Objectives: This study investigated the effect of the strength and wetting characteristics of adhesives on the bond strength to dentin. The experimental adhesives containing various ratios of hydrophobic, low-viscosity Bis-M-GMA, with Bis-GMA and TEGDMA, were made and evaluated on the mechanical properties and bond strength to dentin. Materials and Methods: Five experimental adhesives formulated with various Bis-GMA/Bis-MGMA/TEGDMA ratios were evaluated on their viscosity, degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS), and microtensile bond strength (MTBS). The bonded interfaces were evaluated with SEM and the solubility parameter was calculated to understand the wetting characteristics of the adhesives. Results: Although there were no significant differences in the DC between the experimental adhesives at 48 hr after curing (p > 0.05), the experimental adhesives that did not contain Bis-GMA exhibited a lower FS than did those containing Bis-GMA (p < 0.05). The experimental adhesives that had very little to no TEGDMA showed significantly lower MTBS than did those containing a higher content of TEGDMA (p < 0.05). The formers exhibited gaps at the interface between the adhesive layer and the hybrid layer. The solubility parameter of TEGDMA approximated those of the components of the primed dentin, rather than Bis-GMA and Bis-M-GMA. Conclusions: To achieve a good dentin bond, a strong base monomer, such as Bis-GMA, cannot be completely replaced by Bis-M-GMA for maintaining mechanical strength. For compatible copolymerization between the adhesive and the primed dentin as well as dense cross-linking of the adhesive layer, at least 30% fraction of TEGDMA is also needed.

Porous poly(propylene) supported gel polymer electrolytes (GPE) were synthesized by thermal polymerization of DEGDMA [Di(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate] in electrolyte solutions (1 M solution of $LiPF_6$ in EC/DEC 1 : 1 mixture) at $70^{\circ}C$. AC impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were used to evaluate its ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability window of the GPE membranes. Lithium ion battery (LIB) cells were also fabricated with $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$/graphite and GPE membranes via thermal polymerization process. Through the thermal polymerization, self sustaining GPE membranes with sufficient ionic conductivities (over $10^{-3}\;S/cm$) and electrochemical stabilities. The LIB cell with 5% monomer showed the best rate-capability and cycleability.

Leucine zipper motif consists of multiple periodic leucine residues, which forms amphipathic alpha helix. The hydrophobic nature of leucine zipper motif can dimerize proteins which contain this motif. Leucine zipper motif addition at C-terminus of single-chain Fv (ScFv) antibody induces its dimerization. Since the dimeric ScFv antibody contains two antigen binding sites (bivalency) like Y-shaped complete antibody, it could increase avidity. As a result, it could show higher antigen binding activity than monomeric ScFv antibodies. Based on this concept, monomeric chicken 8C3 ScFv antibody previously developed from chicken hybridoma was dimerized by the addition of leucine zipper motif at C-terminus of ScFv antibody. The dimeric 8C3 ScFv antibody specifically reacted with Eimerian sporozoite which causes Avian Coccidiosis. As expected, dimeric 8C3 ScFv antibody showed 3-folds higher antigen binding activity than monomer due to increased avidity. In addition, protien yields of dimer expression were 2-folds higher than monomer.

Macroporous Poly(Methacrylic acid-co-Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate) Rods were in situ thermal initialized within a empty column($3.9{\times}150mm$) by free radical polymerization. The polymerization mixture was consisted of monomer, cross-linking monomer, porogenic solvent, initiator and control the ratio of these materials, column efficiency could be developed. Caffeine and tryptophan as separation substances and the retention mechanism of this kind of monolithic column was mainly hydrogen bond function.

Graft copolymerization of styrene and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to the peroxidized polypropylene (PP) fabric with E-beam in $O_2$ atmosphere was carried out in vapor phase with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. The degree of grafting of copolymers was increased with the increase of the reaction temperature and the highest degree of grafting was obtained at $70^{\circ}C$ with styrene, and at $80^{\circ}C$ with GMA. The highest degree of grafting of styrene grafted PP according to reaction time was higher than that of GMA grafted PP. In vapor phase graft polymerization, the degree of grafting of copolymers according to water composition in monomer mixture was effected by the boiling temperature of monomers.

This studies have been carried out to find anticrease finishing method other than urea formaldehyde polymerization method which the author had done it with his former report. Acrylic amide polymerization method with water solubility controlling device was developed in this parer and the obtained results are as followings. 1. Poor anticrease silk textile could improve as much as 25% than original fabric. 2. Light density with high twisted silk textiles may improve a few per cent increase of anticrease, because they held good anticrease nature as well as polyester fabric. 3. There was no significant stiffness change after such finish. 4. This finish is recommended to carry after dyeing process either yarn dye or cloth dyeing. 5. The finished textile with this method is recommended to wash with dry cleanning method.

In this study, polymer additives were extracted and separated by Soxhlet extraction method and the dissolution-precipitation method from a polycarbonate (optical grade) which completely absorbed UV light below 390 nm. Analytical techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, and HPLC were applied to analyze additives in polycarbonate. Separated materials from the polycarbonate may be a complex mixture containing additives such as UV stabilizer, antioxidants (primary and secondary), monomers, and oligomers. Several compounds such as bisphenol A, Irganox 1010, and Cyasorb UV-5411 were identified by chromatograms and UV spectra obtained from RP HPLC analysis using Bondapak $C_{18}$ column, methanol mobile phase, and a photodiode array (PDA) detector. Also, the content of UV-5411 in the polycarbonate was about 0.12 wt% by a quantitative analysis through UV spectroscopy.

We investigated the change of mechanical properties of UP using mixture of SM with VAc or MA that have low glass transition temperature when polymerized instead of SM only for diluents of UP. In case of using mixture of SM/MA, it was elucidated that the toughness of UP was more improved than using SM only. But in case of SM/VAc, it was observed that the content of mixture could not affect on toughness. It was concluded that these results are caused by the effect of each diluents mixtures on stress-relaxation due to phase separation and on decrease glass transition temperature of UP is quite different from each other.

지금까지 우리는 환상 단량체(cyclic monomer)를 이용한 macromonomer의 다양한 합성 방법론에 대해 고찰해 왔다. 리빙 개환 중합(iving ring-opening polymerization)이 좁은 분자량 분포 및 예견할 수 있는 well-defined 구조를 갖는 macromonomer들을 합성할 수 있는 최상의 방법임은 주지의 사실이다. 또한 이렇게 합성된 macromonomer들을 이용한 graft 공중합체의 합성은 이미 언급한 바와 같이 다방면에 사용되고 있다. 다음으로 중요한 점은 많은 과학자들이 과학적 용어(scientific term)의 사용에 있어서 사용자들에게 많은 혼돈을 주고 있다는 사실이다. 예를들면 macromonomer는 Macromer$^{(R)}$ 혹은 macromolecular monomer등과 같은 의미이지만 어느 한가지로 통일되지 못하고 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 덧붙이자면 macromonomer는 기능화된 고분자(functionalized polymer) 혹은 넓은 의미의 'telechelic polymer'의 범주에 속한다. 본래 telechelic polymer란 분자 말단에 두개의 반응성기를 갖는 고분자나 oligomer를 일컫는 말로서 기능성 고분자(functionalized polymer)의 범주에 속한다. 이러한 사실들을 고려해 볼때 macromonomer는 중합이 일어날 수 있는 반응성 기를 가진 기능성 고분자 혹은 telechelic 고분자이다. 또한 많은 사람들이 macroinitiator와의 상이점을 구별치 못하는 경우가 있다. 물론 macroinitiator는 보통 block 공중합체를 제조하는데 이용되고 있는 반면 macromonomer는 graft 공중합체 합성에 사용되는 고분자 또는 oligomer이다.

Sulfonated polystyrene-divinylbenzene(PS-DVB) copolymer membranes were prepared using different diluents (toluene, cyclohexane, cyclohexanol), various diluent ratio and DVB contents. And initial fluxes of organic acids were investigated by varying pH and initial concentration. As a results, water content and ion-exchange capacity decreased with increasing DVB concetration. Among used diluents, cyclohexanol was the most efficient for building up the highest water content and ion-exchange capacity. In the experiment of permeation, carboxylic acid such as formic acid and acetic acid showed higher fluxes when pH was lower than pKa and amino add such as L-alanine showed minimum flux when pH was isoelectric value. The relationaship between initial fluxes and initial concentrations has been expressed by saturation kinetics.
