This study examined the optimum compositions of binder, photo-acid generator (PAG) and sensitizer for the cationic ring opening polymerization of 1,3-bis[2-(3-{7-oxabicyclo-[4.1.0]heptyl})]-tetramethyldisiloxane in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane with four epoxide moieties as a co-monomer. When diffractive efficiency (DE) values were compared quantitatively to analyze the effect of the binder on holographic photopolymerization, DE was affected by the viscosity of the binders and miscibility with the monomer mixture. Extremely low DE values were observed when the immiscible dimethyl silicone was used as a binder. Therefore, methylphenyl silicone, which is miscible with the monomer mixture, was used as the binder for further studies. The optimal conditions were a binder viscosity between 250 to 390 cP, and contents of the binder, PAG, and sensitizer were 75-125 wt%, > 6 wt% and 0.05 wt% to the total monomer mixture, respectively.

We have used FT-IR spectra to explain the effects of hydrogen bonding between chitosan and polycaprolactam (PA6). A dynamic mechanical analysis study suggested that the optimum chitosan and PA6 miscibility under the conditions of this experiment were obtained at a blending ratio of 40:60. We studied the thermal degradation of chitosan blended with PA6 (chitosan/PA6) by thermogravimetric analysis and kinetic analysis (by the Ozawa method). Dry chitosan and PA6 exhibited a single stage of thermal degradation and chitosan/PA6 blends having> 20 wt% PA6 exhibited at least two stages of degradation. In chitosan/PA6 blends, chitosan underwent the first stage of thermal degradation; the second stage proceeded at a temperature lower than that of PA6, because the decomposition product of chitosan accelerated the degradation of PA6. The activation energies of the blends were between 130 and 165 kJ/mol, which are also lower than that of PA6.

Cu-Fe alloys (CFAs) are much anticipated for use in electrical contacts, magnetic recorders, and sensors. The low cost of Fe has inspired the investigation of these alloys as possible replacements for high-cost Cu-Nb and Cu-Ag alloys. Here, alloys of Cu and Fe having compositions of $Cu_{100-x}Fe_x$ (x = 10, 30, and 50 wt.%) are prepared by gas atomization and characterized microstructurally and structurally based on composition and powder size with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Grain sizes and Fe-rich particle sizes are measured and relationships among composition, powder size, and grain size are established. Same-sized powders of different compositions yield different microstructures, as do differently sized powders of equal composition. No atomic-level alloying is observed in the CFAs under the experimental conditions.

Epoxy resin and CTBN(carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile) rubber were reacted at $150^{\circ}C$. Epoxy mixtures containing reactant in a ratio $0{\sim}75%(wt%)$ of total liquid component were with dicyandiamide(DICY) at $130{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. Cure, thermal and adhesive properties were investigated in relation to rubber content, cure temperature, hardner content and promoter content. $CTBN{\times}13$ showed better properties in miscibility, curing time and adhesive strength. 2PZ-CNS was more excellent in Tg, and melamine was in adhesive strength. Adhesive strength represented best at rubber content $12{\times}15%$.

Algin and chitosan are known as biodegradable natural polymers. PVA is useful for the production of water soluble packaging, paper, textile sizes. PVA/Algin and PVA/chitosan films were prepared by solution blends method in the weight ratio of chitosan, algin for the purpose of useful biodegradable films. Thermal and mechanical properties of blend films such as DSC, impact strength, tensile strength and morphology by SEM were determined. As a result, The ratio of 10.0wt% PVA/chitosan films were similar to PVA at thermal and mechanical properties. PVA/Algin films were found that phase separation was occured as more than 25wt% increasing the blend ratio of algin. PVA/Algin films were observed to be less partially compatibility than 10wt% increasing the blend ratio of algin by DSC, mechanical properties and SEM. Blend films were completely degraded pH 4.0 better than 7.0, 10.0 in the buffer solution. Also, they were rapidly degraded in the enzyme( glucosidase) solution better than pH solution by enzymolysis.

The effects of various brominated flame retardants were investigated in PC/ABS blend system. The compatibilities between polymers and flame retardants were expected with the solubility parameter using group contribution theory. Tetrabromobisphenol A carbonate oligomer, among the flame retardants in this experiment, has been shown good miscibility for PC and ABS, respectively. But polydibromophenylene oxide and octabromodiphenyl oxide has immiscibility. The flame retardant PC/ABS blends containning tetrabromobisphenol A carbonate oligomer have been exhibited higher mechanical properties, tensile strengths and notch Izod impact strengths, at varlous content of flame retardants, than containning other flame retardants. It could be seen that the trends of mechanical properties for the flame retardant PC/ABS blends have a good concidence with the expectation of compatibility.

MBE 성장시 기판 표면에서의 성장과정을 운동론적 지배과정과 열역학적 지배과정으로 나누어 성장모델을 제시하였으며, 화학적 평형상태에서의 열역학이 III-V compound의 성장속도와 composition 에 미치는 영향을 기존의 보고된 결과 데이터와 비교 분석하였다. 특히 miscibility gap 내에 존재하는 III-V ternary compound의 경우 박막의 성질 및 소자의 특성에 영향을 미치는 alloy clustering은 저온 성장시 surface kinetics에 의해, 고온성장시에는 열역학적 spinodal decomposition에 의해 결정됨을 알수 있었다. 열역학적 모델에서는 기판과 layer사이의 lattice mismatch와 재료의 elastic coefficient의 함수인 additive strain Gibbs free energy, 그리고 ternary solid solution의 regular behavior를 가정하여 ternary alloy의 mixing에 기인한 excess Gibbs free energy를 고려하였다.

II-A isotherms and phase behaviors of 'tocomide', a newly synthesized 1,3-bis(N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-tocopherol succinylamino)-2-hydroxypropane, mixed with cholesterol and linoleic acid, was studied for its monolayer miscibility and a stable delivery formulation for antioxidant applications. The monolayer of tocomide and cholesterol was formed in a homogeneously mixed state at air-water interface. The ternary mixtures with linoleic acid showed various bulk structures, including a stable and transparent solution of thermodynamically stable lamellar phase. The lamellar structure was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and polarized microscopy such that pure tocomide formed a liquid crystal at room temperature with a lamellar periodicity of 36.7 $\AA$(2$\theta$=2.41$^{\circ}$).

In this experimental work, the development of a multicomponent binder system based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) and paraffin wax for Powder Injection Molding of Alumina $(Al_2O_3)$ parts was carried out. The optimum composition of the injection mixture was established through mixing torque measurements and a rheological study. The maximum powder loading was 58 vol%. The miscibility of organic components and the optimum injection temperature was evaluated by thermal characterization of binder and feedstock. The thermal debinding cycle was developed on the basis of thermogravimetrical analysis of the binder. After sintering the densities achieved were closed to 98% of the theoretical one.

Cis-Polybutadiene (cis-PBD) and the three polyethylenes (PE's) having different branch content were mixed to investigate crystallinity, thermodynamic interaction parameter(c), and diluents effect. Crys-tallinty of PE's decreased with increasing content of amorphous cis-PBD because of a decrease in both the degree of annealing and kinetics of diffusion of the crystallizable polymer content. The thermodynamic interaction parameter(c) for the three blend systems approximately equals to zero near the melting point. These systems were determined to be miscible on a molecular scale near or above the crystalline melting point of the crystalline PE's. From the measurement of T$\sub$m/ vs. T$\sub$c/ behavior, all the three blends showed a straight line for a plot of T$\sub$m/ vs. T$\sub$c/. This result means that the melting behavior of PE is mainly due to a diluent effect of cis-PBD component.
