li가 혼합되면 거대 상분리를 관찰할 수 있었다. 이로부터 수소결합으로 인해 혼화성이 있는 블렌드라 하더라도 한 성분을 이오노머를 변환할 경우 새로운 강한 분자간 이온-다이폴 상호작용이 생성되지 않는 한, 아주 낮은 정도만 이오노머로 변환되어도 혼화성이 급격히 감소해 상분리가 관찰됨을 알 수 있었다.

A series of thermoplastic polymers and their blends were melt-processed with high intensity ultrasonic wave in an intensive mixer. For the effective transfer of ultrasonic energy, an experimental apparatus was specially designed so that polymer melt can directly contact with ultrasonic horn. It was observed that significant variations in the rheological properties of polymers occur due to the unique action of ultrasonic wave without any aid of chemical additives. It was also found that the direct sonication on immiscible polymer blends in melt state reduces the domain sizes considerably and stabilizes the phase morphology of the blends. The degree of compatibilization was strongly affected by viscosity ratio of the components and the morphology was stable after annealing in properly compatibilized blends. It is suggested that ultrasound assisted melt mixing can lead to in-situ copolymer formation between the components and consequently provide an effective route to compatibilize immiscible polymer blends.

The effects of addition of non degradable polymers, polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) on the rate of enzymatic degradation of biodegradable poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) have been studied in term of surface structure. Since a component in multicomponent polymeric system has shown surface enrichment, PS and PMMA which have lower surface energy than PLLA were selected as a minor blend component (5 wt%). Enzymatic degradation was carried out at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.5 in the aqueous solution of Proteinase K. Two blend systems, partially miscible (PS/PLLA) and immiscible (PMMA/PLLA), showed the surface enrichment of 4 and 2 times of PS and PMMA, respectively. From the weight loss profile data, the slow degradation rate of both blend films was observed. This indicates that PS or PMMA domains which exist at surface act as a retardant of enzymatic attack.

Immiscible polymer blends containing a liquid crystalline polymer dispersed phase can be described by existing blend theories when the dispersed-phase droplets are large relative to the orientation correlation length ("domain size") of the LCP. There does not appear to be an interfacial contribution to the linear viscoelastic properties of the blend from droplets smaller than the correlation length. Polyester blends, where interfacial interactions occur between the LCP and the matrix, exhibit a reduction in viscosity to below the viscosity of either component at low shear rates, where the droplet morphology is spherical. These anomalies cannot be explained in the context of existing theory.ng theory.

The molecular interactions of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and cellulose acetate (CA) were investigated thoroughly via dilute solution viscometry in dimethylformamide (DMF) as a common solvent at $30^{\circ}C$. The intrinsic viscosities and viscometric interaction parameters were experimentally determined for both binary (polymer/dimethylformamide) and ternary (PAN/CA/dimethylformamide) systems. As all investigated PAN/CA ternaries evidenced negative viscometric interaction parameter values $({\Delta}b\;&{\Delta}k<0)$, the existence of repulsive intermolecular interactions was deduced, and PAN/CA blends were assigned as immiscible. Moreover, the results of microscopy photograph analysis indicated that pure PAN film evidences a homophasic structure, and the size of the phase domain increases gradually with increases in CA. In DSC analysis, it was determined that the glass transition temperature of the blend film increased slightly with increases in the CA content of the blend film.

We have performed Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies on blends of poly(vinyl phenol) (PVPh) with poly(n-alkylene 2,6-naphthalates) containing alkylene units of different lengths. The results indicate that each poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) and poly(trimethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PTN) blend with PVPh is immiscible or partially miscible, but blends of poly(butylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PBN) with PVPh are miscible over the whole range of compositions in the amorphous state. FTIR spectroscopic analysis confirmed that significant degree of intermolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between the PBN ester carbonyl groups and the PVPh hydroxyl groups. The large difference in the degree of mixing in these blend systems is described in terms of the effect that chain mobility has on the accessibility of the ester carbonyl functional groups toward the hydroxyl groups of PVPh, which in turn impacts the miscibility of these blends.

폴리락트산/폴리카프로락톤 (PLA/PCL) 블렌드의 조성비에 따른 상용성 및 결정화 거동을 살펴보았다. 특히 triphenyl phosphite (TPP)가 반응 상용화제로써 이들 블렌드의 상용성과 결정화 거동에 미치는 영향을 중점적으로 고찰하였다. PLA/PCL 블렌드의 열적 특성을 살펴보아 이들 블렌드가 비상용성 블렌드임을 확인하였으며 블렌드의 조성비에 따라 상용성 정도가 달라졌다. 블렌드에 TPP를 첨가하는 경우 TPP가 반응 상용화제로 작용하여 블렌드의 상용성을 증가시키며 상용화제 함량 증가에 따라 상용성이 우수해졌다. PLA에 PCL을 첨가하는 경우, 블렌드 조성비에 따른 비상용 특성에 의한 계면 형성이 구정 형성에 필요한 기핵 발현 정도를 변화시켜 결정화 속도가 달라졌다. TPP는 이들 블렌드의 상용성의 개선과 동시에 구정 성장을 촉진하여 PLA의 결정화 속도를 증가시킴을 확인하였다.

3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole(ATA)을 비상용성 블렌드인 maleated HDPE(mHDPE)/maleated EPDM (mEPDM)(50 wt%/50 wt%)에 용융혼합에 의해 2.5 phr, 5.0 phr 첨가하였으며, ATA 첨가에 따른 블렌드의 미세구조, 기계적물성 및 유변물성을 FT-IR, FE-SEM, 인장시험, DMA 및 ARES를 이용하여 각각 조사하였다. FTIR 및 DMA 분석결과 용융혼합 과정에서 ATA가 mHDPE 및 mEPDM의 말레무수물과 반응하여 초분자적 수소결합이 형성되며, 이로부터 물리적 가교구조가 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. FE-SEM 분석결과 mHDPE/mEPDM 블렌드는 플라스틱인 HDPE가 연속상을 이루고 고무상인 EPDM이 분산상을 이루며 ATA를 첨가함으로써 모폴로지가 더욱 미세해짐을 알 수 있었다. 인장물성시험결과 ATA에 첨가에 의해 형성된 물리적가교구조로 인해 인장강도, 모듈러스, 파단신율 값 및 탄성복원력이 증가되었으며, 용융레올로지 특성 분석결과 ATA가 첨가됨으로써 블렌드의 저장탄성율과 용융점도가 증가됨을 알 수 있었다.

Heterophase polymer system has been attractive for a potential applicability to gas separation membrane material. It has been known that there is a trade-off between gas permeability and its selectivity in common polymers. Therefore, the heterophase polymer can be an alternative for a gas separation membrane material because its transport properties can be readily controlled by blending of two different polymers. The transport properties of immiscible polymer blends strongly depend upon the intrinsic transport properties of corresponding polymers. Another important factor to determine the transport properties is their morphology: volume fraction, size and shape of dispersed phase. Although the effect of the volume fraction of the dispersed phase on the transport properties has been widely investigated, the size and shape effects have been paid attention very much. In an immiscible polymer blend of two polymers, its morphology is primarily controlled by its volume fraction of dispersed phase. Therefore, the effect of the size of the dispersed phase can be hardly seen. Therefore, a block copolymer has been commonly employed to control their morphology when each block is miscible with one or the other phase. In this work, gas transport properties will be measured by varying the morphology of the heterophase polymer membrane. The transport properties will be interpreted in terms of their morphology. The effect of the volume fraction of the PI phase and, in particular, its size effect will be investigated experimentally and theoretically.
