폴리아릴레이트(PAr)와 열방성 액정고분자(LCP)블렌드의 상용성과 두 고분자 사이 의 에스터 교환반응을 시차 주사 열분석기 (DSC)와 Fourier transform 적외선 분광분석기 (FT-IR spectroscopy)로 연구하였다. DSC를 이용하여 PAr-LCP 블렌드의 유리전이온도 (Tg)를 관찰한 결과, 두 개의 Tg가 관찰되었다. 측정된 Tg 결과로부터 블렌드 각 상에 녹아 있는 두성분의 상거동을 조사했으며 그결과 LCP가 PAR-rich 상에 녹아 들어간 양이 PAr 이 LCP-rich 상에 녹아 들어간 양보다 더 많음을 알수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 두 고분자 사 이에 부분적으로 상용성이 있음을 의미한다. 액정고분자의 이방성을 고려하여 PAr-LCP 블 렌드의 고분자-고분자 상호작용계수($\chi$12)는 0.069~0.076의 값으로 계산되었다. 두 고분자사 이의 에스터 교환반응를 조사하기 위하여 DSC내에서 열처리한 결과, 열처리 후에 PAr과 LCp의 Tg는 열처리하기 전에 비해 더 큰폭으로 두 Tg의중간값으로 이동하였다. 열처리한 PAr-LCP 블렌드를 FT-IR spectroscopy로 분석한 결과, 순수한 PAr과 LCP에 없는 새로운 에스터기의 특성피이크가 발견되었다. 이와 같은 열분석과 FT-IR spectroscopy 연구 결과 로부터 주어진 열처리 조건에서 PAr과 LCP 사이에 에스터 교환반응이 일어났음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Iron aluminophosphates (FeAlP) with different percentage of iron were synthesized and characterized for their surface and bulk properties. The catalytic activity was determined in the transesterification of diethyl malonate with benzyl alcohol. Benzyl ethylmalonate and dibenzyl malonate were obtained as the only products. FeAlP with 0.025 mole % of iron was found to be distinctly different in its textural and catalytic properties. Formation of diester was found to be favored by the acid sites of intermediate strength. The presence of hydrated alumina and the polycondensed phosphates in the materials reduced the catalytic activity of iron aluminophosphates in transesterification reaction.

Papain hydrolysate of fibroin was found to be mainly composed of several even-numbered peptides that can be produced at a large scale and can be used as a precursor for biological fine-chemicals such as peptide detergents. Thus, the hydrolysate was further modified to synthesize a peptide mixture of glyceryl esters using the identical enzyme for the production of such chemicals. Formation of glyceryl ester of each peptide was confirmed by identifying peaks of the nominal mass shift of +74 Da in mass spectrometry. Analysis of the mass spectra indicated that glyceryl esters of di- and tetra-peptides were the major constituents of the mixture and that alanylglycine was most preferentially esterified. It also suggests that papain prefers dipeptide to tetrapeptide and alanine to serine or tyrosine at $P_2$ position as substrate for glyceryl esterification. The glyceryl esters were recovered using ion exchange resin and the yield of glyceryl esterification recorded was 17.8% by weight.

In this study, the physicochemical properties, emulsifying capacity, moisture content and cytotoxicity of the composite material produced by transesterification reactions of the olive oil (olive oil esters) were investigated for cosmetic applications. Olive oil esters with short (S) and long (L) reaction times were studied. From the TLC-image analysis, composition ratios of the olive oil esters S were found to be 5.2, 24.1, 46.4, and 21.9% for mono-, di-, tri-glyceride, and fatty acid ethyl ester, respectively. Those of the olive oil esters L were 4.1, 24.7, 40.6, and 28.8% for mono-, di-, tri-glyceride, and fatty acid ethyl ester, respectively. The iodine value, acid value, saponification value, unsaponified matter, refractive index, and specific gravity were determined and purity tests were also carried out and normalized to establish standards and testing methods for using olive oil esters in cosmetics. To evaluate their emulsifying capacities, the O/W emulsion was prepared without surfactants and the formation of the emulsified particles were confirmed. After 5 days of applying the olive oil esters to human skin, the skin moisture retention was improved by 13.1% from the initial state. For the evaluation of toxicity on human skin cells, the olive oil esters showed 90% or more of the cell viability at $0.2-200{\mu}g/mL$. These results suggested that olive oil esters can be applied as natural/non-toxic ingredients to cosmetics industries.

In this work, we evaluated catalytic activity of LiOH, $Cu(acac)_2$ and n-butyltin hydroxide oxide hydrate in the early stage of the melt transesterification of isosorbide and bisphenol A as diol monomers and diphenylcarbonate for the melt polymerizaiton of polycarbonate. $Cu(acac)_2$ proved to be the most active catalyst for homopolymerization process, while the catalytic activity of LiOH was higher than the others in case of melt copolymerization depending on the catalytic mechanism and chemical structure of catalyst. We suggested that evaluation of catalytic activity can be used for selection of catalyst system in bio-based copolymerization of polycarbonate.

Polymer-clay nanocomposite containing the low amounts of clay shows improved physical, mechanical properties. In this study, allyl ester prepolymer was synthesised by reactions of the diallyl terephthalate monomers and the 1,3-butanediol monomers. Nanocomposites of allyl ester prepolymer and the two kinds of the organically layered silicate were prepared by using the intercalation method as well as the in-situ polymerization method using. By varying the amount of clay content, curing conditions, and feeding conditions. the nanocomposite was studied using X-ray diffraction. From XRD results, allyl ester-Cloisite 30 B nanocomposite made by the in-situ polymerization method shows better exfoliation behavior compared with the intercalation method. It can be said that the transesterification reaction between functional groups (-OH) of intercalant and monomers results in the increased gallery distance. Also mechanical and thermal properties indicate that the dispersity of clay is an important factor for improving physical properties of the nanocomposite.

In order to obtain PEO with reduced crystallinity, novel PEO derivatives containing carbonate linkages in the main chain have been synthesized by the reaction of various molecular weight poly (ethylene glycol)s (PEGs) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) in the presence of $H_2SO_4$ to yield methyl carbonate terminated PEGs, followed by condensation reaction under vacuum in the presence of titanium isopropoxide (TiP) catalyst. The number average molecular weight of PEGs used was in the range of 200 and 600 g/mol. The structure and compositions of the resulting polymers were characterized by $^1$H-NMR and $^{13}C-NMR$. Their thermal behavior and molecular weight were characterized by DSC/TGA and GPC, respectively.

Production of biodiesel from soybean oil catalyzed by Lewis acidic ionic liquids(ILs) containing metal chloride salts was investigated in this study. Metal chloride salts, such as $SnCl_2$, $ZnCl_2$, $AlCl_3$, $FeCl_3$ and CuCl, were screened for oil transesterification in the range of 363-423 K. Among these metal chlorides, tin chloride showed particularly high catalytic property for the oil transesterification. Similarly, among these Lewis acidic ionic liquid catalysts, $[Me_3NC_2H_4OH]Cl-2SnCl_2$ resulted in a high fatty acid methyl esters(FAMEs) content of 91.1% under the following reaction conditions: 403 K, 14 h, and a molar ratio of 1:12:0.9 (oil:methanol:catalyst). Unlike the pure tin chloride catalysts, Lewis acidic ILs containing tin chloride $[Me_3NC_2H_4OH]Cl-2SnCl_2$ catalyst could be recycled up to five times without any significant loss of activity by separating from the FAMEs with simple decantation. The Lewis acidity and high moisture-stability of this catalyst appeared to be responsible for the excellent catalytic performance. The effects of reaction time and the molar ratio of methanol/catalyst to oil on the FAMEs production were also studied in this work.
