The thin films were obtained by plasma polymerization of phenyl isothiocyanate. Polymerizations were carried out in rf(13.56[MHz]) glow discharge generated in an inter-electrode capacitively coupled gas flow system. It was found that this monomer produces uniform films with a wide range of thicknesses, from hundreds of nanometers to tens of micrometers. The deposition rate appeared to be dependent on the substrate distance from the monomer inlet. The IR data revealed significant decrease in -NCS groups content in the polymer as compared with the monomer spectrum and indicated for the appearance of new absorption bands corresponding to the -CN and C-H aliphatic groups. The soluble fraction by GC was found to be composed of numerous low molecular-weight compounds.

The purpose of this study is synthesizing silicone polymer which is used the material of contact lens and solving the problems of water content and light transmittance for gas permeable contact lens. We used NVP, MMA, HEMA monomer for polymerization and EGDMA as cross linking regent. Also, we polymerized with a several formulation arrangement for the best condition as contact lens. After that. we measured water content and light transmittance by each sample which was polymerized. We polymerized the silicone polymer which is simultaneously pursued by the transparent and water content of the material and measured their physical nature of each sample on this study.

In order to create a single flocculant/dual flocculation system, polyacrylamide-co-trimethyl ammonium ethyl acrylate chloride (TAEAC) polymers with varying molecular weights and structures were prepared for use of flocculants. The higher the cationic density of the polymer is higher, the higher was the conversion rate and the ratio of monomer. An acrylamide as nonionic monomer was less reactive than a TAEAC as cationic monomer. The branched polymer which was polymerized with a cross-linking agent, N, N-methylene bis-acrylamide had a higher stability and higher viscosity than a linear polymer but its dewatering efficiency was poor in a single flocculation system. In the case of single flocculant/dual flocculation, the branched polymer has better flocculation efficiency and the water content of the dewatered cakes was lower than the others, as the result of a re-flocculation effect. The optimum conditions for dual flocculation are a sequence in which the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ dosage are 75% and 25%/total dosage of a single flocculation system. The dewatering efficiency of a dual flocculation system is improved considerably from 10 to 25% under the experimental conditions used herein.

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.

Polydiacetylene (PDA) is chemosensor materials that exhibit non-fluorescent-to-fluorescent transition as well as blue-to-red visible color change upon chemical or thermal stress. They have been studied in forms of film or microarray chip, so far. In this paper, we provide a novel technique to fabricate continuous micro-fiber PDA sensor using in-situ laser-polymerization technique and 3-D hydrodynamic focusing on a microfluidic chip. The flow of a monomer solution with diacetylene (DA) monomer is focused by a sheath flow on a 3-D microfluidic chip. The focused flow is exposed to 365 nm UV laser beam for in-situ polymerization which generates a continuous fiber containing DA monomers. Then, the fiber is exposed to 254 nm UV light to polymerize DA monomers to PDA. Preliminary results indicate that the fiber size can be controlled by the flow rates of the monomer solution and sheath flows and that a PDA sensor fiber successively responds to chemical and thermal stress.

In this study, we synthesized a terpolymer consisting of ethylene, 1-hexene, and styrenic monomer using a metallocene catalyst and cocatalyst ststem. The styrenic monomers empolyed as the third monomer were styrene, p-methylstyrene, and 4-tert-butylstyrene. The structure and composition of the terpolymers were characterized using $^{13}C$ NMR and $^1H$ NMR. Catalytic activity, polymer yield, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the terpolymers were analyzed. We also determined the glass transition temperature(Tg), crystallinity and thermal properties of the terpolymers by DMA, WAXS and TGA.

The work present here shows the technique to produce p-Doped polypyrrole particles by semibatch dispersion polymerization using steric-stabilizer. Monomer-starved polymerization process was successful to increase the particle size up to 50 nm in case of polyvinylalcohol (PVA) stabilizer, and up to 95 nm in case of methylcellulose stabilizer. The particle size and the bulk conductivity changed with the feed rates of monomer, the concentrations of initiator (dopant) and the type, molecular weight, concentrations of steric-stabilizer.

In this study, benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye was used as sensitizer for photographic emulsion, and the photographic characteristics were examined. The basic properties of sensitizer such as stability in various solvents were examined. The sensitizer was very stable in methanol, acetonitrile, acetone, dimethylformamide, and chloroform solution. Absorption spectra of benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye $2.5{\times}10^{-6}M$ and $5{\times}10^{-6}M$ concentrations in 10% aqueous methanol solutions containing $10^{-2}M$ potassium chloride show the monomer-J-aggregation characteristics. Compared to the absorption peak of the monomer in pure methanol solution, the red shifts of the monomer-J-aggregate peaks of benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye of $2.5{\times}10^{-6}M$ and $5{\times}10^{-6}M$ concentrations in 10% aqueous methanol solutions containing $10^{-2}M$ potassium chloride are 34nm respectively, and the sensitizing peak of benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye in photographic emulsion has red shift of 34nm. Therefore, if was concluded that benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye can be used as green sensitizing dye for the spectral sensitization of photographic emulsion.

The well-defined copolymers derived from Epichlorohydrin(ECH), Tetrahydrofuran(THF) were synthesized by Cationic ring-opening polymerization(CROP) with 1,4-Butandiol, a initiator, and $BF_3THF$ Complex, a catalyst via Activated monomer mechanism, which could lead to hydroxyl-terminated polyethers. The molecular weight of polymers were dependant on the ratio of [monomer]/[diol], Copolymer structures were controlled by monomers feed ratio, ECH and THF added. This polymers were functionalized from Chlorine group to Azide group using $S_N2$ reaction. Synthesized polymers were found to be as the prepolymer for polyurethane. Polyurethane was synthesized in the presence of N-100/IPDI mixture, a curing agent, and TPB(triphenyl bismuth)/MA(Maleic anhydride) mixture, a catalyst system. The curing behavior and mechanical properties of polyurethane after mixing with various prepolymer’s composition and the molecular weight were studied.

It has been studied the graft copolymerization of glycidyl-methacrylate monomer containing two functional groups (vinyl- & epoxyl-) to chloroprene rubber. The reaction occured in the manner of chain transfer mechanism was carried out by means of solution polymerization in toluene in the presence of benzoyl peroxide as the radical initiator. The graft copolymer obtained from this work was analyzed by using IR spectrum, and the physical properties of the polymer such as the thermal behavior were also studied according to TG-DTA methods, and the potency of adhesiveness for the purpose of commercial application was investigated. Experimental results for the graft copolymerization are summarized as follows. 1) A small amount of initiator (0.5%) and 50% of monomer showed the best result for the grafting of monomer to the polymer chain of rubber while the 15% of rubber solution was found to be most suitable to raise either for the grafting ratio or the polymerization ratio. 2) Optimum temperature for better yield of graft copolymer was proved to he at $75^{\circ}C\sim80^{\circ}C$ while those of reaction time was to be $1\sim2$ hours.
