The carboxylated MWNTs were successfully prepared by conventional acid treatment, and their structures were confirmed by FT-IR, Raman and TEM analysis. The water-dispersibility of the surface modified WNTs were good. The COOH-MWNT will show better stability during the emulsion polymerization as compared with Pristine MWNT. In-situ emulsion polymerizations of methyl methacrylate N(MMA) and n-butyl acrylate (BA) were carried out. Aggregate size and dispersion stability of the CNTs in water phase were measured using dynamic light scattering, turbidity, UV-visible spectrophotometer, and electron microscope. In addition, thermo-mechanical properties of MWNT/polymer nanocomposites were investigated.

We investigated solution-processed indium-yttrium-oxide (IYO) TFTs using apoly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) passivation layer. The IYO semiconductor solution was prepared with 0.1 M indium nitrate hydrate and 0.1 M yttrium acetate dehydrate as precursor solutions. The solution-processed IYO TFTs showed good performance: field-effect mobility of $13.13cm^2/Vs$, a threshold voltage of 8.2 V, a subthreshold slope of 0.93 V/dec, and a current on-to-off ratio of $7.2{\times}10^6$. Moreover, the PMMA passivation layers used to protectthe IYO active layer of the TFTs, did so without deteriorating their performance under ambient conditions; their operational stability and electrical properties also improved by decreasing leakage current.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) coated $BaF_2:Er^{3+}$ nanoparticles were prepared via a novel reverse-emulsion polymerization process using methyl methacrylate as continuous phase and water as dispersed phase. Preparation and coating of $BaF_2:Er^{3+}$ particles were processed in a single step. The resulting polymeric composites show the characteristic $Er^{3+}$ luminescence at excitation of 980 nm and may have potential applications in amplified optical networks.

The bulk photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with disilanes such as 1,2-diphenyldisilane and 2-phenyl-1,3-disilapropane was carried out to yield poly(MMA)s containing the corresponding disilyl moiety presumably as an end group. It was found that while the polymerization yields and the polymer molecular weights decreased as the relative disilane concentration increased, the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of SiH IR stretching bands increased with increment of molar ratio of disilane over MMA. The photopolymerization of MMA with 2-phenyl-1,3-disilapropane produced higher-molecular-weight polymer with lower TGA residue yield when compared to the photopolymerization of MMA with 1,2-diphenyldisilane. The disilanes seemed to significantly influence on the photopolymerization as both chain initiation and chain transfer agents.

The bulk thermal and photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) with phenylsilane were performed to produce poly(MMA)s containing phenylsilyl moiety presumably as an end group. It was found for both thermal and photopolymerization that while the polymerization yields and polymer molecular weights decreased as the relative phenylsilane concentration increases, the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of SiH IR stretching bands increased with increasing molar ratio of phenylsilane over MMA. The polymerization yield, molecular weight, and TGA residue yield for the thermal polymerization were higher than those for the photopolymerization. Thus, the phenylsilane seemed to significantly influence on the polymerization as both chain initiation and chain transfer agents. However, an appreciable silane effect was not observed on the thermal and photopolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine, acrylonitrile, styrene, and vinyltrimethoxysilane.

The bulk photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with primary arylsilane (e.g., phenylsilane) and various primary alkylsilanes (e.g., benzylsilane, 3-phenoxyphenyl-1-silabutane, 3-naphthyl-1-silabutane, and 3-chlorophenyl-1-silabutane) was performed to produce poly(MMA)s containing the corresponding silyl moiety as an end group. It was found for the phenylsilane that while the polymerization yields increased and then decreased with a turning point at the molar ratio of MMA:silane=10:1 as the relative silane concentration increases, the polymer molecular weights decreased, and the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of SiH IR stretching bands increased with increment of molar ratio of silane over MMA. The photopolymerization yield of MMA with the arylsilane was found to be higher than those with the alkylsilanes and without the silanes. Thus, the silanes seemed to significantly influence on the photopolymerization as both chain initiation and chain transfer agents.

The bulk photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with para-substituted phenylsilanes such as F-C6H4SiH3 (1), H3C-C6H4SiH3 (2), and H3CO-C6H4SiH3 (3) was performed to produce poly(MMA)s containing the respective silyl moiety as an end group. For all the hydrosilanes, the polymerization yields and the polymer molecular weights decreased, whereas the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of Si-H IR stretching bands increased as the relative silane concentration over MMA increased. The polymerization yields and polymer molecular weights of MMA with 1-3 increased in the order of 3 < 1 < 2. These hydrosilanes influence significantly upon the photopolymerization of MMA as both chain-initiation and chain-transfer agents.

The bulk photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) with bis(silane)s such as 1,4-$C_6H_4(SiH_3)_2$ (1) and 1,4-$C_6H_4(SiH_2Me)_2$ (2) was performed to produce poly(MMA)s possessing the corresponding bis(silyl) moiety as an end group. For the bis(silane)s, while the polymerizaiton yields and the polymer molecular weights decreased, the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of Si-H IR stretching bands increased as the relative bis(silane) concentration over MMA increased. The polymerizaion yield, polymer molecular weight, and TGA residue yield of MMA with 1 were found to be higher than those with 2. The bis(silane)s appears to influence significantly upon the photopolymerization of MMA as both chain initiation and chain transfer agents.

Hard coating was made on a polycarbonate plate using a sol-gel process with a melamine derivative and silicates, and examined as potential substitutes for automobile glass. Methylated poly(melamine-co-formaldehyde), tetraethoxysilane, and phenyltriethoxysilane were used to form a coating solution. The coatings on the polycarbonate plate were deposited using a sol-gel process. Poly(methyl methacrylate) was coated on the surface of polycarbonate in order to improve adhesion property. The optimum conditions and formulation to obtain excellent physical properties of the coating were determined. Adding the melamine derivative to the coating solution, the pencil hardness of the coating was improved. The hardness of a 3H class pencil, excellent abrasion resistance, and surface uniformity were found in the coated polycarbonate surface.

A polymer composite electrolyte of a blend of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a host polymer, the ethylene carbonate as a solvent, and $LiClO_4$ as a salt was studied. The crystallinity of the polymer electrolytes was evaluated using differential scanning calorimeter(DSC). The ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes was measured by frequency response analyzer(FRA) method. The effect of PEO/PMMA blend ratios on the ionic conduction in these electrolytes was investigated. The electrolyte films showed a phase separation due to immiscibility of the PMMA with the PEO. The PMMA-rich phase and the PEO-rich phase were produced during a film casting. The ionic conductivity of blend electrolyte was dependent on the content of PMMA and showed the highest value at 20 wt.%. However, when PMMA content exceeds 20 wt.%, the ionic conductivity was decreased due to the slow ionic transport through the PMMA-rich phase.
