The fact that a reaction between organothioenamine phosphonate and styrene oxide produces a derivative of cyclopropane has been proved by structural identification. This suggests that an anionic oxygen atom from the ring opening of the styrene oxide by nucleophilic attack of thioenamine phosphonate links to the phosphorous atom to from a betaine as an intermediate which is followed by cleavage of the weak P-C bond. The dextrorotatory optical activity of the product showed that the reaction was under the control of steric stability of the benzyl carbon in styrene which leads to the product through a sterically stable pathway.

The thermal decomposition of the paper sludge with poly (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) was using a thermal analysis techniques in the stream of nitrogen gas of 30ml/min at various heating rates from 4 to $20^{\circ}C/min$. The mathmatical, derivative and integral method were used to obtain values of activation energy of decomposition reaction. 1. The values of activation energy evaluated by derivative and Intergral method were consistent with each other very well. 2. The maximum value of heat of decomposition evaluated by DSC method was 10.120cal/g at weight ratio of paper sludge/ABS=20/80. 3. The thermogravimetric trace curve agreed with the theoretical equation.

To improve oxidative stability of non-fluorinated styrene-based polymer electrolyte membranes, copolymerized membranes were prepared using styrene derivatives such as p-methylstyrene, t-butylstyrene, and ${\alpha}-methylstyrene$ by monomer sorption method. Prepared membrane was characterized by measurement of weight gain ratio, water content, ion-exchange capacity, proton conductivity, and oxidative stability under the accelerated condition. It was found that each step of monomer sorption method including sorption, polymerization and sulfonation could be affected by the properties and the structures of styrenederivatives. Due to difficulty of polymerization, ${\alpha}$-methylstyrene was copolymerized with styrene or p-methylstyrene. Prepared membrane using ${\alpha}-methylstyrene$ and styrene showed higher performance and stability comparing to copolymerized membrane with styrene. However, copolymerized membranes with ${\alpha}-methylstyrene$ did not showed much improved oxidative stability comparing to styrene membrane due to their lower molecular weight. The t-butylstyrene membrane showed a low performance due to substituted bulky-butyl group which prevents sorption and sulfonation reaction. However, copolymerized t-butylstyrene membranes with p-methylstyrene showed good performance and much improved stability than the styrene membranes.

We conducted investigation on the hybridization of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS) with graphene derivative (G-PSS), which has been prepared by wrapping reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with PSS. In situ polymerization of PEDOT/PSS in the presence of G-PSS afforded the PEDOT/PSS and graphene hybrid (GP). The analysis of XPS, IR and Raman spectroscopies for GP showed that PEDOT/PSS was successfully synthesized and hybridized with graphene. Compared to the G-PSS, GP showed an enhanced electrical conductivity of $4.46{\times}10^2S/m$ with a good wter-dispersity.

Benzoyl styrene derivatives were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It was measured that nucleophilic addition of thiourea for benzoyl styrene made use of ultraviolet spectrophotometery at a wide pH $1.0{\sim}13.0$ range in 5% $dioxane-H_2O$ at $40^{\circ}C$. On the basis of general base catalysis, substitutent effect, and confirmation of addtion reaction product, the nucleophilic addtion kinetics of thiourea for benzoylstyrene derivatives were measured by pH change. It maybe concluded that a part was unrelated to pH and another part was in proportion to concentration of hydroxide ion : Above pH 10.0. It was in propotion to concentration of hydroxide ion, a part having no concern with pH was added to the neutral thiourea molecule. From the results of measurement the reaction rate and there findings, nucleophilic addition of thiourea to benzoylstyrene derivative was proposed a fitting mechanism.

On mixing of 1,3-dehydroadamantane, 1, with electron-deficient vinyl monomers such as acrylonitrile and methyl acrylate in THF at r.t. in the absence of any initiator, the copolymerization spontaneously proceeded to give alternating copolymers in 28-88 % yield. By contrast, no reaction of 1 occurred, when isobutyl vinyl ether or styrene was mixed under the similar conditions. These contrastive results indicate the high electron density of a central s-bond in a strained [3.3.1]propellane derivative, 1. Alternating sequences of the resulting copolymers were characterized by NMR and MALDI-TOF-MS measurements. DSC and TGA measurements revealed the high thermal stability of the alternating copolymers containing bulky and stiff adamantane skeletons.

In this study polystyrene derivative, VBCE, having a cyclic carbonate was synthesized by Williamson reaction and polymerized to poly(VBCE) successfully in an usual polymerization conditions. The obtained polymer was blended with PEGMA and the effect of composition on the ionic conductivity was investigated. Interestingly, the ionic conductivity was decreased from $4.2{\times}10^{-5}S\;cm^{-1}$ to $3.93{\times}10^{-6}S\;cm^{-1}$ with the poly(VBCE) contents of 5.8mol%. From the DSC study, it was found that the $T_g$ of the blend was increased from $-50^{\circ}C$ to $-21^{\circ}C$ by the addition of poly(VBCE). Therefore, it is believed that the presence of a polar cyclic carbonate makes polymer matrix harder and it is necessary to design new structures less hindered the mobility of the matrix.

In this study, homo and copolymers of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl methacrylate(TMA) and synthesized styrene derivative, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-4-vinylbenzyl ether(TVBE) were obtained by radical polymerization and oxidized to produce corresponding polymer radicals. The polymer radicals were mixed with carbon black, binders and coated onto Al current collector. The battery performance is then characterized by fabricating coin cells. As results, the polystyrene based organic radicals show lower oxidize efficiency and discharge capacity than methacrylate based one. However, the former shows better capacities from discharge experiments performed at $60^{\circ}C$ which suggests a possible way to overcome the high temperature fade out of performance in usual organic radical batteries. Also as expected, an excellent C-rate performance is observed in all the cells consisted of organic polymer radicals.

A new simple, rapid and sensitive gas chromatographic technique for the determination of bisphenol-A in can materials, which is the major material of epoxy resin and polycarbonate polymer, is proposed. This method is characterised by derivatization of the bisphenol-A with a acylating reagent forming the acetate derivative to optimize the chromatographic property. The detection of bisphenol-A is performed based on GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry). Several beverages were analyzed by the proposed method for the determination of bisphenol-A Bisphenol-A was assayed the range of $0.11{\sim}11.40{\mu}g/can$ from the can materials.
