Acryl and vinyl sulfone functionalized blue and orange azo dyes were prepared by the coupling reaction of 6-bromo-2-cyano-4-nitroaniline and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(vinylsulfonyl)benzenamine with 3-acrylamido-(N,N-diethylamino)benzene and 3-methyl-(N,N-diethylamino)benzene, respectively, for the coloring of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Allyl functionalized dye was also prepared by reacting vinyl sulfone-containing dye with allylamine. Three types of dyeing method were used: the copolymerization of reactive dye with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and dyeing by polymerization of MMA in the presence of polymeric dye and dye 2 without reactive function. The color fastness for the three PMMAs were evaluated by comparing the solubility of dye under various conditions.

The photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) with phenylsilane wasperformed. The molecular weights of the poly(MMA) containing SiH moieties were increased with augment of molar ratio of PhSiH3 over MMA by cross-linking via hydrosilation at the expense of isolated yield. Phenylsilane apparently influenced on the photopolymerization as a chain transfer agent and solvent.

Purpose: In this study, we compared the physical properties of the compositions that were mixed with basic materials of HEMA (2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate)/Silicone and BMA (Butyl methacrylate), MMA (Methyl methacrylate) by making the silicone contact lens. Method: Each sample of contact lenses was fabricated by cast mould method. We analyzed results by using average values of physical property of each sample. Results: In the composition of HEMA/Silicone/BMA, water contents of samples showed the value from 24.69% to 29.26%. Ultimate strength of samples showed the value from 0.109 kgf to 0.263 kgf. In the composition of HEMA/Silicone/MMA, swelling ratio of samples showed the value from 13.56% to 14.83%. Water contents of samples showed the value from 25.61% to 29.33%. Ultimate strength of samples showed the value from 0.107 kgf to 0.286 kgf. Conclusions: The compositions of percents of silicone were ranged from 0.20% to 11.50% and the composition percent of BMA and MMA was 5.15% in total. Swelling ratio and water contents increased with decreasing of BMA (Butyl methacrylate) and MMA (Methyl methacrylate) percent. In the composition of HEMA/Silicone/MMA, the values of ultimate strength increased with increasing of silicone percent to 4-MMA sample. In the composition of HEMA/Silicone/BMA, the values of ultimate strength decreased with increasing of silicone percent.

Plasma polymerized methyl methacrylate (ppMMA) thin films were deposited by plasma polymerization technique with different plasma powers and subsequently thermally treated at temperatures of 60 to $150^{\circ}C$. To find a better ppMMA preparation technique for application to organic thin film transistor (OTFT) as dielectric layer, the chemical composition, surface morphology, and electrical properties of ppMMA were investigated. The effect of ppMMA thin-film preparation conditions on the resulting thin film properties were discussed, specifically O-H site content in the pMMA, dielectric constant, leakage current density, and hysteresis.

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) initiated by cobalt (II) nitrate in tetrahydrofuran (THF) has been studied. From the results of kinetic studies, the overall polymerization rate (Rp) could be expressed as following; $R_p=k\;[cobalt(Ⅱ)\;nitrate]^{0.5}\;[MMA]^{1.5}$ By considering the effects of chelating agent on the polymerization rate, it could be assumed that the monomer, MMA might form a coordination complex with cobalt(II) nitrate. In the presence of radical inhibitor hydroquinone, the inhibition time was observed. And the apparent overall activation energy was calculated to be 14.0 kcal/mole.

In this study, the tensile adhesion strength was evaluated according to KS F 4932 to assess the suitability of MMA-based repair materials for concrete roads. Two types of MMA were used. Mortar mock-ups were made and tested for adhesion strength in three different surface conditions: air, water, and salt water. Both showed strengths above the standardized strength of 0.6 MPa. Type B, which has a relatively low adhesion strength, is considered more suitable.

To obtain high molecular weight (HMW) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with high conversion, methyl methacrylate (MMA) was polymerized in suspension using a room temperature initiator, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (ADMVN), and the effects of polymerization conditions on the polymerization behavior of MMA and the molecular parameters of PMMA were investigated. On the whole, the experimental results well corresponded to the theoretically predicted tendencies. These effects could be explained by a kinetic order of ADMVN concentration calculated by an initial rate method and an activation energy difference of polymerization obtained from the Arrhenius plot. Suspension polymerization at 25℃ by adopting ADMVN proved to be successful in obtaining PMMA of HMW (number-average degree of polymerization (P/sub n/): 30,900-36,100) and of high yield (ultimate conversion of MMA into PMMA: 83-93 %) with diminishing heat generated during polymerization. The P/sub n/ and lightness were higher and polydispersity index was lower with PMMA polymerized at lower temperatures.

A methacrylate copolymer based on isobornyl methacrylate (IBMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was synthesized in an aqueous suspension via free-radical polymerization. The potential of this copolymer as a heat-resistant optical polymer is also discussed. 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl peroxy-2-ethyl hexanoate and n-octyl mercaptan were used as the initiator and chain transfer agents, respectively. The effect of IBMA on the properties of the copolymer was investigated. The composition of the copolymer was analyzed using $^1H-NMR$, and the heat resistance by measuring the glass transition temperature, which exhibited a linear dependency on the IBMA content in the copolymer. Variation of the chain transfer content used in the synthesis step was effective for the optimization of the copolymer for practical use.

The copolymers with various composition of methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), methacrylic acid (MA) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were synthesized for capacitive humidity sensitive materials. The capacitive humidity sensor consisted of a polymethacrylate film coated on both sides with gold electrode. Capacitance versus relative humidity increased with HEMA content in the copolymer. In the case of self-crosslinkable MMA/MA/HEHA= 40/10/10, the average capacitance at 30%RH, 60%RH and 90%RH are 102, 134 and 166 pF, respectively. And also, the hysteresis, temperature cycle and long-term stability were evaluated as a capacitance humidity sensor.

Poly(urethane-methyl methacrylate) hybrid emulsions can be controlled with their thermal, mechanical and anti-chemical properties as plastic coating materials. In this study, water dispersed poly(urethane-methyl methacrylate) hybrid emulsions were prepared by prepolymer synthesis and soap free emulsion polymerization. For imparting hydrophilicity on polyurethane prepolymer, 2,2-bis (hydroxymethyl) propionic acid was added to the polyurethane prepolymer with methyl methacrylate monomer and was neutralizated by triethylamine (TEA). After neutralization, the prepolymer mixture was dispersed in the water phase with stable droplets. The synthesis was carried out with chain extension from the ethylene diamine and initiation of methyl methacrylate by soap free emulsion polymerization. Stable poly(urethane-methyl methacrylate) hybrid emulsion was successfully obtained with different synthetic conditions and acrylic monomer contents. Poly(urethane-methyl methacrylate) hybrid emulsion were characterized and compared with tensile strength, viscosity, and adhesion properties.
