A series of four sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ fatty vinyl ester oligomers including sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ lauric acid vinyl ester oligomer, sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ myristic acid vinyl ester oligomer, sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ palmitic acid vinyl ester oligomer and sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ stearic acid vinyl ester oligomer were examined for surface activities such as surface tension, foaming power, foam stability, emulsifying power, dispersion effect, solubilization of orange OT. The critical micelle concentration(CMC) was also evaluated. Consequently, these sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ fatty acid vinyl ester oligomers were shown to have a good cohesive power and dispersion effect.

In this study, we synthesized a self-photocuring intermediate(SPI) by Michael addition reaction and synthesized polyurethane acrylate oligomer. Analysis and physical properties of the synthesized SPI and polyurethane acrylate oligomer were confirmed by FT-IR, NMR and UTM. As the content of the SPI increased, the tensile strength increased and the elongation decreased. In addition, since the film was hydrophobic, the surface energy tended to decrease. When the content of the SPI was 40 wt%, adhesion, processability, and pencil hardness were excellent, and solvent resistance was excellent overall.

The present study compared the Maillard reaction products (MRPs) derived from aqueous and ethanolic fructoseglycine and its oligomer (dimer and trimer) solutions. The pH was lower in glycine (G) than in diglycine (DG) and triglycine (TG) in both aqueous and ethanolic solutions, but the pH difference between the DG and TG was not significant. MRPs derived from the DG had a greater absorbance at 294 and 420 nm in ethanolic solution than in an aqueous solution. In particular, the loss of sugar was higher in ethanolic solution than in aqueous solution. Enolization of fructose was observed in both aqueous and ethanolic MRP solutions; however, enolization was not observed for the G in aqueous MRP solutions. The glycine oligomer content in ethanolic MRP solutions remained higher than that in aqueous MRP solutions. Furthermore, neither diglycine nor triglycine were detected in the G aqueous or ethanolic MRP solutions, while triglycine was detected in both the DG aqueous and ethanolic MRP solutions. Absorption in the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectra was higher with MRPs derived from the ethanolic solution than with those derived from the aqueous solution. MRPs derived from the DG in an ethanolic solution showed the highest absorption intensity.

Supramolecular hydrogels were instantaneously fabricated by mixing aqueous solutions of $\alpha$-cyclodextrins ($\alpha$-CDs) and amphiphilic methoxy (polyethylene glycol) (MPEG)-$\varepsilon$-caprolactone (CL) oligomer, which was synthesized via the ring-opening polymerization of the CL monomer using low-molecular-weight MPEG ($M_n$ of MPEG=2,000 g/mol) as an initiator. The supramolecular structure of the hydrogels was revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Rheological studies of the hydrogels revealed an elastic character when the number of CL units in the oligomer was more than 2, and the obtained hydrogels showed high storage modulus but relatively low shearing viscosity due to the low-molecular-weight character of the oligomer, which was more preferable for use as an injectable delivery system. The physical properties of the hydrogels could be modulated by controlling the chain morphology and concentration of the oligomers, as well as the feed molar ratio of the oligomer to $\alpha$-CD. The components of the supramolecular hydrogels are biocompatible and can readily be eliminated from the body. These features render the supramolecular hydro gels suitable as drug delivery systems and tissue engineering scaffolds.

The dispersing performance of oligomer-type anionic surfactants ($C_mD-Na$), cooligomers of diethylester maleate and alkylvinylether of different alkyl chain lengths or polymerization degree were studied on the aqueous suspension of iron dxide or titanium dioxide particles which are hydrophilic pigments. The dispersion behavior of oligomer-type surfactants for these dispersoids, although anion charges on the surface of pigments particles showed different dispersing properties, was dependent upon the side alkyl chain length. Oligomer-type surfactants having more than $C_8$ side alkyl chain exhibited large dispersing action for relatively hydrophobic ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and Anatase $TiO_2$ in the concentration range of more than 0.1% oligomer-type surfactant solutions.

During the development of low band-gap organic materials(p-type semiconducting organic compounds) for organic solar cells, an oligomer consisting of 2,5-dioctyloxyphenylene(OP), 3-hexylthiophene(HT), and 2,3-dimethylthieno[ 3,4-b]pyrazine(TP) as repeat units, oligo(OP-HT-TP), was synthesized. The oligomer was amorphous in nature in the temperature range studied, and well soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform. The maximum absorption wavelength was 716 nm in solid state. The band-gap and HOMO/LUMO energy levels of oligo(OP-HT-TP) were measured to be 1.20 eV and -5.27/4.04 eV, respectively. However, the absorbance of the oligomer at maximum absorption wavelength was less than one fifth of that of poly(3-hexylthiophene) which has been most frequently used in fabrication of organic solar cells.

Oligo(ethylene terephthalate)(OET), oligo(ethylene succinate-co-terephthalate)(OEST) and oligo(butylene succinate-co-terephthalate)(OBST), which are part of the poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) oligomer, were synthesized. Degradation test of oligomers carried out by the presence of lipase PS. There were two objectives in the experiment: first, to measure the weight remaining of the PET oligomer as increasing degradation time, and second to examine the degradation mechanism by analyzing the resulting degraded product. In the synthesis of OEST and OBST, by controlling the feed ratio of both OEST and OBST, we were able to obtain oligomer of different composition ratios. The various composition ratios resulted in oligomer of vastly different thermal properties. We observed that both OEST and OBST were degraded using lipase PS, but as the composition of terephthalic acid was increased, the lipase PS became less effective. We confirmed that the lipase PS easily decomposed polyester of the aliphatic compound.

To improve various physical properties of poly(isobutylene oxide) copolymers of isobutylene oxide and cyclohexene oxide have been synthesized with triisobutylaluminum as catalyst. The molecular weights of the copolymers are rather lower than that of poly(isobutylene oxide) prepared with diethylzinc catalyst. The glass transition temperatures of the copolymers are between those of two homopolymers. The copolymers of isobutylene oxide and vinyl cyclohexene oxide showed better thermal stability. Oligomer of isobutylene oxide has been synthesized for polyol and lubricant application. Acid catalyzed oligomerization gave vary complex mixture. But base catalyzed reaction afforded the pentamer and hexamer rich oligomer mixtures.

Two different reactive silicone oligomers, hydroxylpropyl terminated PDMS (PDMS-L) and 1-(2,3-dihydroxy-propoxy)propyl terminated PDMS (PDMS-B), were synthesized through hydrosilylation reaction under Karstedt's catalyst. Using the reactive silicone oligomers, two different silicone-modified gel-coat series were prepared to investigate their thermal and mechanical properties as well as surface characteristics according to reactive silicone oligomer contents. In case of thermal stabilities and mechanical properties, the gel-coat series containing PDMS-B showed higher values than that of the gel-coat series containing the PDMS-L. The contact angle for the gel-coat containing both silicone oligomers/was increased with reactive silicone oligomer contents but there was similar surface tension between PDMS-L and PDMS-B.

Cotton fabric was treated with chitosan solution by pad-dry(-cure) method to impart antimicrobial properties. Four chitosans of different degree of deacetylation(DAC: 65~95％) with similar molecular weight(ca. 50, 000) and one chitosan oligomer(MW 1, 800, DAC 86％) were used. Antimicribial activity against Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated by the Shake Flask Method. Treated fabrics were laundered up to 20 times according to AATCC Test Method 60-1986 and antimicrobial activity of laundered fabrics was evaluated. The antimicrobial activity was increased with the concentration and DAC of chitosan used. And the cured samples showed better durability to laundering than not-cured samples. Crosslinker and binder decreased the antimicrobial activity of fabrics treated with chitosan oligomer and were not effective to improve the durability to washing.
