Alternating polyols of oxymethylene and oxyalkylene were synthesized and used as precursors for thermoplastic poly(ether-ester) elastomers (TPEs). The polyols were synthesized by reacting diols having different methylene units with dichloromethane in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. The number of methylene units in the alkylene oxides was varied from 3 to 6. TPEs were prepared using the polyols as soft segments and poly(butylene terephthalate) units as hard segments. The polyols and TPEs synthesized were characterized using FTIR, NMR, GPC, DSC, and polarized optical microscopy. The polyols showed a profound odd-even effect on the melting (T$_{m}$) and glass transition temperatures (T$_{g}$). Polyols with odd numbers of methylene groups in the alkylene units have higher transition temperatures than polyols with odd number of methylene groups. The tendency is still kept in TPEs, even though the T$_{g}$ of soft segment in TPEs are slightly higher than those of corresponding neat polyols. The T$_{m}$ and T$_{g}$ of soft segments are almost constant in the range of 20 to 60 wt % contents of soft segments. On the other hand, the normalized heat of fusion of hard segment decreased with increasing the content of loft segment.ent.t.ent.

The thermal degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-isophthalate)s (PETIs) is investigated by using isothermal thermogravimetric analysis at the temperature range of 280-31$0^{\circ}C$. The degradation rate of PETIs is increased as the mole ratio of ethylene isophthaloyl (EI) units in PETIs increases. The activation energies for the thermal degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate), PETI(5/5), and poly(ethylene isophthalate) are 33.4, 16.6, and 8.9 kcal/mole, respectively. The degradation rate of PETIs is influenced by their volatile cyclic oligomer components formed during the polymerization and the thermal degradation. It is simulated by the rotational isomeric state model that the content of cyclic dimer in PETIs, which is the most volatile cyclic oligomer component, increases with the EI units in PETIs.

이성분계 rendom copolyeseters인 Poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene terephthalate)(PBS/PBT)를 합성하고 $^1H$ NMR spectroecopy를 이용하여 전 조성범위에 걸쳐 sepuence distribution을 조사하였다. PBS/PBT 공중합물의 융점(Tm)은 공중합물내 dimethyl terephthalate(DMT)의 함량이 증가함에 따라 점차적으로 감소하는 현상을 나타냈고 ST3(DMT 65.8mol%)에서 최저융점(eutetic point) 거동을 보였다. 이러한 공중합물의 융점거동은 공중합물의 몰분율(Xa)보다는 triad fraction으로 계산된 sequence propagation probability(P)에 더욱 의존하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 succinate unit(또는 terephthalate unit)의 함량이 많은 공중합물들은 terephthalate unit(또는 succinate unit)를 완전히 배제시키면서 단지 PBS(또는PBT)만의 결정을 형성하였다.

PP-EVOH(poly(vinyl alchol-co-ethylene)) blends were prepared by the mixing of polypropylene and poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) containing 38mol% of ethylene units (EVOH38) at melt state above PP melting temperature. The materials were characterized by using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and contact angle measurement to detemine the glass transition, meltin, decomposition temperatures, and wettability respectively. From the results, PP-EVOH(poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene)) blends exgibits partial miscibility.

A Pseudomonas sp. strain that is capable of utilizing dicarboxylic acids as a sole carbon source was isolated from activated sludge by using the enrichment culture technique. This organism accumulated polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) with an unusual pattern of monomer units that depends on the carbon sources used. Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) homopolyester was synthesized from glucose or small $C_{-even}$ alkanoic acids, such as butyric acid and hexanoic acid. Accumulation of PHB homopolyester was also observed in the cells grown on $C_{-odd}$ dicarboxylic acids, such as heptanedioic acid and nonanedioic acid as the sole carbon sources. In contrast, a copolyester consisting of 6 mol% 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 94 mol% 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) was produced with a PHA content of as much as 36% of the cellular dry matter. This strain produced PHAs consisting both of the short-chain-length (SCL) and the medium-chain-length (MCL) 3-hydroxyacid units when heptanoic acid to undecanoic acid were fed as the sole carbon sources. Most interestingly, polyester consisting of significant amount of relevant fractions, 3HB, 3HV, and 3-hydroxyheptanoate (3HHp), was accumulated from heptanoic acid. According to solvent fractionation experiments, the polymer produced from heptanoic acid was a blend of poly(3HHp) and of a copolyester of 3HB, 3HV, and 3HHp units. The hexane soluble fractions contained only 3HHp units while the hexane-insoluble fractions contained 3HB and 3HV units with a small amount of 3HHp unit. The copolyester was an elastomer with unusual mechanical properties. The maximum elongation ratio of the copolyester was 460% with an ultimate strength of 10 MPa, which was very different from those of poly(3HB-co-3HV) copolyesters having similar compositions produced from other microorganisms.

A series of copolymers of poly(1,4-phenylenevinylene-co-2,3,5,6-tetramethyl- 1,4-phenylenevinylene), poly(PV-co-TMPV), were prepared in film forms from the precursor polymer films. The sulfonium salt precursor polymers were synthesized by copolymerization of the mixtures of the respective bis(sulfonium salt) monomers. All of the copolymer films could be doped with $FeCl_3$ to have high electrical conductivities and they showed good air stability. The maximum conductivity of the $FeCl_3$-doped films ranged $10^{-3}\;to\;10^2Scm^{-1}$ depending on the composition of the copolymer films. However, these copolymer films could not be doped with iodine. The coplanarity of PV and TMPV units in the main chain appears to be affected by steric effect of the methyl groups in the TMPV units.

We have performed Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies on blends of poly(vinyl phenol) (PVPh) with poly(n-alkylene 2,6-naphthalates) containing alkylene units of different lengths. The results indicate that each poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) and poly(trimethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PTN) blend with PVPh is immiscible or partially miscible, but blends of poly(butylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PBN) with PVPh are miscible over the whole range of compositions in the amorphous state. FTIR spectroscopic analysis confirmed that significant degree of intermolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between the PBN ester carbonyl groups and the PVPh hydroxyl groups. The large difference in the degree of mixing in these blend systems is described in terms of the effect that chain mobility has on the accessibility of the ester carbonyl functional groups toward the hydroxyl groups of PVPh, which in turn impacts the miscibility of these blends.

산에 민감한 작용기를 갖는 tert-butyl methacrylate(tBMA)와 산 증식 기능을 갖는 4-hydroxy-4''p-styrenesulfonyloxyisopropylidene dicyclohexane(HSI)과 4-p-styrenesulfonyloxy-4''-tosyloxyisopropylidene dicyclohexane (STI)를 둘 다 함께 갖고 있는 공중합체를 새로운 고분자 산증식형 포토레지스트로 합성하였다. 산증식형 공중합체인 Poly(HSI-co-tBMA) film과 Poly(STI-co-tBMA) film은 산의 부재 시에는 레지스트 공정 온도에 대하여 충분한 열적 안정성을 나타내었다. Poly(STI-co-tBMA) film의 감도는 tBMA homopolymer에 비교하여 2배 정도 증진되었지만, Poly(HSI-co-tBMA) film은 오히려 2배 정도 감도가 저하되는 결과를 나타내었다. 고분자에 도입한 이러한 산증식 기능을 갖는 그룹의 구조에 따라 광감도 증진 효과가 다르게 나타남을 확인하였다.

1. INTRODUCTION : Polyimides containing siloxane moiety(poly(imide siloxane), or polysiloxaneimide) have been synthesized because of their some merits over polyimide itseft. Polyimides have excellent thermal and mechanical properties but their poor solubility and processibility in their fullly imidized form give disadvantages in applications. Incorporation of siloxane units make it possible to increase solubility and processibility, and also impart impact resistance, low moisture uptake, low dielectric constant, thermo-oxidative resistance, good adhesion properties to substrate and etc.. Incorporation methods of siloxane groups into the polyimide was mainly copolymerization or terpolymerization between oligomeric dimethylsiloxane and aromatic dianhydride. A few methods of introducing siloxane units in functional groups of polyimide was reported. In our laboratory poly(amideimide siloxane) and poly(imide siloxane) were prepared and the study about their thermal kinetics was performed. In separation membrane area, polysiloxaneimides was utilized in pervaporation and gas separation. Polyimides in gas separation show high selectivity and very low permeability, and introduction of siloxane segments increase permeability with low decrease in selectivity. We aimed to introduce silicone segments into poly(amic acid) state and synthesize polymer partially imidized, and also show the gas separation characteristics of the synthesized polymer.
