  • A simple approach to prepare arrays of Au/TiO2 composite nanoparticles by using Au-loaded block copolymers as templates combined with a sol-gel process is described. The organic-inorganic hybrid films with closely packed inorganic nanodomains in organic matrix are produced by spin coating the mixtures of polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO)/HAuCl4 solution and sol-gel precursor solution. After removal of the organic matrix with deep UV irradiation, arrays of Au/TiO2 composite nanoparticles with different compositions or particle sizes can be easily produced. Different photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra from an organic-inorganic hybrid film and arrays of Au/TiO2 composite nanoparticles indicate that TiO2 and Au components exist as separate state in the initial hybrid film and form composite nanoparticles after the removal of the block copolymer matrix.

  • 방사선의 측정방법으로 현재까지 여러 방법들이 쓰여져 왔다. 여기에는 필름을 이용하는 방법, TLD를 이용하는 방법, 전리함(ion chamber)을 이용하는 방법 등이 대체로 가장 많이 쓰여지는 방법이다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 새로운 방사선측정 방법이 시도되었다. 고분자 젤과 핵자기공명영상 (MRI)을 이용한 방법이 그 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 방사선 측정을 위한 고분자 젤을 합성하고 합성된 젤을 사용하여 젤의 방사선 흡수선량과의 관계를 MRI 영상으로부터 구해서, 이 결과를 근접치료에 쓰이는 seed 선원의 선량분포를 측정하여 가시화 시키는데 있다. 이를 위해 지름 12 cm 원통형 팬텀에 젤을 합성하고, 이 젤을 뇌정위 방사선수술에 쓰이는 30 mm 콜리메이터를 이용하여 여러 단계의 선량을 젤에 조사하였다. 이렇게 조사된 젤은 MRI 을 촬영하였고 이렇게 촬영된 MRI 영상으로부터 젤팬텀의 각 위치의 횡이완시간 (T$_2$ time)을 영상분석 소프트웨어를 이용하여 계산하였다. 그 결과 젤의 홉수선량과 횡이완시간과는 17 Gy 근처까지는 거의 반비례 ($R^2$=0.993)하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 이 보다 높은 흡수선량에 대해서는 또 다른 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또 이것을 이용하여 HDR afterloading system 의 Ir-192 seed 선원에 의한 선량분포와 2 mCi Ir-192 seed 선원에 의한 선량분포를 측정하였다. 그리고 이 것을 각각 치료계획컴퓨터에 의한 선량분포곡선과 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과로는 고분자 젤을 이용한 방사선의 측정방법을 시도하여 홉수선량과 젤의 특성과의 관계를 밝혔으며, 실제로 그접치료에 쓰이는 seed 선원에 의한 선량분포 곡선을 얻는데 적용하였다.

  • 폴리아스팔트아미드[${\alpha}$,${\beta}$-poly(2-hydroxyethyl-DL-aspartamides), PHEAs]는 폴리아미노산의 일종으로서 잠재적인 의학 및 약학분야에 응용가능한 생분해성 생체적합성 재료로 널리 연구되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 PHEA와 폴리(비닐 피롤리돈)(PNVP)의 블렌드 및 semi-IPN 젤에 관하여 다루었다. 블렌드 필름은 용액 캐스팅법으로 제조되었다. 제조된 블렌드는 전 조성에서 투명하였으며 DSC를 통해 조성에 따라 단조롭게 변화하는 단일한 유리전이 온도가 관찰됨으로써 두 개 고분자가 서로 상용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 고분자간의 가능한 수소결합 상호작용을 FTIR을 이용하여 설명하였다. 한편, 일정 조성의 PHEA/PNVP 블렌드 용액을 핵사메틸렌디이소시아네이트(HMDI)를 가교제로 사용하여 semi-IPN 타입의 하이브리드 젤을 제조하고, 제조된 젤의 팽윤 물성과 모폴로지를 조사하였다.

  • 생체 적합성이 우수한 gelatin(GEL)과 기계적 물성이 뛰어난 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)로 이루어진 블렌드막을 $3{\sim}10kV$의 고전장하에서 용액 캐스팅 법에 의해 제조하였고, 막중에 형성되는 미세한 domain 구조의 배향에 미치는 전장의 효과를 조사하였다. 5 kV이상의 높은 전장하에서 제조된 막의 경우 SEM 사진으로부터 막중의 GEL domain이 전장인가 방향으로 배향되어 있음을 관찰하였다. 이는 제막 중 상분리된 두 상의 계면장력 감소에 기인한 Maxwell의 정전 분산 효과에 의한 것으로 해석될 수 있다. 또한, 고전장 인가시 전극 판에서 발생하는 열과 GEL domain의 연신 배향 효과에 의해 PVA/GEL 블렌드막의 결정화도가 증가하는 것을 WAXD와 팽윤거동 관찰을 통해 확인 할 수 있었다.

  • Polymer membranes composed of N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methaccrylate(DMAEMA) and acrylamide(AAm)(or ethyl acrylamide(EAAm) were prepared to demonstrated the thermo-control of solute permeation. Poly DMEMA has a lower critical solution temperature(LCST) at around 50$\^{C}$ in water, With the copolymerization of DMAEMA with AAm (or EAAm) a shift in the LCST to a lowere temperature was observed, probably due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the amide and N-N-dimethylamino groups. However, the temperature-induced phase transition of poly(DMAEMA-co-EAAm) did not show a similar trend to that of poly(DMAEMA- co-AAm) in the gel state. The hydrogen bonds in poly(DMAEMA-co-EAAm) were significantly disrupted with the formation a gel network, which led to a difference in the swilling behavior of polymer gels in response to temperature. To apply these polymers to temperature-sensitive sol-ute permeation, polymer membranes were prepared. The permeation pattern of hydrocortisone, used as the model solute, was explained based on the temperature-sensitive swelling behavior of the polymer membranes.

  • Proton conducting polymeric gels as the electrolytes of electrochemical capacitors have been prepared by two different methods: 1) swelling a polymethacrylate-based polymer matrix in aqueous solutions of inorganic and organic acids, and 2) polymerizing complexes of anhydrous acids and prepolymers with organic plasticizer. The FT-IR spectra strongly suggest that the carbonyl groups in the polymer matrix interact with protons from the doped acids. High ionic (proton) conductivity in the range of $6\times10^{-4}-4\times10^{-2}\;S\;cm^{-1}$ was obtained at room temperature for the aqueous gels. The non-aqueous polymer complexes showed rather low ionic conductivity, but it was about $10^{-3}\;S\;cm^{-1}\;at\;70^{\circ}C$ for the $H_3PO_4$ doped polymer electrolyte. The mechanisms of ion (proton) conduction in the polymeric systems are discussed.

  • Polymeric membranes have been widely used to separate gas mixtures, such as $O_2/N_2,\;CO_2/CH_4,\;CO_2/N_2$, and olefin/paraffin. The permeation selectivity is the ratio between composition ratio at the permeate side and composition ratio at the feed side. In addition, the permeation selectivity is a product of solubility selectivity and diffusivity selectivity. We present a novel idea and describe its experimental result, which was achieved by preparing polymer gel films that included a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) in a polymer matrix. It is known that $CO_2$ can dissolve easily in imidazolium-based RTILs. We prepared polymer-ionic liquid gel films using an ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([emim] acetate, C-tri) and a host polymer, poly (vinyl acetate) (PVAc, Aldrich).

  • Crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEGs) were prepared by ultraviolet irradiation of low molar mass, liquid PEGs in the presence of benzophenone (BP) as a photoinitiator. The networks obtained have been characterized by DSC, IR, and contact angle measurements, and their water absorption and equilibrium swelling have been examined. The percent of gel formed and degree of swelling of the networks in water were dependent on the amount of BP in the reaction mixture, irradiation time and molar mass of PEG. Gel fraction yield exceeded 84%, and equilibrium swelling in water varied from 49 to 244%.

  • To modify and strengthen the properties of PHEMA hydrogel, composite hydrogels containing varying amounts of a Pluronic (PEO-PPO-PEO) component were synthesized by bulk polymerization of HEMA in the presence of Pluronic dimethacrylate under mild photo initiating conditions. The effects of the Pluronic component on gel properties were investigated by measuring the degree of swelling with its temperature responsive behavior, the mechanical properties, and the morphology of the composite hydrogels. With increased Pluronic content, the modified PHEMA hydrogels exhibited an increase in the degree of swelling, and the swelling showed an enhanced thermo-responsive behavior that was completely reversible. In addition, improved mechanical strength and the development of a microporous gel morphology were observed in hydrogels containing Pluronic.

  • Chromatographic separation of enantiomers by high-performance liquidchromatography (HPLC) has considerably advanced in the past two, and many optically active polymers have been developed to be usedaschiral stationary phases (CSP). Among many CSPs, cellulose-andamylose-based CSPs are most attractive from the viewpoints of theirwide applicability and easy availability. The polysaccharides are readily modified to ester and carbamates. The derivatives have been used as CSPs after being coated on macroporus silica gel. Here, the CSPs based on phenylcarbamate derivatives of these two polysaccharides will be mainly discussed. The immobilization of the derivatives on silica gel will also be discussed.
