Polyarylate(PAR)-nylon 6 block copolymers of various block lengths were prepared by the anionic polymerization of ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam using the polymeric activator from hydroxy-difuncrtional PAR and toluene diisocyanate. Phase separated morphology of PAR-nylon 6 block copolymer was suggerted from the thermal properties measured by differential scanning calorometry(d.s.c.). Partial miscbility between PAR block and nylon 6 block of the block copolymers was more evident at shorter length of constituent blocks. In binary blends of PAR-nylon 6 block copolymer with PAR or nylon 6 homopolymer, molecular-level mixing of homopolymers with corresponding blocks of block copolymer was supposed from the thermal properties measured by d.s.c..

The phospholipid-based MPCE(2-Methacryloxyethyl Phosphoryl Chlorine) copolymer was mixed with wet polyurethane for coating of nylon fabrics. The substitution rate of water in coagulation bath with DMF was changed under control of the size of formed hydrophilic microporous cell enable to manufacture excellent breathable, anti-bacterial and moisture control fabrics. Biocompatible property, vapor permeability, hydrostatic pressure, moisture management and anti-bacterial property were investigated for treated nylon fabrics. In result, increased moisture transmission rates, decreased water resistance and outstanding moisture control property could be confirmed by enhanced hydrophilicity of wet-coated nylon fabric with MPCE copolymer.

We investigated the evolution of crystal formation as a function of drawing ratio in poly(1,4-diaminobutane-co-adipic acid-co-${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam-co-diethylenetriamine)(nylon 466T) copolymer formed by four monomers, i.e 1,4-diaminobutane, adipic acid, ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam, diethylenetriamine(DETA), using synchrotron X-ray scattering measurement. In case of pristine(as spun) nylon 466T fiber, it was consisted with unoriented nylon $6{\alpha}$ and unoriented nylon $46{\alpha}$ phases. As increase the drawing ratio, unoriented nylon $6{\alpha}$ was transformed to oriented ${\gamma}$ phase, while unoriented nylon $46{\alpha}$ changed to oriented $46{\alpha}$ phase. The effect of the addition of DETA was not observed in the pristine fibers. However, DETA affected to restrict the formation of crystals at the maximum drawing condition, and as a result it had a role to increase the moisture regain.

The relationships among mechanical properties, rheological properties, and morphology by reactive extrusion based on commingled pckaging film wastes contains polypropylene (PP) pckaging film system [PP/polyethylene (PE)/aluminum (Al)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)] and Nylon packaging film system[Nylon/PE/linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE)] were investigated to improve the compatibility and toughness of these wastes using various compatibilizers such as ethylene vinylacetate (EVA), styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS), styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene-graft-maleic anhydride copolymer (SEBS-g-MA), polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) , polyethylene-graft-acrylic acid (PE-g-AA) and polypropylene-graft-acrylic acid (PP-g-AA). Compared with simple melt blend system, the blends showed improvement of about $50\%$ increase in physical properties when SEBS and EVA were added. However, SEBS-g-MA thermoplastic elastomer which is highly reactive with amine terminal group of nylon, resulted in about $200\%$ increase in impact strength. This compatibilization effect resulted from the increase of interfacial adhesion and the reduction of domain size of dispersed phase in PP/Nylon blend system.

Bio-based nylon 6-morpholinone random copolymers were prepared by the anionic ring opening polymerization of ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam and morpholinone, both of which were prepared from lysine and glucose, respectively. From this work, a new biomass based nylon 6 with improved hydrophilicity was prepared. Optimizing the polymerization condition, copolymer with a viscosity-average molecular weight of 30000 g/mol was prepared, with a yield of 80%. It was possible to improve the hydrophilicity of nylon 6 by its copolymerization with morpholinone. The prepared nylon 6-morpholinone random copolymers were then characterized using several analytical methods such as DSC, TGA, XRD, viscosity measurement with U-shaped glass capillary viscometer and contact angle measurement.

The quaternized compound of the copolymer between 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate and stearyl methacrylate (DSACC) was chosen as the mother resin for the water repellent of acrylics. The quaternized compound of 1-lauroyl dis (amino ethyl)-2-dodecyl imidazoline (LDDIC) was used to promote softening effect and hydrostatic pressure for the water repellent. The water repellent (EDUWC) obtained from the DSACC and LDDIC blended with waxes and emulsifiers improved the properties such as the water repellency, washable, tear strength and crease recovery when it was treated on the nylon fabrics with and without the resin. The reaction mechanism between the Nylon fiber and EDLWC was examined, and EDLWC was confirmed as the durable water repellent.

Nylon 6 and nylon elastomer were prepared by anionic polymerization route. Nylon elastomers, composed of hard segment of polyamide(PA) and soft segment of polyether(PE), were synthesized by use of TDI terminated polyol with caprolactam. The morphology of the electrospun webs of nylon and nylon elastomers, observed by FE-SEM, showed that the porous electrospun web was composed of nanofibers, whose diameter were in the range of 100 to 180 nm. Their behavior of melting and crystallization and the chemical structure of nylon elastomers were investigated by DSC and ATR FT-IR. Result of tensile testing indicated that nylon has higher tensile strength and lower elongation than nylon elastomers. Atmospheric plasma(APP) with $O_2$ and $N_2$ as reactive gas modified the surface of electrospun nylon and electrospun nylon elastomers allowing them higher hydrophilicity, while APP with $CH_4$ as reactive gas modified the surface of polymers allowing higher hydrophobicity.

Nylon 6 섬유는 우수한 기계적 물성과(강성, 탄성회복률 등) 염색성 등의 장점을 가지고 있어 의류용 등의 다양한 용도로 활용되어 왔다. Nylon 6 섬유를 포함한 대부분의 합성섬유는 천연섬유인 cotton 대비 흡수성이 낮고, cotton은 흡수성은 탁월하나 수분 건조속도가 매우 느리고 가격이 고가(약 10$/kg)여서 이를 대체할 새로운 고쾌적성 의류용 nylon 합성섬유의 개발이 시도되고 있다. 1953년 최초로 합성이 보고된 nylon 4는 구조상 소수성 탄소수가 적으며 친수성 아마이드기가 상대적으로 많아 흡수성과 속건성이 탁월한 이점을 가짐으로써 면을 대체할 수 있는 꿈의 합성섬유로 인식되었다. 1980년대 Chevron Research사를 중심으로 활발한 사업화 연구가 진행되었지만, 녹는점 $265^{\circ}C$) 대비 낮은 열분해온도($260^{\circ}C$) 특성으로 방사가공 시 내열성 문제를 극복하지 못해 아직까지 상업화에 이르지는 못하고 있다. 최근, 일본 산업기술종합연구소(AIST)를 중심으로 다시 바이오매스 유래 nylon 4의 개발이 시도됨에 따라 의류용 용도전개에 있어 가격 경쟁력을 갖춘 획기적인 소재 전환이 기대되고 있으며, 이로 인해 nylon 4 중합 연구가 다시 전 세계적 주목을 받기 시작하였다. 국내에서도 최근 nylon 4의 방사 내열성을 극복하고 기능성 부여가 가능한 nylon 4 공중합물에 대한 대체 연구가 본격적으로 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 진행 중인 nylon 4 공중합 섬유의 연구동향과 함께 nylon 6 대비 물성 및 염색특성 차이를 비교함으로써 향후 산업화에 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다.
