  • Latest developments on hybrid nanostructured materials fabricated by applying self-assembly strategies on organic/inorganic nanotemplates are discussed. Within this frame, numerous functional nanomaterials including arrays of composite metal/semiconductor nanoparticles, planar waveguides and functional multilayer thin films are generated using self-assembled polymers as templates or building blocks. In particular, surface plasmon resonance based optical sensing is employed to investigate nanofabrication processes occurring in nanoscale dimention. We also suggest unprecedented pathways to hybrid supramolecular multilayer nanoarchitectures in 1D or 2D geometry via layer-by-layer self-assembly.

  • 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)에 과산화물 가교제인 dicummyl pe개xide(DCP)와 peroxide(PBP)를 각각 첨가하여 반응 용융 가공 조건이 HDPE의 가교 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 용융 가공 시 가교제 첨가에 따라 가교에 의한 용융점도 증가에 의하여 믹서의 토크가 증가하는 것으로 보아 반응 용융 가공에 의한 가교 HDPE가 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 그 결과, HDPE의 용융점도는 증가하며 밀도 및 용융온도 그리고 용융엔탈피의 감소가 초래됨을 알 수 있었다. 가교 HDPE는 HDPE에 비하여 강도가 우수한 반면 상대적으로 낮은 신율을 보이며 이러한 현상은 가교제로 PBP를 사용했을 경우 더 두드러짐을 확인하였다. 가교 HDPE의 기계적 물성은 반응 가교온도 $150^{circ}C$에서 가장 높음을 알 수 있는 반면 반응 가공시간에는 큰 영향을 받지 않음을 확인하였다.

  • The spontaneous axon regeneration of damaged neurons is limited after spinal cord injury (SCI). Recently, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation was proposed as a potential approach for enhancing nerve regeneration that avoids the ethical issues associated with embryonic stem cell transplantation. As SCI is a complex pathological entity, the treatment of SCI requires a multipronged approach. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the functional recovery and therapeutic potential of human MSCs (hMSCs) and polymer in a spinal cord hemisection injury model. Rats were subjected to hemisection injuries and then divided into three groups. Two groups of rats underwent partial thoracic hemisection injury followed by implantation of either polymer only or polymer with hMSCs. Another hemisection-only group was used as a control. Behavioral, electrophysiological and immunohistochemical studies were performed on all rats. The functional recovery was significantly improved in the polymer with hMSC-transplanted group as compared with control at five weeks after transplantation. The results of electrophysiologic study demonstrated that the latency of somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) in the polymer with hMSC-transplanted group was significantly shorter than in the hemisection-only control group. In the results of immunohistochemical study, ${\beta}$-gal-positive cells were observed in the injured and adjacent sites after hMSC transplantation. Surviving hMSCs differentiated into various cell types such as neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. These data suggest that hMSC transplantation with polymer may play an important role in functional recovery and axonal regeneration after SCI, and may be a potential therapeutic strategy for SCI.

  • Concrete structures need repair and rehabilitation due to functional deficiencies such as cracks, scaling and spalling. Loss of section such as spalling is caused by corrosion of reinforcing bar, fire, temperature change, poor design and etc. This study aims to examine the characteristics of polymer(epoxy)and polymer-cement(latex) for repair materials and to provide the proper repair scheme through static and fatigue tests. Totally 12 beams were tested. Results from static and fatigue tests of beams repaired with polymer and polymer-cement were compared.

  • Most applications of polymers involve blends and mixtures of components including solvents, surfactants, copolymers, fillers, organic or inorganic functional additives, and various processing aids. These components provide unique properties of polymeric materials even beyond those tailored into the basic chemical structures. In addition, skillful processing extends the properties for even greater applications. The perennial challenge of polymer science is to understand and exploit the structure-processing-property interplay relationship. We are developing and demonstrating combinatorial methods and high throughput analysis as tools to provide this fundamental understanding.

  • Ionic liquids (ILs) are collecting keen interests as an advanced substituent of electrolyte solution as well as novel solvents. In the present talk, I will introduce some strategies to fix IL structure on polymer chains to prepare polar polymers with low glass transition temperature. Namely, cationic, anionic, and zwitterionic monomers have been prepared, and they have been homopolymerized or copolymerized to prepare polymer electrolytes with different properties. The polymers themselves showed very poor ionic conductivity, but it was improved by suitable spacer between charged site and main chain. Other unique characteristics of functional ILs and new polymerized ionic liquids will also be mentioned.
