In this study, diethylaminoethyl methacrylate-styrene-butadiene terpolymer (DEAEMA-SBR), in which diethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA) was introduced to the SBR molecule as a third monomer, was synthesized by cold emulsion polymerization. It is expected that amine group introduced to a rubber molecule would improve dispersion of silica by the formation of hydrogen bond (or ionic coupling) between the amine group and silanol groups of silica surface. The chemical structure of DEAEMA-SBR was analyzed using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Then, various properties of DEAEMA-SBR/silica composite such as crosslink density, bound rubber content, abrasion resistance, and mechanical properties were evaluated. As a result, bound rubber content and crosslink density of DEAEMA-SBR/silica compound were higher than those of the SBR 1721 composite. Abrasion resistance and moduli at 300% elongation of the DEAEMA-SBR/silica composite were better than those of SBR 1721 composite due to the high bound rubber content and crosslink density. These results are attributed to high affinity between DEAEMA-SBR and silica. The proposed study suggests that DEAEMA-SBR can help to improve mechanical properties and abrasion resistance of the tire tread part.

본 연구에서는, 오존 처리에 의한 카본블랙의 표면특성을 X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS)와 접촉각을 통하여 알아보았으며, 카본블랙/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) 복합재료의 기계적 물성은 가교밀도와 인열 에너지 ($G_{IIIC}$)를 측정하여 관찰하였다. 본 실험결과, 오존 처리에 의해 카본블랙 표면에 도입된 산소를 함유한 관능기가 카본블랙의 표면자유에너지를 증가시켰으며, 결과적으로 고무 복합재료의 가교밀도와 인열 에너지가 향상되었다. 이러한 결과는 오존처리에 의해 카본블랙 표면에 도입된 산소를 함유한 관능기가 카본블랙과 고무사이의 계면 결합력을 증가시켜 고무 복합재료의 기계적 물성을 향상시킨 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

가황 EPDM(ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer) 고무를 화학적 탈황처리 방법을 통하여 가교 밀도를 감소시키고자 시도하였다. 화학적 탈황처리를 위하여 상이동 촉매(phase transfer catalyst), 알카리 금속인 sodium, triphenylphosphine 등을 탈황 조제로 사용하였으며 또한 2-butanol을 탈황반응의 반응용매로 사용한 경우에 대한 탈황처리 효과도 아울러 조사하였다. 4급 암모니움염 형태의 상이동 촉매를 탈황반응에 이용할 경우 촉매의 분자량에 따른 변화 그리고 bromide(Br) 음이온 대비 chloride(Cl)음이온 사용에 따른 변화 등을 비교하였다. Sodium(Na)을 탈황반응에 투여할 경우 Na의 사용량, 반응온도, 반응시간 그리고 반응 분위기로 이용된 수소가스의 압력 등 반응변수에 따른 탈황효과를 살펴보았다. 가교밀도를 정량적으로 나타내는 수치인 $M_c$값(가교점 사이의 수평균 분자량)을 평형팽윤법을 이용하여 실험적으로 결정하였고 가황 EPDM 고무시료의 탈황효과 분석은 탈황 전과 탈황 후 시료에 대한 $M_c$ 값을 비교함으로써 수행되었다.

가교 시스템이 다른 NR 가황물의 열노화에 의한 물성 변화를 연구하였다. 두 가지 황가교 시스템과 한 가지 레졸 가교 시스템을 도입하였으며, 가교제 함량을 변화시켰다. 황 가교시스템으로 만든 NR 가황물의 경우, $90^{\circ}C$에서 3일간 노화 후 경도와 모듈러스는 증가한 반면 신율과 인장강도는 감소하였다. 레졸 가교 시스템으로 만든 NR 가황물의 경우에는 노화 후 전반적으로 물성이 하락하였다. 열노화에 의한 물성 변화를 가교밀도의 변화로 설명하였다. 노화 후, 황 가교 시스템으로 만든 NR 가황물의 가교밀도는 증가한 반면, 레졸 가교 시스템으로 만든 NR 가황물의 가교밀도는 감소하였다. 노화방지제의 이동이 물성에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 조사하였다. 그러나 노화방지제의 이동으로는 노화에 의한 물성의 변화를 충분히 설명할 수 없었다.

Influence of amino acidic chemical on properties of maleic anhydride-grafted ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer/zinc oxide (EPDM-g-MAH/ZnO) composites was investigated. 4-Aminosalicylic acid (ASA), 4-amino-2-methoxybenzoic acid (AMBA), 12-aminolauric acid (ALA), and glutamine (Gln) were employed as the amino acidic chemicals. Though small quantity (0.5 phr) of the amino acidic chemical was added to the EPDM-g-MAH/ZnO composite, the properties were notably changed. By adding the amino acidic chemical, the percent crystallinity and apparent crosslink density were reduced. Order of the percent crystallinity was related to that of the $pK_a$ values of amino acidic chemicals. By adding the amino acidic chemical, the basic tensile properties were on the whole improved. The experimental results were explained by the $pK_a$ values of amino acidic chemicals, change of zinc ionomer formation, and interactions between the additive and EPDM-g-MAH chain.

Cryogenic crushing techniques have been employed for recycling waste rubber articles and for extracting residual organic additives present in rubber samples. Rubber particulate derived from tire tread abrasion is one of the key components of road dust. Therefore, in this work, we prepared rubber particulates using a cryogenic crusher and characterized their shapes as well as size distributions according to the type of rubber. The rubber particulates exhibited uneven surfaces with the presence of some small pieces. The order of the particle size distribution was observed to be: NR > BR > SBR. Subsequently, carbon black was added; this led to a decrease in the particle size and the shape becoming rougher. The crushed particulates of the carbon black-filled samples comprised agglomerated shapes of small pieces, which were similar in shape to that of wear debris in tire tread. It was discovered that crosslink density was one of the principal factors that led to the formation of small crushed particulates. The small particulates obtained by cryogenic crushing can be utilized as model rubber particulates for researching micro dust.

Vitamin K has been suggested to plays a role in bone metabolism. The objective of this study was to determine whether vitamin K2 supplementation is related to bone mineral density, bone formation markers, and bone resorption in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Forty Sprague-Dawley female rats (body weight, $200{\pm}10$ g) were divided into four groups: a sham group fed a control diet, a sham group fed a vitamin K2 supplemented diet, OVX fed a control diet, and OVX fed a vitamin $K_2$ supplemented diet (3.5 mg vitamin $K_2$/kg diet). All rats were fed the experimental diets for 6 weeks, and deionized water was provided ad libitum. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), osteocalcin, and urinary deoxypyridinoline crosslink values were measured as markers of bone formation and resorption. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content were measured in the spine and femur using PIXImus (GE Lunar Co., Madison, WI, USA). No significant differences in body weight gain, food intake, or food efficiency ratio were observed between the control and experimental groups. Serum ALP, osteocalcin, and urinary crosslink values were not significantly different between the vitamin $K_2$ supplemented groups. No significant differences were observed for any of the variables in the sham group. Spine BMD values were significantly lower in the OVX than those in the sham groups. Spine and femur BMD per weight of vitamin $K_2$ tended to be higher than the control diet group within the OVX group, but no significant differences were observed. In conclusion, dietary vitamin $K_2$ supplementation may have a beneficial effect on spine and femur BMD in OVX rats. Further research is needed to understand the potential benefits of vitamin $K_2$ on bone loss in OVX rats.
