  • A series of inorganic-organic hybrid membranes were prepared with a systematic variation of titanium dioxidenanoparticles content. Their liquid uptake, methanol permeability and proton conductivity as a function of inoranic oxide content were investigated. The results obtained show that the inorganic oxide network decreases the proton conductivity and liquid uptake. It is also found that increase in inorganic oxide content leads to decrease of methanol permeability. In terms of the morphology, membranes are homogeneous and exhibit a good adhesion between inorganic domains and the polymer matrix. The properties of the composite membranes are compared with the standard nafion membrane.

  • The nature of the phase transition in nematic liquid crystalline elastomer is investigated using NMR and calorimetry. The balance between ordering and disordering effects of the polymer network is identified as crucial for the behavior of the order parameter near the phase transition. The change from supercritical to critical regime with adding low molecular weight liquid crystal to the elastomer is proven.

  • In this paper, the variable absorption rates and DC dielectric breakdown strength of epoxy composites were measured at boiling absorption condition in order to observe the influences of moisture in out door use. Also, in order to improve withstand voltage properties at moisture absorbtion condition. IPN (interpenetrating polymer network) method which had been already reported, was introduced and the influence was investigated. As a result, it was confirmed that the moisture absorption rate was increased and DC dielectric breakdown strength was degraded with boiling time and filler content increasing. On the other hand, it was confirmed that moisture absorption rate and DC dielectric breakdown strength degrading rate were lowered by the improvement of adhesion strength In IPN specimens.

  • Tape casting technique was successfully applied to produce porous ceramics and multi-layered ceramics containing porous layers, where spherical hollow polymer particles were introduced as pore precursors. In the presence of extreme differences in density and size between Al2O3 and pore precursor particles, hindered settling was effective in preventing segregation of component particles and packing behavior of mixed powders was improved through bimodal packing. There were two transitions in packing behavior of mixed powders. The first transition took place at 40~50 vol% pore precursor addition, where majority of pores changed from close to open pore state. The other transition occured at 60~70 vol% pore precursor addition, where pore precursor particles formed a continuous network structure.

  • Organo bifunctional silane (TESPD) is added into silica containing NR and its effects are investigated with respect to the vulcanization properties, the processability, and the physical properties. The addition of the TESPD into silica filled NR compound increases the degree of crosslinking by formation of a strong 3-dimensional network structure with silica surface via coupling reaction, which results in an improved mechanical property. It also improves the processabilities compared to the Control compound.

  • In this study, in order to improve the problem that dielectric breakdown strength decrease remarkably at high temperature, simultaneous interpenetrating polymer networks method was Introduced so that epoxy insulating material could have stable temperature characteristics and stable dielectric breakdown characteristics at whole temperature range. So network structure of epoxy/$SiO_2$ composite material was changed by adding MA and MA/PU into epoxy resin. DC voltage is applied into the specimen fabricated by this method, and then the result was compared and investigated.

  • Here we report a photo polymerization-induced hybrid alignment of a nematic liquid crystal cell which can be applied for a roll to roll fabrication process. Predominant polymerization in the vicinity of UV incident front induced a diffusion of monomers toward front slide and anisotropic polymer network was formed parallel to the polarization direction of the UV light. This induced planar alignment of liquid crystals at the front slide. Simultaneously, homeotropic alignment was induced at the bottom slide as the polymers are phase-separated from a bottom slide.

  • Micro-cell LC film and polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) film by using continuous compatible process have been developed . A high-contrast micro-cell LC film has a strong potential as a high-performance flexible device. PNLC film has the low driving voltage. Both films show the characteristics of lightness, thinness and mechanical stability.

  • In this Paper, the variable dielectric breakdown strengths of epoxy composites were investigated at belling absorption condition in order to observe the influences of moisture in out door use. Also. in order to improve withstand voltage properties at moisture absorbtion condition, IPN(interpenetrating polymer network) method was Introduced and the Influence was investigated. As Adding filler(SiO$_2$) classified by o(phr), 50(phr) and 100[phr] to two kinds of matrix resin, six kinds of specimens were manufactured. As a result, it was confirmed that dielectric breakdown strength wer degraded with boiling time and filer content increasing. But, it was confirmed that dielectric breakdown strength degrading rate were lowered by the Improvement of adhesion strength in IPN specimens.

  • Polyolefin block copolymer has been taking a great deal of attention due to their great potential in polymer industry since a new metallocene catalytic method for producing polyolefin block copolymer was developed by Dow Chemicals. However, so far, there was no systematic study of olefin block copolymer. In this review, Linear polyolefin block copolymers, containing semicrystalline poly (ethylene) (E) blocks and a rubbery block as a thermoplastic elastomer, were investigated in the viewpoint of microphase separation mode, microstructure, deformation behavior, and molecular architecture.
