Resorcinol formaldehyde resins are synthesized by polycondensation of resorcinol with formal-dehyde and have various structures by the condensation type. The influence of polycondensation type on the stability and structure of the resorcinol formaldehyde resin was studied by molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics. The resins formed by 2,6-polycondensation and 4,6-polycondensationwith head-to-tail orientations have structures of intramolecular hydrogen bonds between 1-hydroxyl groups and between outer hydroxyl groups of the adjacent resorcinols, respectively. The resin formed by 2,6-polycon-densation with head-to-head orientation has a structure that inner hydroxyl groups cluster in the center of the molecule. Energetical stability of the resin is affected by both the intramolecular hydrogen bonds and the steric' hindrance by phenyl group.

Environmental problems from petroleum-based plastic wastes have been rapidly increasing in recent years. The alternative solution is focus on the development of environmental friendly plastic derived from renewable resource. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer synthesized from biomass having potential to replace the petroleum-based non-degradable polymers utilizations. PLA can be synthesized by two methods: (1) ring-opening of lactide intermediate and (2) direct polycondensation of lactic acid processes. The latter process has advantages on high yields and high purity of polymer products, materials handling and ease of process treatments. The polymerization process of PLA synthesis has been widely studied in a laboratory scale. However, the mass scale production using direct polycondensation of lactic acid has not been reported. We have investigated the kinetics and scale-up process of direct polycondensation method to produce PLA in a pilot scale. The order of reaction is 2 and activation energy of lactic acid to lactic acid oligomers is 61.58 kJ/mol. The pre-polymer was further polymerized in a solid state polymerization (SSP) process. The synthesized PLA from both the laboratory and pilot scales show the comparable properties such as melting temperature and molecular weight. The appearance of synthesized PLA is yellow-white solid powder.

Under irradiation in a microwave oven, six novel poly(amide-imide)s containing tetrahydropyrimidinone, tetrahydro-2-thioxopyrimidine moieties and trimellitic rings in their main chains were synthesized through the polycondensation reaction of N,N'-(4,4'-diphenylether)bis(trimellitimide) diacid chloride with six different derivatives of tetrahydropyrimidinone and tetrahydro-2-thioxopyrimidine in the presence of a small amount of a polar organic medium, such as o-cresol. The polycondensation proceeded rapidly and completed within 7-9 min, producing a series of new poly(amide-imide)s in high yield that showed inherent viscosities in the range 0.33-0.52 dL/g. These poly(amide-imide)s were characterized by elemental analysis, viscosity measurement, thermal gravimetric analysis, solubility test, and FT-IR spectroscopy. All of the polymers were soluble at room temperature in polar solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.

We have developed facile and rapid polycondensation reactions of N-trimellitylimido-L-leucine diacid chloride 1 with eight different derivatives of hydantoin compounds 2a-h, in the presence of a small amount of a polar organic medium, such as Ο-cresol, by using a domestic microwave oven. The polycondensation reactions proceeded rapidly-they were complete within 7-9 min-to produce a series of novel optically active poly(amide-imide)s (3a-h) in high yield with inherent viscosities of 0.33-0.51 dL/g. We characterized the resulting poly(amide-imide)s by elemental analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis (DSC, TGA, and DTG), and FTIR spectroscopy, and by measuring their viscosities, specific rotations, and solubilities. All of the polymers were soluble at room temperature in polar solvents such as N ,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.

The polycondensations of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) naphthalate were kinetically investigated in the presence of various metallic compounds as catalysts at 295 ℃. The effect of the catalyst nature in the polycondensation has been studied. The order of catalytic activity on the formation of poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) was found to be related to the stability constants which are indicated in an index of the catalytic activity.

폴리(에틸렌 나프탈레이트)의 축중합 반응은 가역반응이므로 부반응 물질인 에틸렌 글라이콜의 신속한 제거가 높은 분자량의 제품을 얻는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 폴리(에틸렌 나프탈레이트)올리고머로 박막을 제조하여 실제 반응기와 동일한 조건 하에서 (28$0^{\circ}C$, <0.1mmHg) 반응시켜 이 때 일어나는 물질 전달 현상을 관찰하고자 하였다. 여러 가치 두께의 박막을 제조하여 반응 실험한 결과 두께가 0.025cm 이하의 영역에서는 박막에서의 물질 전달 저항이 크지 않아 총괄 반응 속도에 영향을 미치지 않음을 관찰하였다. 물질 전달 모델 및 확산 모델을 사용하여 반응 결과를 예측한 결과 두 모델 모두 실험 결과를 잘 예측하였으나 확산 모델의 경우 중합도가 낮은 영역에서 물질 전달 모델에 비해 반응이 더 빨리 진행되는 경향을 보였다. 두 모델을 이용하여 물질 전달 관련 계수를 예측한 결과 폴리(에틸렌 나프탈레이트)에서의 확산 계수는 4.7${\times}$$10^{-6}$$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec, 물질 전달 계수는 1.4${\times}$$10^{-4}$cm/sce로 폴리(에틸렌 테레프탈레이트) 경우보다 작은 값을 보였다.

Antimony trioxide 촉매를 사용하여 241 - $260^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 bishydroxyethyl naphthalate (BHEN)의 축중합 반응에 관한 속도론적 연구를 수행하였다. 반응은 회분식 반응기에서 진행되었고 반응물의 농도는 high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)를 사용하여 측정하였다. 분자종 모델을 적용하여 구한 반응속도상수의 정반응 및 역반응 활성화 에너지 값은 각각 19.7과 31.4 kcal/mole 이었으며, 평형상수는 1.4-2.0으로 PET 축중합 반응의 경우보다 큰 값을 가지며 온도에 따라 어느 정도 변하였다. 말단기인 hydroxyethyl기의 반응속도는 분자의 크기에 관계없이 일정함을 Flory, 모델식으로부터 확인할 수 있었다. 관능기 모델을 적용한 결과 정반응과 역반응 활성화 에너지 길기 큰 차이가 없었으며, 평형상수는 1.4정도의 값을 가졌다. 관능기 모델로부터 구한 속도상수 값은 분자종 모델로부터 구한 값의 3-4배로서 두 모델이 모두 반응계를 잘 설명하였다. 제안된 분자종 모델이 10개의 분자종을 모두 예측해야 하는 어려움에도 불구하고 실험 결과와 잘 맞음을 알 수 있었다.

We have successfully synthesized relatively monodisperse and cross-linked melamine-formaldehyde (M-F) microspheres by dispersed polycondensation and subsequent pH adjustment with serum replacement cleaning. The average particle sizes (equation omitted): weight-average and (equation omitted) : number-average), the polydispersity index (equation omitted), the number of particles N$\_$p/ and the gel content of the M-F microspheres were observed by varying the pH, the surfactant concentration, and the polymerization temperature. We observed that both the pH and the polymerization temperature were predominant factors in determining (equation omitted) and N$\_$p/, but the effect that the temperature and pH had on the gel content ( ＞ 94% for all samples) was negligible. The exponents of the slopes of plots of N$\_$p/ versus pH and surfactant concentration were －10 and 0.6, respectively. Particle nucleation and growth were achieved within short periods; the incessant coagulation occurred even in the presence of surfactants.
