We are crystallized to the linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) particles by a thermally induced phase separation(TIPS). TIPS process based on the phase separation mechanism was performed for the LLDPE system which undergoes liquid-solid phase separation. The linear low density polyethylene particle formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in the metastable region. Although the growth rates depended on the experimental conditions such as the polymer concentration and temperature, the particles were larger when the polymer concentration was higher or temperature was higher. The particles were observed by SEM. The LLDPE particle size distribution became broader when the polymer concentration was higher.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) 평막 제조를 위하여 PVDF의 용매와 희석제로서 n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)와 dibutyl-phthlate (DBP)를 각각 사용하여 열유도 상분리(thermally induced phase separation, TIPS)와 비용매유도 상분리(nonsolvent induced phase separation, NIPS)를 동시에 유도하였다. NMP와 DBP를 PVDF와 용융 혼합할 경우 TIPS 공정에서의 결정화 온도가 낮아졌고 NIPS 공정에서의 불안정 영역이 확대되었다. 용매와 희석제의 비율에 따라 상분리 메카니즘이 변화하였고 이에 따라 다양한 구조의 막이 형성됨을 확인하였다. 또한 dope 용액과 비용매의 접촉여부에 따라 지배적인 상분리 거동이 결정되었다. 열전달이 물질전달에 비하여 빠르게 이루어지므로 막의 표면은 NIPS에 의하여 지배를 받고 막의 내부는 TIPS에 의한 구조가 형성되었다. 또한 dope 용액의 급냉온도에 따라 상분리 메카니즘 및 상분리 속도가 변화하여 다양한 구조를 형성하였다.

In this study, we are crystallized to the low density polyethylene (LDPE) micro-particles in $n$-dodecanol solution by thermally induced phase separation(TIPS) method. The Low density polyethylene micro-particles is used in a wide variety of polymer coatings and industrial application. The utility of that for a particular application depends on a number of factors such as the particle size and distribution, and chemical composition of the materials. However, there are still needs for new methods of preparation which will provide the structure with unique sizes. The widely used processes for micro-size particles are crystallization method and thermally induced phase separation. TIPS process based on the phase separation mechanism was performed for the LDPE system which undergoes liquid-solid phase separation. Effects of various operating parameters were examined on the structure variation of the particles. Professionality, take-up speed and crystallization rate depended on temperature and concentration of polymer in solution.

Poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)(EVA) microspheres were prepared by a thermally induced phase separation. The microsphere formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in the metastable region. The diluent used was toluene. The microsphere formation and growth was followed by the cloud point of the optical microscope measurement. The microsphere size distribution, which was obtained by SEM observation and particle size analyzer, became broader when the polymer concentration was higher, the content of vinyl acetate in EVA copolymer was higher, and the cooling rate of EVA copolymer solution was lower.

Porous membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) of (ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) (EVOH)/glycerol mixtures. The liquid-liquid (L-L) phase boundaries are shifted to higher temperature when the ethylene contents in EVOH increase. Moreover, the kinetic study proved that the growth of droplets formed by the general liquid-liquid (L-L) phase separation obeyed a power-law scaling relationship in the later stage of spinodal decomposition (SD). A new phase separation mechanism was presented, in which the L-L phase separation could be resulted from the crystallization. The hollow fiber membranes were prepared. The membranes showed asymmetric structures with skin layer near the outer surface, the larger pores just below the skin layer and the smaller pores near the inner surface. The effect of ethylene content (EC) in EVOH, cooling water bath temperature and take-up speed on membrane performance was investigated.

고내열 및 고내화학적 특성을 갖는 미세다공성 고분자막의 개발을 위한 기초연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 고분자막 제조기법의 첨단기술로 등장한 열유도상 분리공정(Thermally Induced Phase Separation, 이하 TIPS)이 도입되었다. TIPS 공정은 고분자를 고분자의 용융점을 상회하는 온도에서 매우 미세하게 분산시킬 수 있는 희석제를 고분자와 함께 melt-blending하여 균일한 single phase의 용액을 만들고 이를 적당한 막의 형태로 성형한 후, 가해진 열을 제거하여 냉각시킴에 따라 polymer-rich phase 와 polymer-poor phase 로 구성되는 two phase system으로 상분리를 일으키는 방법이다. 이때 polymer-poor phase를 차지하는 희석제를 제거함에 따라 고분자 matrix 내에는 void volume이 형성되고, 그 결과 고분자 matrix 전체적으로 다공성이 부여되어 고분자막으로서의 기본적인 기능을 갖추게 된다.

미량의 Pluronics가 첨가된 PLLA/l,4-dioxane/water의 삼성분계상을 온도 변화로 유도된상 분리법을 이용하여 10~300 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 공극 크기를 가지며 공극 간의 연결성이 우수한 PLLA 다공성 지지체를 제조하였다. 순수한 PLLA 용액에 Pluronics를 첨가하면 상 분리 온도가 P-123< F-68< F-127 순서로 순차적으로 상승한다. 이는 Pluronics의 양 말단 사슬인 PEO의 영향으로 상분리 진행이 촉진되기 때문이다. 상 분리 온도의 상승으로 스피노달 영역을 증가시켜 높은 온도에서 상 분리 유도가 가능하게 된다. 또한 상 분리 진행 시간 동안에는 계면에 흡수된 Pluronics가 거대 구조를 안정화시켜 상 분리 진행 속도를 지연시키게 된다.

Monoliths are functional porous materials with a three-dimensional continuous interconnected pore structure in a single piece. A monolith with uniform shape based on poly(${\gamma}$-glutamic acid) (PGA) has been prepared via a thermally induced phase separation technique using a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide, water, and ethanol as solvent. The morphology of the obtained monolith was observed by scanning electron microscopy and the surface area of the monolith was evaluated by the Brunauer Emmett Teller method. The effects of fabrication parameters such as the concentration and molecular mass of PGA and the solvent composition have been systematically investigated. The PGA monolith was cross-linked with hexamethylene diisocyanate to produce the water-insoluble monolith. The addition of sodium chloride to the phase separation solvent affected the properties of the cross-linked monolith. The swelling ratio of the cross-linked monolith toward aqueous solutions depended on the buffer pH as well as the monolith fabrication condition. Copper(II) ion was efficiently adsorbed on the cross-linked PGA monolith, and the obtained copper-immobilized monolith showed strong antibacterial activity for Escherichia coli. By combination of the characteristic properties of PGA (e.g., high biocompatibility and biodegradability) and the unique features of monoliths (e.g., through-pore structure, large surface area, and high porosity with small pore size), the PGA monolith possesses large potentials for various industrial applications in the biomedical, environmental, analytical, and separation fields.

본 연구에서 Poly(ethylene-co-vinylalcohol) EVOH 중공사막은 열유도상분리(TIPS)법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 다양한 조건에서 제조된 모든 분리막에서 액-액 상분리에 의해 기공이 서로 연결되어 있는 스폰지 구조가 관찰되었다. 글리세롤과 PEG200은 TIPS 방법에서 희석제로 사용하였고, 냉각조에 글리세롤을 혼합한 냉매를 사용하여 중공사 외표면의 기공을 조절하였다. 또한 혼합냉매의 온도를 높여 큰 기공의 형성을 유도하였다. 본 연구에서는 고분자의 농도, 희석제, 냉각조의 영향에 따른 분리막의 구조, 투과도, 기계적 강도에 대해 실험을 통해 알아보고 상호관계에 대해 심도 있게 연구하였다.
