In an effort to regulate the mammalian cell behavior in entrapment with a gel, we have functionalized hydrogels with the putative cell-binding (-Arg-Gly-Asp-)(RGD) domain. An adhesion molecule of Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (GRGDS) peptides, a cell recognition ligand, was induced into thermo-reversible hydrogels, composed of N-isopropylacrylamide with small amounts of acrylic acid (typically 2-5 $mol\%$ in feed), as a biomimetic extracellular matrix (ECM). The GRGDS containing a p(NiPAAm-co-AAc) copolymer gel was studied in vitro for its ability to promote the spreading and viability of cells by introducing a GRGDS sequence. Hydrogel with no adhesion molecule was a poor ECM for adhesion, permiting spreading of only $3\%$ of the seeded cells for 36h. By immobilizing the peptide linkage into the hydrogel, the conjugation of RGD promoted $50\%$ of proliferation for 36h. However, the GREDS sequence, nonadhesive peptide linkage, conjugated hydrogel showed only $5\%$ of the seeded cell for the same time period. In addition, with the serum-free medium, only GRGDS peptides conjugated to hydrogel was able to promotecell spreading, while there was no cell proliferation in the hydrogel without GRGDS. Thus, the GRGDS peptide-conjugated thermo-reversible hydrogel specifically mediated the cell spreading. This result suggests that utilization of peptide sequences conjugating with the cell-adhesive motifs can enhance the degree of cell surface interaction and influence the long-term formation of ECM in vitro.

We developed novel catalyst, PHENICS composed of the combination of a cyclopentadienyl group to perform a high catalytic activity and a bulky phenoxy group, which performs the production of high molecular weight polyolefin. The polymerization activity of PHENICS at high temperature is higher than well-known CGC catalyst. PHENICS showed the excellent ability of comonomer incorporation into polymer chain. The obtained copolymer had a high molecular weight. The PHENICS catalyst is also active to the copolymerization of ethylene and several vinyl comonomers such as styrene, norbornen, and conjugated dienes. We will discuss new cocatalysts for PHENICS to improve activity and the ability of molecular weight control.

Vegetable oil은 자연 유래 물질로 낮은 가격 및 친환경적이라는 장점으로 최근 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 vegetable oil 내의 이중결합의 낮은 반응성으로 인해 고분자 합성의 기반 물질로 사용하기 위해서는 반응성이 높은 관능기로 치환하여 사용하는 경우가 많다. Tung oil은 ${\alpha}$-eleostearic acid를 주성분으로 하는데, 이 구조는 3개의 이중결합이 공명구조 형태로 되어있기 때문에 다른 vegetable oil과는 달리 높은 반응성을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 tung oil을 styrene 및 divinylbenzene 등의 monomer와 양이온 중합을 통해 tung oil의 관능기 치환 과정이 없는 열경화성 수지를 합성하였으며, 각 monomer의 조성이 합성된 열경화성 수지에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 열적 기계적 물성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, tung oil-styrene-divinybenzene copolymer는 단일 Tg를 갖는 homogeneous한 열경화성 고분자를 형성하는 것을 확인하였으며, 기계적 물성의 변화를 통해 tung oil 및 styrene은 soft segment로써 합성된 copolymer에 elastic한 성질을 부여하고, divinylbenzene은 hard segment로 작용하여 합성된 copolymer에 brittle한 성질을 부여하는 것을 확인하였다.

The mixtures of non-conjugated dienes, 4-methyl-1,4-hexadiene and 5-methyl-1,4-hexadiene (MHD), were successfully synthesized by the reaction of isoprene with ethylene using Fe(III)-based catalyst in toluene. The conversion was over 96 mol% on the basis of the initial amount of isoprene used. The production yield for MHD was nearly 50 mol%, the other was polyisoprene. The mixtures were successfully copolymerized with ethylene by using zirconium-based metallocenes. The products were characterized by the combinations of gas chromatography, high temperature gel permeation chromatography, $^1$H NMR, $^{13}$ C NMR, high temperature $^1$H NMR, UV/visible spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that 5-methyl-1,4-hexadiene was active enough to be incorporated into the copolymer chain but the corresponding isomeric material,4-methyl-1,4-hexadiene, was inactive in metallocene-catalyzed copolymerizations. Specifically, in the zirconocene-catalyzed copolymerizations of ethylene with MHD, ansa-structure catalysts seem to be more efficient than non-bridged type zirconocene. The degree of incorporation of MHD in the resulting copolymers was able to be controlled by the amount of non-conjugated dienes used initially.

The polymerization of a cyclopolymerizable disubstituted dipropargyl ether, his(3-trimethylsilyl-2-propynyl)ether (BTPE), was attempted by various transition metal catalysts. The yield for the polymerization of BTPE was generally low, which is possibly due to the steric hindrance of bulky substituents. In general, the catalytic activities of Mo-based catalysts were found to be greater than those of W-based catalysts. The highest yield was obtained when the MoCl$_{5}$,-EtAlCl$_2$(1:2) catalyst system was used. The copolymerization of BTPE and diethyl dipropargylmalonate yielded a random copolymer with conjugated polymer backbone. However the polymers were partially desilylated, depending on the reaction conditions. The thermal and morphological properties of the resulting polymers were also discussed.d.

Poly[(R)-3-hydroxy butyrate] (PHB) and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) were conjugated by the transesterification reaction with tin(II)-ethylhexanoate (Sn(Oct)-II) as a catalyst. Hydrophobic PHB and hydrophilic mPEG formed an amphiphilic block copolymer which was formed with the self-assembled polymeric micelle in aqueous solution. In this study, we tried to determine the optimum ratio of hydrophobic/hydrophilic segments for controlled drug delivery. The particle size and shape of the polymeric micelle were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their size were 61-102 nm with various block ratios. Griseofulvin was loaded in the polymeric micelle as a hydrophobic model drug. The loading efficiency and release profile were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The model drug in our system was constantly released for 48 h.
