To improve dielectric and mechanical properties of insulating composite by plasma surface treatment, new plasma surface treatment process is designed with concentric and hemi-circle electrodes system. the plasma, which is generated between anode and cathode, is induced to the upper side of the electrode system and treats the surface of the insulators. The optimal surface treatment condition is that pressure : 0.5[torr], flux density : 100[gauss], discharge current : 500[mA] and treatment time : 3 minutes. The composite filled with glass cloth surface-treated by plasma shows the improvement in electric and mechanical properties, comparing non- and coupling agent treated samples.

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 most important to modify the surface of GF with an appropriate sizing. We investigated the treatment method of GF with coupling agent to improve the interaction of the interfacial regions, and then the correlation between interfacial property and interphase microstructure was examined in an attempt to realize a proper morphology around the GF surface.

It was investigated that space charge characteristics of EPDM/XLPE laminates as a function of interfacial condition. There were no effects in charge accumulation characteristics at EPDM/XLPE laminate samples pasted treated silicone oil and silicone grease. But when the crosslinking coagent (TMPTA) was pasted in laminate samples, there was no space charge in interface of EPDM/XLPE laminate. There were no effects in the laminate sample pasted silicone grease dissolved crosslinking coagent. In the coupling agent pasted EPDM/ XLPE laminate sample, space charge was accumulated in XLPE side caused by coupling agent.

The mechanical properties of WPC(wood plastic composite) should effected with the size of wood particle size and also characteristics of wood particles. In this paper, WPC were prepared with various size of wood particles and coupling agent and the mechanical properties were evaluated. The smaller size of wood particle were used for WPC, the higher properties of WPC in tensile strength and breaking elongation were obtained. The smaller amount of wood particle were used for WPC, the higher properties of WPC in tensile strength and breaking elongation were obtained.

Dielectric and Mechanical Properties of Mica flake/ Epoxy Composite are investigated. The Mica content is about 50 wt % and its thickness is about $240{\mu}m$. The finished Mica flake/Epoxy Composite contains about 0.1-1.0 wt % of aminosilane coupling agent. Ruby Mica filler and high temperature curing Epoxy resin are used. From the viewpoint of dielectric and mechanical properities. the optimum properties is obtained for the sample post cured at $130^{\circ}C$ for 5 h ours after curing at $80^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and with 0.5 weight % silane coupling agent.

The dependence of the IR optical properties of PMMA/$Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite on the alumina content was investigated in the wavelength range of $3500-2800cm^{-1}$. The samples were prepared via emulsion polymerization technique using oleic acid as a coupling agent. Grafting density calculations were carried out by means of elemental analysis CHN to yield the best coupling agent content. FTIR analysis confirmed the existence of a chemical bond between aluminum oxide and oleic acid. The outcomes of XRD analyses showed the presence of cubic gamma aluminum oxide in the nanocomposite, in contrast to the amorphous nature of PMMA. TEM images showed the core-shell morphology of the particles other than pristine PMMA. Optical constants of the nanocomposite were calculated based on FTIR spectra and the Kramers-Kronig equations. The presence of nano alumina modified some of the optical indexes in IR region.

Natural fiber-filled polymer composites have attracted great interest due to increasing environmental concerns and their low costs. In this study, the properties of rice husk flour-filled polypropylene (PP) were analysed in view of the large quantities of this agricultural product available as residue in Brazil. The rice husk flour (RHF) was characterized by SEM and particle size distribution. The properties of the composites were studied by MFI, DMA, DSC and TGA analyses. A commercial PP modified with maleic anhydride (MAPP) was used as coupling agent. It was verified that RHF decreased the MFI of the composites and that the coupling agent decreased it even more. The efficiency of MAPP was confirmed by the high storage modulus and high loss factor of the coupled composites.

The physical properties of rubber compounds containing silica and siliane coupling agent in order to replace the carbon black and prepare for environmental regulation showed improved dynamic properties(rebound, heat build-up, $60^{\circ}C\;tan\;{\delta}$), but the abrasion resistance did not improve compared with the compounds containing carbon black. Also, curing retardation because of coherent structure of silica improved by the addition of DEG, but the mixing step change of activators did not so much improve the static and dynamic properties of the compounds containing high synthetic rubber, the status of mixing and dispersion showed that the compounds containing carbon black was much better than the compounds containing silica by TEM investigation.

It was investigated that space charge characteristics of EPDX/LPE laminates as a function of interfacial condition. There were no effects in charge accumulation characteristics at EPDM/XLPE laminate samples which were pasted with silicone oil and silicone grease. But when the crosslinking coagent (TMPTA) was pasted in laminate samples, there was no space charge in interface of EPDE/XLPE laminate and no effects in the laminate sample pasted with silicone grease dissolved crosslinking coagent. In the coupling agent pasted EPDhyXLPE laminate sample, space charge was accunlulated in XLPE side caused by coupling agent.

In order to determine what influences the interfacial charge in EPDM/XLPE laminates, We used PEA (pulsed electroacoustic) method. Interfacial properties such as space charge accumulation and breakdown strength in crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE)/ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) laminates were investigated. Interfacial charge develops when the EPDM is laminated with XLPE. It showed the positive polarity same as the simulation in case on intercase of EPDM/XLPE. In case of coupling agent added silicone oil, as increasing the content of coupling agent, the interfacial charge decreased. Details of the results are given and their origins discussed.
