본 연구에서는 Grand-Canonical Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션(GCMC)을 이용하여 서로 반대의 전하를 띤 고분자 전해질의 정전기적 특징을 이해하고, 고분자 전해질 다이오드의 메커니즘을 연구하였다. 고분자 전해질과 서로 반대의 전하를 띤 이온들의 모델은 전하를 띤 free-jointed hard chain과 hard sphere을 이용하였다. 본 연구진은 위와 같은 시뮬레이션을 통해, 평형 상태일 때의 고분자 전해질과 이온의 분포를 연구하였으며, 이 시스템에 전압을 걸어줌에 따라 이온의 이동 모습을 관찰하였다. 또한 전압의 효과와 더불어 고분자 전해질의 농도와 이온들의 크기 변화에 대해서도 연구를 진행하였다.

Polyelectrolytes of various ionization degrees, which are prepared by neutralization of poly(acrylic acid)(PAA), were crosslinked by ethylane glycol diglycidyl ether(EGDE) in aqueous solution. $C_{gel}$, the minimum polymer concentration at which gelation occurs, was higher than expected. $C_{gel}$ was comparable with that of neutral polymer. This is considered to be due to the size contraction of polyelectrolyte, which comes from ionic strength increase as polymer concentration is increased. $C_{gel}$ is low when molecular weight of the sample becomes high. It reveals that polyelectrolyte is crosslinked in coil form not in extended rod form. This behavior is similar to the crosslinking of neutral polymers. Polyelectrolytes of partially ionized sample generally follow the behavior of fully ionized polyelectrolyte. Polyelectrolyte with added salt was also studied. Considering the pH dependence of EDGE reactivity it was difficult to compare the system which differs in pH significantly.

The interaction between poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) of positive charge per repeating unit and anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been investigated by light scattering, turbidimetry and fluorescence. Chain behavior of PDADMAC in 0.3 M NaCl aqueous solution seems like neutral polymer chain In good solvent. By adding SDS into PDADMAC solution, strong attractive interaction develops between them, and can be described with two kinds of critical aggregation concentration(CAC). First, at [SDS]/]DADMAC] 0.06, intramolecular critical micellization of SDS occurs inside a single polymer chain. The maximum size of SDS-polymer complex is observed just before intramolecular CAC. Above intramolecular CAC, the size of this complex starts to shrink slowly due to involvement of polymer subchain in micelle. Second, intermolecular CAC is also observed at [SDS]/[DADMAC] 0.5 by means of turbidimetry. Strong aggregation of polymer chains decorated with many micelles occurs after the second CAC, and huge aggregates have formed.

In this work, profound microscale behaviors of block copolymer and polymer blend under electric field were investigated using microscopic methods and compared systematically. To this end, both the block copolymer and blend containing polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were introduced. The two polymers have a similar dielectric constant. Under an identical experimental condition such as temperature, film thickness, field intensity, and exposure time, the polymer blend responded more sensitively than the block copolymer. The presence of covalent bond suppressed the mobility of constituents in block copolymer. This study will be essential for future research activities regarding behaviors of polymeric materials under external fields.

In this study, polysulfone which has excellent mechanical and thermal stability with low cost was used for preparing a non-conducting polymer matrix as a reinforced composite membrane for fuel cell application. The membranes were prepared by phase separation method. Polymer concentration and retention time were controlled to investigate the effects on the membrane morphology. The resaltant membranes showed all sponge-like structure independent of polymer concentration. The mechanical and thermal stability were improved with increasing polymer concentration in contrast to the membrane porosity. As a result, the membranes prepared with the retention time for 2 mins using 20 wt% of polymer solution was suitable for a fuel cell compositite membrane providing optimum properties such as approximately 80% of high porosity, 1.3 MPa of tensile strength, and less than 1% of thermal shrinkage both machine and transverse direction.

고분자 분리막의 투과성과 선택성을 향상시키기 위하여 IPN막, 고분자/액정 복합막을 다양한 기능을 가진 재료가 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 알칼리메탈이온을 분리하기 위하여 고분자 지지체에 운반체로써 crown ether(macro-cyclic polyether)류를 분산시킨 고분자/운반체 복합박막을 제조하였다. 고분자/운반체 복합박막은 고분자와 운반체의 혼합용액을 수면에 전개시켜 제조하였다. 고분자는 PVC(M.W 60000, Aldrich), PS(M.W 280000, Aldrich)와 CA(M.W 30000, Sigma)를 사용하였고, 운반체로는 crown ether 중 $K^+$이온과 선택성을 가지는 18-Crown-6(Sigma)를 사용, 고분자와 18-Crown-6의 증량분을 달리하는 혼합용액을 제조하였다. 이때 용매는 Tetrahydrofuran를 사용하였다. 수면에 생성된 박막을 다공성 지지막에 적층시킨 후 감압 건조시켜 복합막을 제조하였다. 고분자와 운반체가 혼합되어 있는 용액의 점도와 표면장력을 각각 fluid spectrometer와 tensionmeter를 사용, 용액이 수면위에서 완전한 막을 형성하면서 분산될 수 있는지 조사하였으며, 고분자 지지체에 분산 고정된 운반체의 분산형태와 표면농도를 조사하기 위하여 ESCA를 이용하였다.

In order to improve the durability of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), it is important to accurately evaluate the durability of the polymer membrane in a short time. The test conditions for chemically accelerated durability evaluation of membranes are high voltage, high temperature, low humidity, and high gas pressure. It can be said that the protocol is developed by changing these conditions. However, the relative influence of each test condition on the degradation of the membrane has not been studied. In chemical accelerated degradation experiment of the membrane, the influence of 4 factors (conditions) was examined through the factor experiment method. The degree of degradation of the membrane after accelerated degradation was determined by measuring the hydrogen permeability and effluent fluoride ion concentration, and it was possible to determine the degradation order of the polymer membrane under 8 conditions by the difference in fluoride ion concentration. It was shown that the influence of the membrane degradation factor was in the order of voltage > temperature > oxygen pressure > humidity. It was confirmed that the degradation of the electrode catalyst had an effect on the chemical degradation of the membrane.

최근들어 많은 연구자들에 의해서 고분자 재료를 이용하여 약물의 방출속도를 조절하며 이를 통해서 장기간에 걸쳐 치료 유효농도이상의 혈중농도를 유지 함으로써 치료효과를 극대화 하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 고분자 재료를 이용한 macromolecular drug의 방출조절에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. Macromolercular drug은 인슐린, 알부민등의 단밸질과 유로키나제등의 효소와 같이 약효는 매우 높으나 적절한 투여 수단이 발견되지 않아 투여가 매우 번거로운 단점을 가지고 있다. 이와같은 macromolecular drug의 대부분은 구강을 통해서 투여하는 것은 거의 불가능하며 체내 반감기도 매우 짧아서 절절한 투여방법의 개선이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구실에서는 macromolecular drug의 투여방법을 개선하고자 다공성 고분자막을 이용하였으며 생체 환경의 변화에 대해서 투과속도가 변화하는 자극감응성 고분자 막을 개발하고저 기질로 사용한 고분자 막의 표면에 기능성 모노머를 그라프트 반응을 통해서 도입하고 이의 이용 가능성을 확인하였다.

In order to synthesize polymer particle containing inorganic material, styrene and n-butylmethacrylate were copolymerized with alumina by dispersion polymerization. The weight ratio of styrene to n-butylmethacrylate was 3 : 1. A poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidon) was added as stabilizer. 2,2'-AzobisCisobutyronitrile) and 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane were used as initiator and coupling agent, respectively. The weight ratio of 70 : 30 of isopropanol to distilled water was used as dispersion medium. According to the TEM measurement, we could confirm that alumina was dispersed into the polymer particle. The increase 'of concentration of alumina resulted in enhancement of particle size, but decreased its distribution. By the XRD method, it was found that the increase of alumina concentration showed the increase of intensity in peak and the increased 2$\theta$ value. From the TGA measurement, the increase of alumina concentration caused high heat resistance of the polymer. With respect to the type of initiator, the longer half life of initiator, the smaller particle size. We also found that the increase of particle stabilizer concentration made the decreased of particle size due to the accelerated generation of polymer particle in the early stage of reaction.

The conducting polymer composites were prepared by imbibing the porous particle wish the $FeCl_3$ oxidant solution, drying the imbibed porous particle, and imbibing again with pyrrole solution for polymerization to take place in the pore of porous particles. The effect of synthesis conditions on the conductivity of composite polymers were investigated. It was found that the conductivity of composite polymers was dependant on the concentration of pyrrole monomer, nature of the oxidants and solvents used for the oxidant and pyrrole, which influence the degree of penetration/distribution of polyprrole in the composite and reaction of dopant with pyrrole.
