A semi-interpenetrating network (IPN) was prepared for a temperature-sensitive polymer system composed of sodium alginate and poly (N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA)-co-ethyl acrylamide (EAAm)). The role of sodium alginate is to provide crosslinked network and that of poly(DMAEMA-co-EAAm) is to provide temperature responsiveness to the polymer system. Semi-IPN gel shows temperature-induced swelling transition at the same temperature of the lower critical solution temperature of poly(DMAEMA-co-EAAm) and its swelling kinetics is manipulated by the control of crosslinking densitv.

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) show promise for improving the lithium ion battery safety. However, due to oxidation of the PEO group and corrosion of the Al current collector, PEO-based SPEs have not previously been effective for use in $LiCoO_2$ (LCO) cathode materials at room temperature. In this paper, a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) PEO-based SPE was applied to examine the performance of a LCO/SPE/Li metal cell at different voltage ranges. The results indicate that the SPE can be applied to LCO-based lithium polymer batteries with high electrochemical performance. By using a carbon-coated aluminum current collector, the Al corrosion was mostly suppressed during cycling, resulting in improvement of the cell cycle stability.

Molded-in-color(MIC) 수지로 사용 가능한 나일론6/이오노머 semi interpenetrating network(IPN)의 물성을 기존 MIC 수지인 나일론6/이오노머 블렌드와 비교하여 살펴보았다. 나일론6/이오노머 semi IPN은 분자 수준의 믹싱인 IPN 구조를 가져 블렌드에 비하여 상대적으로 개선된 homogeneous 형태학적 구조를 가짐에 따라 내스크래칭 특성이 개선됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 semi IPN 구조는 나일론6의 결정화 속도를 감소시키며 용융점도의 증가 그리고 점도의 온도 의존성을 감소시켜 블렌드에 비하여 상대적으로 MIC용 사출 가공 특성이 우수해짐을 예측할 수 있었다.

A semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogel composed of crosslinked chitosan and poly (acrylic acid-co-crotonic acid) was prepared in the presence of glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinker. Fourier-transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy were employed to confirm the structure of the semi-IPN hydrogel. The swelling capacity of hydrogel was shown to be affected by the monomers weight ratio, chitosan content, initiator and GA concentrations. The results also indicated that the semi-IPN hydrogel had different swelling capacity at various pHs. Additionally, the swelling behavior of the hydrogel was investigated in aqueous solutions of NaCl, $CaCl_2$, and $AlCl_3$.

With the aim of developing of pH-sensitive controlled drug release system, a poly(Llysine) (PLL) based cationic semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) has been synthesized. This cationic hydrogel was designed to swell at lower pH and de-swell at higher pH and therefore be applicable for achieving regulated drug release at a specific pH range. In addition to the pH sensitivity, this hydrogel was anticipated to interact with an ionic drug, providing another means to regulate the release rate of ionic drugs. This semi-IPN hydrogel was prepared using a free-radical polymerization method and by crosslinking of the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-methacrylate polymer through the PLL network. The two polymers were penetrated with each other via interpolymer complexation to yield the semi-IPN structures. The PLL hydrogel thus prepared showed dynamic swelling/de-swelling behavior in response to pH change, and such a behavior was influenced by both the concentrations of PLL and PEG-methacrylate. Drug release from this semi-IPN hydrogel was also investigated using a model protein drug, streptokinase. Streptokinase release was found to be dependent on its ionic interaction with the PLL backbones as well as on the swelling of the semi-IPN hydrogel. These results suggest that a PLL semi-IPN hydrogel could potentially be used as a drug delivery platform to modulate drug release by pH-sensitivity and ionic interaction.

The sulfonated poly(styrene-divinylbenzene-acrylonitrile) (ST-DVB-AN) composite polymer electrolyte membrane based on the original PVC film was successfully synthesized to improve oxidative stability using semi-interpenetrated polymer network (semi-IPN). Weight gain ratio after copolymerization was enhanced by the DVB and AN contents, and the sulfonated membranes were characterized in terms of proton conductivity (k), ion exchange capacity (IEC), and water uptake ($W_U$). The effect of DVB content and AN addition were thoroughly investigated by comparing the resulted properties including oxidative stability. The obtained ST-DVB-AN composited semi-IPN membranes showed relatively high proton conductivity and IEC compared with Nafion117, and greatly improved oxidative stability of the synthesized membrane was obtained. This study demonstrated that a semi-interpenetrated sulfonated ST-DVB-AN composited membrane reinforced by PVC polymer network is a promising candidate as an inexpensive polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cell applications.

Poly(ether sulfone) (PES)가 첨가된 비스페놀-A 에폭시 복합재가 그 기계적 특성 및 열 안정성을 증진하기 위하여 제조되었다. 인장강도, 굽힘강도 및 충격강도 등의 기계적 강도가 PES 함량에 따라 의미있게 변화하였다. 특히 그 파괴인성 값은 약 24%의 정도 크게 향상되었다. 적분 열분해 진행온도를 통하여 계산된 PES/에폭시 복합재의 열 안정성은 PES 미첨가 에폭시와 비교하여 12%의 향상을 보였다. 또한 DSC 분석 결과 PES 함량이 증가함에 따라 경화온도와 경화열이 점점 감소함을 확인하였다. 이러한 현상은 에폭시 수지와 선형 PES가 가교구조(semi-interpenetrating polymer networks; semi-IPNs)를 형성하고 잘 분산되었기 때문으로 판단된다.

Triblock copolymers from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and D,L-lactide or $\varepsilon$-carprolactone were synthesized to prepare semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) with chitosan by U.V. irradiation method. Then, solute permeation through these semi-IPNs hydrogels were investigated. The structures of semi-IPNs were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and wide angle X-ray diffractometer (WAXD). Equilibrium water content (EWC) of these hydrogels was in the range of 67-75%. The crystallinity, thermal properties and mechanical properties of semi-IPNs hydrogels were studied. All the hydrogels revealed a remarkable decrease in crystallinity as compared with PEG macromer itself. The tensile strengths of semi-IPNs hydrogels in dry state were rather high, but those of hydrogels in wet state decreased drastically. The permeabilities of solutes of hydrogels followed the swelling behaviors and were regulated by solute size.

본 연구에서는 Dual-Ovenable Packaging 용 폴리에테르이미드의 수분흡수 특성을 개선하기 위하여 가교구조를 형성할 수 있는 말단기를 포함한 이미드 올리고머를 신규 합성하였으며, 이를 이용한 폴리에테르이미드와 가교구조 (semi-IPN, semi-interpenetrating network)를 형성을 통하여 수분흡수와 열적 특성 변화, 그리고 구조적 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 가교 말단기와 용액 이미드화법을 이용하여 두 종류의 이미드 올리고머 6FDA-ODA/APA와 6FDA-MDA/MA를 제조하였으며, 그 특성을 고찰하였다. 또한 이미드 올리고머와 $Ultem^{(R)}$ 혼합물의 semi-IPN 구조를 제조하였으며, 열적 성질, 수분흡수 거동, 그리고 박막의 구조적 특징을 TGA, Thin Film Diffusion Analyzer, 그리고 XRD 분석을 이용하여 해석하였다. 제조한 이미드 올리고머는 말단기의 양을 이용하여 분자량 조절이 가능하였다. 그리고, 온도가 증가함에 따라 가교에 의한 발열반응이 일어나며, 가교 가능한 말단기가 증가할수록 발열량이 증가하였다. $Ultem^{(R)}$과 이미드 올리고머 혼합물에 의한 semi-IPN 구조는 이미드 올리고머의 비율이 증가할수록 5와 10% 질량감소 온도가 상승하였다. 또한, 수분에 대한 친화도가 작은 불소기를 함유하는 이미드 올리고머와 패킹정도의 증가로 인하여 semi-IPN의 확산계수와 수분흡수량이 감소하였다. 이와 같이 열적 성질과 수분에 대한 안정성이 떨어지는 단점을 semi-IPN 구조를 통하여 보완할 수 있었다.
