4종류의 새로운 형태의 열방성 액정폴리우레탄을 4,4'-Bis(5-hydroxypentoxy)biphenyl (BP5)와 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate (2,6-TDI), 2,5-tolylene diisocyanate (2,5-TDI), 및 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI), 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate (1,4-PDI) 의 중부가 반응에 의해 합성하였다. 단량체 BP5은 스멕틱상을 형성하였으며 1,4-PDI/BP5을 제외한 나머지 폴리우레탄에서는 모두 액정성을 나타내었다. 생성된 폴리우레탄의 구조는 FT-IR과 ^1H$ NMR 스펙트럼으로 확인하였고 열적 성질은 DSC와 편광현미경으로 관찰하였다.

Numerous possible applications for $ZrO_2$ nanotubes exist such as for catalyst support structures, for sensing or for applications as a solid state electrolyte. Especially, because of a large specific surface area, high efficiency for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) application at low temperature can be expected for nanotublar structures in even small size. A zirconium precursor, Tetrakis (ethylmethylamino) zirconium, TEMAZr and $H_2O$ oxidant were used to deposit$ZrO_2$ thin films on an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates having sub-100nm cylindrical pores by atomic layer deposition (ALD) in the temperature range of 150~250$^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structures of as-prepared and post-annealed $ZrO_2$ nanotubes were characterized by x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared samples at $150^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$ were showed amorphous, whereas a mixed phase of tetragonal, monoclinic and amorphous polymorph was observed at $250^{\circ}C$. In the bulk, zirconia remains monoclinic phase up to $1,175^{\circ}C$, however, $ZrO_2$ nanotubes were showed tetragonal phase upon post thermal treatments merely at $400^{\circ}C$. This trend may be indicative of high-curvature surfaces of nanotubes and thereby the presence of intrinsic compressive strain. The amount of amorphous structures in the mixed phase as well as as-grown $ZrO_2$ nanotubes were also gradually decreased by subsequent heat treatment.

Thermotropic liquid crystal polymer (TLCP)-reinforced poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) composites were prepared by melt processing. The improvement in the mechanical properties and the processability of the PBT/TLCP composites was attributed to the reinforcing effect by TLCP phase and its well distribution in the PBT matrix. X-ray diffraction results demonstrated that a slow cooling process leads to the thicker lamellar structures and the formation of more regular crystallites in the composites. The incorporation of TLCP improves not only the tensile strength and flexural modulus but also the heat distortion temperature (HDT) of the PBT/TLCP composites. The HDT values of the composites were dependent on TLCP content. The improvement in the HDT values of the PBT/TLCP composites may be explained in terms with the increased flexural modulus, the development of more regular crystalline structures, and the enhancement of the ability of the composites to sustain the storage modulus by TLCP phase. In addition, the simple additivity rule makes it possible to predict the HDT values of the PBT/TLCP composites.

Properties of hafnium nitride (HfN) coatings are affected by deposition conditions, most often by the sputtering technique. Appropriate use of different magnetron sputtering modes allows control of the structural development of the film, thereby enabling adjustment of its properties. This study compared properties of HfN coatings deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS), mid-frequency direct current magnetron sputtering (mfMS), and inductively coupled plasma-assisted magnetron sputtering (ICPMS) systems. The microstructure, crystalline, and mechanical properties of these HfN coatings were investigated by field emission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and nanoindentation measurements. HfN coatings deposited using ICPMS showed smooth and highly dense microstructures, whereas those deposited by dcMS showed rough and columnar structures. Crystalline structures of HfN coatings deposited using ICPMS showed a single δ-HfN phase, whereas those deposited using dcMS and mfMS showed a mixed δ-HfN and HfN_0.4 phases. Their performance were increased in the order of dcMS < mfMS < ICPMS, with ICPMS achieving a value of 47.0 GPa, surpassing previously reported results.

We prepared side-chain liquid crystalline polymers comprising two monomeric units, one having a mesogenic side group that could form a smectic mesophase and the other having a phenolic group attached to the polymer backbone via a thermally reversible urethane bond. The urethane linkage between the isocyanate and phenol groups was stable at room temperature, but it cleaved to generate an isocyanate group when the temperature was increased. When annealed, the copolymers in their smectic mesophases became insoluble in common organic solvents, suggesting the formation of network structures. XRD analysis showed that the annealed polymers maintained their smectic LC structures. The crosslinking process probably proceeded via the reaction of the dissociated isocyanate groups. Some of the isocyanate groups would have first reacted with moisture in the atmosphere to yield amino groups, which underwent further reaction with other isocyanate groups, resulting in the formation of urea bonds. We presume that only polymer chains in the same layer were crosslinked by the reaction of the isocyanate groups, resulting in the formation of a layered polymer network structure. Reactions between the layers did not occur because of the wide layer spacing.
