Both A-B-A triblock and multiblock copoly(ester-ether)s consisting of poly(L-Lactide) and poly(oxyethylene-co-oxypropylene) were prepared and characterized. The preparation of the triblock copolymer was done by ring-opening copolymerization of L-lactide with a commercially available telechelic copolyether, Pluronic$\^$TM/(PN) by catalysis of stannous octanoate. The molecular weight and unit composition of the produced copolymers were successfully controlled by changing the L-lactide/PN ratio in feed. However, a high molecular weight copolymer incorporating PN in large amount was not obtained because the molecular weight of the resulting copolymer was limited at a high L-lactide/PN composition. The multiblock copolymer was synthesized by the copolycondensation of oligo(L-lactic acid) prepared by thermal dehydration of L-lactic acid, PN, and dodecanedioic acid as carboxyl/hydroxyl adjusting agent. This polycondensation proceeded by catalysis of stannous oxide to give multiblock copolymers with high molecular weight and wide range of compositions.

Herein, macroporous carbon foams were successfully prepared with phenol and formaldehyde as carbon precursors and an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ($BMIPF_6$), as a pore generator by employing a polymerization-induced phase separation method. During the polycondensation reaction of phenol and formaldehyde, $BMIPF_6$ forms a clustered structure which in turn yields macropores upon carbonization. The morphology, pore structure, electrical conductivity of carbon foams were investigated in terms of the amount of the ionic liquid. The as-prepared macroporous carbon foams had around 100-150 ${\mu}m$-sized pores. More importantly, the electrical conductivity of the carbon foams was linearly improved by the addition of $BMIPF_6$. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first result reporting the possibility of the use of an ionic liquid to prepare porous carbon materials.

The optimal reaction conditions are determined for a PET process, which consists of transesteriflcation, prepolymerization and polycondensation reactors in series. Based on the simulation results of the reactor system, we scrutinize the cause and effect between the reaction conditions and the final properties of the polymer product. We then select the process variables with significant influence on the properties of polymer as control variables and calculate the optimal reaction conditions by iterative dynamic programming (IDP) algorithm with constraints. A new reaction scheme incorporating reactions for by-products as well as three main reactions is considered in the constrained IDP method.

Multiblock copolymer was synthesized by the copolycondensation of oligo(L-lactic acid) prepared by thermal dehydration of L-lactic acid, Pluronic$\^$TM/(PN) and dodecanedioic acid as carboxyl/hydroxyl adjusting agent. This polycondensation proceeded by catalysis of stannous oxide to give the multiblock copolymers with high molecular weight and wide range of compositions. Polymer film was prepared by casting the chloroform solution of the multiblock copolymers having different composition. The multiblock copolymers having relatively high contents of poly(L-lactide) were melt spun into filaments which were subsequently drawn at 60$^{\circ}C$. The copolymer films and the filaments showed an improved flexibility due to the incorporation of the soft segments.

Two aromatic polysulfones, poly(PhC-co-SDA)-2 and poly(TPhC-co-SDA)-2, were synthesized by interfacial polycondensation of phthaoyl chloride(PhC) and terephthaloyl chloride(TPhC) with P, P'-sulfonyldianiline(SDA), respectively. The properties of the aromatic polysulfones synthesized were as follows : inherent viscosity, $0.32{\sim}0.35dL/g$:glass transition temperature, $220{\sim}240^{\circ}C$:tensile strength, $308{\sim}336Kg/cm^2$:and 5% weight loss temperature by TGA thermogram in the air, $500{\sim}530^{\circ}C$. As the result, thermal properties of the synthesized copolymers proved to be excellent.

An intermediate, tetramethylene bis (orthophosphate), was prepared by the esterification of pyrophosphoric acid and l,4-butanediol. Then pyrophosphoric-containing modified polyesters (ATTBs) were synthesized by polycondensation of tetramethylene bis(orthophosphate), trimethylolpropane, adipic acid, and l,4-butanediol. The content of l,4-butanediol was varied from 10 to 20wt% for the reaction. The increase of the amount of l,4-butanediol in the synthesis of ATTBs resulted in increase in average molecular weight and decrease in kinematic viscosity owing to the excellent flowability and reactivity of l,4-butanediol.

Aqueous polyurethane dispersion was synthesized using phosphorus compound which received significant attention for the replacement of halogenated flame retardants. In this study, polyols which have phosphorus moity in their structural unit were synthesized by two-step polycondensation reaction using dimethyl phenylphosphonate, ethylene glycols. adipic acid, and 1,4-butanediol. In the next step, polyurethane dispersion was prepared using these polyols, isophorone diisocyanate with dimethyl propionic acid. The particle size of polyurethane latex was reduced from 347 nm to 240 nm with increasing DMPA content. It was observed that the LOI values of prepared coatings increased from 27% to 35% with increasing phosphorus content.

To improve the fibrillation phenomenon and processibili to of poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) (PPD-T) , a P/E copolyamide was prepared by introducing 4,4'-ethylene dianiline (EDA) into rigid chain backbone. The effects of semi-flexible segment on the liquid crystalline properties were investigated. The EDA, used as a comonomer, was prepared by catalylitic reduction of p,p'-dinitrophenyl , obtained by oxidative coupling of p,p'-dinitrotoluene. Various high molecular weight PIE copolyamides were prepared by low temperature solution polycondensation of terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) with various mixtures of p-phenylene diamine (PPD) and EOA. The PfE copolyamides were completely dissolved in 100% svlfuric acid, and the phase transition of P/E copolyamide-sulfuric acid systems was examined in teams of concentration and temperature. Over the chemical compositions, PIE=911, 812, and 713, solutions of anisotropic single phase were acquired. In particular, the two mixing ratios, 911 and 812, gave a good anisotropic spinning dope.

New light-emitting polyimides were synthesized from the conventional polycondensation of 5,5'-bis(4-aminophenyl)-2,2'bifuryl (PFDA) with fluorinated and non-fluorinated aromatic dianhydrides, providing a good quality of thin films: 6F-PFDA PI and ODPA-PFDA PI. Their UV-visible absorbance and photoluminescent characteristics were investigated. The polymers emit blue and blue-greenish light in a quantum yield of 7.3-14.9%, depending on the polymer backbone.

Electrochemical properties of carbon cryogel electrode for the application of composite electrode materials mixed with metal oxide in supercapacitor have been studied. Carbon cryogels were synthesized by sol-gel polycondensation of resorcinol with form aldehyde, followed by a freeze drying, and then pyrolysis in an inert atmosphere. Physical properties of carbon cryogel were characterized by BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is found that carbon cryogel is amorphous material. The electrochemical properties of carbon cryogel were measured by cyclic voltammetry as a function of concentration of liquid electrolyte, galvanostatic charge-discharge with different scan rates and electrochemical impedance measurements. The result of cyclic voltammetry indicated that the specific capacitance value of a carbon cryogel electrode was approximately 150.2 F/g (at 5 mV/s in 6M KOH electrolyte).
