In this study, TEOS was used as a silica source, and a triblock copolymer (P123) was used as a template to produce mesoporous silica with a well-ordered hexagonal mesopore array through a self-assembly method and hydrothermal process under acidic condition. (Surfactant-extracted SBA-15). Surfactant-extracted SBA-15 showed the particle shape of a short rod with a size of approximately 980 nm. The surface area and pore diameter were 730 m²g^-1 and 70.8 Å, respectively. Meanwhile, aminosilane (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, APTES) was grafted into the mesopores using a post-synthesis method. Mesoporous silica (APTES-SBA-15) modified with aminosilane had a well-ordered pore structure (p6mm) and well-maintained the particle shape of short rods. The surface area and pore diameter of APTES-SBA-15 decreased to 350 m²g^-1 and 60.7 Å, respectively. APTES-modified mesoporous silica was treated with a solution of rare earth metal ions (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺) to synthesize a mesoporous silica material in which rare earth metal complexes were introduced into the mesopores. (Eu/APTES-SBA-15, Tb/APTES-SBA-15) These materials exhibited characteristic photoluminescence spectra by λ_ex=250 nm. (⁵D₄→⁷F₅ (543.5 nm), ⁵D₄→⁷F₄ (583.5 nm), ⁵D₄→⁷F₃ (620.2 nm) transitions for Tb/APTES-SBA-15; ⁵D₀→⁷F₀ (577.7 nm), ⁵D₀→⁷F₁ (592.0 nm), ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ (614.9 nm), ⁵D₀→⁷F₃ (650.3 nm) and ⁵D₀→⁷F₄ (698.5 nm) transitions for Eu/APTES-SBA-15)

Recently, it was reported that chitosan or APTMS(3-aminopropyltrimethoxysila ne) treatment to cotton using the simple pad-dry-cure method has potential to prepare textile materials for military chemical warfare protective clothing. However, it is not confirmed which method is more efficient. Therefore, this study aims to quantitatively compare detoxification properties of chitosan treated cotton fabric with those of APTMS treated cotton fabric. Detoxification properties were evaluated using the well-known organic phosphorous nerve agent stimulant, diisopropylfluorophosphate(DF P). With the same amount of chitosan and APTMS on the surface of the cotton fabrics, APTMS treated cotton fabric exhibited 10% higher detoxification properties than chitosan treated cotton fabric based on the rate of DFP hydrolysis and half-live of DFP calculated from the DFP decontamination ratios of the treated cotton fabrics through time. Therefore, APTMS treatment can be more efficient method to prepare the textile materials for military protective clothing than chitosan treatment.

In this study, an amorphous silica was functionalized with aminosilane, N-[(3-trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (2NS) and the late transition metal catalysts including ($(DME)NiBr_2$ and $PdCl_2$(COD)) were subsequently immobilized on the functionalized amorphous silica for norbornene polymerization. Effects of the polymerization temperature, polymerization time, Al/Ni molar ratio, and type of co-catalyst on norbornene polymerization were investigated. Unsupported late transition metal catalysts did not show any activities for norbornene polymerization. However, the $SiO_2$/2NS/Ni catayst with MAO system, with increasing polymerization temperature, increased the polymerization activity and decreased the molecular weight of the polynorbornene (PNB). Furthermore, the catalyst when increasing polymerization temperature caused the decrease in both the polymerization activity and molecular weight of PNB. This confirmed that the stability of $SiO_2$/2NS/Ni at a high temperature was greater than that of $SiO_2$/2NS/Pd. Also the longer polymerization time resulted in the higher conversion of norbornene for both catalysts. When the Al : Ni molar ratio was 1000 : 1, the highest activity (15.3 kg-PNB/($({\mu}mol-Ni^*hr$)) but lowest molecular weight ($M_n$ = 124,000 g/mol) of PNB were achieved. Also $SiO_2$/2NS/Ni catalyst with borate/TEAL resulted in diminishing the polymerization activity and molecular weight of PNB with increasing the polymerization temperature.

The retention data of twenty one monosubstituted phenols in the eluent systems containing 30∼70% of methanol or acetonitrile as organic modifiers, on $ C_{18}$ and Phenyl columns were collected to investigate the effect of the substituted groups on the retention of phenols. The capacity factors of the solutes except amino phenols are greater on $ C_{18}$ than on Phenyl column. And all the solutes have shown greater capacity factors in methanol-water than that in acetonitrile-water as a mobile phase. Generally the elution order between meta and para isomers of monosubstituted phenols in consistent (p < m) regardless of the polarity of the substituted group. But the elution order between ortho and meta isomers of phenol varies with regard to the polarity of the substituted group. The retention of the monosubstituted phenols has been influenced by the interaction between the solute and unreacted silanol of columns as well as the interaction between the solute and $ C_{18}$ or phenyl group of columns. And then, the effect of unreacted silanol on the retention of the monosubstituted phenols is greater on $ C_{18}$ than on Phenyl column. And the greater hydrogen bonding acceptor basicity(${\beta}$) of the substituted group is, the greater this effect is. The relationship between the retention of the monosubstituted phenols and their parameters such as van der Waals volume(VWV) and hydrogen bonding acceptor basicity(${\beta}$) has been investigated. The good linearity has been observed in the plot log k' vs. (1.01VWV/100-1.84${\beta}$). In consequence, the retention of the monosubstituted phenols on $ C_{18}$ and Phenyl columns can be easily predicted by the parameter (1.01VWV/100-1.84${\beta}$).

The new complex catalysts were synthesized by the reaction of titanium compounds (titanium chloride or titanium butoxide) and diamines in this work, and they showed very high catalytic activities for the cyclododecatriene (CDT) synthesis from 1,3-butadiene through trimerization. CDT synthetic reaction was performed in an autoclave reactor, and the effects of reaction temperature, type of catalyst, catalyst amount added into the system, the mole ratio of Al/Ti and immobilization method were investigated on the yield of product CDT. The titanium complex catalyst combined to diamine with 1:1 ratio showed high selectivity to CDT more than 90%. The ratio of TTT-CDT/TTC-CDT isomers in the product revealed as different values, depending on the type of diamine combined to titanium and Ti/diamine ratios. Those homogeneous complexes could be used as a heterogenized catalyst after anchoring on the supports, and the immobilized titanium catalyst retained the catalytic activities for several times in the recycled reactions without leaching. The carbon support containing titanium has exhibited superior activity to the silica support. Especially, when the titanium complex was anchored on the support which was fabricated by the hydrolysis of tripropylaminosilane itself, the resulting titanium catalyst showed the highest BD conversion and CDT selectivity.

Clay-loaded polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites were fabricated via melt-compounding of two molecular weight ($M_w$) PPs (140 and 410 kg/mol) and octadecylammine-treated clay (C18MMT), with the assistance of maleic anhydride-grafted PP(PP-MAH), respectively, at $170^{\circ}C$ and $190^{\circ}C$. At both melt-compounding temperatures, the low-$M_w$ PP tends to easily diffuse into silicate layers, especially in the presence of the mobile PP-MAH, resulting in a marked increase in silicate layer spacing (above 58 $\AA$), when compared to 27 $\AA$ in the high-$M_w$ PP-based system. Due to relatively lower melt-viscosity of the low-$M_w$ PP-based system, however, there existed quasi-stacked clay aggregates with a thickness of 60~80 nm, while the high-$M_w$ PP-based nanocomposites showed relatively homogeneous dispersion of clays. The different morphologies are mainly related to changes in the viscoelastic properties of PPs, dependent on the processing temperature and their $M_{w}s$. The slight differences in nanocomposites induce discernible crystallization and mechanical behaviors. High-$M_w$ PP-based nanocomposites containing 1~3 wt% C18MMT showed improvement in both tensile strength and modulus, while maintaining the inherent ductility of pure PP.
