In this work, we focus on the tumbling dynamics of rod-like and semi-flexible polymers in mixed flows, which vary from simple shear to pure rotation. By employing a bead-rod model, the tumbling pathways and periods are examined with a focus on the angular distribution of their orientation. Under the mixed flows, the tumbling dynamics agreed well with earlier studies and confirmed the predicted scaling laws. We found that the angular distribution deviates from that of shear flow as the flow type approaches pure rotation. Finally, we investigated the angular distribution of $\lambda$-DNA in a shear flow and found that the present numerical simulations were in quantitative agreement with the previous experimental data.

주사슬에 메소젠기와 유연격자로써 옥타메틸렌기를 포함하고 있는 반 유연성 액정중합체가 용액 중축합반응에 의하여 합성되었다. 중합체의 메소젠기는 에스터와 케톤, 에터, 설파이드, 메틸렌, 설폰, 또는 아이소프로필리덴기들에 의해 결합된 4개의 방향족고리로 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는, 메소젠기의 가운데 연결기가 중합체의 물성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 합성된 중합체의 구조와 성질은 $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR, DSC, TGA, XRD, POM에 의하여 조사되었으며, 그 결과에 의하면, 굽은 구조의 연결기를 가지고 있는 중합체들은 낮은 열전이온도, 좁은 액정상 온도구간, 약한 액정성, 그리고 유기용매에 대한 좋은 용해성을 보여 주었고, 벌크한 연결기를 갖는 중합체들은 무정형 중합체로서 높은 유리전이온도($T_g$)를 나타내었다.

Organic semi-conductive materials have characteristics such as the advantages of easy formability, low-cost and diversity along with moderate semi-conductive properties. In this paper, we developed a flexible organic-inorganic hybrid solar cell fiber. First, we made a solar cell on the glass and attached the solar cell on the glass fiber similarly. In the latter case, thermal deposition method was employed in order to effectively apply ITO onto fiber surface. The amount of ITO was controlled by varying the temperature from 25, 150 to $300^{\circ}C$. Optimum result was obtained at $150^{\circ}C$ where maximize the deposition amount without significant decomposition of ITO. Despite of maximum open circuit voltage of 0.39V, the resulting current was quite unstable and weak, limiting realistic applications. It was, however, concluded that the flexible solar cell fiber developed showed a possibility of low-weight application from functional clothing for military to space suit mainly due to flexibility and thus wear ability.

The rheological properties of Parmax 1200, a new semi-flexible substituted polyphenylene, were investigated. The reported high stiffness of the material was confirmed. The rheological measurements proved that, despite the very high stiffness of the molecules, Parmax showed shear thinning and that, although the viscosity is very high and the melt is highly elastic, the polymer can be extruded in the melt. A worm-like morphology was detected in AFM and TEM. This morphology could explain the reported mechanical and rheological behaviour. The compatibility with flexible chain polymers (e.g. polycarbonate) could also be explained by the worm-like morphology.

Filamentous actin (F-actin) is a two stranded long helix that performs structural function in eukaryotic cells. F-actin had been assembled from Alexa-labeled G-actin and had been confined in microchannel. The fluctuation of single filaments was observed by fluorescence optical microscopy. We measured Tangent-tangent Correlation Function G(s) (where s is the distance along the contour of the chain), which tells us the confining wall effect of wormlike semi-flexible polymers as well as the flexural rigidity, such as persistence length.

셀룰로오스 아밀로오스 키토산, 키틴, 알긴산, 풀루란 또는 아밀로펙틴을 6- [4- (4'- (니트로페닐아조)펜옥시)]펜타노일 클로라이드(NA6C)와 반응시켜 전치환 또는 거의 전치환 6- [4- (4'- (니트로페닐아조)펜옥시카보닐)] 펜타노화 다당류 유도체들을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정의 거동들을 검토하였다. NA6C의 경우와 같이, 모든 다당류 유도체들은 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하였다. 이러한 사실은 다당류 유도체들의 액정 구조는 다당류 골격에 의해 결정되는 것이 아니고 mesogenic 곁사슬 그룹들에 의해 결정됨을 시사한다. 이것이 셀룰로오스 유도체들을 제외한 다당류 유도체들이 열방성 네마틱 상을 형성한다고 하는 최초의 보고이다. 다당류 유도체들에 있어서 관찰되는 네마틱 상들의 열적 안정성과 질서도는 아조벤젠 그룹들을 유연한 스페이서를 통하여 유연한 혹은 강직한 골격들에 도입시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과들과 현저히 다르다. 이들의 결과를 주사슬과 곁사슬의 배열 그리고 주사슬의 유연성의 차이와 관련하에서 검토하였다.

The interaction between hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (hmHEC), containing approximately 1 wt% side-alkyl chains of $C_{16}$, and an anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactant was investigated. For a semi-dilute solution of 0.5 wt% hmHEC, the previously observed behaviour of a maximum in solution viscosity at intermediate SDS concentrations, followed by a drop at higher SDS concentrations, until above the cmc of surfactant when the solution resembles that of the unsubstituted polymer, was confirmed. Additionally, a two-phase region containing a hydrogel phase and a water-like supernatant was found at low SDS concentrations up to 0.2 wt%, a concentration which is akin to the critical association concentration, cac, of SDS in the presence of hmHEC. Above this concentration, SDS molecules bind strongly to form mixed micellar aggregates with the polymer alkyl side-chains, thus strengthening the network junctions, resulting in the observed increase in viscosity and elastic modulus of the solution. The shear behaviour of this polymer-surfactant complex during steady and step stress experiments was examined In great detail. Between SDS concentrations of 0.2 and 0.25 wt%, the shear viscosity of the hmHEC-polymer complex network undergoes shear-induced thickening, followed by a two-stage shear-induced fracture or break-up of the network. The thickening is thought to be due to structural rearrangement, causing the network of flexible polymers to expand, enabling some polymer hydrophobic groups to be converted from intra- to inter-chain associations. At higher applied stress, a partial local break-up of the network occurs, while at even higher stress, above the critical or network yield stress, a complete fracture of the network into small microgel-like units, Is believed to occur. This second network rupture is progressive with time of shear and no steady state in viscosity was observed even after 300 s. The structure which was reformed after the cessation of shear is found to be significantly different from the original state.
