Drag reduction produced by dilute solution of water soluble ionic polymer-surfactant complex under turbulent flow in a rotating disk apparatus(RDA) was investigated in this study. Three different molecular weights of polyacrylic acid(PAA) were adopted as drag reducing additives, and distilled water was used as a solvent. Experiments were undertaken to observe the dependence of drag reduction on various factors such as polymer molecular weight, molecular expansions and flexibility, rotating speed of the disk and polymer concentration. Specific considerations were put on conformational difference between surfactant and polymer, and effect of pH on ionic polymer possessing various molecular conformation through pH. The complex of ionic polymer and surfactant(Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) behaves like a large polyelectrolyte. Surfactant changes the polymer conformation and then increases the dimension of the polymer. The radius of gyration, hydrodynamic volume and relative viscosity of the polymer-surfactant system are observed to be greater than those of polymer itself. Such surfactant-polymer complex has enhanced drag reduction properties.

Deoxyribonucelic acid (DNA) molecules have a huge molecular weight so that DNA was reported to be a promising natural polymer to give durable films. Among many applications of DNA, the authors focused their attention on separation membranes derived from DNA because membranes will play an important role in environmental and energy related processes. DNA-polyion complex membranes were prepared from DNA and corresponding polycations. The DNA-polyion complex membranes showed chiral separation ability toward racemic amino acid mixtures.

일반적으로 고분자전해질은 고유의 독특한 특성으로 고분자 분리막, 이온교환수지, 의료용고분자등에 널리 응용이 되고 있다. 이러한 고분자전해질은 음이온성과 양이온성이 있으며, 그 이온적성질으로 인하여 반대의 전하를 띄는 고분자전해질들끼리 결합하는 성질을 가지고 있다. 이러한 고분자전해질 착체는 고분자전해질과는 또 다른 고유한 특성을 나타내고 있으며, 특히 고분자분리막과 의료용재료 분야에 응용가능성이 큰 물질이다. 특히 양이온성과 음이온성을 동시에 보유하고 있는 구조적 특성에 의하여 산성과 염기성 모두에서 감응성을 나타낼 수 있다. 일반적으로 고분자 겔의 경우 산성 또는 염기성 영역에서 해리되는 특성에 의하여 pH 감응성을 나타내지만 한쪽 영역에서만 특성을 나타내고 있다. 본 실험에서는 키토산과 폴리아크릴산으로 제조된 고분자전해질착체를 이용하여 pH변화에 따른 함수거동을 관찰함으로써 양쪽의 pH 감응성을 고찰해보고자 하였다.

일반적으로, 전도성 고분자는 금속에 준하는 전기 전도도와 다공성을 이용한 전해질 이온 및 생채 고분자의 물리, 화학적 도우핑 능력을 장점으로 한다. 따라서, 이 분야의 최근 연구동향도 이온 도우핑에 의한 전도성 고분자의 전기 전도도 향상에 초점이 맞추어져 있으며, 이미 다수의 연구진에 의행 여러 가지 방법이 제시되었다. 본 논문은 전기 화학적 cementation 공정을 이용하여 금속 이온을 전도성 고분자에 도우핑하고 특성을 고찰하였다. 전도성 고분자로써 polypyrrole (PPy)을 사용하고, micropaticles (구리와 니켈 이온)를 도펀트 (dopant)로 하여 -1.5 V ${\sim}$ 2V의 범위에서 순환 전압 전류법 (Cyclic voltammetry)을 이용해 organic-inorganic complex를 제작하였고, 각각의 전극을 비교, 분석 하였다. 구리 이온을 도우핑한 PPy 필름은 전기 전도도가 매우 우수하나 대기 중 공기 및 수분에 의해 쉽게 산화되므로 life-time이 짧다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 상대적으로 안정한 니켈 이온을 도우핑한 PPy 필름의 전기 화학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 전극의 표면은 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)를 이용하여 분석하였다.

Polystyrene/polycarbonate 조성이 약 50/50인 3종류의 Poly(carbonate-g-styrene) 공중합체의 동적 탄성율, E*($\omega$)와 동적 스트레인-광학계수 O*($\omega$)을 유리전이 영역부근의 여러온도에서 동시에 측정하여 연구하였다. 두 개의 공중합체는 각각의 스티렌 그라프트쇄 에 5, 10 wt%의 MAH를 함유하고 있다. 이들 공중합체의 E*($\omega$)와 O*($\omega$)완화거동과 그라 프트 공중합체의 상용성과 연관하여 비교 고찰하였다. 공중합체들의 E*($\omega$)는 전형적인 무 정형 고분자의 유리전이 완하거동을 보였으며 정성적인 차이를 발견할수 없었다. 그러나 고 강도의 단일 tan$\delta$분산의 저주파수 영역에 미세분산을 나타내, 공중합체는 2상으로 분리되 어 있음이 추정되엇다. 폴리스티렌 그라프트체에 무수 말레인산 함유량이 증가함에 따라, 저 주파수 영역의 미세피크가 $\alpha$주분산에 병합되어 성분 고분자간의 상호 형동성이 증가함을 알수 있었다. 3공중합체의 유사한 기계적 특성과는 달리, 광학적 완화 스펙트럼 O*($\omega$)는 정 성적으로 명확한 차이를 보여 공중합체들의 광학완화 거동이 명확히 다름을 나타냈다. 기계 적 특성보다는 광학적 특성이 공중합체내의 성분 고분자의 미세한 완하 거동에 훨씬 민감한 응답을나타냈다. 이러한 특성적인 공중합체의 O*($\omega$)차이를 공중합체의 조성단일 고분자 PS, PC의 O*($\omega$)의 가성성을 가정하여 모사하였다 모사에서 구한 광학적 부분 기여 파라메 터를 사용하여 공중합체의 상용성을 고찰하였다.

$\varepsilon$-Caprolactame as organic monomer was intercalated in the interlayer space of montmorillonite and polymerized by polymerization reaction so that the inorganic polymer and organic polymer could be combined each other by chemical bonding. The results of X-ray and IR analysis showed that the polymerization reaction of $\varepsilon$-caprolactame between the interlayer spaces has been performed sucessfully. In order to study polymeric reaction product in detail we have isolated the polymerized material from the interlayer space and analyzed it by X-ray diffractometer and IR-Spectrocopy. The comparison of these results with them of the analyses for thee pure polymer which has been synthesized by polymeric reaction of $\varepsilon$-carolactame without montmorillonite showed that the obtained both polymeric materials are the same compounds.

Polymers are introduced to neat asphalt to prepare self-healing asphalt. The polymers are Surlyn, Nylon and polyethyleneterephtalate(PET). Since they are known as having high intermolecular force, they have high processing temperature. Therefore they are hardly introduced into the asphalt as bulk state. So in this study, they are introduced as solutions. Polymer-modified asphalts showed excellent modification effect and also healing effect. 5% polymer added asphalt showed more than 18% increased tensile strength. This tensile strength increment can be explained by polymer's intermolecular forces. Especially Surlyn interacts with asphalt molecules by hydrogen bonding and also with metals in asphalt by ionic bonding. When it comes to healing aspect the healing efficiency of Surlyn increased to 138% based on tensile strength. That of PET increased to 141% based on complex modulus and in case of Nylon it increased to 131% based on impact strength. This tells that in dealing with healing efficiency the important considering factors are not only the intermolecular forces of the polymers but also the interaction between the polymer and asphalt molecules.

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.

Nafion/basic polymer composite membranes were prepared to reduce the methanol crossover for the application of direct methanol fuel cell. The thermal and mechanical properties increased with increasing basic polymer contents due to the formation of complex via acid/basic interaction. The water uptake, proton conductivity, methanol permeability decreased with increasing basic polymer concentration by reduction of acidity associated with the formation of acid/base complex. The molecular effect on those properties was not considerable.

Various polymer metal complexes have been synthesized from anhydrous $AlCl_3,\;FeCl_3,\;SbCl_5,\;SnCl_4\;and\;ZnCl_2$ with cation exchange resin in carbon disulfide solvent. The forms of the surfaces and sectioned beads of these polymer metal complexes have been observed using scanning electron probe microanalyzer. To examine the catalytic activity of polymer metal complexes, the esterification of various dibasic acids with alcohols have been carried out. Polymer metal complexes were found to be the effective catalyst for esterification of dibasic carboxylic acids.
