Abstract
In this work, two types of copolymers are manufactured by a radical polymerization to develop a material for humid membrane. Each copolymer contains three monomers that have functions to improve humid-resistance, membrane stability, flexibility, impedance, and adhesion to the electrode. MDBAB(N,N -dimethyl-2-methacryloxyethyl-3-bromopropyl ammonium bromide) having a salt form decreases the impedance of the humid membrane and reacts with amines to produce a cross-linking structure. HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) has an important role which reduces the impedance and increases the adhesion strength to the electrode. The other monomers are DAEMA(N,N-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate), 4-VP(4-vinyl pyridine), and 2-EHA(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) and all the monomers are formulated with several compositions to make a humid membrane. At specific composition, we could attain a satisfactory results having good performance and long term durability.

고분자 습도센서 막으로 사용하기 위한 두 가지 타입의 공중합체를 라디칼 중합방식에 의하여 제조하였다. 각각 공중합체는 세 가지의 단량체를 포함하여 제조하였는데, 각 단량체들은 습도 저항성, 막 안정성, 유연성, 임피던스 및 전극 부착력을 증대시키는 효과를 가지도록 하였다. 염 형태의 MDBAB는 제조된 습도 막의 임피던스를 감소시키는 효과를 보였으며 아민과 반응하여 가교 구조를 생성하였다. DAEMA, 4-VP, 및 2-EHA를 사용하여 습도막 제조를 위하여 몇 가지 조성물을 제조하였다. 특정 조성 조건에서 성능 및 장기 내구성 측면에서 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
