  • 본 연구에서는 순차적 음이온 및 개환중합반응을 통해 ABC 형태의 폴리스티렌-폴리에틸렌옥사이드-폴리락티드 블록공중합체를 성공적으로 합성하였다. 우선, 첫번째 블록인 폴리스티렌을 합성하기 위해서, 사이클로헥산 용매에서 스티렌/이차-부틸리튬을 각각 단량체/개시제로 사용하여 음이온중합(anionic polymerization)을 수행하였고, 이후 고분자 말단을 수산기로 전환시키기 위해, 에틸렌옥사이드를 첨가하였다. 다음 단계로 포타슘 나프탈레나이드(potassium naphthalenide)를 이용하여 폴리스티렌 말단 수산기의 수소를 제거하여, 거대개시제인 PS-$O^-K^+$를 제조하였다. 준비된 거대 개시제에 정량된 에틸렌옥사이드를 첨가하여, 음이온중합을 수행하였다. 폴리락티드 블록을 도입시키는 개환중합의 경우, THF 용매에서 트리에틸알루미늄(triethylaluminum)/피리딘(pyridine)시스템을 이용하여 PS-b-PEO-$AlEt_2$ 형태의 거대개시제를 형성한 후, $90^{\circ}C$에서 중합을 수행하였다. 합성된 블록공중합체를 수소핵자기공명법 및 겔침투크로마토그래피 방법을 통해 조사한 결과, 잘 정의된 분자량 및 낮은 분자량 분포를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 야민 말단기를 가지는 PES(6k) 올리고머와 상용 CTBN (1300$\circ$13)으로부터 분자량이 15000g/mol인 PES-CTBN-PES 공중합체를 합성하였으며, 이를 에폭시 수지의 강인화제로 사용하였다. DDS를 경화제로 사용하였으며, 공중합체로 강인화된 에폭시 수지의 열특성, 강인성, 굴골 강도 및 내용매성을 측정하여, PES/CTBN 블렌드로 강인화된 에폭시 수지의 특성과 비교하였다. 공중합체는 용매의 사용없이 에폭시 수지에 40 wt%까지 첨가가 가능하였으며, 굴곡강도 및 내용매성의 저하 없이 40 wt%에서 2.21 mPa${\cdot}m^{0.5}$의 아주 높은 강인성을 보였다. 하지만 PES/CTBN 블렌드로 강인화된 에폭시 수지는 공중합체로 강인화된 시편보다 다소 낮은 강인성, 굴곡강도 및 내용매성을 보였다.

  • The aim of this study is to prepare biodegradable microspheres without the use of surfactants or emulsifiers for a novel sustained delivery carriers of protein drugs. A poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol)/poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (CEC) triblock copolymer was synthesized by the ring-opening of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone with dihydroxy poly (ethylene glycol) to prepare surfactant-free microspheres. When dichloromethane (DCM) or ethyl formate (EF) was used as a solvent, the formation of microspheres did not occur. Although the microspheres could be formed prior to lyophilization under certain conditions, the morphology of microspheres was not maintained during the filtration and lyophilization process. Surfactant-free microspheres were only formed when ethyl acetate (EA) was used as the organic solvent and showed good spherical micro-spheres although the surfaces appeared irregular. The content of the protein in the micro-sphere was lower than expected, probably because of the presence of water channels and pores. The protein release kinetics showed a burst release until 2 days and after that sustained release pattern was showed. Therefore, these observations indicated that the formation of microsphere without the use of surfactant is feasible, and, this the improved process, the protein is readily incorporated in the microsphere.

  • Equilibrium behavior of ABA triblock copolymer with different lengths of endblock A chains was examined using self-consistent field theory by Matsenl. It was found that at small asymmetries, the A block bidispersity reduces the stretching energy of the A domains. This effect causes a slight increase in the domain spacing and shifts the order-order transitions toward higher A volume fractions. At large asymmetries, the short A blocks pull free of their domains allowing their B blocks to relax. A feature of microphase-separated structure of asymmetric poly(methyl acyrylate) (PMA)-b-polystyrene-b-PMA using SAXS, DSC and ESR was experimentally examined. These measurements gave an evidence of the solubilization of short A chains to the B domains.

  • Mesoporous ethanesilica thin film was prepared using PEO-PLGA-PEO triblock copolymers as structure-directing agents and (1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl) ethane BTESE; bridged organosilicates) as inorganic precursors via one-step sol-gel condensation of ethanesilica precursors. The mesostructure of ethanesilica films is critically dependent on the processing experimental parameters after the hydrolyzed silica sol mixture was spin-cast. This study examined the effects of the block copolymer template/organosilica precursor ratio in the casting solution and aging period before calcination of the mesostructure. It was further demonstrated that mesoscopic ordering of organosilicate thin films is induced by the rearrangement of block copolymer template/organosilica hybrid during thermal decomposition of the PEO-PLGA-PEO triblock copolymer. The mesoporous structure and morphology were characterized by SAXS, TEM and solid-state NMR measurement.
