In order to use vesicle as a space of polymerization, monomer and cross-linking agent were put into hydrophobic part of vesicle. The vesicle solution of dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide was formed by ultrasonication. Styrene and divinylbenzene were put into this solution and polymerization was conducted by adding AIBN. The polymer with sphere-shaped structure was obtained by removing all of the surfactant by extraction of ethanol And using methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, this sphere-shaped polymer structure was also formed.

${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$films were prepared by a dip-coating method using the mixed solution of ferric nitrate, ethylene glycol and acethyl acetone. The polymerization effect of the mixed solution was studied by FT-IR spectroscopic analysis, and the decomposition of organic parts and crystallization of the dip-coated film were investigated by FT-IR, XRD and DSC. In addition, AFM and SEM were employed to analyze the surface roughness and the thickness of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$films.

Nanofiltration of aqueous dye solutions was carried out using polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) composite membranes. The PA composite membranes were prepared by the interfacial polymerization of piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on the surface of microporous polysulfone (PSf) ultrafi1tration (UF) membranes. After characterization in terms of their permeation performance and surface ionic property, they were used for the separation of dye solutions such as Direct Red 75, 80, 81, and Direct Yellow 8 and 27. The separation conditions were varied to study the factors affecting on the permeation performance of the membranes: different concentrations of dye solutions, operating temperature and time, and flow rate of a feed solution. The surface property of the membrane, especially its ionic property, as a function of operating time was examined with a zeta-potentiometer and the relationship between the surface chemistry of the membrane and its permeation properties was also studied.

Spherical silica aerogel powders were fabricated via an emulsion polymerization method from a water glass. A water-in-oil emulsion, in which droplets of a silicic acid solution are emulsified with span 80 (surfactant) in n-hexane, was produced by a high power homogenizer. After gelation, the surface of the spherical silica hydrogels was modified using a TMCS (trimethylchlorosilane)/n-hexane solution followed by solvent exchange from water to n-hexane. Hydrophobic silica wet gel droplets were dried at 80 ℃ under ambient pressure. A perfect spherical silica aerogel powder between1 to 12 ㎛ in diameter was obtained and its size can be controlled by mixing speed. The tapping density, pore volume, and BET surface area of the silica aerogel powder were approximately 0.08 g·cm-3, 3.5 ㎤·g-1 and 742 ㎡·g-1, respectively.

The phase-transfer catalyzed radical polymerization of styrene was carried out using tricaprylylmethylammonium chloride as a phase-transfer catalyst in a two-phase system of an aqueous $Na_2S_2O_8$ solution and toluene at $60^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen atmosphere. The initial rate of radical polymerization was expressed as the combined terms of concentrations of quaternary onium cation and peroxydisulfate anion in the aqueous phase rather than the fed concentrations of catalyst and $Na_2S_2O_8$. The observed initial rate of radical polymerization was used to analyze the radical polymerization mechanism with a cycle phase-transfer initiation step in the heterogeneous liquid-liquid system. The viscosity average molecular weight of polystyrene was inversely proportional to concentration of $Na_2S_2O_8$ expressed as $[Q^+]([S_2O{_8}^{2-}]{\alpha}_2)^{1/2}$ derived by the radical polymerization mechanism.

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was used to introduce epoxy groups on the surface of polypropylene (PP) plate, used as a substrate, through plasma-induced graft copolymerization. Emulsion polymerization was applied for graft copolymerization of GMA and was compared with conventional solution polymerization to confirm its effect. Plasma treatment conditions under one atmospheric pressure were fixed as follows; the RF power of 200 W, the treatment time of 30 sec, the Ar gas flow rate of 6 LPM, and the exposure time of treated PP samples in air of 5 min. For graft-copolymerization, GMA concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time was optimized to maximize the grafting degree of GMA. The maximum grafting degree of GMA was obtained at the condition of 12%-GMA concentration, $90^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, and 5 hr-reaction time. Analysis results supported that the emulsion polymerization was more effective than the solution polymerization for grafting more GMAs on the surface of PP plate under the same reaction conditions.

The suspension polymerization of styrene was carried out to obtain the narrow-size distribution of particle by using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as suspension stabilizer according to the degree of hydrolysis and the molecular weight. The stabilizing properties of suspension are also dependent on the interfacial tension of aqueous solution when PVA is added. When the polymerization process was carried out with low hydrolyzed PVA, it gave single, well-defined particles, while high hydrolyzed PVA gave clusters. The size of particle produced in this study ranged between 5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The suspending agent, PVA, influences on the drop size and drop stability, When the molecular weight of PVA is increased, the drop size decreases and the drops become more stable toward coalescence. An increase in the PVA concentration decreases the mean drop size and narrows the drop size distribution.

Stable polyaniline-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid(PANI-DBSA) fully dissolved in toluene was obtained by a direct one-step emulsion polymerization technique. By using the proper molar ratio of APS/aniline monomer and DBSA/aniline monomer, the highest conductivity(7 S/cm) of PANI was obtained. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of PANI confirmed PANI is emeraldine salt form. PANI/styrene polymers (polystyrene and styrene-butadiene copolymer) blends were prepared by mixing PANI solution with polymers in toluene. These blends exhibited the conductivity of 10$\^$-4/-10$\^$-3/ S/cm at 1 wt. % of PANI content. The mechanical property of conducting blend was decreased and TGA thermograms of conducting blends were similar to that of PANI. It had been checked that the flatness of coating layers of conducting blends decreased with increasing conducting components. It was also found that the morphology of blends was setting closer to that of PANI at higher conducting component contents.
