To understand the thermoresponsive volume phase transition of an N-isopropyl acrylamide(NIPA) gel on water, the solubility parameter of neutral NIPA gel was determined by swelling the gel with various solvents. Water was found not to be a good solvent for NIPA gel. Equilibrium swelling curves of NIPA gel were respectively obtained by immersing in pure water, ethanol, n-propanol and some mixed solvents. On adding a small amount of alcohols to water, volume phase transition of NIPA gel in water was changed. Phase transition temperature of this gel was decreased with the increase of the carbon number of alcohol.

PP hollow fiber membrane was hydrophilized by EVOH dip coating followed by low temperature plasma treatment and UV irradiation. EVOH coating attained high water flux without any prewetting but its stability did not guaranteed at high water permeation rate. At high water permeation rate, water flux declined gradually due to swelling and delamination of the EVOH coating layer causing pore blocking effect. However, plasma treatment reduces the swelling, which suppress delamination of the EVOH coating layer from PP support result in relieving the flux decline. Also, UV irradiation helped the crosslinking of the EVOH coating layer to enhance the performance at low water permeation rate. FT-IR and ESCA analyses reveal that EVOH dip coating performed homogeneously through not only membrane surface but also matrix. Thermogram of EVOH film modified plasma treatment and W irradiation show that crosslinking density of EVOH layer increased. Chemical modification by plasma treatment and UV irradiation stabilized the hydrophilic coating layer to increase the critical flux of the submerged membrane.

The removal of trace chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons from water by a pervaporation technique has been carried out through poly (dimethylsiloxane) membrane which had been fabricated by the addition crosslinking reaction. This study dealt with the swelling and permeation behaviors of the PDMS membranes with dichloroethane trichloroethane and toluene aqueous solutions. The swelling ratio in the toluene aqueous solution was much higher than those in the chloroethane solutions at all of the operating temperatures and concentrations. The solubility parameter theory was introduced to interpret the affinity between permeates and a membrane material and in all cases this approach seemed to be proper. It was suggested that the existence of water clusters in the membrane due to the hydrophobic characteristics of the membrane made the size of the permeating water larger resulting in suppressing water permeation and increasing enrichment of the organic components. The permeation behaviors at different membrane thicknesses were indirectly interpreted in terms of the effect of concentration polarization.

본 연구에서는 차수재의 차수성를 결정짓는 벤토나이트 팽윤재를 이용하여 증류수, 침출수, 바닷물 및 3% NaCl 용액등의 반응물에 대한 자유팽윤도를 측정하였으며 Poly(acrylic acid)와 PVA(polyvinyl Alcohol), SCMC(Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose)를 각각 첨가한 벤토나이트의 자유팽윤도의 변화를 비교 평가하였다. 또한 바닷물에서의 토목섬유점토차수재의 투수계수를 측정하였으며 바닷물이 차수성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 확인하였다. 벤토나이트의 평균 자유팽윤도는 증류수>침출수>바닷물 순으로 감소하였다. 바닷물에서와 3% NaCl 용액에서의 자유팽윤도 값은 근소한 차이를 보였다. Poly(acrylic acid)가 첨가된 벤토나이트는 모든 반응물에서 팽윤성 향상을 나타내었고 PYA가 첨가된 벤토나이트는 증류수를 제외한 반응물에서는 팽윤성 향상을 보이지 않았다. SCMC가 첨가된 벤토나이트의 팽윤성은 3% NaCl 용액에서 다소 자유팽윤도가 떨어지나 전반적으로 팽윤성이 향상되었다.

우리는 하이드로겔 렌즈의 단점을 보완하기 위해 AA(Acrylic acid) and BMA(butyl methacrylate)의 재료를 중합하였다. 실리콘의 합성과정은 다음과 같다. Disocynate를 HEMA(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate)와 촉매 하에서 반응시킨 후 다시 고 산소 투과성 특성을 가지는 bis(hydroxyalkyl)terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane)를 반응시켜 Acrylate-PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane)-Urethane prepolymer를 합성하였다. HEMA(2-hydroxyet-hylmethacrylate)는 중합 가능한 prepolymer를 만들기 위해서 사용하였으며, Urethane의 도입은 탄성이 좋고 산소투과성을 높이기 위해 사용하였다. 이렇게 만들어진 prepolymer를 기존 하이드로겔 콘택트렌즈의 재료들과 공중합하여 산소투과성이 좋은 실리콘 하이드로겔 렌즈(silicone hydrogel contact lens)를 제조하였다. 콘택트렌즈 제조를 위해 기존에 사용된 콘택트렌즈 재료에 탄성과 유연성이 좋은 BMA(Butyl methacrylate), 습윤성이 좋은 AA(Acrylic acid)를 첨가하였다. 개시제로는 AIBN(Azobis2-methylpropionitrile)을, 교차결합제로 EGDMA(Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylat)를 사용하였다. 각 monomer의 특징에 따라 여러 가지 조합을 시도하여 기본적인 콘택트렌즈 물성을 만족하면서 동시에 산소투과성과 습윤성이 좋은 렌즈를 제조하였다. SILICONE, HEMA, NVP과 EGDMA등이 포함된 SN은 팽윤율(swelling ratio) 9.38%, 함수율(water content) 23.72%로 나타났고, 가시광선 투과율은 88%로 나타났다. AA를 첨가한 SA는 팽윤율(swelling ratio) 9.38%, 함수율(water content) 23.72%로 나타났고, 가시광선 투과율은 88%로 나타났다. SN에 BMA를 첨가한 SB는 팽윤율(swelling ratio) 12.50%, 함수율(water content) 18.56%로 나타났고, 가시광선 투과율은 88%로 나타났다. SN에 AA와 BMA를 첨가한 SAB는 팽윤율(swelling ratio) 8.33%, 함수율(water content) 12.93%로 나타났고, 가시광선 투과율은 88%로 나타났다.

A self-oscillating interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) poly(acrylic acid)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PAA/PEG) hydrogel was prepared by using radical polymerization with a two-step method. The IPN hydrogel was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and morphological analysis. The results indicated that the chains of PEG and PAA twined to form porous structure which is beneficial to water molecules entering inside of the hydrogel. In addition, the pH-responsive behavior, salt sensitivity, swelling/de-swelling oscillatory behaviors and self-oscillation in a closed pH oscillator were also studied. The results showed that the prepared hydrogel exhibited pH-sensitivity, good swelling/de-swelling reversibility and excellent salt sensitivity. The self-oscillating behavior of swelling/de-swelling for the prepared hydrogel was caused by pH alteration coupled with the external media. This study may create a new possibility as biomaterial including new self-walking actuators and other related devices.

A novel, polysaccharide-based, superabsorbent hydrogel was synthesized through crosslinking graft copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) onto kappa-carrageenan ($_{k}C$), using ammonium persulfate (APS) as a free radical initiator in the presence of methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. A proposed mechanism for $_{k}C$­g-polymethacrylic acid ($_{k}C$-g-PMAA) formation was suggested and the hydrogel structure was confirmed using FTIR spectroscopy. The effect of grafting variables, including MBA, MAA, and APS concentration, was systematically optimized to achieve a hydrogel with the maximum possible swelling capacity. The swelling kinetics in distilled water and various salt solutions were preliminarily investigated. Absorbency in aqueous salt solutions of lithium chloride, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and aluminum chloride indicated that the swelling capacity decreased with increased ionic strength of the swelling medium. This behavior can be attributed to the charge screening effect for monovalent cations, as well as ionic crosslinking for multivalent cations. The swelling of super absorbing hydrogels was measured in solutions with pH ranging from 1 to 13. In addition, the pH reversibility and on-off switching behavior, at pH levels of 3.0 and 8.0, give the synthesized hydrogels great potential as an excellent candidate for the controlled delivery of bioactive agents.

소나무, 낙엽송 및 잣나무 간벌재를 재료로 가압압력과 열압시간을 달리하여 톱밥 보드를 제조하고, 이들이 보드의 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 두께 팽창율과 흡수율은 열압시간이 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 휨강도와 경도는 열압시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 톱밥보드의 물성은 가압압력 보다 열압시간에 의해 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었고, 수종간 비교에서는 뚜렷한 경향을 발견 할 수 없었다.

This study was carried out to discuss the feasibility of wood and plastic wastes as the raw materials for wood particle-plastic composites. For this purpose, composites were manufactured from coarse and fine wood particles and polypropylene fibers by nonwoven web process. And the effect of wood particle size on the performance of the composites were analyzed according to ASTM D 1037-93. In the physical properties of composites, water absorption decreased with the increase of target density and polypropylene fiber content. And the composites with fine wood particles appeared to have slightly lower water absorption than those with coarse wood particles. Thickness swelling did not vary significantly with the increase of target density but increased with the increase of wood particle content. And the composites with fine wood particles were significantly lower in thickness swelling than those with coarse wood particles. In the mechanical properties of composites, dry and wet MOR showed the increasing tendency with the increase of polypropylene fiber content and target density. Dry and wet MOE showed the increasing tendency with the increase of target density but only wet MOE exhibited the increasing tendency with the increase of polypropylene fiber content. Composites with fine wood particles appeared to be generally higher in wet MOR and MOE than those with coarse wood particles. In conclusion, composites with fine wood particles showed generally higher performance than those with coarse ones. Also, composites were significantly superior to control particleboards in the performance, especially in water absorption and thickness swelling.
