Organic aerosols dispersed in the atmosphere likely undergo phase separation. Such internally mixed particles are often described as comprising an organic phase and an aqueous phase separately. We studied the morphology of two liquid separated aerosols in the sub-microscale by using a simple thermodynamic model with Russian doll geometry. The morphology of particles can be easily predicted from the simple criteria on the surface tension and two algebraic equations (the volume constraint and Young equation). This result may give the potential explanation about the complex morphology of the organic airborne particles.

A novel amphiphilic, symmetric rod-coil, triblock copolymer (denoted as PHEMA-b-PF-b-PHEMA) of poly(9,9-didodecylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PF) and poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) was synthesized. A $\pi$-conjugated poly(9,9-didodecylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PF) was used as a rodlike midblock segment and connected with hydrophilic end blocks of poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) by using an ATRP technique. The chemical structure of PHEMA-b-PF-b-PHEMA was confirmed by $^{1}H$-NMR and GPC, and its PL properties were investigated in selected solvents. Due to the dissimilarities in molecular conformation and solubility between PHEMA and PF blocks, both block segments were segregated to display a phase-separated morphology on a Si wafer.

본 연구에서는, 에폭시(DGEBA)/폴리아미드/DDS/2E4MZ-CNS 반응성 블렌드의 폴리아미드 함량에 따른 블렌드계의 열적, 형태학적 특징 및 기계적 물성에 대해 고찰하였다. 본 블렌드계의 경화거동은 DSC, 기계적 강도는 UTM, 형태학적 특징 변화는 SEM, 동적열기계특성은 DMTA를 사용하여 관찰하였다. 폴리아미드의 함량은 각각 10, 20, 30 phr, 경화촉진제인 2E4MZ-CNS의 함량은 2 phr이었으며 반응온도는 $180^{\circ}C$에서 30 min간 유지하였다. 에폭시/폴리아미드/DDS/2E4MZ-CNS 블렌드계는 경화촉진제의 첨가에 의해서 반응 시작 온도가 현저히 낮아지면서 폴리아미드 분산상의 경계면 구분이 어려워지고 co-continuous한 분산상이 관찰된다. 그러나, 경화촉진제가 없을 경우에는 분산상의 경계면이 선명하게 나타난다. 에폭시/폴리아미드/DDS/2E4MZ-CNS 블렌드계는 경화촉진제의 도입에 의해서 반응 온도와 형태학적 특징의 조절이 가능하여 경화촉진제를 사용하지 않는 경우보다 약 20% 높은 기계적 강도를 얻을 수 있었다. 결과적으로, 경화촉진제 도입에 의해서 에폭시와 폴리아미드 분산상 계면에서의 강한 결합력을 기대할 수 있었다.

메탈로센 촉매로 만든 폴리에틸렌(MCPE)과 Ziegler-Natta 촉매로 만들어진 4가지의 폴리올레핀으로 구성된 2원 블렌드의 상 형태학을 통하여 미세 분자 구조의 변화가 이들 블렌드의 상 형태학과 계면 거동에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다; 연구한 네 쌍의 블렌드는 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)-MCPE, 폴리프로필렌(PP)-MCPE, poly(propylene-co-ethylene) (CoPP)-MCPE, poly(propylene-co-ethylene-co-1-buthylene) (TerPP)-MCPE이며 모두 상 분리된 시스템이다. HDPE-MCPE는 HDPE 성분이 증가할수록 HDPE 결정이 MCPE 연속상에서 고르게 성장하는 동질상(homogeneous phase)을 나타내는 반면에, 나머지 세 쌍의 블렌드는 복잡한 이종의 상(heterogeneous phase) 형태학을 보였다. PP-MCPE는 PP와 MCPE의 상과 계면이 완전히 분리된 상 형태학을 보였고, MCPE가 50% 함유된 조성에서 상전이가 일어났다. CoPP-MCPE와 TerPP-MCPE는 이들 코폴리머에 함유한 에틸렌기로 인해 두 계면 사이의 혼화성이 증가하는 현상을 보였으며 MCPE가 40%인 블렌드에서 상전이가 일어났다. 특히 TerPP-MCPE 블렌드는 TerPP의 코폴리머가 MCPE와 같은 화학구조를 보이는 1-부텐과 에틸렌기를 가지고 있어 다른 두 블렌드인 PP-MCPE, CoPP-MCPE 보다 두 상간의 계면이 서로 부분적으로 섞이는 양상을 보였다. 상 형태학에서 본 미세 분자구조에 의한 부분적 상용성은 기계적 특성이나 유변학적 성질과도 밀접한 관계를 나타냈다. 그러므로 본 연구에 사용한 네 가지 블렌드는 두 상이 완전히 분리되어 열역학적으로 비 혼화성을 나타내지만 다음과 같은 특성을 제시할 수 있다. 즉 계면의 세기는 HDPE-MCPE>TerPP-MCPE>CoPP-MCPE>PP-MCPE 순이며, 이는 미세 분자 구조측면에서 공통의 화학 구성물이 계면 접착력(interfacial adhesion)의 증가를 가져오는 중요한 요인으로 작용하기 때문으로 여겨진다.

Most segmented polyurethanes are prepared from a two-step method where the polyol is end-capped with an excess of diisocyanate, followed by chain extension with stoichiometric amount of chain extender, In the final polymer the hard and soft segments tend to segregate, due to thermodynamic immiscibility and the differences in chemical structure between hard and soft segments, and produce a phase separated morphology of hard segment-rich and soft segment-rich phase.

형광 현미경을 이용하여 4-클로로-7-니트로벤조퓨라잔이 표지된 폴리스티렌과 폴리부타디엔 블렌드 디옥틸프탈레이트 용액의 전단력하에서의 상평형 거동을 관찰하였다. 형광 현미경과 위상차 현미경을 동시에 사용하여 형광이미지가 실제 블렌드용액의 모폴로지와 같음을 알 수 있었다. 형광 현미경을 이용하여 각 도메인에서 형광의 세기를 측정함으로써 도메인상 (폴리스티렌 풍부상)과 연속 매트릭스상 (폴리부타디엔 풍부상)이 외부에서 가해준 전단력에 의하여 조성비가 변화하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이렇게 측정되어진 전단력의 변화에 따른 조성 차이의 변화로부터 상분리 곡선이 이동함을 알 수 있었다.

Composite membranes of Nafion and sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) were prepared. Sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s with different degrees of sulfonation were blended with Nafion to reduce the methanol crossover. The morphology, proton conductivity and methanol permeability of the resulting composite membranes were investigated by SEM, EDAX, AC impedance spectroscopy and permeability measuring instrument. The cross­sections of the composite membranes showed a phase separated morphology. The morphology and phase separation mechanism could be controlled by varying the blend ratio and the degree of sulfonation of poly(arylene ether sulfone). These complex morphologies can be applied for reducing methanol crossover. The methanol permeability and proton conductivity of the composite membranes were lower than those of Nafion 117 membrane since the development of an ionic pathway in the blend membrane was more difficult than that in Nafion itself.

Electrospinning is a technique that produces sub-micron sized continuous fibers by electric force from polymer solutions or melts. Due to its versatile manufacturability and the cost effectiveness, this method has been recently adopted for the fabrication of one-dimensional materials. Here, we fabricated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer fibers, from which uniform carbon fibers with diameters of 100-200 nm were obtained after carbonization at 800 $^{\circ}C$ in N$_2$. Special emphasis was directed to the influence of the phase separated polymer solution on the morphology and the microstructure of the resulting carbon fiber. The addition of poly(stylene-co-acrylonitile) (SAN) makes the polymer solution phase separated, which allows for the formation of internal pores by its selective elimination after electrospinning. XPS and Raman Spectroscopy were used to confirm the surface composition and the degree of carbonization. At the PAN:SAN = 50:50 in vol%, the uniform carbon fibers with diameters of 300$\sim$500 nm and surface area of 131.6 m$^2$g$^{-1}$ were obtained.

Two-stage emulsion polymerizations of hydrophobic monomers on hydrophilic seed polymer particles were carried out to make core-shell composite particles. It was found that the loci of polymerization in the second stage were the surface layer of the hydrophilic seed latex particles, and that it has resulted in the formation of either eccentric core-shell particles with the core exposed to the aqueous phase or aggregated nonspherical composite particles with the shell attached on the seed surface as many small separated particles. The driving force of these phenomena is related to the gain in free energy of the system in going from the hydrophobic polymer-water interface to hydrophilic polymer-water interface. Thermodynamic analysis of the present polymerization system, which was based on spreading coefficients, supported the likely occurrence of such nonspherical particles due to the combined effects of interfacial free energies and phase separation between the two polymer phases. A hypothetical pathway was proposed to prepare hydrophilic core-hydrophobic shell composite latex particles, which is based on the concept of opposing driving and resistance forces for the phase migration. It was found that the viscosity of the monomer-swollen polymer phase played important role in the formation of particle morphology.

The pervaporation behavior of EtOH/Water mixture through IPN membranes was predicted in this study. The pervaporation characteristics of single polymer membrane were modeled according to the "six-coefficients model" proposed by Brun. In the case of the IPN membrane, two models were proposed according to the phase structure of the IPN. For a uniphase membrane with no phase separation, the compositional average of the single polymer membrane was used. in the case of the phase separated IPN's two cases existed. The first was the island and sea model: in which one phase was continuous and the other was dispersed. The second was the co-continuous model where two continuous phases existed. For these cases, the permeation rate and the separation factor of the IPN membrane were calculated using the experimental sorption data and the cornponent polymer properties. Comparison with the experimental data indicated that these models could be used to predict the performances of IPN membranes depending on the morphology of the IPN.
