Wood powders were surface-modified by plasma-treating propylene to make them compatible with PP matrix in WPC(wood powder composite). The plasma treatment of propylene resulted in the deposition of an ultrathin hydrophobic film which had the chemical structure similar to that of polypropylene. Wood powder and polypropylene were mixed to pellets by twin screw extruder and then 50 wt% wood powder/PP composites were produced by an injection machine. Tensile strength and flexural strength were improved by 7.59% and 12.43% at the maximum respectively. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) observation on the fracture surface revealed that the treatment improved the interfacial bonding and the mechanical properties of the composites.

최근 산업용 유리섬유는 고부가가치 응용분야로 대형 막구조(membrane structure)와 의공학 부품, 인쇄회로기판 등에 응용되고 있으며, 광통신의 주체인 광섬유로 활용되며 점차 그 용도를 넓혀가고 있다. 특히, 근래에 관심을 모으는 유리섬유 복합재료를 이용한 대형 막구조물은 경제성과 건축의 용이성 및 신속성 면에서 기존 건축구조보다 유리하고, 내구성도 우수하기 때문에 그 활용이 증가하고 있다. (중략)

전도성 고분자(conductive polymer)는 범용 고분자에 비해 우수한 전기적 특성을 지니는 반면, 가공이 난이하다는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 전도성 고분자의 최대 단점인 가공성의 개선을 위한 방법으로는 새로운 전도성 고분자를 합성해 내거나 화학적 개질인 공중합(copolymerizaon)이 가능하고, 물리적인 접근법으로 블렌드와 복합재료화가 가능하다. 일반적으로 널리 쓰이는 것은 블렌드와 복합재료화를 통한 물리적 접근법인데 이는 기존의 물성을 그대로 가지면서도 제조가 비교적 용이하기 때문이다. (중략)

In this work, we have prepared organophilic MMT having thermal stability by ion exchange reaction of various aromatic ammonium salts with MMT containing sodium ion. The organic modifiers having alkyl side chains and amine functional group were successfully synthesized by effectively introducing the surfaces of MMT via ion exchange reaction to form organophilic MMTs with a view to improve the reactivity and thermal stability. The WAXD patterns of organophilic MMT showed the more increased gallery spacing by $3.3{\AA}$ than that of the pristine MMT and also the onset of initial decomposition of organophilic MMT was $275^{\circ}C$ as determined by a thermogravimetric analysis. The polyimide (PI) nanocomposite films based on poly(amic acid) and organophilic MMT were prepared by a solution blending followed by cyclodehydration reaction. We have investigated the dispersity of organophilic MMTs in PI matrix by using WAXD and the effect of the organophilic MMT content on the mechanical properties of PI nanocomposite films was studied.

In this study, poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBAX)/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)-polyetherimide (PEI), and PEBAX/amine-modified ZIF-8 (amineZIF-8)-PEI composite membranes were prepared by varying the contents of ZIF-8 and amineZIF-8. Also the gas permeability properties of N2 and CO2 were investigated for each composite membrane. The N2 and CO2 permeability of the PEBAX/ZIF-8-PEI composite membrane increased as the ZIF-8 content increased, while the CO2/N2 selectivity gradually decreased. In the case of the PEBAX/amineZIF-8-PEI composite membrane, the permeability of N2 decreased slightly, and CO2 increased till amineZIF-8 amount was 0.5 wt% and then decreased when the content increased further. The CO2/N2 selectivity was the highest with a value of 78.3 at 0.5 wt% of amineZIF-8. because the amine modification in the amineZIF-8 improves the compatibility between PEBAX and amineZIF-8, It seems that amineZIF-8 was evenly dispersed in PEBAX, which could be greatly influenced by the porousity of ZIF-8 and also the affinity of amine toward CO2.

To improve the poor mechanical and thermal properties of conventional PMMA bone cement, we impregnated three types of polyethylenes (PE) (200, 3,800, and 8,000 kg/mol). MMA/xylene solution was used to modify the surfaces of PEs and new composite PMMA bone cements were manufactured by impregnating 3 wt% of the surface-modified PEs into conventional PMMA bone cement. As molecuar weigth of PE increased, tensile strengths of the manufactured composite PMMA bone cements were improved. Also, we confirmed that the curing temperatures of the composite PMMA bone cements decreased from near $100^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$.

It is well known that the interaction and adhesion between the glass fiber (GF) and polymer matrix has a significant effect in determining the properties of fiber-reinforced materials. Therefore, it is one of important considerations to modify the surface of glass fiber with an appropriate sizing. We investigated the treatment method of glass fiber with coupling agent to improve the interaction of the interfacial region. The correlation between interfacial property and interphase microstructure was also examined in an attempt to realize a proper morphology at the glass fiber surfaces.

We prepared hydrophobic silica particles by a sol-gel process from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), followed by coupling the reaction with octyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS) or hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) under various reaction conditions. We confirmed the extent of silica surface modification with organic compounds by SEM-EDS, thermogravimetry and elemental analysis. The silica particles obtained after the hydrolysis reaction of TEOS in ethanol at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 h and the coupling reaction with OTMS for 2 h at the same temperature displayed the optimum performance in terms of the dispersity in an organic solvent and the surface roughness of films composited with epoxy resins. The oxygen permeability of the composite film with modified-silica was 12% lower than that of using the film without modified-silica.
