A superabsorbent hydrogel (SAH) can absorb and retain water weighing more than a hundred times of their dry weight because of their three-dimensional hydrophilic structure. To fabricate an SAH, itaconic acid (IA) and vinyl sulfonic acid (VSA) were subjected to radical polymerization in an aqueous solution, wherein IA and VSA were neutralized, and then, a crosslinker and a thermal initiator were added in sequence. The structure of poly(IA-co-VSA) was characterized using attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. We also studied the changes in the absorption properties of the SAH composites according to the polymerization temperature, degree of neutralization, type and content of the initiator used, and type and content of the crosslinker used. Thus, we could determine the effects of some synthetic factors on the absorption properties of the SAH.

A polymeric adhesion promoter was synthesized to improve the adhesive strength of the Ni lead frame/epoxy composite. Poly(itaconic acid-co-acrylamide) (IAcAAM) was prepared by copolymerizing itaconic acid and acrylamide. We compared the adhesive strength between the Ni lead frame and epoxy composite according to the molecular weight of IAcAAM. The molecular weight of IAcAAM was controlled using an initiator, which made it possible to use IAcAAM in the epoxy molding compound (EMC) manufacturing process by modulating the melting temperature. The adhesive strength of Ni lead frame/epoxy composite increased with the addition of IAcAAM to the epoxy composite. In addition, as the molecular weight of IAcAAM increased, the adhesive strength of the Ni lead frame/epoxy composite slightly increased. We confirmed that IAcAAM with an appropriate molecular weight can be used in the EMC manufacturing process and increase the adhesive strength of the Ni lead frame/epoxy composite.

The fluorescence sensor is utilized to monitor the complex fluorescence patterns of intra- and extracellular components in cultivation processes. Especially biogenic fluorophores such as proteins and peptides (tryptophan, phenylalanine), coenzymes (FAD, NAD(P)H) and vitamins (riboflavin, pyridoxine) within cells are detected by a fluorescence sensor. In this work a 2-dimensional fluorescence sensor has been used to monitor a production process of itaconic acid by Aspergillus terreus and the on-line monitored spectra data can be con-elated to off-line data measured by a few methods.

The scale-up criterion of constant oxygen mass transfer coefficient ($k_La$) was applied for the production of itaconic acid (IA) in a 50 L pilot-scale fermentor by the fungal cells of Aspergillus terreus. Various operating conditions were examined to collect as many $k_La$ data as possible by adjusting the stirring speed and aeration rate in both 5 L and 50 L fermentor systems. In the fermentations performed with the 5 L fermentor, the highest IA production was obtained under the operating conditions of 200 rpm and 1.5 vvm. Accordingly, we intended to find out parallel agitation and aeration rates in the 50 L fermentor system, under which the $k_La$ value measured was almost identical to that ($0.02sec^{-1}$) of the 5 L system. The conditions of 180 rpm and 0.5 vvm in the 50 L system turned out to be optimal for providing almost the same volumetric amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) into the fermentor, without causing shear damage to the producing cells due to excessive agitation. Practically identical fermentation physiologies were observed in both fermentations performed under those respective operating conditions, as demonstrated by nearly the same values of volumetric ($Q_p$) and specific ($q_p$) IA production rates, IA production yield ($Y_{p/s}$), and specific growth rate (${\mu}$). Specifically, the negligible difference of the specific growth rate (${\mu}$) between the two cultures (i.e., $0.029h^{-1}$ vs. $0.031h^{-1}$) was notable, considering the fact that ${\mu}$ normally has a significant influence on $q_p$ in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites such as itaconic acid.

본 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌 (PP)과 에틸렌 비닐알코올 공중합체 (EVOH)의 블렌드에 있어 발생하는 상분리 현상을 방지하고자 PP에 itaconic acid (IA)가 그라프트 된 PP-g-IA 를 상용화제로 이용하였다. PP-g-IA 상용화제는 PP base에 IA의 투입량을 1, 2, 5, 10 wt.% 로 달리하면서 투입하여 제조하였으며, FT-IR과 $^1H$ NMR 분석을 통하여 성공적으로 PP에 IA가 그래프트 되었음을 확인하였다. 이 중 그래프트율이 1% 로 가장 높게 나타난 PP-g-IA 상용화제를 PP/EVOH 블렌드 연구에 적용하였다. 신규 상용화제가 적용된 PP/EVOH 블렌드는 SEM을 이용하여 모폴로지를 관찰하였고, DSC 와 UTM를 이용하여 열적 기계적 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, PP-g-IA 상용화제는 PP/EVOH 블렌드의 계면접착력을 향상시키는 것으로 나타나 상용화제로써의 유효성이 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 표면처리된 Cu 리드프레임과 에폭시 컴포지트의 접착강도를 향상시키기 위하여 신규 고분자 접착증진제인 poly(itaconic acid-co-acrylamide) (IAcAAM)를 합성하였다. 이타콘산과 아크릴아마이드를 포함하는 IAcAAM은 라디칼 수성 중합을 통해 제조되었다. IAcAAM의 구조 및 물성은 FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, GPC 및 DSC로 분석하였다. Cu 리드프레임의 표면은 고온, 알칼리, UV 오존으로 처리하였다. 표면처리 후 Cu 리드프레임의 접촉각이 감소함에 따라 Cu 리드프레임/에폭시 컴포지트의 접착강도는 증가하였다. 에폭시 혼합물에 IAcAAM을 첨가함에 따라 Cu 리드프레임/에폭시 컴포지트의 접착강도가 증가하였다. 또한, 에폭시 혼합물에 실리카 함량이 증가할수록 Cu 리드 프레임과 에폭시 컴포지트의 접착강도는 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

유기과산화물 개시제를 사용하여 ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM)에 단량체 itaconic acid (IA)를 용융 그라프트시켜 그라프트 중합물 EPDM-g-IA을 얻었다. 이 과정에서 효율적인 그라프트 율과 인장강도 특성이 우수한 그라프트 중합물을 얻기 위한 최적의 반응조건과 단량체 및 개시제 농도를 구하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 그라프트 온도 및 시간 등의 반응조건, 개시제 종류 및 함량, 모노머 함량이 EPDM-g-IA의 그라프트 율, 그라프트 효율, 용융흐름지수(MI) 및 겔 함량 등에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 개시제 중에서 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butyl peroxy)-hexane (T-101)가 가장 우수한 그라프트 정도 (1.91 %)를 나타내었으며, IA와 T-101의 함량이 증가함에 따라 그라프트 율은 증가하였다. 또한 그라프트 율은 반응(혼합)온도 및 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 역시 증가하다가 특정 온도/시간 이상에서는 안정화 혹은 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들로부터 최적의 단량체와 개시제 농도는 5wt%와 0.05 wt%이었으며, 최적의 반응온도와 시간은 $160^{\circ}C$와 15분인 것을 알 수 있었다. 이타콘산 그라프트 EPDM은 미반응 EPDM에 비해 인장강도 등의 기계적 물성이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study investigates the rheological properties of in-situ polymerized solutions of polyacrylonitrile(PAN) and acrylonitrile(AN) -itaconic acid(IA) in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) in terms of temperature, concentration, and time. The complex viscosity and storage modulus of the solutions were generally increased with elapsing time, which is ascribable to the three-dimensional pseudostructures formed by strong inter- or Intra-molecular attractions through Polar -CN and -COOH groups. The three-dimensional pseudonetworks would lead to relation of the acrylic solutions in long term. This was more noticeable at higher temperature within the temperature range examined. In the case of 20% solutions one can not observe lower Newtonian flow region in the viscosity curve. Disappearance of lower Newtonian flow region is indicative of heterogeneity of the solution system. Casson Plot of the viscosity data revealed that 20% solutions of PAN and AN-IA copolymer in DMSO clearly demonstrated positive yield stress, ascertaining formation of pseudostructures in the solution systems.
