폴리스티렌을 acetyl sulfate 시약을 사용하여 술폰화시킨 후 다공성 양이온교환 막으로 제조하였다. 제조된 막의 특성을 분석한 결과 다공성의 형태를 가졌음을 확인할 수 있었고, IR 분석결과 술폰산기의 도입을 확인할 수 있었다. 전체적으로 반응물 중 황산의 양이 증가할수록 이온교환능력이 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었고, 전기투석 공정에 적용가능성을 판단한 결과 양이온에 대한 선택성과 음이온에 대한 배제성을 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

Using gravimetry, we have studied the diffusion of water into sulfonated polystyrene ionomers. Diffusion coefficients were calculated from Fick's equation. The water sorption was found to be dependent on the ion content (3.6-11 mol％) and the nature of the cation (H, Na, Li, or Zn). The sorption kinetics indicates a slight deviation from Fickian behavior. We used the analytical solution of Fick's equation to evaluate the concentration profiles, which are in good agreement with the experimental results.

We report an important and useful method for preparing ${\omega}-sulfonated$ polystyrene-stabilized cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoclusters. The ${\omega}-sulfonated$ polystyrene $(M_n\;=\;5000\;g/mol)$ was prepared successfully through chain-end sulfonation of poly(styryl)lithium using 1,3-propanesultone; the resulting polymer was used successfully as a polymeric stabilizing agent for the preparation of semiconductor CdS nanoclusters by reduction of cadmium acetate in a mixture of toluene and methanol (9:1, v/v). The nanoclusters that formed were characterized by a combination of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UVN is spectroscopic analysis. The ${\omega}-sulfonated$ polystyrene-stabilized CdS nanoclusters synthesized in this study exhibited the cubic phase (zinc-blende phase) structure in the range of 2-8 nm.

The effect of thermal conditions on the clustering of sulfonated polystyrene ionomers was investigated. It was found that when the zinc-sulfonated ionomer was dried above a matrix glass transition temperature (Tg), the cluster Tg was observed at ca. 310 ℃, which is ca. 45 ℃ higher than that for the ionomer dried below the matrix Tg. This difference is believed to be the result of the increase in chain mobility at higher temperatures, which improves the multiplet formation and clustering; thus the cluster Tg increases. In the lithium ionomer case, however, the increase in the cluster Tg was ca. 6 ℃ upon annealing. From the results, it was suggested that in the zinc ionomer, the zinc ion is soft and divalent, which results in weaker interactions in multiplets, and thus decreases the stability of the multiplets. Therefore, the thermal effect is more significant for the zinc ionomers than for the lithium ionomers.

Polycarbonate (PC)/sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) ionomer/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by a solution intercalation process using the SPS ionomer as a compatibilizer. The effect of an organoclay on the melt crystallization behavior of the ionomer compatibilized PC were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The melt crystallization behavior of PC was dependent on the extent of organoclay dispersion. The effect of the ionomer loading and cation size on intercalation/exfoliation efficiency of the organoclay in PC/SPS ionomer matrix was also studied using wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Dispersion of the organically modified clay in the polymer matrix improved with increasing ionomer compatibilizer loadings and cation size. The SPS ionomer compatibilized PC/organoclay nanocomposite showed enhanced melt crystallization compared to the SPS ionomer/PC blend. Well dispersed organoclay nanocomposites showed better crystallization than the poorly dispersed clay nanocomposites. These nanocomposites also showed better thermal stability than the SPS ionomer/PC blend.

술폰화 폴리스티렌/테플론(Polystyrene/Teflon, 이하 'PS/PTFE'로 칭함) 복합막을 제조하여 직접 메탄을 연료전지용 막에 관한 특성을 조사하였다. 복합막은 다음과 같이 제조되었다. 먼저 다공성 테플론 필름에 styrene 단량체와 가교제인 diviny benzene (이하 'DVB'로 칭함)의 비율을 달리하면서, 개시제 2,2'-azobis(isobutylonitlie) (AIBN)와 함께 함침시킨 후 열을 가해 폴리스티렌/테플론 복합막을 제조하였다. 그 후 술폰화제인 chlorosulfonic acid와 1,2-dichloroethane혼합용액을 사용하여 술폰화된 복합막을 제조하였다. 제조된 복합막의 술폰화 전과 후의 물리화학적 구조는 ATR-FTIR, SEM, THF 및 물에 대한 함유율, 이들의 이온교환량을 통하여 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 스티렌/디비닐벤젠의 비율에 따라 복합막이 성공적으로 제조되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 가교제인 디비닐벤젠의 함량이 높을수록, 가교도가 증가하여 물 및 THF에 대한 함유율이 감소하였다. 이온전도도, 메탄올투과도를 조사한 결과, 디비닐벤젠의 함량 증가와 함께 이온전도도는 감소하였으며, 메탄올 투과도가 감소하였다. 제조된 술폰화된 폴리스티렌/테플론 복합막은 Nafion$^{(R)}$ 과 비교할 만한 높은 이온 전도도(0.11∼0.08 S/cm, $25^{\circ}C$)를 보이면서 훨씬 낮은 메탄올 투과도($6.6{\times}10^{-7}∼1.3{\timas}10^{-7}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s)를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들은 본 연구에서 개발된 복합막이 직접 메탄올 연료전지에 적용될 가능성이 높다는 것을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 전기방사를 이용하여 PS의 취성을 개선하고자 내충격성이 우수한 HIPS와 가교제 DVB를 혼합하여 방사한 후 가교와 술폰화 반응을 통해 HIPS 이온교환 나노섬유를 제조하였다. 또한, 이들을 FT-IR, XPS, 함수율, 이온교환 용량, SEM 및 접촉각으로 나노섬유의 기본특성을 확인하였다. FT-IR 및 XPS 구조분석 결과, HIPS 나노섬유는 술폰화 시간이 지남에 따라 $-SO_3H$기의 도입이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 술폰화 시간이 지남에 따라 섬유의 친수성이 증가하여 DVB 함량이 7.5 wt%, 술폰화 시간이 200분일 때 함수율과 이온교환용량은 최대 75.6%, 2.67 meq/g으로 나타났다.

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.
