The grafting of methacrylonitrile(MAN) onto Kevlar 49 filament surface was carried out by anionic polymerization using sodium methylsulfinylcarbanion formed from sodium hydride and dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO). The effects of reaction conditions on the grafting percentage(GP) and on the tensile strength of the fiber were investgated. GP marktedly increased with increasing metalation time, and NaH concentration, polymerization temperature and time. The tensile strength of fiber decrased with increasing metalation time, and NaH concentration, polymerization temperature and time. The optimum conditions to increase over 40% of GP with below 10% reduction rate of tensile strength of fiber : NaH concentration ; 30.6 mmol/l/0.5g Kevlar, metalation time : 10min, polymerization tempera- ture : 5$0^{\circ}C$, polymerization time: 20 sec, monomer concentration : 1.12mol/l/0.5g Kevlar.

The effect of plasma polymerization conditions on the structure of the plasma polymerized styrene were investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared Ray(FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Gel Permeation Chromatography(GPC). Plasma polymerized thin film was prepared using an interelectrode inductively coupled gas-flow-type reactor. We show that polymerization parameters of thin film affect sensitivity and etching resistance of plasma polymerized styrene is 1.41~3.93, and deposition rate of that are 32~383[.angs./min] with discharge power. Swelling and etching resistance becomes more improved with increasing discharge power during plasma polymerization. (author). 11 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab.

The polymerization rate, chemical structure and optical properties of tetramethyldisiloxane(TMS) have been investigated. The rate of polymerization of TMS films increased nonlinearly with the discharge power. The refractive indices of thin films varied from 1.40 to 1.43 and they also increased with increasing discharge power. Also, the extinction coefficient was about 0.2 and is independent of photon energy.

The polymerization shrinkage of composite resins is an important drawback although the composites have many advantages-more esthetic and conservative than metallic restoratives etc. The purposes of this research were to develop a new measurement method and to manufacture an instrument that can measure the initial dynamic volumetric shrinkage of composite resins during polymerization. The instrument was basically an electromagnetic balance that constructed with a force transducer using position sensitive photo detector(PSPD) and a negative feedback servo amplifier of proportional-derivative(PD) controller. The volumetric change of composites during polymerization was detected continuously as buoyancy change in distilled water by means of Archimedes's principle. It was converted to continuous electrical voltage signal in real time. The signal was properly conditioned and filtered and then it was stored in computer by a data acquisition(DAQ) board. By using this electronic instrument. the dynamic patterns of the polymerization shrinkage of eight commercial(Z-100, DenFil, AeliteFil, Z-250, P-60, SureFil, Synergy compact, and Tetric ceram) composite resins were measured and compared. The results were as follows. 1. From this project of developing instrument, the ability has been achieved that can acquire and process data of electrical signal transformed from various physical phenomenon by using temperature, displacement. photo. and force transducer. As a consequence, the instrumentation and measurement system used to analyze the physical characteristics of various dental materials in dental research field can be designed, manufactured and implemented in lab. 2. This instrument has some advantages. It was insensible to temperature change and could measure true dynamic volumetric shrinkage in real time without complicated process. It showed accuracy and high precision results with small standard deviation. 3. The polymerization shrinkage of composites was significantly different between brands and ranged from 2.47％ to 3.89％, The order of polymerization shrinkage was as follows, in order of increasing shrinkage, SureFil, P60, Z250, Z100, Synergy compact. DenFil, Tetric ceram, and AeliteFil. 4. The polymerization shrinkage rate per unit time, dVol％/dt, showed that the instrument can provide an indirect research method for polymerization reaction kinetics.

Polymerization rate, transmittance, refractive index, and extinction coefficient of plasma polymerized tetramethydisiloxane (TMD) have been investigated. The rate of polymerization of TMD films increased nonlinearly with the discharge lower. The refractive indices of thin films varied from 1.40 to 1.43 and they also increased with increasing discharge power. Also, the extinction coefficient was about 0.2 and is independent of photon energy.

As inverstigating the influence of monomers and photoinitiator in the polymerization rate of photopolymerization by using IR spectroscopy, photopolymerizations initiated by ultraviolet radiation are characterized by the presence of an autoacceleration in the polymerization rate as the reaction proceeds. The conversion for the end of the autoacceleration varies considerably depending on the monomer and reaction condition which determines coil size and viscosity. In UV curable systems, the autoacceleration begins at only a few percent conversion and continues to 40% in HEA solution and 60% conversion in EHA solution. The polymerization ate in HEA solution increased as follow; DMHA > HCPK > DMPA and could be explained by the interaction between the initiating radical and HEA monomer and the size of the photodissociated radical of initiator. But the tendency of autoacceleration in EHA solution is almost independent on initiator.

Chain propagation and chain transfer in anionic polymerization of hexafluoropropylene oxide were investigated under various reaction conditions such as the stabilization of reaction temperature, the amount of hexafluoropropylene solvent, and the feeding rate of hexafluoropropylene oxide monomer. Anionic initiator for the polymerization was synthesized from cesium fluoride and hexafluoropropylene oxide in tetraethyleneglycol dimethylether. It was possible to obtain a high molecular weight poly(HFPO) ($M_w$ 14800) using the anionic initiator in conditions of stabilized reaction temperature, and optimized addition of solvent and monomer feeding (HFP/initiator mole ratio=31.5 and HFPO feeding rate=11.67 g/hr). Otherwise, chain transfer reaction in anionic polymerization was increased. From the results of molecular weight in various reaction conditions, it was found that chain propagation and chain transfer in anionic polymerization of HFPO were very sensitive to reaction conditions.

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) initiated by cobalt (II) nitrate in tetrahydrofuran (THF) has been studied. From the results of kinetic studies, the overall polymerization rate (Rp) could be expressed as following; $R_p=k\;[cobalt(Ⅱ)\;nitrate]^{0.5}\;[MMA]^{1.5}$ By considering the effects of chelating agent on the polymerization rate, it could be assumed that the monomer, MMA might form a coordination complex with cobalt(II) nitrate. In the presence of radical inhibitor hydroquinone, the inhibition time was observed. And the apparent overall activation energy was calculated to be 14.0 kcal/mole.

N-Vinylcarbazole (VCZ) was solution-polymerized in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 25, 35, and $45^{\circ}C$ using a room temperature initiator, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (ADMVN); the effects of amount of solvent, polymerization temperature, and initiator concentration were investigated. On the whole, the experimental results corresponded to predicted ones. Room polymerization temperature using ADMVN proved to be successful in obtaining poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVCZ) of high molecular weight with small temperature rise during polymerization, nevertheless of free radical polymerization by azoinitiator. The polymerization rate of VCZ in THF was proportional to the 0.47 power of ADMVN concentration. The molecular weight was higher and the molecular weight distribution was narrower with PVCZ polymerized at lower temperatures. For PVCZ prepared in THF at $25^{\circ}C$ using ADMVN concentration of 0.00005 mol/mol of VCZ, weight-average molecular weight of 221,000 was obtained, with polydispersity index of 2.05, and degree of lightness converged to about 99%.
