Asymmetric polyetherimide membrane were prepared by phase inversion method, and the effects of NaOH concentration and reaction time on the morphology change of the polyetherimide membranes were studied. The morphology of skin layers varied from dense structure to sphere structure with increasing concentration of modification solution. The thickness of dense layer increased with increasing reaction time. However, when either the concentration of modifying solution was very high or the reaction time was very long, the dense layers of the asymmetric membrane were disappeared. From these results, it was found that the surface morphology of the asymmetric polyetherimide membranes depended strongly on the modification conditions such as concentration of modification solution and reaction time. These results might be explained by the hydrolysis reaction of polyetherimide into polyamic acid by the NaOH solution.

Asymmetric polyetherimide membranes were prepared by phase inversion method. In the modification of the skin layers of polyetherimide membranes, the effects of NaOH concentration on the morphology and pervaporation separation of water-isopropanol mixtures were investigated. With increasing concentration of NaOH solution, polyamicacid structure was formed by the hydrolysis of imide group of polyetherimide, and the thickness of dense layer of the asymmetric membrane increased. In the pervaporation separation of water-isopropanol mixtures the overall permeation rate decreased and the separation factor increased with increasing concentration of NaOH solution. However, when the concentration of NaOH solution was very high, the permeation rate increased but separation factor decreased. From these results, it was found that the permeation behaviors of asymmetric polyetherimide membranes depended upon the concentration of NaOH solution. These modified membranes showed that both the permeation rate and separation factor increased as the operating temperature increased.

Amino terminated polyetherimide (AP-PEI) has been synthesized using 2,2'-bis [4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)-phenyl]propane dianhydride (BPADA) and m-phenylenediamine. Polyetherimide containing pendant carboxy group (CP-PEI) has also been synthesized by the reaction of BPADA, m-phenylenediamine and 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid. The modified PEIs were used as toughening agent for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy resin which was cured with nadic methyl anhydride (NMA). Thermal properties, fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$) and solvent resistance of toughened epoxy resin were measured. The $K_{IC}$ of epoxy resin containing 20 phr of AT-PEI was 2.88$MPa{\cdot}m^{0.5}$ without sacrificing thermal properties. The $K_{IC}$ of epoxy resin which contained 20 phr of CP-PEI was 2.82$MPa{\cdot}m^{0.5}$.

The investigation of cure kinetics, morphology, and fracture toughness studies on epoxy resin/amine terminated PEI/Anhydride system were performed by differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. Modified autocatalystic kinetics model was applied by isothermal scan test. The fracture toughness for the neat epoxy resin was 2.15 MPa m0.5 and the fracture toughness was improved 45% as neat epoxy resin system. The generation of secondary phase of AT-PEI was observed and its size was grown up by increasing contents of PEI.

Recently, high performance microelectronic devices are designed in multi-layer structure in order to make dense wiring of metal conductors in compact size. Imprint lithography have received significant attention due to an alternative technology for photolithography on such devices. In this work, we synthesized dielectric composite materials based on epoxy resin, and investigated their thermal stabilities and dynamic mechanical properties for thermal imprint lithography. In order to enhance the mechanical properties and toughness of dielectric material, various modified polyetherimide(PEI) was applied in the resin system. Curing behaviours, thermal stabilities, and dynamic mechanical properties of the dielectric materials cured with various conditions were studied using dynamic differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Universal Test Method (INSTRON).

Amino terminated polyetherimide(ATPEI) has been synthesized by bisphthalic anhydride arid m-phenylenediamine, after that characterized by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA). Fourier transform (FT-IR) spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography(GPC). ATPEI was blend to improve the toughness of bisphenol-A type epoxy resin which was cured by nadic methyl anhydride(NMA). The fracture toughness and the molphology of the toughened epoxy resin was evaluated. The toughness of ATPEI modified epoxy resin was higher than that of the PEI modified epoxy resin. In addtion, carbon fiber/ATPEI modified epoxy resin composites were fabricated and the mechanical properties of the resulted composites were investigated.

For asymmetric polyetherimide membranes having a dense layer gradient structure on the skin layer, the morphology change and pervaporation behaviors of water/isopropanol mixture through chemical modification of dense skin layer were investigated. The extent of the density was controlled by the evaporation, time, and when the evaporation time was increased from 0 min to 4 min, the permeation flux was decreased, the separation factor was increased. Also, the pervaporation behaviors of the polyetherimide membranes modified with sodium hydroxide solution, as the modification time of dense skin layer increased, the selectivity increased, and the permeation flux decreased. The morphology change identified by SEM shows that the density of dense skin layer tends to increase with increasing modification time, this result is consistent with above observations.

The sorption equilibria and permeation rates for carbon dioxide in such glassy polymer membranes with high glass-transition temperature as polyimide, polyetherimide, polysulfone and polyethersulfone membranes, were measured. The sorption isotherms for these systems can be described well by the dual-mode sorption model, whereas the pressure dependences of the mean permeability coefficients are simulated better by a modified dual-mode mobility model than the conventional dual-mode mobility model in which the Henry's law and Langmuir populations execute four kinds of diffusive movement.

1. 서론 : 본 연구는 시간이 경과함에 따라 free volume감소로 나타나는 PTMSP[Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)] memebrane의 pysical aging을 늦추거나 방지할 목적으로 PTMSP polymer를 합성하여 여기에 hydroxy-terminated PDMS를 graft시켜 PTMSP/PDMS graft copolymer를 제조하였다. 용매증발법에 의해 PTMSP memebrane 및 PTMSP/PDMS graft copolymer memebrane을 제막한 후 PTMSP막의 물리적 노화를 관찰하기 위한 시점에서 조업시간에 따른 이들 막의 transport property을 살펴 보았다. 또한 이들 polymer을 사용하여 0.5 wt%의 희박 dope solution을 제조한 후 여기에 상전환법에 의해 제조된 비대칭 PEI(polyetherimide)지지막을 dip-doping시켜 PTMSP-PEI, PTMSP/PDMS-PEI 복합막을 제조하여 상기의 두 막과 투과증발 특성을 상호 비교하여 보았다. 그리고 객관적 비교 자료를 얻을 목적으로 PDMS막과 PDMS-PEI 복합막을 각각 제막하여 동일조건에서 실험을 수행하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 수중에 미량 용해된 chloroform, trichloroethylene, perchlororthylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane 등의 유기염소계화합물 제거 실험을 통해 PTMSP, PTMSP/PDMS 등의 dense membrane과 asymmetric composite membrane 사이의 상관관계 및 이들 막들의 투과특성을 서로 비교, 분석하는데 목적을 두었다.
