Core-shell polymers of inorganic/organic pair, which are consisted of both core and shell component, were synthesized by sequential emulsion polymerization using ethyl methacrylate (EMA) as a shell monomer and ammonium persulfate as initiator. We found that $CaCO_3$ core should be prepared by adding 2.0wt% SDBS(sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate), $CaCO_3$ core/PEMA shell polymerization was carried out on the surface of $CaCO_3$ particle during EMA shell polymerization in the core-shell polymer preparation. The structure of core-shell polymer were investigated by measuring the degree on decomposition of $CaCO_3$ by HCI solution, thermal decomposition of polymer composite on thermogravimetric analyzer, glass transition temperature on differential scanning calorimeter, and morphology using scanning electron microscope.

To improved the conjugation between $SiO_2$ and P3HT active layer, P3HT/POSS conjugated polymers were synthesised and used as the active layers of organic TFT's. We achieved the field-effect mobilities in the saturation region ${\sim}1.19{\times}10^{-3}\;[cm^2/v{\cdot}sec]$ and on/off ratio ${\sim}2.51{\times}10^2$. These values are higher than ones of the P3HT-based OTFTs. The results also demonstrated the off-current decrease.

A new polyamide was prepared from 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)di-aniline and 4-[NN-bis(2-carboxyethyl)] amino-4'-nitrostilbene. This polymer was cast into thin films by spin coating cyclohexanone solution. After being poled, the electro-optic coefficients of electrode poled polymer films were measured by the reflection measurement technique using an incident laser beam of 1.3 Jim. The film poled at the field strength of 1.2 V/μm exhibited the electro-optic coefficient (r33) of 5.9 pm/V. The relaxation behavior of the poled polymer film was compared with other reported polymers bearing the same NLO chromophores. Due to stiff and highly polar nature of the backbone and also due to formation of interchain hydrogen bonds, this polymer reveals a slower relaxation characteristics. The polymer is amorphous and soluble in various organic solvents.

1-(2'2'3'-Tricyano-3-carbomethoxycyclopropyl)-34-di-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)benzene, (4) was prepared by the reaction of bromomalononitrile with methyl 3,4-di-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate (3). Diol 4 was condensed with tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate, 3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylenediisocyanate, and 1,6-hexamethylenediisocyanate to yield polyurethanes 5, 6, and 7 containing tricyanocyclopropane functionalities in the pendant group. The resulting polymers 5-7 were soluble in common organic solvents and the inherent viscosities were in the range of 0.25-0.30 dL/g. Polyurethanes 5-7 showed a thermal stability up to 300 $^{\circ}C$ in TGA thermograms. Solution-cast films showed Tg values in the range of 100-125 $^{\circ}C$ and piezoelectric coeffcients (d31) of the poled polymer films were 1.3-2.0 pC/N, which are acceptable for piezoelectric device applications.

Various enaminonitriles-terminated reactive polymer precursors containing rigid aromatic and flexible alkyl units were prepared from the corresponding diamines and 1-chloro-1-phenyl-2,2-dicyanoethene (1). All the enaminonitriles-terminated precursors were characterized by spectroscopies and elemental analysis. They were highly soluble in DMF and NMP, and partially soluble in common organic solvents such as THF and acetone. They showed a large exotherm around 350 ℃ attributable to the thermal polymerization by crosslinking of the dicyanovinyl group. Upon heating the precursors, heat-resistant and insoluble network polymers were obtained. Thermogravimetric analyses of the precursors containing rigid aromatic moiety exhibited thermal stability with a 10% weight loss around 420-480 ℃ and 75-88% residual weight at 500 ℃ under nitrogen.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) can be a promising alternative for the solution of dye removal from coloured effluents. Polymeric membranes are widely used due to their good film-forming ability, flexibility, separation properties, and cost. However, they have low mechanical, chemical, and thermal resistances. Moreover, the fouling of polymeric membranes is high because of their hydrophobic nature. Hence, there is an increasing interest in organic-inorganic hybrid membranes as a new-generation membrane material. It has been shown that carbon nanotubes have the potential to increase the material properties of polymers with their low density, high strength, hardness, and exceptional aspect ratio. In this work, carbon nanotubes blended MMMs were prepared and methyl orange removal efficiency of them was investigated. Compared to the bare membranes, MMMs showed not only increased hydrophilicity, water content, and pure water flux but also increased methyl orange rejection and flux recovery

The effect of block sequence on the self-assembly of ABC-type triblock copolymers in the ordered state is investigated using an isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulation. The block sequence has an important effect ,on the ]norphology of ABC triblock copolymers. Different morphologies are observed depending on the block sequence as well as the block composition. The triblock copolymers with the volume fraction of 1 : 1 : 1 ($f_A$=$f_B$=$f_C$= 0.33) show the three phase and four layered lamellar structures irrespective of the block sequence. The $A_{32}$$B_{16}$$C_{32}$triblock copolymer with $f_B$=0.2 shows a morphology In which cylinders of midblock B are formed at the interface between A and C lamellae, whereas the morphology of triblock copolymer $B_{16}$$C_{32}$ $A_{32}$ and $C_{32}$ $A_{32}$ $B_{16}$ show a cylindrical core-shell structure and a lamellar type morphology, respectively. The $A_{20}$$B_{40}$$C_{20}$the triblock copolymer with the block B as a major component shows a tricontinuous structure, whereas both $B_{40}$$C_{20}$$A_{20}$ and $C_{20}$$A_{20}$$B_{40}$ triblock coolymers exhibit the lamellar structures. When the block B has larger volrome fraction with $f_B$=0.75, the matrix is composed of block B, and other two blocks A and C form spherical domains.

Proton exchange membrane (PEM), which transfers proton from the anode to the cathode, is the key component of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Nafion is widely used as PEM due to its high proton conductivity as well as excellent chemical and physical stabilities. However, its high cost and the environmental hazards limit the commercial application in PEMFCs. To overcome these disadvantages, various alternative polymer electrolytes have been investigated for fuel cell applications. We used densely sulfonated polymers to maximize the ion conductivity of the corresponding membrane. To overcome high swelling, dipole-dipole interaction was used by introducing nitrile groups into the polymer backbone. As a result, physically-crosslinked membranes showed improved swelling ratio despite of high water uptake. All the membranes with different hydrophilic-hydrophobic compositions showed higher conductivity, despite their lower IEC, than that of Nafion-117.

Intumescent inorganic and organic coatings which dintr one from the other by the type of gas formers and the mechanisms of foam formation have been obtained and investigated. Inorganic intumescent coatings are the compositions based on water glass and mineral additives with different dispersity. Mineral additives contain adsorbed and absorbed water and carbonates which are destructed with the carbon dioxide and water evolution during the flame action on coating. The decreasing of mineral additives particle sizes under the mechanical milling with the fraction precipitation promotes the foam coke formation with less defects. Here the main structure of comparing compositions does not change. In organic coatings based on epoxy-polymers the polyammonium phosphate additive is used. It is the cabonization catalyst and the foam agent. The polyammonium phosphate of various dispersity employed is uniformly distributed on the polymeric matrix. The decreasing of the particle sizes leads to the increasing of the fire resistant properties of the intumescent coa-ting. The fire resistant analysis of the coating during more than an hour: the coating back side the temperature on plastic or wooden materials does not exceed 423K, and on metal-573K.
