Nanocomposites of polyurethane were prepared from inorganic nano particles, $Na^+-montmorillonite$ (MMT), silica, $CaCO_3$, and surface modified MMT and their properties were investigated. It was shown that the molecular weight and polydispenity of nanocomposites of polyurethane were 20000 to 28000 and 1.0 to 2.0, respectively. d-Spacing for nanocomposites of MMT were increased than that of pure MMT. Initial degradation temperature of nanocomposites were 250 to $280^{\circ}C$. And also, the range of weight loss for nanocomposites were decreased and the end of thermal degradation was observed at higher temperatures about $50^{\circ}C$. The elongation at break for $CaCO_3$ filled nanocomposites were the highest among the nanocomposites used in this study. studied. It was found that the tensile strength increased with increasing the filler contents while the silica nanocomposite exhibited the lowest increase and the $CaCO_3$ nanocomposite the highest.

Generally, polymer materials are not air-permeable and hydrophilic. In addition, they do not possess anti-fungal property. Hydrophilicity, air-permeability, and anti-fungal properties of new composites consisting of polymer, ceramic nanoparticles, and silver ion were investigated by contact angle measurements, air permeation time, and cell culture. The hydrophilic, air-permeable, and anti-fungal composites can be used in health care industry.

MAPTAC-MMT was prepared by exchanging the mineral cation (sodium montmorillonite) with 3-(methacryloyl amino) propyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, thus rendering the mineral organophilic and forming polymerizable moieties directly bonded to the surface of montmorillonite (MMT). Thermoresponsive nanocomposites (PNIPAM-MMT) were synthesized by polymerization of N-isopropyl acrylamide in an aqueous suspension of MAPTAC-MMT at room temperature. Thermoresponsive nanocomposites exhibited a low critical solution temperature (LCST) similar to unmodified poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM). The LCST of thermoresponsive nanocomposites decreased in proportion to the amount of MAPTAC-MMT. TGA results showed that the thermal stability of thermoresponsive nanocomposites was improved compared to PNIPAM itself the thermoresponsive polymer.

In this work, the surface of hydrophilic cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) was modified precisely by varying amounts of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to produce CNF-based particle surfactants. We found that a critical CTAB density was required to generate amphiphilic CTAB-grafted CNF (CNF-CTAB). Compared to pristine CNF, CNF-CTAB was highly efficient at stabilizing oil-in-water Pickering emulsions. To evaluate their effectiveness as particle surfactants, the surface coverage of oil-in-water emulsion droplets was determined by changing the CNF-CTAB concentration in the aqueous phase. Furthermore, styrene-in-water stabilized by CNF-CTAB surfactants was thermally polymerized to produce CNF-stabilized polystyrene (PS) particles, offering a great potential for various applications including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and petrochemicals.

Carbon fiber reinforced composites(CFRP) were fabricated with phenolic resin matrix by hot press molding, and its surface was modified by the ion-assisted reaction process. When we tested the friction coefficient and wear rate variation and observed the effect of fibers with respect to friction and wear characteristics, the amount of pitch based carbon fiber was 45wt% and the average friction coefficient was the lowest at 0.12. When the amount of ion-irradiation was $1\times10^{l6}ions/cm^2$, the friction coefficient of the composites was about 0.12 and the wear mode was stable, whereas, the friction coefficient of the non-treated composites was about 0.16 and the wear mode was very unstable. But if the amount of ion-irradiation was $5\times10^{l6}ions/cm^2$$1\times10^{l6}ions/cm^2$ion-irradiation case.

본 연구에서 matrix간의 계면 결합력을 불리하게 작용하는 Wax성분이나 Lignin, Hemi-Cellulose등의 제거를 위해 화학적 개질방법중인 NaOH, Acetic acid, Silane으로 처리하여 기질 고분자의 계면의 영향을 알아보고 SEM을 이용하여 형태학적 변화와 열적특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 형태학적 변화에서는 NaOH, Acetic acid 처리보다 Silane처리가 계면결합력이 증가하여 기계적 물성이 증가되었다는 것을 볼수 있었고, 열분석에서는 NaOH, Acetic acid, Silanec 처리가 유사하게 나타났지만, 복합재를 전처리하지 않은것보다 기질고분자와 천연섬유간의 계면 결합은 전처리하는 것이 결합에 있어서 좋다는 결과를 확인하였다.

1. 서론 : 이온 복합막은 투과증발을 통한 유기수용액의 탈수에 있어서 높은 수투과유량과 선택도를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 장시간 운전시에 이온 복합막은 막표면에 있는 금속 counterion이 feed에 씻겨버리기 때문에 분리능의 급격한 감소를 띠게 된다. counterion이 유기물일 경우에는 막속으로 확산되어 우기농축물에 포함될 문제가 있다. counterion이 고분자이면, 막 효능의 안정성이 증가되지만 막 제조과정이 다소 어려워진다. 아크릴산과 스티렐폰산을 포함하고 있는 개질 PAN막을 이용한 피리딘 수용액의 탈수에 관한 이전의 연구에서, 피드내의 피리딘과 막내의 산 기능기 사이에 형성된 in-situ complex가 막의 투과물사이에 특별한 반응이 없거나 막과 주요 투과 물간에 수소결합이 있는 막보다 더 좋은 탈수 효능을 나타냄이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 포스페이트를 함유하고 있는 폴리아크릴로니트릴 막의 제조와 피리딘 수용액의 탈수 효능에 대해 언급할 것이다.

현재 에탄올 분리공정에서 사용하고 있는 투과증발분리 공정은 7-10%의 fermentation broths로 부터 나온 feed를 재래식 증류법으로 약 95%의 등비 혼합물까지 농축한 후 가교 polyvinylalcohol(PVA)를 사용하여 투과증발을 행하여 99.5%의 에탄올을 제조하고 있다. 현재 세계적으로 가장 많이 쓰이고 있느느 투과증발막으로는 독일의 GFT사로부터 개발되었고 PVA막을 PAN 부직포에 coating하여 제조하고 plate and frame type의 module을 써서 pervatporation unit를 생산하고 있다. 이러한 PVA 막보다 우수하며 여러 유기물 범위에서 사용가능한 막을 제조하기 위하여 많은 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 이같은 개량된 투과증발막을 제조하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 천연에 풍부히 존재하는 천연고분자인 키토산을 이용하였다.

Interest in hydrogen production to respond to climate change is increasing. Until now, hydrogen has been mainly produced through the SMR (Steam Methane Reforming) process using natural gas. A large amount of CO₂ is emitted in the hydrogen production process through SMR, and the gas flow including CO₂ generated in the SMR process has different characteristics for each emission source, so it is important to apply a suitable CO₂ capture process. In the case of PSA tail gas or synthesis gas, the applicability of an amine-based process has been confirmed or demonstrated close to a commercial level. However, in the case of the flue gas generated from the reformer, it is still difficult to apply the conventional amine-based process because the partial pressure of CO₂ is relatively low. Energy-saving innovative absorbents such as phase separation absorbents can be a solution to these difficulties.

In recent years, researches on organic-inorganic coating films have conducted a nanocomposite system composed of organic resin matrices having excellent flexibility and chemical stability and inorganic materials having excellent mechanical properties. The o-phenylphenoxyethyl acrylate (OPPEA) used as the acrylate monomer has a high refractive index of 1.58, and the bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate (BAEDA) has a low refractive index but improves the chemical stability of the organic resin. In addition, zirconia used as an inorganic material exhibits excellent durability and optical properties. In this study, the BAEDA contents in acrylate monomer were controlled to produce a film with suitable optical transparency. And optimum conditions were established by comparing the changes in surface properties of PET films detected with pencil hardness tester, Abbe's refractometer, and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The hydrophobicity and the dispersibility of zirconia in acrylate monomer were much improved after modification with ${\gamma}$-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), which is a silane coupling agent. And the existence of ester C=O bond peak at $1716cm^{-1}$ introduced by MPS through FT-IR ATR spectrophotometer confirmed the completion of surface modification of zirconia with MPS. In addition, the presence of silicon atom on the surface modified zirconia was also proved using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. When the photocurable hybrid coating was prepared by introducing chemically modified zirconia into acrylate monomer, the refractive index of this coated PET film was improved by 1.2%, compared to the only acrylate coated PET film. The homogeneous distribution of zirconia in acrylate coating layer on PET film was also identified through SEM/EDS mapping analysis technique.
