Dimethylaminopropyl methacryamide was photografted onto PET fabrics by continuous UV irradiation under ambient conditions. Several factors affecting the photografting were studied including irradiation energy, monomer and photoinitiator concentrations. ATR and ESCA analysis showed the successful grafting of the monomer onto the PET surface. The grafted PET fabrics showed higher zeta potentials below pH 7 compared with the ungrafted PET. The dyeability of the grafted PET fabrics to two $\alpha$-bromoacrylamide reactive dyes was investigated under various dyeing conditions including dye concentration, pH, dyeing temperature and time. The grafting imparted the reactive dyeability to PET fabrics, which was proportional to the grafted monomer content. The reactive dyeing behavior of the grafted PET fabrics was similar to that of conventional wool fabrics.

para-Aramid has limited dyeability because of its highly crystalline structure and compactness. To improve the dyeability of the para-aramid to reactive dyes of bright color in deep shade, the fabrics were photografted under continuous UV irradiation with dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide and 4-benzoyl benzoic acid as a monomer and a hydrogen -abstractable photoinitiator respectively. A UV energy of 35J/$cm^2$ and a photoinitiator concentration of ten percent or more with respect to the monomer in the formulation was required for optimal photografting. Grafting yield increased with higher monomer application level. Surface analysis indicated significant alterations in the atomic composition of the photografted fabric surface and the fabric surface was covered with the grafted polymers. While the pristine para-aramid fabrics showed no appreciable dyeability to the ${\alpha}$-bromoacrylamide reactive dyes, the grafted para-aramid fabrics enhanced the dyeability to the reactive dyes substantially. In case of C.I. Reactive Blue 50, a K/S value of 8.7 can be obtained with the grafted para-aramid fabrics with a grafting yield of 2.3 %. Also the color fastness properties of the dyed fabrics was excellent in the conditions of washing, rubbing and light irradiation.

We have studied the electrically controlled birefringence (ECB) mode using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer to control pretilt angle and improve electrical characteristics. The measure of capacitance confirmed new pretilt angle by RM monomer, and Voltage Holding Ratio (VHR) was increased more than normal ECB cell.

Hydroxypropyl terminated PDMS was synthesized by the hydrosilylation reaction with allyl alcohol in the presence of Karstedt's catalyst. And them, an one-pot reaction with HDI isocyanurate trimer and hydroxyethyl methacrylate was conducted to give a silicone-modified urethane acrylate oligomer (PUA oligomer) having 9000 g/mol, weight average molecular weight. The synthesized PUA oligomer was characterized by using FT-IR and GPC. The UV-curable coatings were prepared by PUA oligomer blending with a reactive monomer (phenylthioethyl acrylate) under the different mole ratios. It was found that the refractive index of cured film increased when the reactive monomer was added but there was no relationship between the refractive index and amount of reactive monomer. Also, their transmittance for cured films was not change as increasing the content of reactive monomer.

We have studied the optically compensated splay (OCS) mode using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer to reduce critical voltage, setting voltage and phase transition time from initial bend to splay state. Through the polymerization of UV curable RM monomer, the high pretilt angle from vertical alignment was formed at the surfaces. In this way, orientation of the LC with OCS mode can be achieved without setting voltage and improved electric characteristic.

One of the approaches to obtain functional polymer is polymerization of a monomer having two functional groups. Although polymerization of a monomer having two different types of functional group is general, the author has been interested in the polymerization of a monomer having two similar types of functional group. This work shows the preparation and selective polymerization of 4-methylene-2-styryl-1,3-dioxolane having two similar reactive double bonds via cationic polymerization at ambient temperature. Cationic ring-opening polymerization of 4-methylene-2-styryl-1,3-dioxolane using benzylsulfonium salt as a photo-initiator quantitatively afforded high molecular weight of poly(keto-ether).

A photo-reactive methacrylate monomer having triazine as a core component was examined for photochromic diffractive image formation. Photochromic photopolymer films as a recording media contained a monomer mixture of triazine difunctional metharylate (DT) and ethylene glycol phenyl ether acrylate, binder polymer, photo initiator, and a photochromic spiro-oxazine dye. The content of photochromic dye was changed to examine the effect of photochromophore on diffraction efficiency and real holographic image formation. Holographic recording was performed on the photopolymer film by the combination of reference and probe beam. The diffraction efficiency of the photopolymer film in real-time measurement reached a maximum of $\sim90%$ within 30s. It was highly dependent on the photochromophore contents. After holographic recording, the color of the recorded area was changed under UV light (365 nm) and reversibly bleached to original color upon exposure to a visible light source. Films containing only photochromophore without monomer mixture were not reactive under the recording beam (491nm). Diffractive image formation and mechanism of the holographic recording in the presence of photochromophore will be presented.

The paper highlights technical advances and introduces recent innovations such as smart curing laminating adhesives for flexible packaging with low migration rates of aromatic isocyanates and amines. Latent reactive one-part systems on the basis of surface deactivated solid isocyanates open up new dimensions for heat setting adhesives and waterborne PU dispersions. The new generation of Purmelt Micro Emission adhesives contains less than 0.1% of MDI monomer, thereby drastically reducing the emission of hazardous isocyanate vapors during processing and setting a significantly improved technical standard in occupational safety. Once again, polyurethane adhesives have demonstrated their unique ability to adapt to new process, product, safety and environmental requirements.

Reactive monomer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), was grafted onto low density polyethylene (LDPE) using peroxide and then reactive blend with nylon-6 was rallied out by corotating twin screw extruder. Grafting of GMA was identified using FT-IR. Graft ratio or GMA increased with reaction temperature, peroxide concentration and styrene comonomer concentration. It is observed that tensile elongation and tensile strength or LDPE-g-GMA/nylon-6 blend were higher than those of LDPE/nylon-6 blend. Morphology of blend was analyzed using SEM.
