Polyolefin is one of the most important commodity polymers having excellent physical properties and cost competitiveness, which has continuously broadened their market in response to a heavy demand from industry. However, the lack of polarity in polyolefin has limited its applications, especially where interactions with other materials are important. In view of the above, the incorporation of polar functional groups in polyolefin has been widely attempted. Especially, the preparations of segmented modified polyolefin copolymers, such as block and graft copolymers have been extensively investigated, since the loss of the original properties of polyolefin can be minimized while the polar segments can endow interactions with other materials. Living radical polymerization (LRP) method can be one of the most attractive synthetic tools for the preparation of the modified polyolefin block or graft copolymers. In this review, progress on the preparation of the polyolefin based block or graft copolymers through LRP technique is briefly summarized.

In this study, the fundamental behavior of microdomains in block copolymer/nanoparticle composite thin films was examined. In this experiment, polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) block copolymer and CdSe nanoparticles having a noncentrosymmetric property were employed. Composite hybrid thin films were produced by a spin coating method, and changes in the internal structure of composite thin films were monitored mainly by transmission electron microscopy. In summary, nanoparticles resided inside the thin film relatively intact, however, the block copolymer microdomains rotated parallel to the electric field direction. This study will be very helpful for future research activities regarding behaviors of heterogeneous composite materials under external fields.

The low temperature anionic copolymerization of p-tolylisocyanate ($M_1$) with n-hexylisocyanate ($M_2$) in DMF was carried out with NaCN. Copolymers were characterized by osmometry and I. R. spectrophotometry. Also copolymer composition was analyzed by spectral measurements. The behavior of this copolymerization system was the type of less ideal, that is the $M_2$ prefers to react exclusively with the same kind of species. The stress-strain behavior of the copolymer obtained from equimolar comonomer feed exhibited somewhat brittle or rigid character.

The copolymers with various composition of methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), methacrylic acid (MA) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were synthesized for capacitive humidity sensitive materials. The capacitive humidity sensor consisted of a polymethacrylate film coated on both sides with gold electrode. Capacitance versus relative humidity increased with HEMA content in the copolymer. In the case of self-crosslinkable MMA/MA/HEHA= 40/10/10, the average capacitance at 30%RH, 60%RH and 90%RH are 102, 134 and 166 pF, respectively. And also, the hysteresis, temperature cycle and long-term stability were evaluated as a capacitance humidity sensor.

본 연구는 불소그룹을 함유한 술폰화된 아릴렌에테르계 블록 공중합체 고분자 전해질막의 제조 및 연료전지 특성에 관한 것이다. 이러한 불소그룹을 함유한 술폰화된 아랄렌에테르계 블록 공중합체를 제조하기 위하여 양말단에 불소계 비닐기를 가지면서, 고분자 전환시 상온에서 술폰화 가능한 biphenyl계 단량체와 술폰화가 불가능한 sulfonyl계 단량체를 각각 합성하였다. Biphenyl계 단량체로 부터 올리고머를 합성한 후 sulfonyl계 단량체와 열적 고리화 부가중합을 하여 다양한 몰조성을 갖는 일련의 perfluorocyclobutane(PFCB)기를 포함하는 블록 공중합체를 제조하였다. 제조된 블록 공중합체를 상온에서 술폰화제인 chlorosulfonic acid(CSA)를 이용하여 후술폰화시켜 강산 이온기인 sulfonic acid를 biphenyl계 올리고머 부분에 선택적으로 도입하였다. 이렇게 제조된 술폰화된 고분자를 제막한 후 연료전지 특성을 Nafion-115와 비교하였다. 술폰화가 되는 올리고머 블록의 비율 증가에 따라 이온교환능력 (IEC)이 증가하였고 , 그에 따른 팽윤도 역시 증가하는 것을 보였다. 술폰화된 고분자들은 건조 및 습윤 상태에서도 기계적 강도가 우수하였다. 최적화된 술폰화 블록 고분자(S-2) 를 대상으로 membrane electrolyte assembly(MEA) 를 제조하여 연료전지 초기성능을 측정한 결과 Nafion-112와 유사한 전기화학적 성능을 나타내었다.

블렌딩이나 공중합체의 합성은 한가지 또는 모든 구성성분 고분자의 단점을 보완하면서 효과적인 물성 발현을 위해 연구되어 왔다. 특히 방향족 폴리에스테르계 고분자들 사이에서는 PET/PEN, PEN/PHN, PBT/PBN, 또는 PET/PBT 등의 공중합체가 보고되고 있다[1-3]. 한편, poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT)는 최근 섬유로 방사되어 카펫, 의류 등으로 응용된 이후 PTT를 주성분으로 하는 bicomponent 멜트블로운 부직포[4], 염색[5] 등의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다.

고분자들을 배합하여 기계적, 물리적, 화학적 성질이 우수한 새로운 고분자 재료를 제조할 때 이들 고분자의 상용성을 증가시켜 줄 수 있는 상용화제의 존재가 필수적인데, 주로 블록이나 그라프트 공중합체들이 많이 이용되고 있다. 이러한 공중합체들은 아주 최소량이 사용되고서도 소기의 목적을 달성할 수 있어야 하는데, 이를 위해서는 이러한 공중합체들은 분자구조상 몇 가지 조건을 만족해야 한다. 예를 들면 계면에 존재하면서 넓은 표면적을 감싸주어야 하고 블렌드되는 고분자들과 아주 잘 섞여야 한다는 것 등이 그것이다. (중략)

폴리에스테르계 고분자를 용융온도 이상에서 가공하면 두 고분자간의 화학적인 상호교환반응이 일어나고, 이러한 상호에스테르 교환반응은 이들의 공중합체를 생성시켜 블렌드계의 상용성을 증대시킬 수 있으며, 구조와 물리적 성질을 상당한 수준까지 변화시킬 수 있기 때문에 용융가공시 중요한 인자가 되고 있다. 일반적으로 상호에스테르 교환반응에 의해 공중합체가 형성될 때 반응초기에는 블록 공중합체가 형성되며, 반응이 진행될수록 랜덤 공중합체가 형성 [1] 되며, 블렌딩 시간, 온도 그리고 조성비에 따라 상호교환방응 정도가 달라지게 된다[2-3].

Poly(phenylene sulfide-co-phenylene sulfide sulfone), PPS/PPSS copolymers were synthesized from p-dichlobenzene(DCB), p-dibromobenzene(DBB), p-diiodobenzene(DIB), 4-chlorophenyl sulfone(CPS) and sodium sulfide as comonomers under high temperature and pressure utilizing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone(NMP) as solvent. The yield of PPS/PPSS copolymer shoed maximum at $190^{\circ}C$ with [DBB]/[CPS] and [DIB]/[CPS] comonomer pair, while [DCB]/[CPS] pair exhibited maximum yield at $230^{\circ}C$. The change of yield is in the order of I>Br>Cl as leaving groups were in accordance with nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction mechanism suggested for the synthesis of PPS type polymers. The molecular weight of PPS/PPSS copolymer was the highest($M_w=8,330g/mol$) with [DBB]/[CPS] comonomers in which [CPS] was 10 mole%. The PPS/PPSS copolymer made with 10 mole% of [CPS] showed about $15^{\circ}C$ higher $T_g$ and $15^{\circ}C$ lower $T_m$ than those of PPS homopolymer, which may be useful from the processing and thermal property point of view. The PPS/PPSS copolymer with 30 mole% of CPS or above did not exhibit Tm. The PPS/PPSS copolymer obtained with comonomer feed ratio of [DBB]/[CPS] = 95/5 mole% under $240^{\circ}C$ showed even higher molecular weight($M_w=10,300g/mole$) than PPS homopolymer made under similar reaction condition, retaining high crystallinity and thermal stability.

The new dinuclear CGC (constrained geometry complexes) with indenyl and methyl sub-stituted indenyl and polymethylene bridge have been synthesized, and the copolymerization of ethylene and styrene has been studied in the presence of methylalumionoxane. The activity of 12-methylene and 9-methylene bridged dinuclear CGC were 4 times higher than that of 6-methylene bridged dinucleay CGC. This result might be understood by the implication that the steric effect rather than the electronic effect nay play a major role to direct the polymerization behavior of the dinuclear CGC. The dinuclear CGCs are very efficient to incorporate styrene in backbone. The styrene contents in the formed co-polymers ranged from 6 to 45 mol% according to the polymerization conditions. The melting temperature of copolymers disappeared at high content of styrene (about 11 mol%) There is no styrene-styrene diblock sequence in copolymers. This result Indicates that the dinuclear CGC are very effective to generate random copolymer of ethylene and styrene.
