The antimicrobial activities of the copolymer of N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-diallyl ammonium chloride (DMDAAC) and acrylamide(AA) were investigated. A series of copolymers with various ratios of DMDAAC and AA were prepared by free radical initiation via an intra-intermolecular propagation mechanism, ie, cyclopolymerization, and the antimicrobial activities of the prepared copolymers were measured by minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) test. The copolymers were, then, methylolated under basic condition for reactivity with hydroxyl group of cellulose. Both antimicrobial activity and fastness to laundering of the cotton fabrics finished using the methylolated copolymers were evaluated. From the results it was shown that the copolymers with different ratios of DMDAAC and AA have MIC values in the range of 1∼100ppm. As the ratio of AA in the copolymers increases, the anitmicrobial activity decreases. The fastness of the cotton fabric finished by the methyolated copolymers to 10 repeated launderings in anionic commercial detergent is good enough to show colony reduction above 90％ regardless of DMDAAC and AA ratios.

Synthesis of novel polymeric ligands based on myo-inositol was performed. Cyclopolymerization, whose mechanism and the cyclic structure were proved, was first attempted to build a conformationally rigid inositol polymer. Comparative spectroscopic methods were introduced to verify the conformation of the prepared cyclohexane polymers. A conformationally rigid polymeric ligand was successfully prepared using myo-inositol carbonate.

The polymerization of 4, 4-bis(acetoxymethyl)-1, 6-heptadiyne (BAH) was carried out by MoCl5 and WCl6 with various organometallic cocatalysts. MoCl5-based catalysts were more effective than WCl6-based ones for the cyclopolymerization of BAH. Poly(BAH) was characterized to have polymer backbone with conjugated double bond and cyclic structure by IR, UV-visible, and 1H-and 13C NMR spectroscopies. The polymer was stable up to 310 ℃ and 5 % weight loss show up at 350 ℃. The resulting dark violet polymer exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents and could be cast on a glass plate to give film with good mechanical properties. It was found that oxygen permeability (PO2) and permselectivity (PO2/PN2) of the resulting polymer were 15.2 barrer and 2.84, respectively.

Catalytic copolymerization of diethyl dipropargylmalonate (DEDPM) and phenylacetylene (PA) by Mo(CO)6 and (toluene) Mo(CO)3/chloranil has resulted in the expected copolymer consiting of a polyene backbone with five-and/or six-membered rings and th e PPA structure. Both complexes exhibited not only varying degree of catalytic activity depending upon the relative mole ratio of two monomers but also characterize the types of coploymers. The former yields the polyene backbone containing only five-membered rings as well as PA while the latter produces the polymers consisting of both five-and six-membered ring structure. Comparative studies show that Mo(CO)6 exhibits reactivity toward DEDPM alone, thus catalyzing initially metathesis cyclopoly-merization of DEDPM followed by copolymerization with PA while the (toluene)Mo(CO)3/chloranil system shows affinity for both PA and DEDPM.
