Condensed ethyl silicate(CES) solutions were prepared from $SiCl_4$ and ethanol which is different in water content(2.5, 5.0 and 7.0wt.% ). To investigate the sol-gel transition behaviors of CES and PHT(partially hydrolyzed TEOS) solutions, the measurement of volume change, density, $SiO_2$ content, intrinsic viscosity and number average molecular weight were conducted with elapsed time. The polymer shapes of CES were discussed from the relation between the intrinsic viscosity[$\eta$] and the number average molecular weight($\bar{Mn}$). CES-3 prepared from ethanol containing 7.0wt.% $H_2O$ had different sol-gel transition behaviors from CES-1 (2.5wt.% $H_2O$) and CES-2(5.Owt.% $H_2O$), but similar behaviors to those of PHT which is used for controlling the hydrolysis rata of TEOS when composite ceramic materials were manufactured from silicon alkoxides. On the basis of Mark-Hawink relation, $[{\eta}]=K\bar{Mn}^{{\alpha}}$, the polymer shape of CES solutions were determined linear siloxane polymers because all solutions had ${\alpha}$ values in the range from 0.53 to 0.84. Especially, CES-3 showed to be a favorable raw materials for composite ceramics due to its similar properties to those of PHT.

Gel polymer electrolytes were prepared from poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoro propylene)[P(VdF-co-HFP)] that had higher mechanical properties as well as higher dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$=8~13) than other polymeric matrix. Mechanical properties and ionic conductivities have been investigated as a function of blend ratio of electrolyte solution and polymer matrix. Ethylene carbonate (EC)/${\gamma}$-butyrolactone (${\gamma}$-BL) and lithium triflate (LiCF$_3$SO$_3$) were used as solvent and salt, respectively. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus, compression modulus, and dynamic shear modulus were evaluated. The highest ionic conductivity was 1.09$\times$10$^{-3}$ S/cm for PVH40 containing 28.6 wt% of P(VdF-co-HFP) at $25^{\circ}C$. Tensile strength, tensile modulus and compression modulus were increased with P(VdF-co-HFP) content and abruptly changed between PVH70 and PVH80. Dynamic shear moduli showed a typical gel behavior and changed with shear strain.

현재 이용되는 막들은 대부분 유기계 혹은 고분자계로 열적인 안정성이 적고 내약품성이 낮다. 그래서 본 실험에서는 내열, 내약품성이 우수한 무기기와 유기기를 조합하여 복합막을 제조하려 시도하였다. 이때 유-무기 복합상의 반응은 졸-겔 법을 이용하였는데 이 졸-겔 법이란 출발물질인 금속알콕사이드를 용액상에서 가수분해하여 졸을 얻고 축합반응을 통해 겔을 형성하여 무기고분자를 제조하거나 소결하여 필름, 분말, 섬유상, 괴상 등의 다양한 형태로 산화물을 제조하는 공정이다. 이는 분자적 차원에서 혼합하여 반응하므로 산화물간의 반응보다 반응성의 입장에서 훨씬 유리하며 또한 용액상에서 저온반응 하므로 기존에는 유기-무기기를 조합하는데 존재하는 문제를 해결 할 수 있다.

Optimum reaction conditions for gel formation of rapeseed, Brassica napus, protein catalyzed by microbial TGase(transglutaminase) were evaluated by measuring breaking strength and deformation of gel. The polymerization of the protein gel was ascertained by SDS-PAGE and content of GL crosslinking$[{\varepsilon}-({\gamma}-glutamyl)lysine]$. In the reaction between rapeseed protein and TGase at $45^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, the breaking strength and deformation of the gel was the maximum at the ratio of 1 : 40 of enzyme to substrate. 10%(w/v) of rapeseed protein concentrate was optimum for gel production. The maximum breaking strength and deformation was shown at $45^{\circ}C$ The breaking strength increased linearly up to 90 min of the reaction time and remained unchanged. The breaking strength and deformation by TGase treatment was pH dependent and pH 7 was optimum for 10% rapeseed protein solution. SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that new band of highmolecular polymers were formed by the enzyme reaction, with disappearing the original bands of rapeseed protein. According to HPLC analysis. the content of GL crosslinking was increased from 0 to $7.14\;{\mu}mol/g$ gel for 90 min of the reaction time.

Polymer electrolyte films consisting of poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP), LiClO$_3$ and a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and ${\gamma}$-butyrolactone (GBL) were examined in order to obtain the best compromise between high ionic conductivity, homogeniety, dimensional and electrochemical stability. Measurements of ionic conductivity, differential scanning calorimetry and linear sweep voltammetry have been carried out for various compositions. The highest conductivity of 3.8$\times$10$^{-3}$ S$cm^{-1}$ / at 3$0^{\circ}C$ were obtained for a film of 30(PVdF-HFP)+7.8LiClO$_4$+62.2EC/GBL. From the DSC study, it has been found that the PVdF-HFP gels are stable up to 10$0^{\circ}C$, and the salt lowers the melting temperature of crystalline part of PVdF by interacting sensitively with polymer segments. When Lithium metal is in contact with the gel films, it tends to undergo corrosion and the reaction products accumulate resulting in the formation of a passive film on Li electrode. As the aging time progresses, the interfacial resistance increases continuously. Anodic stability is measured to extend up to about 4.5 V vs. Li.

Effects of ion species on the expansion behavior of Poly(styrene sufonic acid)(PSSA) hydrogel were investigated in aqueous solution of selected anions, cations and hydrophobic ions. The deexpansion extent of Poly(stylene sulfonic acid) gel follow the sequence $SCN^-$<$Br^-$<$Cl^-$<$F^-$ in low concentration solutions due to the destabilization of anions to hydrogen bond between ${SO_3}^-$ and water. The deexpansion in cations followed the sequence of counterion interactions between ${SO_3}^-$ and cations. It was discussed the effects of ions on the hydrogen bonding through ${SO_3}^-$ and phenyl ring in salt solutions. Other interactions, such as the cation-${\pi}$ interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and dispersion force, contributed to the ion specific swelling of PSSA hydrogel.

[ $SiO_2$ ] effect on the electrochemical properties of polymeric gel electrolytes(PGEs) reinforced with glass fiber cloth(GFC) was investigated . PGEs were composed of polyacrylronitrile(PAN), poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VdF-co-HFP)), $LiClO_4$ and three kind of plasticizer(ethylene carbonate, dietyl carbonate, propylene carbonate). $SiO_2$ was added to PGEs in the weight fraction of 10, 20, $30\%$ respectively. PGEs containing $SiO_2$ showed conductivity of over $10^{-3}S/cm\;at\;23^{\circ}C$ and electrochemical stability window to 4.8V. In the impedance spectra of the cells, which were constructed by lithium metals as electrodes, interfacial resistance increased due to growth of passivation layer during storage time and remarkable difference was not observed with content of $SiO_2$. In the impedance spectra of the lithium ion polymer batteries consisted of $LiClO_2$ and mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber(MCF), ohmic cell resistance of $SiO_2-free$ PGE was changed continuously with number of cycle, but those of $SiO_2-dispersed$ PGEs were not. Discharge capacity of the PGE containing $20wt\%\;SiO_2$ showed 132 mAh/g at 0.2C rate and $85\%$ of discharge capacity was retained at 2C rate.

DDS에 활용될 수 있는 고분자 소재를 개발할 목적으로 물성 및 응용성이 우수한 고분자 겔에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. Ethylene oxide,propylene oxide 각각의 copolymer인 poloxamer등의 prepolymer들을 triisocyanate로 가교시키고 diisocyanate 로 chain이 연장된 "soft hydrogel"을 제조하였다. 모델 약물을 선정하여 crosslinker와 extender의 조절에 따른 hydrogel의 약물 방출 조절능을 조사하였으며 그 기전을 규명하고자 하였다. 가교부위에 urethane bond를 함유한 soft hydtogel은 건조상태에서도 고무와 같은 전연성을 보여 일반적인 hydrogel과 대비되는 특성을 보였으며 이에 따른 다양한 활용성이 기대되었다. Extender및 crosslinker의 비율에 따라서 이 rubber elasticity가 조절되었다. 가교도가 감소할수록 팽윤도가 상승하였고 이에 따른 약물방출도 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 Prepolymer의 분자량 및 친수/소수성등의 물성에 따라 약물방출을 조절할 수 있었다. 제조된 hydrogel에 조절방출시 필요한 기능을 부가시키고자 poly(carylic acid)류와 IPN 공중합체를 합성하여 물성을 조사하였고 비이온성/양이온성/음이온성 모델약물을 선정하여 pH에 따른 가변적 팽윤도와 이온성 상호작용등에 근거한 약물 조절방출기전을 조사하였다.기전을 조사하였다.

A new series of ion separation membrane materials based on pheonoxy and trifluoroethoxy co-substituted polyphosphazene has been designed and synthesized. The polymers were characterized by $^{31}P$ NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and get permeation chromatography. The basic phosphazene membranes were sulfonated to obtain better hydrophilicity and ion-selectivity. The membrane from $[NP(OC_6H_4SO_3H)_{1.58}(OCH_2CF_3)_{0.42}]_n$ gave excellent values of ion transport number, area resistivity, and also ion exchange capacity, compared with the commercial membranes.

폴리아크릴로니트릴을 NaOH로 가수분해시키면 carboxylate anion과 carboxanlide기가 생성되며, 물을 흡수할 경우 sodium carboxylate기의 해리로 팽윤이 크게 일어나므로 고흡수성을 지니게 된다. 일찍이 flory[1]는 가교된 고분자 전해질이 고흡수성을 나타내는 겔을 형성할 것으로 예측한 바 있다. 이 가교 결합이 아크릴 섬유의 부분 가수분해에 대한 자료는 새로운 기능을 부여하면서 섬유의 물성을 어느 정도 유지하는데 요구되는 조건을 제시하게되므로 향후 아크릴 섬유의 개질에 활용될 수 있다. (중략)
