SBR, polyurethane and epoxy latex were separately blended with ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA) emulsion In $0{\sim}50%$. EVA emulsion was not reacted with latexes in liquid phase and mixtures had good stroage stability. The viscosity of cement mixtures was elevated to 20,000cps in $0.5{\sim}2.0$ hours by mixing. The mixtures mixed with pigment represented high viscosity and showed higher viscosity as time goes by. Mixtures had higher hardness with mixing SBR than mixing epoxy or urethane. The hardness was suddenly increased over cement content 30%. showed pencil hardness $H{\sim}2H$ in $50{\sim}60%$. The increase of hardness in high solids was depended upon not only the condensation of latexs but also the coagulation and adhesion of cement particle.

Poly(ethylene-co-vinylacetate) (EVA) microspheres were prepared by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) in toluene. The microsphere formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in metastable region. The effects of the concentration and component of the polymer and cooling rate on microsphere formation were investigated. The microsphere formation and growth were followed by the cloud point of the optical microscope measurement. The microsphere size distribution, which was obtained by particle size analyzer, became broader when the polymer concentration was higher, the content of vinyl acetate in EVA copolymer was higher, the cooling rate of EVA copolymer solution were lower. The content of disperse dye in EVA microsphere was obtained by TGA thermal analysis, the dye content of EVA15 and EVA18 were 3.5 and 2.0 wt% respectively.

태양전지 모듈의 25년 이상 보증을 위해 태양전지 모듈을 구성하는 부품 소재의 장기 열화메카니즘 연구가 중요시되고 있다. 그 중 봉지제(Encapsulation) 부품으로 적용되고 있는 태양전지 모듈용 에틸렌 비닐 아세테이트(Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, EVA)는 셀을 보호하는 폴리머 부품으로 장기 열화특성 연구가 중요하다. 따라서 EVA를 가속열화하여 25년 보증 내구성을 보유하고 있는지 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 태양전지 모듈을 구성하는 재료 중 외부환경에 민감한 폴리머 소재인 EVA의 Ultraviolet (UV), 온도 두 환경스트레스 조건을 적용한 가속수명시험을 수행하고 장기 열화메카니즘을 분석하였다. 시험에 앞서 UV/온도 가속수명시험을 설계하였다. UV/온도 가속조건을 설정하기 위해 실환경에서 변화하는 UV와 온도를 일정한 값으로 나타낼 수 있는 유효 UV (Effective UV)와 유효 온도(Effective temperature)를 도출하였다. 이를 통해 UV/온도 가속조건을 설정하였고 1년 및 25년 동안 EVA에 인가되는 stress와 동일한 양을 인가할 수 있는 시험시간을 결정하였다.

태양전지 모듈의 25년 이상 보증을 위해 태양전지 모듈을 구성하는 부품 소재의 신뢰성이 부각되고 있다. 현재까지 알려진 태양전지 모듈용 에틸렌 아세테이트 비닐(ethylene Vinyl Acetate, EVA)의 주요 열화 메카니즘은 황변(yellowing)과 박리(delaminaation)이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 태양전지 모듈을 구성하는 재료 중 EVA 소재의 열화 메커니즘을 도출하기 위해 이미 알려진 스트레스 인자를 이용한 가속 열화시험을 설계한 후 가속열화시험을 실시하였으며, 이로부터 EVA의 열화 메카니즘을 규명하였다. 열화모드 재현을 위해 소형 태양광 모듈을 제작하였으며, Weather-Ometer를 이용하여 열화시험을 수행하였다. 시험조건은 4종 Phase가 1 사이클이 되도록 실험하였으며, Dark 조건 1 Phase 및 Light 조건 3 Phase 조건으로 실시하였다. 태양전지 모듈의 열화량은 매 500 사이클 마다 Light I-V 변화량을 측정하여 분석하였다. EVA의 물리 화학적 열화분석을 위해 단면분석, 적외선분광기(Fourier Transform-Infra Red, FT-IR) 및 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 열화 특성에 대한 분석을 실시하였고, 이를 근거로 EVA의 열화 메커니즘을 규명하였다.

태양전지 모듈의 25년 이상 장기간 정상 발전을 위해 태양전지 모듈을 구성하는 부품 소재의 장기 열화메커니즘 연구가 중요시되고 있다. 결정질 및 박막 태양전지 모듈 내 셀을 보호하기 위한 봉지재(Encapsulation)로 다양한 폴리머 재료가 적용되고 있다. 봉지재 부품으로 적용되고 있는 에틸렌 비닐 아세테이트(Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, EVA)는 장기 열화특성 및 내구성 개선 연구가 중요하다. 따라서 EVA를 가속열화하여 열화메커니즘 분석과 25년 보증 내구성을 보유하고 있는지 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 EVA의 Ultraviolet(UV), 온도 복합 환경스트레스 조건을 적용한 가속시험을 수행하고 장기 열화메커니즘을 분석하였다. 수명 및 손상모델을 이용하여 실환경에서 변화하는 UV와 온도를 일정한 값으로 나타낼 수 있는 UV/온도 가속조건을 설계하였다. 이를 통해 UV/온도 가속조건을 설정하였고 1년 및 25년 동안 EVA에 인가되는 stress와 유사한 양을 인가할 수 있는 시험시간을 결정하였다. 시험 후 전자현미경, AFM, FT-IR, TGA, DSC 등의 분석을 통해 열화메커니즘을 도출하였다.

The blends of waste-polyethylene (W-PE)/waste-ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (W-EVA) with inorganic and phosphorous flame retardants (i.e., aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and so on) were prepared by melt mixing techniques at different compositions and foamed. The flame retardancy and foaming properties of the blends, limiting oxygen index (LOI), heat release rate (HRR), carbon monoxide yield (COY), total heat release (THR), effective heat of combustion (EHC), expandability and cell structure were investigated using cone calorimeter, SEM, LOI tester and polarizing microscope. When the composition ratios of the W-PE/W-EVA blends were 50/50 (w/w), and the ranges of the flame retardants contents were $175{\sim}220 phr$, we could obtain foams with the uniform and closed cell, high expandability (1900 % or more), high LOI, and low HRR values. These results depend on crosslinking and loaming conditions, a char formation and smoke suppressing effect. Aluminium hydroxide had more effect in the increase of LOI than magnesium hydroxide, while magnesium hydroxide considerably affected the decrease of HRR and COY.

The present study aims to investigate the level difference of floor impact noises of composite floor structure using EVA resilient materials. In order to this, four different types of resilient materials were designed combining PET, PP sheet and EVA mount including Flat type, Deck type, Cavity type and Mount type. Totally 9 different samples were made for acoustic measurements which were carried out twice with bang-machine and impact ball as the heavy-weight floor impact noise sources. All the floor impact noise measurements were undertaken at the authentication institution. As a result, concerning Flat and Cavity types, it was found that 2 dB ~ 5 dB of heavy-weight floor impact noise was reduced supplementally when PET was added, while floor impact noise larger than 50 dB was acquired when single resilient material was used. Especially, most high performance was obtained for Mount type with 1st grade of light-weight floor impact noise and 2nd grade of heavy-weight floor impact noise. This is because of material property with low dense PET sound absorption materials which fill all around EVA mounts. Also, it was considered that this results are due to the sound impact absorption by the both EVA mounts and the air cavity between EVA mount and PP sheet. Also, it was found that at least 36 EVA mounts per 1m2 area of resilient panel make more noise reduction of heavy-weight floor impact noises.

SBR, polyurethane, acryl and epoxy latex were separately mixed with ethylene -vinylacetate emulsion(EVA) in the range of $0{\sim}50wt%$. For the mixtures, the various physical properties such as defoamerability, mechanical property, and water resistance were experimentally examined. The excellent defoamer was BYK-021 and the appropriate use of it was 0.3 phr for the total components. The shrinkage of compounds was influenced by the compatability of resins and the formation of voids. The mechanical properties was related to the cohesive force of resin particles, the coagulation of cement particles and the co-bonding of resin particles with cement particles. Mixing latex separately showed better properties then non-mixing in the shrinkage ratio, flexural strength, adhesive strength, and impact strength. The water resistance of composites mixed with cement was worse than that of EVA resin.

SBR, polyurethane, acryl and epoxy latex were seperately mixed with ethylene-vinylacetate emulsion(EVA) in the range of $0{\sim}50%$ (wt.% ). For the mixtures, the various physical properties were examined. The viscosity of mixtures was mainly influenced by compatability with EVA emulsion, was decreased within 20% (wt.% ) of latex content, and showed the similar values over 20% (wt.% ) of latex content. The workable time of cement mixtures was mainly depended on the reactivity with cement. The formation of film could be only within $30{\sim}40$ minutes from mixing cement. The tack-free time of mixtures was influenced by the sorts of resin and the quantity of cement. The slow order of tack-free time was epoxy mixtures>SBR mixtures>urethane mixtures>acryl mixtures. The pencil hardness of mixtures was $4B{\sim}2H$, represented higher value in cement mixtures than in emulsion state.

Environmental problems due to waste tire and waste plastics let us develop practical and economically feasible products. For this purpose, the characteristics of waste tire/plastic composites including various additives were examined using internal mixer. Experimental results indicated that the tensile strength and the flexural strength of waste tire/plastic composites decreased with the waste tire content. When 20 wt% of PP was added to the waste tire (60 wt%)/HDPE composites, the tensile strength was 1.5 times higher than the composite without PP, It was also found that the strain at break of composites increased by 2.5 times with 10 wt% addition of ethylene vinyl acetate and styrene ethylene butylenes styrene respectively. When 10 wt% of glass fiber was added to waste tire (60 wt%)/ HDPE composites, the tensile strength was 63% higher than the composite without glass fiber.
