SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL CROWN ETHER COMPOUNDS AND lONOMER MODIFICATION OF NAFION by JONG CHAN LEE, B.S., M.S. A DISSERTATION IN CHEMISTRY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved August, 1992 L3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to Dr. Richard A. Bartsch for his constant encouragement and patience throughout my graduate career. His diligent pursuit of excellence in science inspired me to perform research for the love of it. I would like to thank Drs. Robert D. Walkup, Allan D. Headley, Dennis C. Shelly, Bruce R. Whittlesey. John N. Marx for their willingness to provide help and advice. I would also like to thank friendly co-workers. Dr. T. Hayashita, Marty Utterback, John Knobeloch, Zuan Cong Lu, J. S. Kim, and Dr. Joe McDonough for the wonderful times in the laboratory. I would like to thank Dow Chemical Company U. S. A. and Texas Advanced Technology Program for much of the funding of this research project. I would like to extend gratitude to my wonderful parents and sisters for their support throughout the years that I have spent abroad. Most importantly, I thank my wife Sun Yong without whose endless love and patience none of this would have been possible. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENS ii LIST OF TABLES xi LISTOFHGURES xii I.
