$Poly({\varepsilon}-carbobenzoxy\;L-lysine)/poly(ethylene oxide)/poly({\varepsilon}-carbobenzoxy\;L-lysine)$ (LEL) block copolymers containing $poly({\varepsilon}-carbobenzoxy\;L-lysine)$ (PCLL) as the A component and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the B component were investigated as drug delivery matrix. PCLL homopolymer and LEL block copolymer microspheres containing anticancer drug, cytarabine, were prepared by a solvent evaporation process and the release patterns of cytarabine from the microspheres were investigated in vitro. The size of PCLL homopolymer and LEL block copolymer microspheres was ranged from $0.2\;{\mu}m$ to $1\;{\mu}m$ in diameter and the shape of the microspheres was almost round. The release pattern of cytarabine from the block copolymer microspheres was dependent on the mole % of PEO of the block copolymers.

The crystal structunes of poly(ethylene terephthalate-eo-1, 4 cyciohexylene dimethylene terephthalate), P(ET CT), copolymers were studied by CPMAS solid state NMR spectroscopy. With the estimation of methylene resonance peaks, the bulkier CT component of the copolymer in the range of 0 20 mol% CT is excluded from the ET crystal lattice, whereas smaller ET component of the copolymer in the range of 66 100 mol% CT can be partially included into the CT crystal lattice. Those different crystallization behavior can be explained with the difference in chain bulkiness and crystal lattice dimension be tween two copolymer compurwnts.

The ytterbium catalyst immobilized on the cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine/styrene) copolymer (P/S-Yb) was applied in the Mannich-type, three component one-pot synthesis of $\beta$-aminoketones. This catalytic system showed excellent catalytic activity and selectivity which resulted in the exclusive formation of $\beta$-aminoketone. The applicability of this immobilized catalyst system was shown by the reusability test and again highlighted by the synthesis of a $\beta$-aminoketone library using a broad range of substrates.

The resistive-type humidity sensors were prepared from the copolymers of [2-[(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl]propylamonium bromide (MEPAB), [2-[(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-2-hydroxyethyl]dimethylammonium bromide (MEHDAB), 2- [(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (METAC), and n-butyl methylacrylate (MBA). Four component copolymers MEPAB/BMA/MEHDAB/METAC=4/4/1/1, 3/5/1/1, 2/6/1/1, 1/7/1/1 crosslinked with blocked-isocyanate on Ag/Pd electrode/alumina substrate showed a good durability at high humidities. The various electrical properties such as frequency dependency, temperature dependency, hysteresis, response time and water durability were examined. In the case of copolymer composed of MEPAB/BMA/MEHDAB/METAC=2/6/1/1, the resistance varied from $1.4\;M{\Omega}$ to $2.9\;k{\Omega}$ at $25^{\circ}C$ in the range of $30{\sim}90\;%RH$ and this copolymers showed a good linearity and low hysteresis.

Two polymeric interfaces with single component homo-polymers were prepared to control the orientation of block copolymer thin-film nanostructures. Poly(4-acetoxy styrene) (OH-PAS) and poly(4-methoxy styrene) (OH-PMS) which have the average chemical composition of polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) were precisely synthesized through nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization. After dehydration reactions between above polymers and SiOx layers of silicon wafers, the polymer-modified interface induced partial (30%) vertical orientation of PS-b-PMMA thin film in the case of OH-PMS and wholly parallel orientation in the case of OH-PAS. Chemical compositions of polymeric interface layers are regarded as the key parameter to control the orientation of nanostructures of block copolymer thin film.

ABA-type block copolymers composed of poly(L-leucine)(PLL) as the A component and poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) as the B component were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of L-leucine N-carboxyanhydride initiated by primary amino group located at both ends of PEG chain. A silver sulfadiazine(AgSD)-impregnated wound dressing of sponge-type was prepared by the lyophilization method. Morphological structure of this wound dressing obtained by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) was composed of a dense skin layer and a macroporous inner sponge layer. Equilibrium water content(EWC) of wound dressing was above 10%. It increased with an increased of PEO content in the block copolymer due to the hydrophilicity of PEO. AgSD release from AgSD- impregnated wound dressing in PBS buffer(pH=7.4) was dependent on PEG composition in the block copolymer. Therefore, EWC and release of AgSD can be control by PEG composition. Antibacterial capacity of AgSD-impregnated wound dressing was examined in agar plate against Pseudmonas aeruginosa and Stapplococus aruous. Cytotoxicity of the wound dressing was evaluated by studing mouse skin fibroblast(L929). From the behavior of antimicrobial releasing and the investigation of the suppression of bacterial proliferation, it was supposed that the wound dressing containing antibiotics could protect the wound surfaces from bacterial invasion to suppress the bacterial proliferation effectively. In cytotoxicity observation, cellular damage was reduced by the control led released of AgSD from the LEL sponge matrix of AgSD-medicated wound dressing. In vivo test, granulous tissue formation and wound contraction or the AgSD and DHEA impregnated wound dressing were aster than any other groups.

A novel nitrogen-phosphorus compound, diphenyl piperazine-1,4-diylbis(methylphosphinate)(DPPMP) was synthesized via a two step reaction and its flame retarding efficiency as a single component additive was investigated. The success of synthesis was confirmed by FTIR and $^1H$ and $^{31}P$ NMR analysis. The product was mixed with polycarbonate (PC), poly(butylene terephtalate) (PBT), ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymer (EVA), and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS). The flame-retarding efficiency was evaluated using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and the UL-94 vertical test methods. The addition of DPPMP enhanced the flame retardancy of the polymers and the V-0 ratings were obtained for the polymers examined in this study at a loading of 7-30 wt%. The gas-phase flame retardancy mode of action was suggested for this material from the thermogrametry experiment results.

Hybrid thin films composed of block copolymer(BCP) and $TiO_2$ with various morphologies on the nanoscale were fabricated using self-assembly of block copolymer combined with sol-gel process. The factors governing morphology changes considered in this study are block copolymer composition, selectivity of solvent and the inclusion of an additive. We also investigated the efficiency of photoluminescence for selected films with different morphologies. Micelle or nanowire structure can be derived from the self-assembly of poly (styrene-block-4-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) depending on the relative selectivity of the solvent for the two blocks, and the titanium tetraisopropoxide ($Ti{OCH (CH_3)_2}_4$, TTIP) is coordinated with nitrogen in P4VP block. Addition of a third component 3-pentadecylphenol into the BCP/sol-gel mixture solution induces morphology change as a result of the change of relative volume fraction of the BCP. We confirmed that the efficiency of $TiO_2$ fluorescence changes for films depending on morphologies.

Water-soluble terpolymer of acrylamide, diacetone acrylamide, and acrylic acid was prepared by redox initiators in aqueous medium. One component photoresist was synthesized by reaction of terpolymer with 4-azidoaniline. By blending the aqueous acrylamide/diacetone acrylamide copolymer solution with bisazide, 4,4'-diazidostilbene -2,2'-disulfuric acid sodium salt, two component photoresist was prepared. The photosensitivity per azido group unit mole of one component photoresist was 4 times higher than that of two component photoresist. The dot-type pattern was successfully achieved with one component photoresist at low exposure energy, which is prospective to be used as black matrix negative photoresist.

Surface mount technology is the biggest theme in the area of deιIronic component. To miniatunze an electronic component, s such as ferrite chip inductor, the cer뼈lic wet process for green-sheet lamination and/or screen printing method through a s solvent medium system is widely used. The preparation and characterization of NiCuZn Ferrite (NCZF) shurry and the green s sheet using the water mixed binder system has been studied. The 21 vol% of NCZF slurry was prepared by a ball milling. The p polyacrylic vinyl copolymer (Mw; 60,000) was used as a binder. Th$\xi$ mixture of distilled water, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 2l butoxy ethanol was used as a dispersion medium. The water content of medium varied from about 40% to 80%. As the results. Thc disp$\xi$rston stability of the NCZF slurry was attributed to the free polymer rather than the electrostatic force of the particle. T The viscosity of the NCZF slurry was greatly depended on the ratio of water content in the medium.
