Silicon, titanium, zirconium phosphates were synthesized by starting with appropriate chemical precursors in a solution. The synthetic procedure, chemical and physical structures were examined by FT-IR, liquid and solid state NMR, TGA, SEM, XRD, etc. The phosphates were examined for thermal and electrical properties. Advantages of the synthesis technique and the data on unique structures and thermal properties are reported.

Thermotropic behavior was observed in a number of aromatic copoly (ester amide)s containing a flexible spacer based on 4,4'$-dicarboxyalpha,\varpi-diphenoxy$ alkanes as an A component, di-acetylated p-aminophenol as a B, di-acetylated hydroquinone as a C gave the thermotropic copoly (ester amide)s containing a flexible spacer in the polymer backbone. 4,4'-diamino-3,3'-dimethoxybiphenyl as an amino group containing monomer as a D components. In the last case, up to 60 mol% of amide group was allowed to afford thermotropic liquid-crystallinity. The polymer structure and thermotropic nature were examined by solid-state and solution $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, polarizing microscopy, and IR spectroscopy.

New copolyimides containing nitrile side group were synthesized from copolymerization of pyromellitic dianhydride, m-phenylene diamine and 3,5-diaminobenzonitrile and subsequent thermal imidization of the resulting poly(amic acid). Crystallinity, glass transition temperature and initial decomposition temperature of copolyimides were almost identical to those of homo polyimide prepared from PMDA and m-PDA. Change of pretilt angle induced by the orientation layer of resulting copolyimide was investigated by using a nitrile-containg nematic liquid crystal cell after rubbing. As the content of polar nitrile group was increased in the copolymer, pretilt angle was increased from $3.65^{\circ}$ to $6.49^{\circ}$. The mechanism of this was speculated as the dipolar interaction between the liquid crystal and nitrile groups in copolyimide.

We fabricate poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiopene patterns using liquid-bridge-mediated nanotransfer (LB-nTM) printing via vapor phase polymerization (VPP). LB-nTM printing method can simultaneously enable the synthesis, alignment and patterning of the nanowires from molecular ink solutions. Two- or three-dimensional complex structures of VPP-PEDOT were directly fabricated over a large area using many types of molecular inks. VPP method is a versatile technique that can be used to obtain highly conducting coatings of conjugated polymer on both conducting and non-conducting substrates. The PEDOT patterns has analyzed crystallinity from X-ray diffraction pattern and select-area diffraction patterns. In addition, the PEDOT pattern has high conductivity compared other conducting polymers.

Hydroxypropyl chitin (HPCH) was prepared by reacting chitin with propylene oxide. HPCH showed the improved solubility in several organic solvents compared with chitin. It showed the remarkable solubility in formic acid. Form the results of polarized microscopic observatoin of HPCH solution in formic acid, finger-print pattern was observed in concentrations over 30 wt% solution. Since no typical thermogram was observed in DSC scan, the HPCH showed a lyotropic cholestric liquid crystallinity.

4-Hydroxy-4'-methoxyazobenzene and 4-hydroxy-4'-cyanoazobenzene were synthesized from phenol with p-anisidine and p-aminobenzonitrile through a diazotization reaction, respectively. They were reacted with 2-chloroethanol, 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol, or 2-[2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethoxy]ethanol to produce six kinds of new mesogenic alcohols having an azobenzene group that is sensitive to the ultraviolet. Twelve kinds of new photoresponsive monomers with two symmetrical mesogens were prepared by the reaction of the mesogenic alcohols with fumaric acid or maleic acid through a Mitsunobu reaction. The resulting monomers have different length of flexible ethyleneoxy spacer tethered to azobenzene group. The length of the spacer affected their thermal stability, solubility, and phase transition temperature. Structures of the monomers were identified by FT-IR and ¹H-NMR spectra. Their phase transition temperatures and thermal stability were also investigated by a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). From an optical polarizing microscopy, all the prepared monomers except fumarate-1 and maleate-1 were found to show enantiotropic liquid crystallinity with a smectic texture like focal-conic, fan-shaped, and batonnet textures.

A series of compounds that contain varying numbers of the same mesogenic structure, biphenyl p-oxybenzoate unit, attached through a pentamethylene spacer to the central benzene ring were prepared and their liquid crystallinity was studied. The mesophase-forming ability of a dimesogenic compound was found to be greatly dependent on whether or not its geometric shape is linear and also on the existence of the pentamethylene spacer between the mesogen and the central core. The presence of the spacer enhanced the capacity of a compound to form a mesophase. In the trimesogenic compound the mesogens were linked to the 1,3,5-positions of the core benzene ring through the spacer. The compound was found to be enantiotropically nematic.

Copolyeters consisted of p-oxybenzoly, naphthalene isomer and dimethyldisiloxyl group in different comonomer sequences were synthesized by solution polycondensation and characterized. The naphthalene isomers used in this study were of the 1,4 1,5, 2,6 and 2,7 naphthylene units. The inherent viscosities of the polymers were between 0.27~0.42dl/g and all of the polymers, with the exception of the 2,7-ordered copolyester, showed enantiotropic nematic behavior. Annealing the copolyesters resulted in increasing molecular weights and degree of crystallinity of crystallizable compositions. Ordered copolyesters exhibit significant differences in thermal transitions, thermal stability, crystalline properties and liquid crystallinity when compared with the properties of the corresponding radom copolyesters.

This study was conducted to elucidate the effects of NaOH fusion treatment on Na-P1 zeolite synthesis from fly ash and to evaluate its optimal condition. NaOH fusion treatment of fly ash led to Na-P1 zeolite with shorter reaction time and higher quality compared that of simple hydrothermal method. Mixed zeolite phases of Na-P1 and hydroxy sodalite were formed by the fusion treatment below $450^{\circ}C$, whereas only Na-P1 zeolite was formed above $550^{\circ}C$. Ratio of NaOH/fly ash, reaction times, fusion temperature and solid/liquid ratio strongly affected the kind and crystallinity of the zeolite formed. The CEC of Na-P1 zeolite formed at the optimum reaction conditions of NaOH/fly ash ratio 0.9 and solid/liquid ratio $1/5.0{\sim}1/7.5$ after NaOH fusion treatment at $550^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours was about $398cmol^+kg^{-1}$ which was 40% higher than those of control products. Therefore, it is clear that NaOH fusion treatment of fly ash in open system could lead to Na-P1 zeolite with high purity.
