Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was blended with poly(ether sulfone) (PES) at various compositions. To investigate the possibility of using the blend membranes as polymer electrolyte membranes for direct methanol fuel cell, the blend membranes were characterized in terms of methanol permeability, proton conductivity, ion exchange capacity, and water content. Both proton conductivity and methanol permeability of SPEEK were relatively high. As the amount of PES increased, methanol permeability decreased more rapidly compared to proton conductivity. The experimental results indicated that the blend membrane with 40 wt% PES was the best choice in terms of the ratio of proton conductivity to methanol permeability.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of polyphosphate on healing of skin wound in rabbits. Four skin wounds of 8mm in diameter were induced bilaterally(4 wounds/rabbit) on the dorsolateral aspect of the trunk of 15 male New Zealand white rabbits. Ten percent polyphosphate(poly P) type 25, 10% poly P type 35, 10% poly P type 25+10% poly P type 35 and 0.85% sterile saline solution were applied on the wound area and examined grossly and histopathologically. The rate of wound contraction and histopathological changes after poly P application on the skin wound were investigated. In gross findings, the wound contraction rates of 10% poly P 25 group were significantly decreased from day 2 to day 7 after operation than those of 0.85% sterile saline solution treated group (p < 0.01). Although the hemorrhage and inflammation were observed on days 3, 6 and 9 after operation in all groups, but in 10% poly P 25 was gradually decreased. Revascularization and reepithelialization were seen 3, 6 and 9 days after operation in all groups, especially in 10% poly P 25 was formed completely on 9 days. Fibroplasia were seen 3. 6 and 9 days after operation in all groups, especially in 10% poly P 25 was compact than other groups on 9 days. The results suggested that polyphosphate, especially 10% poly P 25 would be effective on healing of skin wound in rabbits through decrease of would contraction rate, increase of revascularization, reepithelialization and fibroplasia.

New film forming aromatic poly(amide-imide)s containing isoindoloquinazolinedione (IQ) unit in the backbone chain (polymer XIV) have been successfully synthesized by preparing prepolymers of poly(amic acid-carbonamide). followed by subsequent thermal cyclization of the prepolymers. 4,4-Diamino-3-carbamoylbenzanilide (DACB) V has been synthesized by reduction of 3-carbamoyl-4-amino-4-nitrobenzanilide IV. The prepolymers of poly(amic-acid-carbonamide) (polymers VII and VIII) which exhibit viscosities ranging from 1.4 to 1.7 dl/g have been prepared by a condensation polymerization of monomers such as BPDA, ODA, and DACB. Polymer XIV has been obtained by thermal cyclization of the polymers VII and VIII. During the thermal cyclization reaction, imide ring structure was first introduced and then transformed to the structure of IQ unit. The thermal degradation rate of the resultant polymers were influenced by the cleavage of amide bond but the final char yield was comparable to that of poly(BPDA-ODA).

This paper concerns the development of a cationic polymeric membranes for direct methanol fuel cell. The crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes with poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic acid) (PAM) and hydroquinonesulfonic acid (HQSA) as the crosslinking agents were prepared according to the amount of crosslinking agents. The resulting membranes were characterized in terms of methanol permeability, proton conductivity, water content and ion exchange capacity. The methanol permeability and proton conductivity increased with increasing PAM content up to 9 wt% and then decreased. This trend is considered the effect of the cross linking rather than the introduction of hydrophilic groups. When the HQSA contents were varied, no interesting increases of proton conductivity, water content and ion exchange capacity were found.

The self diffusions and hole volumes of amorphous region of poly(acrylonitrile)-poly(vinyl chloride) fibers were investigated by experiments of stress relaxation. The experiments of stress relaxation were carried out using the tensile tester with the solvent chamber. The flow parameters of filament fibers were obtained by applying the experimental stress relaxation curves to the theoretical equation of stress relaxation. From the flow parameters, the hole volumes, self diffusions, viscosities and thermodynamic parameters of solid polymers were calculated. It was observed that the flow parameters of these samples are directly related to the hole volumes, self diffusions and flow activation energies of flow segments.

압전성과 초전성을 나타내는 고분자인 poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)는 poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(vinyl acetate), 및 Poly(vinyl methyl ketone)(PVMK) 등과 블렌딩하면 혼화성(miscibility)이 있다. 이들 블렌드물들을 용융온도 이상으로 승온시키면 낮은 온도에서는 균일상으로 존재하지만, 온도가 계속 증가하면 상분리되어 LCST(lower critical solution temperature)를 나타낸다[1]. 이러한 승온에 의한 상분리 거동에서 외부전장을 가하면 전기활성 고분자인 PVDF에 영향을 주어 상분리 거동이 변화될 것으로 예산된다.

Poly(vinyl acetate)와 poly(vinyl acetate-co-2-ethylhexyl acrylate)를 여러 조건에서 semicontinuous emulsion 중합으로 합성하였다. Overall conversion, emulsion 입자크기, pH, 점도 등을 합성한 두 emulsion polymer에 대해 측정하였다. Vinyl acetate monomer에 2-ethylhexyl acrylate를 도입함으로서 emulsion 입도, 점도, 중합 속도, 유리 전이 속도가 감소함을 확인하였다.

The recent development of biodegradable polymers for drug delivery system (DDS) has been investigated. The biodegradable polymers for DDS are mainly discussed in two categories: one category is natural biodegradable polymers such as polysaccharides, modified celluloses, poly(${\alpha}$-amino acid)s, modified proteins, and microbial biodegradable polymers; the other is synthetic biodegradable polymers such as poly(ester)s, poly(ortho ester)s, poly(phosphazene)s, poly(anhydride)s, poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate)s, and multiblock copolymers. The bioconjugate polymeric drug delivery systems have been also proposed for the design of biocompatible polymeric controlled drug delivery.

최근 들어 poly(trimethylene terephtha)ate)(PTT)를 폴리에스터계 고분자들인 PET, PTN, PBN 등과 블렌드하고 이들의 특성 변화에 대해 검토한 결과가 많이 발표되고 있다. PTT를 PET나 PTN과 블렌드시키면 혼화성이 없으나, 이들 블렌드물을 용융시키면 점차 하나의 T$_{g}$를 나타내어 혼화성을 갖는다[1-3]. 반면에 PTT와 PBN을 블렌드시키면 처음부터 혼화성이 존재한다[4]. 이같이 PTT와 혼합되는 고분자의 종류에 따라 혼화성이 달라지는데, 본 연구는 PTT와 poly(ethylene naphthalate)(PEN)을 블렌드시키면 혼화성이 어떻게 되는가를 검토한 것이다.

Korobov type polynomials are introduced and extensively investigated many mathematicians ([1, 8-10, 12-14]). In this work, we define unified Apostol Korobov type polynomials and give some recurrences relations for these polynomials. Further, we consider the q-poly Korobov polynomials and the q-poly-Korobov type Changhee polynomials. We give some explicit relations and identities above mentioned functions.
