불포화폴리에스터/폴리비닐아세테이트 semi-IPN의 경화과정 중 경화속도와 상분리 확산속도의 상호관계 속에서 형성되는 상분리 모폴로지를 광산란 및 열분석 장치를 이용하여 연구하였다. 열경화성 고분자의 경화과정 중 열가소성 고분자의 확산에 기인한 물성의 변화를 측정하였고, 상분리를 수반하는 경화과정에서의 활성화에너지의 변화를 Flynn-Wall method를 이용하여 구하였다. 반응에 의하여 나타나는 상분리현상은 경화과정 중 다양한 상분리 거동을 나타내게 되는데, 폴리비닐아세테이트가 10 wt%일 경우에는 반응도중에 상분리가 일어나지 않고 냉각 후 상온에서 nucleation & growth 거동과 유사한 형태로 상분리가 발생하였고, 11.65 wt% 이상에서는 반응도중 spinodal decomposition으로 사료되는 상분리가 발생하였다. 또한 상분리현상이 경화속도에 영향을 미친 것을 활성화에너지의 변화거동으로부터 확인하였으며, 온도변화에 따라 총산란량을 측정하였고 이로부터 확산에 의한 상분리 속도 R(${\beta}_m$)를 비교하였다.

Rheological behavior of thermoset/thermoplastic blends of epoxy/polyethersulphone (PES) was monitored during curing of the epoxy resin. During the isothermal curing of the mixture, a fluctuation in viscosity just before the abrupt viscosity increase was observed. This fluctuation is found to be due to the phase separation of PES from the matrix epoxy resin during the curing. The experimentally observed viscosity fluctuation is simulated with a simple two phase suspension model in terms of the increase in domain size. The viscosity profiles obtained experimentally at different isothermal curing temperatures are in good agreement with the predictions from the simple model taking into account the viscosity change due to the growth of PES domain and the network formation of the epoxy matrix.

In this study, cement/PVDF hollow-fiber hybrid membranes were prepared via a mixed process of diffusion-induced phase separation and hydration. The presence of X-ray diffraction peaks of Ca(OH)₂, an AFt phase, an AFm phase, and C-S-H phase confirmed the hydration reaction. Good hydrophilicity was obtained. The cross-sectional and surface morphologies of the hybrid membranes showed that an asymmetric pore structure was formed. Hydration products comprising parallel plates of Ca(OH)₂, fibrous ettringite AFt, and granulated particles AFm were obtained gradually. For the hybrid membranes cured for different time, the pore-size distribution was similar but the porosity decreased because of blocking of the hydration products. In addition, the water flux decreased with hydration time, and carbon retention was 90% after 5 h of rejection treatment. Almost all the Zn²⁺ ions were adsorbed by the hybrid membrane. The above results proved that the obtained membrane could be alternative as basement membrane for separation application.

PPDI(para-phenylene diisocyanate)와의 반응 압출을 통해 PLA(poly(lactic acid))/PBT(poly(butylene terephthalate)) 블렌드를 제조하였다. DSC, WAXD, 접촉각 측정기 및 esterase를 함유한 완충 용액을 이용하여 결정화 거동과 생분해도를 연구하였다. PLA 고분자 매트릭스에 PBT를 첨가하면 PLA 상의 냉결정화가 일어났고, PBT와 PPDI가 동시에 PLA와의 반응에 참여했을 때 PLA 상의 결정화 속도가 크게 가속되었다. 그러나 PPDI에 의한 사슬 연장은 PLA와 PBT 상의 결정화도와 친수성을 감소시켰다. 결정화도와 친수성은 PLA/PBT 블렌드의 생분해도에 있어 크게 영향을 미치지 못했다. 하지만 PLA/PBT 블렌드에서 PLA와 PBT 사이의 상분리는 효소의 가수분해에 노출될 수 있는 계면적을 증가시켰고, 이로 인해 PLA 상의 생분해 속도를 향상시켰다. 대조적으로 PPDI와의 반응에 의한 PLA와 PBT 매트릭스 사이의 계면접착력의 향상은 효소에 노출된 면적을 감소시켜 PLA 상의 생분해 속도를 떨어뜨렸다.

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.

InP quantum dot (QD) - organosilicon nanocomposites were synthesized and their photoluminescence quenching was mainly investigated because of their applicability to white LEDs (light emitting diodes). The as-synthesized InP QDs which were capped with myristic acid (MA) were incompatible with typical silicone encapsulants. Post ligand exchange the MA with a new ligand, 3-aminopropyldimethylsilane (APDMS), resulted in soluble InP QDs bearing Si-H groups on their surface (InP-APDMS) which allow embedding the QDs into vinyl-functionalized silicones through direct chemical bonding, overcoming the phase separation problem. However, the ligand exchange from MA to APDMS caused a significant decrease in the photoluminescent efficiency which is interpreted by ligand induced surface corrosion relying on theoretical calculations. The InP-APDMS QDs were cross-linked by 1,4-divinyltetramethylsilylethane (DVMSE) molecules via hydrosilylation reaction. As the InP-organosilicon nanocomposite grew, its UV-vis absorbance was increased and at the same time, the PL spectrum was red-shifted and, very interestingly, the PL was quenched gradually. Three PL quenching mechanisms are regarded as strong candidates for the PL quenching of the QD nano-composites, namely the scattering effect, Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and cross-linker tension preventing the QD's surface relaxation.

A high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometric method was developed to determine simultaneously eight marker constituents of Forsythiae fructus, and subsequently applied it to classify its two botanical origins. The marker compounds of Forsythia suspensa were phillyrin, pinoresinol, phillygenin, lariciresinol and forsythiaside; those of F.viridissima were arctiin, arctigenin and matairesinol. Separation of the eight analytes was achieved on a phenyl-hexyl column (150${\times}$2.0 mm i.d., 3 ${\mu}M$) using gradient elution with the mobile phase: (A) 10% acetonitrile in 0.5% acetic acid, (B) 40% aqueous acetonitrile. A few fragment ions specific to the types of lignans, among the product ions generated by collisonally induced dissociation (CID) of molecular ion clusters, such as [M-H]$^-$ or [M+OAc]$^-$ were used not only for fingerprinting analysis but for the quantification of each epimer by using multiple-reaction monitoring mode. It was shown good linearity ($r^2{\geq}$ 0.9998) over the wide range of all analytes; intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD, %) were within 9.14% and the accuracy ranged from 84.3 to 115.1%. The analytical results of 40 drug samples, combined with multivariate statistical analyses - principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) - clearly demonstrated the classification of the test samples according to their botanical origins. This method would provide a practical strategy for assessing the authenticity or quality of the herbal drug.
