본 연구에서는 에폭시(DGEBA)/폴리아미드/MPD 반응성 블렌드의 폴리아미드 함량에 따른 블렌드계의 형태학적 특징 및 기계적 물성에 대해 고찰하였다. 본 블렌드계의 경화거동은 DSC, 기계적 강도는 UTM, 형태학적 특징 변화는 SEM을 사용하여 관찰하였다. 에폭시와의 상용성이 우수한 폴리아미드를 선택하여 0$\sim$30 phr까지 함량을 조절 하였으며, 경화 반응을 위해 $170^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 30분간 유지하였다. 에폭시/폴리아미드/MPD 블렌드계에서 폴리아미드의 함량에 따른 경화 반응에서는 시작 온도와 최대 발열 온도가 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 이것은 에폭시와의 상용성이 우수한 폴리아미드에 의해 경화 반응이 거의 방해받지 않았음을 보여 준다. 대체적으로 상용성이 우수한 폴리아미드 분산상의 크기는 100-300 nm로써 매우 작았으며, 폴리아미드 함량이 20 phr일 때 폴리아미드 분산상의 경계면 구분이 어려워지고 co-continuous한 분산상이 관찰되었다. 상압 플라즈마 표면처리에 따라 표면 자유 에너지의 증가에 의해 접착력에서 약 20%의 향상 효과를 보였으며, 폴리아미드의 함량이 20 phr일 때 co-continuous한 분산상에 의해 약 50%의 접착력 향상 효과가 있었다. 이것은 시편의 표면처리와 블렌드계의 형태학적 조절을 동시에 고려하면서 구조용 접착제에서 강인성을 확보함과 동시에 우수한 접착력 향상을 기대할 수 있음을 보여 준다.

Dynamically vulcanized PMMA/ACM (80 wt%/20 wt%) blend using DCP as a curing agent was prepared using internal mixer. The morphology, mechanical properties, optical properties, melt viscosity and die swell were characterized by using FE-SEM, tensile test, Izod impact test, dynamic mechanical analysis, ARES and capillary rheometer, respectively. The blends show a phase-separated morphology in which ACM are dispersed in PMMA matrix. Dynamically vulcanized blend exhibits higher mechanical properties, higher melt viscosity, and die swell as compared to simple blend. And, the dynamically vulcanized blend showed total transmittance of more than 75% and haze of higher than 90%, which enable it to find potential applications to fabricate an optical diffuser by extrusion process.

The changes of weight gain, structure, morphology and uranium oxidation states in l0wt% G $d_2$ $O_3$-doped U $O_2$ during the oxidation below 475$^{\circ}C$ and heat treatment at 130$0^{\circ}C$ in air were investigated using TGA, XRD, SEM, EPMA and XPS. The room temperature ( $U_{0.86}$G $d_{0.14}$) $O_2$Cubic Phase Converted to highly distorted ( $U_{0.86}$G $d_{0.14}$)$_3$ $O_{8}$ -type sing1e Phase by oxidation at 475 $^{\circ}C$ in air. This oxidized phase was reduced by annealing at 130$0^{\circ}C$ in air. The room temperature XRD pattern of the 130$0^{\circ}C$ annealed powder revealed that ( $U_{0.86}$G $d_{0.14}$)$_3$ $O_{8}$ -type single phase was separated into Gd-depleted $U_3$ $O_{8}$ and Gd-enriched ( $U_{0.7}$G $d_{0.3}$) $O_2$$_{+x}$ type cubic phase. The reduction and phase separation by the high temperature annealing of kinetically metastable and highly deformed ( $U_{0.86}$G $d_{0.14}$)$_3$ $O_{8}$ -type phase are interpreted in terms of cation size difference between G $d^3$$^{+}$ and U according to the oxidation state of U.U.U.U.U.te of U.U.U.U.U.

Morphology of membrane affects its performance [1]. For a constant amount of fixed charges, the distribution of these charges is also significant to its performance (2). In some ionomer membranes such as Nafion, the membrane fixed charge is not randomly distributed, but occurs in clusters. Thus, the membrane solution is phase-separated, with the ion clusters, acting as inverted micelles in a polymer solvent.(omitted)

In this study, the silica-based hybrid material with high barrier property was prepared by incorporating ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer, which has been utilized as packaging materials due to its superior gas permeation resistance, during sol-gel process. In preparation of this EVOH/$SiO_2$ hybrid coating materials, the (3-glycidoxy-propyl)-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as a silane coupling agent was employed to promote interfacial adhesion between organic and inorganic phases. As confirmed from FT-IR analysis, the physical interaction between two phases was improved due to the increased hydrogen bonding, resulting in homogeneous microstructure with dispersion of nano-sized silica particles. However, depending on the range of content of added silane coupling agent (GPTMS), micro-phase separated microstructure in the hybrid could be observed due to insufficient interfacial attraction or possibility of polymerization reaction of epoxide ring in GPTMS. The oxygen barrier property of the mono-layer coated BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) film was examined for the hybrids containing various GPTMS contents. Consequently, it is revealed that GPTMS should be used in an optimum level of content to produce the high barrier EVOH/$SiO_2$ hybrid material with an improved optical transparency and homogeneous phase morphology.

The relation between the phase separated morphologies and their transport properties in the polymer blend membrane for direct methanol fuel cell application was studied. In order to enhance the proton conductivity and reduce the methanol crossover, sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymer, with a sulfonation of 60 mol% (sPAES-60), was blended with nonsulfonated poly(ether sulfone) copolymer (RH-2000, Solvay). Various morphologies were obtained by varying the drying condition and the concentration of the casting solution (10, 15, 20 wt%). The transport properties of proton and methanol molecule through the polymer blend membranes were studied according to the absorbed water. AC impedance spectroscopy was used to measure the proton conductivity and a liquid permeability measuring instrument was designed to measure the methanol permeability. The state of water in the blend membranes was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and was used to correlate the morphology of the membrane with the membrane transport properties.

Polyimides and related polymers, when synthesized from aromatic monomers, have generally rigid chain structures resulting in a low gas permeability. The rigidity of polymer chains reduces the segmental motion of chains and works as a good barrier against gas transport. To overcome the limit of use as materials of gas separation membranes due to low gas permeability, block copolymers with the incorporation of flexible segments like siloxane linkage and ether linkage have been studied. These block copolymers have microphase-separated structures composed of microdomains of flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) or polyether segments and of rigid polyimides segments. In case of rigid-flexible block copolymers, the characteristics of both phases for gas permeation are of great difference. The permeation of gas molecules occurs favorably through microdomains of flexible segments, whereas those of rigid segments hinder the permeation of gas molecules. Accordingly the increase of content of flexible segments in a rigid polymer matrix will increase the gas permeability of the membrane linearly. However, this prediction does not satisfy enough many experimental results and in particular the drastic increase of the permeability is observed in a certain volume fraction. It was proposed that the gas transport mechanism is dominated by diffusion rather than gas solubility in a certain content of flexible phase if solution-diffusion mechanism is adopted. However, the transition from solubility-dependent to diffusion-dependent cannot be explained by the understanding of mechanism itself. Therefore, we consider an effective chemical path which permeable phase can form in a microheterogenous medium, and percolation concept is introduced to describe the permeability transition at near threshold where for the first time a percolation path occurs. The volume fraction of both phases is defined as V$_{\alpha}$ and V$_{\beta}$ in block copolymers, and the volume of $\beta$ phase in the threshold forming geometrically a traversing channel is defined as V$_{\betac}$. The formation mechanism of shortest chemical channel is schematically depicted in Fig. 1.

The separated quasi-one-dimensional ($7{\times}7$) and ($5{\times}5$) phases on vicinal Si(557) surfaces were successfully realized by changing the crystallographic orientation and thermal treatment conditions. A small change in the crystallographic orientation of the Si(557) surface stabilized the quasi-one-dimensional ($5{\times}5$) phase of a (111) facet on vicinal Si(557) surfaces and made it coexist with a quasi-one-dimensional ($7{\times}7$) phase after an optimal thermal treatment, whereas only the quasi-one-dimensional ($7{\times}7$) phase was stable on the Si(557) surface. Interestingly, this causes the (111) terraces with different widths (L) to prefer only one of the $5{\times}5$ (L=12) and $7{\times}7$ (L=9) phases resulting in long-range order of both phases along the step edge direction, which was observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and was supported by first principle calculations. In contrast, the quasi-one-dimensional ($5{\times}5$ and ($7{\times}7$) phases were arranged randomly across the step edge direction. The change of surface morphology of vicinal Si(557) surfaces will be discussed with STM images and theoretical calculations by changing crystallographic cutting angles and thermal treatment conditions.

Polycaprolactone (PCL)과 열가소성 전분(thermoplastic starch (TPS))을 이용하여 여러 조성의 블렌드를 제조하였다. PCL/TPS 조성을 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, 30/70, 20/80, 10/90으로 조절한 블렌드의 기계적 물성, 열적 특성, 흡습성, 퇴비화법에 의한 생분해도, 표면 형상 등을 측정, 분석하였다. 인장강도와 신장률은 TPS 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였으나, 탄성률은 TPS의 함량이 30%까지 증가하였다. TPS는 23$^{\circ}C$와 126$^{\circ}C$에서 2개의 유리전이온도(T$_{g}$ )를 의였으며, 결정의 용융점 (T$_{m}$ )을 나타내는 흡열 곡선은 보이지 않는 것으로 보아 열가소성 전분은 무정형 고분자임을 알 수 있었다. PCL/TPS 블렌드의 T$_{g}$ 와 T$_{m}$ 변화는 PCL과 TPS 사이의 상용성은 없는 것으로 나타났지만, 블렌드 필름의 파단면 형상을 보여주는 전자현미경 사진은 PCL과 TPS는 서로 상분리가 일어나지만 기계적 상용성은 있는 것으로 나타났다. 45일간의 생분해 실험에서 PCL의 생분해도는 44%였고 PCL/TPS 블렌드의 생분해도는 TPS의 함량이 증가함에 따라 생분해도가 증가하였다.
