We present a theoretical study of the non-symmetrical A/BC polymeric system. The polymer blends consist of two phases, a pure polymeric phase A on one side and a mixture of polymers B as a compatibilizer and C on the other. The adsorption of homopolymer B to the interface improves the interfacial adhesion between two phases. By employing the functional integral techniques, we derive the mean-field equations and solve them numerically to obtain the interfacial properties including the concentration profiles in the limit of infinite molecular weight for the polymers. Thecalculations of the interfacial properties are performed for typical values of the Flory X parameters and the volume fraction of polymer B in the asymptotic mixture phase. The interfacial adsorption of polymer B and the degrees of the specific interaction between the polymers play an important role in modification of the interfacial properties.

Natural fiber/phenolic biocomposites with chopped henequen fibers treated at various levels of electron beam irradiation (EBI) were made by means of a matched-die compression molding method. The interfacial property was explored in terms of interfacial shear strength measured by a single fiber microbonding test. The thermal properties were studied in terms of storage modulus, tan ${\delta}$, thermal expansion and thermal stability measured by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermomechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The result showed that the interfacial and thermal properties depend on the treatment level of EBI done to the henequen fiber surfaces. The present result also demonstrates that 10 kGy EBI is most preferable to physically modify the henequen fiber surfaces and then to improve the interfacial property of the biocomposite, supporting earlier results studied with henequen/poly (butylene succinate) and henequen/unsaturated polyester biocomposites.

BA와 MMA 그리고 1$\sim$5 wt%/monomer의 다양한 관능성 단량체(AA, 2-HEMA, GMA, AAm)를 사용하여 수용성 아크릴계 점착제를 중합하였다. 점착박리강도를 향상시키기 위해 대기압 평판형 플라즈마 전처리 방식을 피착제에 사용하였다. 관능성 단량체 종류에 따라 AA>2-HEMA>GMA>AAm의 순으로 높은 점착박리강도를 나타내었다. 유지력은 관능성 단량체의 함량이 증가함에 따라 열적 성질이 증가하여 전체적으로 AA>AAm>GMA>2-HEMA순으로 우수한 유지력을 나타내었다. 피착면에 평판형 플라즈마 전처리 방식을 적용한 결과 AA 9.1%, 2-HEMA 9.4%, GMA 9.4%, AAm 1.8%의 후기점착박리강도 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 다양한 관능성 단량체와 플라즈마 표면 처리법을 사용하여 점착박리강도, 유지력과 같은 기계적 물성을 조절할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 재활용이 가능하며 열가소성 특성을 지닌 신규 고분자 수지를 개발하고 합성하였다. 이렇게 개발된 수지와 판상형 질화붕소(h-BN) 사이의 계면 친화성이 좋음을 계산과학을 통하여 확인하고 열압기(hot press)를 이용하여 복합소재를 제조하였다. 고분자 수지와 필러 사이의 계면 친화성과 함께 복합소재 제조시 발생되는 전단력(shear force) 만으로도 매우 높은 필러 정렬도를 지닌 복합소재를 제조할 수 있었고, 이러한 이유로 복합소재는 최대 13.8 W/mK의 높은 열전도도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 개발된 수지가 화학적으로 분해 가능한 장점을 이용하여 제조된 복합소재로부터 물리/화학적 변성 없이 필러를 회수할 수 있었고 이렇게 회수된 필러는 향후 다양한 신규 복합소재 제조에 재활용이 가능하다.

관능성 단량체로서 acrylic acid(AA)를 사용하였고, 기본 단량체로서는 2-ethylhexyl acrylate(2-EHA)를 사용하여 용액중합의 방법으로 점착제를 합성하였다. 점착제의 점착물성 중에 AA와 경화제 함량에 따른 점착제의 표면에너지와 물성변화 연구를 조사하였다. 합성된 점착제의 구조는 FTIR을 통하여 확인하였고 점도와 분자량은 Brookfield 점도계와 GPC를 사용하여 각각 측정하였다. 분자량과 점도는 AA가 6 wt%까지는 함량증가에 따라 증가하였으며 6 wt% 이상에서는 감소하였다. 이러한 경향은 표면에너지 역시 AA 함량증가에 따라 COOH 그룹에 의한 극성 강화로 표면에너지는 증가하였다. 반면, 점착력은 분자량과 반비례 관계를 보였으며 AA 함량과 경화제 함량 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

pH- and temperature-sensitive bifunctional hydrogels composed of N-isopropylacrylamide (NiPAAm) and a sulfadimethoxine monomer (SDM) derived from sulfadimethoxine were prepared. These hydrogels exhibit simultaneous pH- and temperature-induced volume-phase transitions. The pH-induced volume-phase transition behavior is produced by the ionization/deionization of SDM and is very sharp. In the high pH region, the ionization of SDM induces swelling of the hydrogels. In the low pH region, the deionization of SDM induces deswelling of the hydrogels. The temperature-induced volume-phase transition behavior of the bifunctional hydrogels exhibits negative thermosensitivity because of the NiPAAm component. The hydrogels swell even at low pH as the temperature decreases. The hydrogels swell at low temperature and high pH, and deswell at high temperature and low pH. The volume of the hydrogels dependl on the balance of the swelling and deswelling produced by the two competing stimuli, pH and temperature.

Biomimetic terpene sensors which have high sensitivity and stability have been fabricated using moleculary imprinted polymer (MIP) technology. Since it is impossible to make a resistive type sensor due to the high resistance of MIP, we improved the sensor by adding conductive polymers. We investigated the sensitivity of resistive type sensors with nano particles depending on the amount of conductive polymers. The MIP membrane contained the methacrylic acid as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross linker, which formed specific cavities originated by the target terpene molecules. The mixture of MIP and the conductive polymer was coated on the patterns of interdigit electrodes on the alumina substrate. The fabricated sensors showed their highest specific sensitivities exposed to 500 ppm target gases : limonene 0.055 at 40% of amount of conductive polymers and geraniol $5.84{\times}10^{-4}$ at 20% of amount of conductive polymers. In conclusion, we found that the terpene sensors are affected by the target molecules, functional monomers and the conductive polymers.

The quantity, process and kinetics of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) migration in the 30/70 and 40/60 poly(vinylchloride) (PVC)/DEHP blends were investigated using gas chromatograph. A thin and flexible PVC sheet was soaked in surrounding medium (SM) of water/ethanol mixture and acetonitrile with constant stirring to release DEHP. By observed concentration of DEHP in the SM, it is found that acetonitrile is more intense in DEHP migration than water/ethanol mixture. In addition the amount of extracted DEHP is proportional to the leaching temperature and added ratio of DEHP. The behavior of DEHP migration from flexible PVC sheets was described by the Ficks's law with $2.72-10.1\;{times}\;10^{-10}$ cm²/s of the diffusion coefficients.

Macroporous silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics were fabricated by powder processing and polymer processing using carbon-filled polysiloxane as a precursor. The effects of the starting SiC polytype, template type, and template content on porosity and flexural strength of macroporous SiC ceramics were investigated. The ${\beta}$-SiC powder as a starting material or a filler led to higher porosity than ${\alpha}$-SiC powder, owing to the impingement of growing ${\alpha}$-SiC grains, which were transformed from ${\beta}$-SiC during sintering. Typical flexural strength of powder-processed macroporous SiC ceramics fabricated from ${\alpha}$-SiC starting powder and polymer microbeads was 127 MPa at 29% porosity. In contrast, that of polymer-processed macroporous SiC ceramics fabricated from carbon-filled polysiloxane, ${\beta}$-SiC fillers, and hollow microspheres was 116MPa at 29% porosity. The combination of ${\alpha}$-SiC starting powder and a fairly large amount (10 wt%) of $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ additives led to macroporous SiC ceramics with excellent flexural strength.
