고분자의 구조설계를 통해서 단상의 블렌드를 제조하기 위해서는 고분자 반복 단위간의 열역학적 정보가 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 블렌드를 구성하는 각 성분간의 상호작용 에너지를 결정하고 이를 이용하여 단상의 블렌드를 제조하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 폴리카보네이트들과 여러 종류의 폴리메타크릴레이트간의 상용성을 조사하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 고분자 구조를 조절하여 단상의 블렌드를 제조하였다. 또한 단상의 블렌드에 포함된 각 고분자간의 상호작용 에너지는 LCST 거동에 의한 상분리 온도와 상태방정식을 이용하여 정량화 하였다.

We simulated the conformational changes of polymethacrylates which have side chains with different lengths (methyl and butyl) by molecular dynamics simulation technique. Bulk states of atactic amorphous polymers relaxed at a higher temperature were generated. The chain behaviors of polymethacrylates were investigated upon varying temperatures. Molecular structural information was then obtained by characterizing radial distribution function(RDF), mean square displacement, self diffusion constant, and Connolly surfaces, among others. The estimated self diffusion constants and RDF values of PMMA and PBMA were found to be in good agreement with our expectation in view of the chain flexibility.

Carbon black(이하 CB로 약함) 표면에 존재하는 각종 작용기(-OH, OC,<-COOH)를 n-butyl lithium을 반응활성화제로 활성화시킨 후 아크릴레이트 및 메타크릴레이르 단량체들을 음이온 그라프트 중합하여 CB-그라프트 생성물을 얻었다. 이 CB-그라프트 생성물을 비용매를 이용한 침전법과 원심분리기를 사용하여 호모폴리머를 분리시켜 반응시간과 온도에 따른 그라프트 효율 등을 구한 결과, CB-polyacrylates의 경우 그라프트율이 20~30% 정도로 낮았지만 CB-polymethacrylate의 경우 150~200% 정도의 매우 높은 그라프트율의 CB- grafted polymer를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 각 반응온도에서 CB와 단량체들의 음이온 중합은 대체로 1~2시간 정도에서 평형상태를 이루었으며, 온도가 높아짐에 따라 전환율과 그라프트율은 약간의 증가를 보였다. 콜로이드 분산성 시험을 한 결과 열건조 전에는 각 호모폴리머의 양용매 중에서 매우 안정한 분산성을 나타냈으며, 열건조 후에도 CB-polymethacrylate의 경우에는 대부분의 polymethacrylate 양용매에 대해 매우 양호한 안정성을 보였다. CB 표면에서의 그라프트 중합체의 확인은 적외선 스펙트럼에 의해 행하였다. Four-probe 방법에 의한 CB-grafted polymer의 저항값 측정에서는 그라프트율이 높을수록 저항값이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Dipentaerythritol 유도체(DPET)와 acrylic acid를 반응하여 6관능 광경화형 변성 폴리아크릴레이트(PA-1)를 제조하였으며, dipentaerythritol 유도체(DPET)에 trimellitic anhydride와 glycidyl methacrylate를 반응시켜 12관능 광경화형 변성 폴리메타아크릴레이트(PA-2)를 제조하고 경화된 물성을 조사하였다. 관능기 수가 증가할수록 중량 평균 분자량은 증가하였으며, TGA (Thermogravimetric Analyzer)로 측정한 UV 경화필름의 열안정성은 (메타)아크릴레이트의 관능기 수가 많을수록 증가하였다. 또한 (메타)아크릴레이트의 관능기 수가 많을수록 경도, 내마모성, 인장강도가 우수하였으며, 내후성 테스트에서는 (메타)아크릴레이트의 관능기 수가 많을수록 황변 지수 값인 yellow index 값이 높아지는 결과를 보여주었다.

Silver salt complex membranes with glassy poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) unexpectedly showed higher propylene permeance than those with rubbery poly(butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) where as neat PMMA is much less permeable to propylene than that of neat PBMA. Such unusual facilitated olefin transport has been systematically investigated by changing the side chain length of polymethacrylates (PMAs) from methyl, ethyl to butyl. The ab initio calculation showed almost the same electron densities of the carbonyl oxygens in the three PMAs, expecting very similar intensity of the interaction between carbonyl oxygen and silver ion. However, the interaction intensity decreases with the length of the alkyl side chain: PMMA > PEMA > PBMA according to wide angle X-ray scattering and FT-Raman spectroscopy. The difference in the interaction intensity may arise from the difference in the hydrophilicity of the three PMAs, as confirmed by the contact angle of water, which determines the concentrations of the ionic constituents of silver salts: free ion, contact ion pair and higher order ionic aggregate. However, propylene solubilities and facilitated propylene transport vary with the side chain length significantly even at the same concentration of the free ion, the most active olefin carrier, suggesting possible difference in the prohibition of the molecular access of propylene to silver ion by the side chains: the steric hindrance. Therefore, it may be concluded that both the hydrophilicity and the steric hindrance associated with the side chain length in the three PMAs are of pivotal importance in determining facilitated olefin transport through polymer/silver salt complex membranes.

The purpose of this study is to investigate a possible contribution of nonspecific esterases, which occur in the oral cavity, to the degradation of ester bonds in polymethacrylates. One of the problems connected with the use of composite resins for restorations is their inadequate resistance to wear. It has been shown that methacrylate hydrolysis can be catalyzed by enzymes and that a carboxylic hydrolase (porcine liver esterase) catalyzed the hydrolysis of several mono - and dimethacrylates. The softening effect on a BISGMA/TEGDMA polymer induced by hydrolase will accelerate the in vivo wear of the polymer. Porcine liver esterase (EC 3.1.1.1) 3.2 mol/L $(NH_4)_2$ $SO_4$ was obtained from Sigma Chemical Company. The esterase activity of one unit is defined as the amount of enzyme capable of hydrolyzing $l{\mu}mol$ ethyl butyrate per min at pH 8.0 AT $25^{\circ}C$. Phosphate buffer, 10mmol/L, pH 7.0, was made by adjustment of a solution of $Na_2HPO_4$ with $H_3PO_4$. Composite resins used in this study are Silux Plus, Z-100, Durafil VS, and Prisma APH. Cylindrical specimens, 14mm in diameter and 3mm thick, of Silux Plus, Z-100, Durafil VS, Prisma APH were polymerized under the celluloid strip. 60 specimens were divided into 2 groups. One group was emersed only in buffer solution, the other group was emersed in buffer and enzyme solution. Silux Plus and Z-100 were divided into 2 subgroups, one subgroup was cured only Visilux 2. And the other subgroup was cured Visilux 2 and Triaid II. Thereafter, specimens were polished to its best achievable surface according to manufacture's directions. The Vickers hardness of the specimens was measured after 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 15, 50 days. The solutions were changed after each measurement. Composite resin surfaces were evaluated for the surface roughness with profilometer (${\alpha}$-step 200, Tencor instruments, USA) after 1 and 50 days. And then surfaces of specimens were pictured with stereosopy after 1 and 50 days. The results were as follows. 1. The surface hardness of Silux plus, durafil VS, and Prisma APH were decreased with time. But, the surface hardness of Z-100 was not decreased. 2. The surface hardness of all composite resins was decreased by esterase. 3. Composite resins, which were light-cured by Visilux 2 and concomitantly baked by oven, showed more hardened surface than light-cured by Visilux 2 only. 4. Significant surface changes were occured in Silux plus after esterase treatment.
