In this research, a high-elasticity acrylic emulsion binder with core-shell polymerization and self-crosslinking system is mixed with a flame-retardant water-dispersed polyurethane (PUD) binder. In addition, finite element analysis was conducted through virtual engineering software ANSYS by applying three representative nonlinear material models. The most suitable nonlinear material model was selected after the relative comparison between the actual experimental values and the predicted values of the properties derived from simulations. The selected nonlinear material model is intended to be used as a nonlinear material model for computational simulation analysis that simulates the experimental environment of the vibration test (ASTM E1399) and the actual fire safety test (ASTM E1966). When the mass fraction of thermally expandable graphite was 0.7%, the thermal and physical properties were the best. Among the nonlinear material models, the simulation result of the Ogden model showed the closest value to the actual result.

A ZnO/poly (amide-imide) hybrid nanocomposite film with different weight percentages of Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles is synthesized and characterized in this paper. A two-step reaction successfully synthesized a new kind of heteroaromatic diamine with bulky pendant groups. In order to produce 3, 5-dinitro-3, 3-bis (4-(4-Nitrophenoxy) phenyl) -2- benzofuran-1-one, 3, 3'-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) benzofuran-1-one and 3'-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) benzofuran-1-one were combined with 3'-bis (3-hydroxyphenyl) benzofuran-1-one. The obtained dinitro was then reduced by zinc dust and hydrochloric acid. The reaction of 4, 4^* carbonyl diphthalic anhydride with amino acid L-alanine in acetic acid leads to the production of very high yields of chiral diacid monomer. As a result of the direct polymerization of these monomers, new optically active polymers were formed (amide-imide). In order to synthesize poly (amide-imide)/ZnO nanocomposites with different weight percentages (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10%), PAI and ZnO nanoparticles were combined using ultrasonication SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetry were used to characterize the PAI films.

In this study, the manufacturing process of micro capsulized PCM (phase changing material) for thermal storage performance of latent heat was investigated to save energy during the use of buildings: i.e. use of melamine-type resin as the micro-capsule material and paraffin wax as the inner material that are together used in concrete walls. For the manufacturing process of the micro-capsulized PCM, the amount of SDS addition as surfactant was the key variable and the resulting thermal storage performance depended on the SDS amount. With increasing amount of SDS, the micro capsulation became much easier while the capsule surface became harder. The micro capsules became uniform at an optimum SDS addition. The addition of SDS also affected the thermal capacity: with increasing SDS amount, the heat storage and release tendency at melting point was more clearly manifested. The current investigation is part of a study under progress to explore the use of PCM in concrete walls to save building maintenance cost and energy.

Poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (PVP) and its copolymers, poly(4-vinyl pvridine- co-acrylamide) and poly(4-vinyl pyridine-co-allylamine), were synthesized and evaluated for application to organic solder-ability preservatives (OSP). The copolymers were synthesized by radical polymerization of vinyl pyridine in the presence of acrylamide or allylamine as a comonomer. Various kinds of polymers with different chemical composition were synthesized by varying the feed ratio of monomers and their low $M_w$ polymers can be obtained by adding 2-mercaptoethanol as a chain transfer agent during poly-merization. All the polymers showed good adhesion properties on Cu pad when they were spin-coated. Especially, allylamine -containing copolymers showed both good adhesion and solubility properties. Also, they exhibited better thermal stability than PVP homopolymer and such thermal properties were changed depending on the chemical composition and their $M_w$, which were evidenced by the measurement of oxygen induced temperature (OIT). From the OIT measurement, poly(4-vinyl pyridine- co-allylamine) was thermally stable up to $230^{\circ}C$ for 70 min in the 100% oxygen environment. As a result, allylamine-containing copolymers can be considered as a promising OSP coating material that has excellent thermal and adhesive properties applicable to the present microelectronic package processes.

pH/Thermal sensitive copolymers with the various acidic comonomer compositions composed of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) with acrylic acid (AAc), 2-acrylamido glycolic acid (AAmGAc), and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) were synthesized by free radial polymerization. In this study, to characterize the effect of different acidic comonomer composition and pH on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behaviors of their copolymers. phase transition experiments were performed with a thermo-optical analyzer (TOA). The phase transition temperature (T$^{p}$ ) of aqueous poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) solution was lowered with increasing the ionization of the acid group in AAc, that is, the ionized state induced the electrostatic repulsion of ionized groups. In contrast, when AAmGAc was introduced into PNIPAAm, T$^{p}$ was little changed at pH 1-3, whereas climbed up significantly from pH 1 to pH 3. In the range of pH 6-10, Tp was lower than that of pH 3-5. This result was considered to be \"Ionic Screen Effect\" and this effect had been also observed in the case of poly(NIPAAm-co-AMPS).-co-AMPS).

Olefins are industrially important materials used for the synthesis of various petrochemicals. During the polymerization process, unreacted olefin monomers are discharged together with a large amount of nitrogen. For economic benefits, these olefin gases should be efficiently separated from nitrogen. In this study, a poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) (PGM) comb-like copolymer was synthesized and 4,4'-diaminoazobenzene (DAAB) was introduced to the copolymer to prepare a cross-linked membrane for C₃H₆/N₂ separation. PGM and DAAB were readily reacted at room temperature through an epoxide-amine reaction without additional thermal treatment. PGM-based membrane, which is a glassy polymer, showed a faster permeation of N₂ compared to C₃H₆. The pristine PGM membrane exhibited the N₂ permeability of 0.12 barrer and the high N₂/C₃H₆ selectivity of 32.4. As DAAB was introduced as a cross-linker, the thermal stability of the membrane was significantly improved, which was confirmed by TGA result. The N₂/C₃H₆ selectivity was decreased at 1 wt% of DAAB content, but the N₂ permeability increased by approximately 4.7 times. We analyzed N₂/C₃H₆ gas separation properties through a glassy polymer-based membrane, which has not been widely studied. Also, we proposed that thermal stability of the membrane can be greatly improved by the cross-linking method.

The thermal and optical properties of cellobiose octa(cholestryloxycarbonyl)alkanoates CCCBn, $n=2{\sim}8$,10, the number of methylene units in the spacer) were investigated. All the samples formed monotropic cholesteric phases with left-handed helical structures. CCBn with n=2 or 10, in contrast with CCBn with $3{\leq}n{\leq}8$, did not display reflection colors over the full cholesteric range, suggesting that the helical twisting power of the cholesteryl group highly depends on the length of the spacer connecting the cholesteryl group to the cellobiose chain. The isotropic-cholestropic transition ($T_{ic}$) and glass transition temperatures decreased with increasing n and showed no odd-even effect. The transition entropy at $T_{ic}$ increased with increasing n from 2 up 6, but at n=7 it drops significantly and then increased again with increasing n from 8 to 10. The sharp change at n=7 may be attributed to a difference in arrangement of the side groups. The thermal stability and degree of order in the mesophase and the temperature dependence of the optical pitch observed for CCBn were significantly different from those reported for the cellulose tri(cholesteryloxycarbonyl)alkanoates and glucose penta(cholesteryloxycarbonyl)alkanoates. The results were discussed in terms of the differences in the degree of polymerization, the number of the mesogenic units per mole-glucose unit, and the conformation of the molecules.

Various investigations of vegetable oil extracted from natural resources are underway because of their low cost and environmental value. On the other hand, the double bonds in vegetable oil should be substituted to other high reactive functional groups due to their low reactivity for synthesizing bio-polymeric materials. ${\alpha}$-eleostearic acid, which consists of a conjugated triene, is the main component of tung oil, and the conjugated triene allows tung oil to have higher reactivity than other vegetable oils. In this study, tung oil was copolymerized with styrene and divinylbenzene to make a thermoset resin without any substitution of functional groups. The thermal and mechanical properties were measured to examine the effects of the composition of each monomer on the synthesized thermoset resin. The results showed that the products have only one Tg, which means the synthesized thermoset resins are homogeneous at the molecular level. The mechanical properties show that tung oil acts as a soft segment in the copolymer and makes a more elastic product. On the other hand, divinylbenzene acts as a hard segment and makes a more brittle product.

N-Methyl-p-aminophenol was polymerized by oxidative couplng in the aqueous iron chelate solution in the presence of oxygen, and black precipitate of oligo-(N-methyl-p-aminophenol) was formed quantitatively. In this oxidative polymerization reaction, methyl group attached to N in the monomer was partly eliminated, and it was clarified by the infrared spectra from the fact that the absorption of ${\delta}\;asym\;CH_3\;1460\;cm^{-1}$ and ${\delta}\;sym\;CH_3\;1380\;cm^{-1}$ in acetone insoluble fraction was much weaker than that in acetone soluble fraction. From Thermo-gravimetric analysis, oligo-(N-methyl-p-aminophenol) showed about 40% weight loss at $600^{\circ}C$ and it was less heat-resistant than oligo (p-aminophenol) that methyl group was not contained. In pyrolysis of oligo-(N-methyl-p-aminophenol) in He atmosphere, monomer N-methyl-p-aminophenol and water were formed, and in the pyrolytic gases, $H_2,\;CO,\;CO_2$ were detected by gas chromatography. From the above facts, to the structural change on oligo-(N-methyl-p-aminophenol) when it was heat-treated, it was considered that original linear structure was partly degraded, and the most of the oligomer was to go in with melt polycondensation to form polymer, and heat-resistant cyclic structure was formed at a time.

Chitosan is known to be a good biocompatible natural polymer. Polyethyleneglycol monomethacrylates(PEGM) were grafted onto chitosan and their reaction conditions and properties of the graft polymers obtained were estimated. Using ceric ammonium nitrate(CAN) as the initiator, the optimum condition for graft polymerization was determined amount of the initiator and monomer concentrations and reaction time. Grafting yields such as total conversion, the percentage of grafting and the efficiency of grafting were calculated and examined the optimum reaction condition for high grafting yields. The percentage of grafting and total conversion were maximum at condition that the concentration of initiator was $4{\sim}5{\times}10^{-3}M$, the concentration of monomer was 0.5~0.6M, the reaction time was 2~3 hours and the reaction temperature was about $40^{\circ}C$. Thermal characteristics, solubility for chitosan solvents and inherent viscosity of synthesized graft copolymers were investigated. In high initiator concentration, characteristics of chitosan were greatly diminshed. In case of inherent viscosities, chitosan-g-PE-90 was 2.81 dl/g, chitosan-g-PE-200, 3.01dl/g and chitosan-g-PE-350, 4.93dl/g. And a tendency of viscosity increase depending on the length of ethylene oxide residue was confirmed. Degree of swelling, tensile strength, elongation of membrane prepared from graft copolymers were determined. Properties of graft copolymers were affected by percentage of grafting and length of ethylene oxides residue in polyethylene glycol monomethacrylates. Tensile strength, elongation and degree of swelling of graft copolymers were remarkably improved than chitosan. As percentage of grafting increased, the amount of drug permeation was also increased.
