본 연구에서는 에폭시/산무수물계에 화학양론비(r=산무수물/에폭시)를 0.5, 0.7,0.9,1.1로 변화시켜 서로 다른 두종류의 경화촉진제 1-cyanoethy1-2-ethy1-4-methy1 imidazole(2E4MZ-CN)과 N,N-dimethy1 benzy1 amine(BDMZ)을 첨가한 시료에 대한 경화거동과 경화 후 물성을 관찰하였다. 이 시료의 등온 경화거동은 동역학 측정기(dynamic mechanical analyzer, DMA)와 시차주사 열량분석기(differential scanning calorimeter, DSC)를 이용하여 조사하였다. DMA로부터 구해진 결과를 보면 경화시 상대저장강성을 (relative storage rigidity, RSR)과 상대손실강성율(relative loss rigidity, RSR)과 상대손실강성율(relative loss rigidity, RLR)의 변화가 r값과 경화촉진제의 종류에 영향을 받았다. 그리고 DSC결과는 r값이 감소함에 따라 경화가 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 경화물의 성질을 조사하기 위하여 사용된 DMA로부터 얻어진 유리전이온도(glass transition temperature, T$_{g}$)와 가교결합간의 평균분자량(average molecular weigh between crosslinks, M$_{c}$은 사용한 두 경화촉진제에 대하여 r값의 영향이 다르게 나타났다. BDMA의 경우는 T$_{g}$가 1:1화학양론비인 r=0.9에서 최고치를 보였으나, 2E4MZ-CN은 r이 감소함에 따라 계속 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 이와 같은 경향은 2E4MZ-CN을 경화촉진제로 사용하였을 때 에폭시가 과량으로 될수록 잔류 에폭시기들간의 에케르반응이 추가적으로 일어나 M$_{c}$가 감소하기 때문이다.

Mechanical properties of PVC[poly(vinylchloride)] composites containing the dust from blast and converter (Kwangyang Iron Co.) were investigated as a function of dust content. Tensile strength is increased, when the blast dust is mixed with PVC to the extent of 8.83wt % and impact strength is not significantly changed. From these results, it is suggested that blast dust containing CaO, SiO, MgO, $A1_2O_3$ and metallugical particle is compatible with PVC. Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) showed that residual weight(%) at temperature $600^{\circ}C$ increased with the amount of blast dust and differential scanning calorimetry(DCS) showed that the thermal stability of PVC composite was increased when the weight ratio of blast dust was 8.83wt % X-ray diffractometry measurement also showed their blends and structures.

The comb-type grafted polymer hydrogels, which composed of N-isopropylacrylamide monomer and oligo(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-tert-butylacrylamide) [oligo(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM)], were synthesized by redox polymerization in 5~10% methanol aqueous solution using ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS) at 4 oC for 24h. The lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) of the comb-type grafted hydrogels were decreased with increase of t-BAM content in the grafted copolymer. We observed the effect of crosslinker and concentration of oligo(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM) on the shrinking/swelling ratio of hydrogels. Changes of shrinking/swelling ratio were decreased with increase of concentration of crosslinker. The increase of grafted oligo(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM) in the hydrogel shows an fast changes of shrinking/ swelling rate. The comb-type grafted hydrogels are expected to be valuable for the sensing materials of time-temperature labels(TTLs).

Thin (~650 nm) and ultrathin (~50 nm) films of neat PMMA and PMMA containing 5 wt% of methacryl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane were prepared in this work. The effects of film thickness and POSS on glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and isothermal physical aging were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). $T_g$ depression was observed as film thickness was decreased and Ma-POSS molecules were incorporated. Enthalpy relaxation (${\Delta}H_{Relax}$) due to the isothermal physical aging was reduced by ultra-thin film thickness and the addition of Ma-POSS. KWW (Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts) equation was used to fit ${\Delta}H_{Relax}$ vs. aging time data providing the fitting parameters; maximum enthalpy recovery (${\Delta}H_{\infty}$), relaxation time (${\tau}$) and non-exponentiality parameter (${\beta}$).

The plasma polymerized styrene films were prepared by using an inter-electrode capacitively coupled gas-flow-type reactor, and the effects of plasma polymerization condition on the molecular weight distribution were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography(PyGC), Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC) and Gel Permeation Chromatography(GPC). From the above results, the very cross-linked films different from chemical characteristics of the starting monomer were taken out, and it is realized that the molecular structure, cross linking density, and molecular weight distribution could be controlled by changing the parameters such as deposition pressure, deposition power and gas flow rate. Accordingly, it is suggested that plasma polymerization method performed by inter-electrode capacitively coupled gas-flow-type reactor has good characteristics for manufacturing the functional organic thin films which can be applied in sensors, opto-electric device, photo-resist by changing the polymerization parameters.

Polystyrene (PS) particles containing the phase change material (PCM) were synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization. The polymer particles prepared with different parameters were investigated in terms of average particle size, particle distribution, and latent heat storage of encapsulated paraffin wax (PW) as PCM. The morphology and particle features of PS particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and particle size analyzer, respectively. As a result, the diameters of PS particles were adjusted with manufacturing conditions. The stable and spherical PS particles of nanosize were obtained by miniemulsion polymerization, which could be attributed to the prevention of Ostwald ripening by cosurfactant. Thermal properties of PS particle containing PCM were studied by differential scanning calorimetry. From DSC freeze-thaw cycle, PCM coated with PS exhibited the thermal energy storage and release behaviors, and the latent heat was found to be a maximum 145 J/g. It was noted that PS particles containing PCM showed a good potential as a thermal energy storage medium.

2-Chloro-N-(Cyano-2-thienyl methyl) acetamide (CCTA) is an intermediate used for synthesizing pesticides. It is stable at room temperature and pressure but can be decomposed when heat is accumulated. In this study, the decomposition characteristics were evaluated by measuring the weight change according to temperature using a Thermogravimetry analyzer(TGA), and the thermal decomposition characteristics were evaluated using Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC). The exothermic decomposition reaction occurred rapidly at about 91 ℃, and the activation energy determined by using Kissinger method, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose(KAS) method, and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa(FWO) method were 162 kJ/mol, 149 kJ/mol and 139 kJ/mol, respectively. T_D24, the temperature at which the maximum heating rate is reached within 24 hours, was evaluated as 52~55 ℃ using the estimated activation energy.

This paper presents an experimental approach to design a bending-type actuator by using a shape memory alloy wire (SMA), composite strip, and spring. The SMA wire is attached to two edges of the bent strip to apply pre-stress to the SMA wire. The spring is used to provide recovery force right after actuation of the SMA wire. To investigate thermo-mechanical characteristics of the SMA wire, a series of DSC tests have been conducted and tensile tests under various levels of pre-stress and input power have been performed. Based on the measured properties of the SMA wire, bending-type actuators are designed and tested for different combination of strip, number of springs, and input power. It has been found that a bending-type actuator with a proper combination shows fast actuation performance and low power consumption.

Since the residual stress of hydrogen tank is directly related to durability, it is very important to reduce it for safety. Type II~IV hydrogen tank are manufactured by the filament winding method, in which the fiber is impregnated with resin and wound around the liner. Residual stress in composite is affected by curing conditions and fiber tension etc. In this study, the effect of curing conditions on residual stress was analyzed when manufacturing a Type III hydrogen tank using carbon fiber filament winding process. First, the curing behavior of the epoxy resin was analyzed using a differential scanning calorimetry. Through this, the curing temperature was set to 140℃. During the same curing time, the specimens were cured under 2-stage curing condition that reached 140℃ earlier and a 4-stage curing condition that reached 140℃ later, respectively. After curing, the residual stress of the composite material was measured by the ring slitting method, and the experimental values were compared with numerical values. It was confirmed that there was a significant difference in residual stress according to the optimization of curing conditions.

The effects of calcium type catalysts addition on the thermal decomposition of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) resin have been studied in a thermal analyze. (TGA, DSC) and a small batch reactor. The calcium type catalysts tested were calcinated dolomite, lime, and calcinated oyster shell. As the results of TGA experiments, pyrolysis starting temperature for LDPE varied in the range of $330{\sim}360^{\circ}C$ according to heating rate, but EVA resin had the 1st pyrolysis temperature range of $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ and the 2nd pyrolysis temperature range of $425{\sim}525^{\circ}C$. The calcinated dolomite enhanced the pyrolysis rate in LDPE pyrolysis reaction, while the calcium type catalysts reduced the pyrolysis rate in EVA pyrolysis reaction. In the DSC experiments, addition of calcium type catalysts reduced the melting point, but did not affect to the heat of fusin. Calcinated dolomite reduced 20% of the heat of pyrolysis reaction. In the batch system experiments, the mixing of calcinated dolomite and lime enhanced the yield of fuel oil, but did not affect to the distribution of carbon numbers.
