A set of unprecedented syndiospecific dimethyl- and diethylamino-functionalized polystyrenes was prepared by catalytically polymerizing the corresponding monomers using (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanatrane/MMAO catalytic system. Dialkylamino-functionalized styrene monomers were synthesized by Wittig reaction from the corresponding aldehyde in high yield. The resulting polymers are soluble in polar organic solvents such as THF and show good thermal stability. The chemical transformation of the syndiospecific poly(4-diethylaminostyrene) also gave new polar polymers, namely syndiotactic poly(4-diethylaminostyrene hydrochloride), which is unattainable by traditional synthetic methods.

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.

Trifunctional divinyl ether monomers 2, 4 and 6 were polymerized readily by free radical initiators to give optically transparent swelling poly(vinyl ethers) 7-9. Polymers 7-9 were not soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and DMSO due to crosslinking. Polymer 7-9 showed a thermal stability up to 300 ℃ in TGA thennograms.

Two kinds of second-order nonlinear optical copolymers were prepared by the copolymerization of the vinyl monomers containing NLO chromophore, methacrylic acid, and methyl methacrylate or butyl methacrylate. Glass transition temperatures (Tg of copolymers were around 130 ℃. The copolymers were soluble in common organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), cyclohexanone, and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The crosslinked copolymer was obtained by thermal treatment using pentaerythritol tetrakis(2-mercaptoacetate) as a crosslinker and became insoluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Poling was carried out at 120 ℃ for 20 min and identified with UV-Vis spectroscopy. Electro-optic coefficient (r33) measurement showed a value of 35 pm/V for polymer 2 at 633 nm. Temporal stability of copolymers was improved owing to the crosslinked network, which was successfully obtained at 170 ℃ for 30 min after poling.

Various enaryloxynitriles-terminated reactive polymer precursors containing rigid aromatic units were prepared from various diamines and 1-(p-formylphenyl)-1-phenyl-2,2-dicyanoethene (1). Arylate end-capped model compounds linked with azomethine bond were also prepared by reacting p-formylphenyl benzoate with diamines to compare the curing ability. The oligomers were highly soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide and N-methyl-2 -pyrrolidinone. They generally showed an exothermic curing process between $280-350^{\circ}C$, attributable to the thermal crosslinking of the dicyanovinyl group in DSC analysis, and no weight loss at curing temperature. Upon heating the polymer precursors, heat-resistant and insoluble network polymers were obtained. Thermogravimetric analyses of the precursors containing rigid aromatic units showed thermal stability with a 77-92% residual weight at $500^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen.

Polymers 7-9 were soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and DMSO. Tg values of the resulting polymers were in the range of 67-83 ℃. Electrooptic coefficient (r33) of the poled polymer films were in the range of 15-27 pm/V at 633 nm. Polymers 7-9 showed a thermal stability up to 300 ℃ in TGA thermograms, which is acceptable for NLO device applications.

Vinyl ether monomers 4, 6, and 8 polymerized readily with radical initiators to yield crosslinked polymers 10, 12, and 14. However, compounds 5, 7, and 9 were inert to radical initiators due to the steric hindrance. The resulting polymers 10, 12, and 14 were not soluble in common solvents showing a thermal stability up to $300^{\circ}C$.

Development of stabilized enzyme was attempted for cosmetic applications. Papain, a proteolytic enzyme, was stabilized through conjugation with a soluble carbohydrate biopolymer, SC-glucan$^{TM}$ . With a novel structure of the conjugation site, stability of the enzyme was significantly enhanced such that more than 90% of the initial activity retained after a month storage at 45$^{\circ}C$, while no activity were detected in native enzyme or enzyme simply mixed with SC-glucan$^{TM}$ after the storage. Conjugation with SC-glucan$^{TM}$ not only extended the half-life of the enzyme on storage at higher temperature, but was also found to protect enzymes against some components contained in cosmetic products for skin care. Cosmetic lotion containing 1 % papain conjugate was more effective and less irritative in exfoliating stratum corneum of human skin than the lotion containing 5% lactic acid, one of the current popular exfoliating agents.gents.

Rifampicin-arginine complex was prepared to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of rifampicin. Solvation method was applied to make the complex and its formation was identified by the solubility method, powder x-ray diffractometry, differential thermal analysis and spectroscopic determination. The complex was formed in the molar ratio of 1 : 1 which was proved by the slope ratio method and continuous variation method. The complex was a non-crystalline form determined by the x-ray powder diffractometric analysis. The solubility of complex in water was significantly higher than that of rifampicin itself. The stability constant and thermodynamical properties of the complex were determined to investigate the solubilization phenomena. The thermodynamic data showed that the complexation between rifampicin and arginine was an exothermic and spontaneous reaction. Simulated absorption studies carried out through the artificial lipid barrier in artificial gastric and intestinal juices. The results showed that the complex had an enhanced absorption rate of rifampicin nearly twice compared with that of rifampicin itself.

We have explained the synthesis of novel phenanthrene and pyrene substituted phthalocyanines (PC-PHE and PC-PYR) and fully confirmed the structures by its spectral, photo physical and elemental analysis. For these phthalocyanines we checked the UV-Visible absorbance in PGMEA and chloroform and transmittance checked in PGMEA. The transmittance results suggested that these phthalocyanines are showing more than 90% transmittance at the 450-550 nm region. These synthesized molecules are nicely soluble in almost all industrial solvents. We checked the aggregation property of these phthalocyanines in PGMEA, and the results suggested no any aggregation for these molecules in PGMEA. The thermogravimetric analysis results concluded that PC-PHE and PC-PYR had high thermal stability. All studies explain that these new phthalocyanines are more suitable for LCD green color filter application.
