The most widely used glue in a corrugator is starch, which is a natural polymer. This material needs thermal energy to achieve a binding force, so a heating section is installed in a corrugator. However, this heating section can cause quality problems in linerboards and corrugating medium and increase the production cost because of the high cost of fossil resources. Therefore, a new adhesive that provides the binding force at lower temperatures than the conventional one must be developed. In this study, SB-latex was selected as a co-adhesive and added to the starch solution. The addition of the SB-latex was determined based on the viscosity of the new adhesive. The adhesive strength and the drying energy reduction of a corrugated board were measured to evaluate the functionalities of the new adhesive. The addition of SB-latex was determined to be under 20% of the oven-dried starch based on the viscosity of the new adhesive. The adhesive strength was improved and the drying energy was reduced by applying the new adhesive.

Bio-binder is well known as a promising alternative binder for SB latex because it is eco-friendly and inexpensive, compared to synthetic latex. SB latex in top coating color was substituted with starch-based bio-binder to investigate its effects on the coating color and its coated paper properties. Bio-binder contributed to the increase of coating color viscosity, and the improvement of water retention. Most optical properties except opacity were deteriorated by the increase of bio-binder dosage. It was also found that the increase of bio-binder substitution in top coating color brought about the increase of roughness, and decrease of coated paper gloss, print gloss, dry and wet pick strength. However the stiffness and the ink set-off of the bio-binder coated paper were improved. Overall, mostly adverse effects of bio-binder on the properties of coating color and its paper were observed. Therefore, it is not recommended to use bio-binder as top coating color.

대표적 진동구조물인 도로교량 바닥판에는 진동구조물의 특성에 따른 문제점을 해결하기 위해2000년 이후부터 LMC(Latex Modified Concrete)가 널리 적용되고 있다. 그러나 철도교량 바닥판은 날로 증대되는 철도교통수요를 해결하기 위해 건설물량은 늘어나고 있지만 철도교량 특성상 시공 후 설계변경 및 유지보수 관리가 어렵기 때문에 콘크리트 내구수명과 같은 내구성을 확보할 수 있는 관점에서 적용가능한 보호공법을 검토할 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 LMC의 특성 및 장점을 이용하여 철도교량 바닥판의 PCL층을 대신할 수 있으면서 교면방수 기능을 동시에 발휘할 수 있는 콘크리트 바닥판 일체형 불투수성 PCL층을 적용하고자 하며, 재료의 성능 및 방수 적합성에 대한 시험평가를 통해 그 적정성 여부를 평가하고자 한다. 6가지 항목에 대한 성능평가 결과, LMC가 철도교량 바닥판의 PCL층을 대체하여 교면방수로서 성능발현 및 적용에 이상이 없는 것으로 확인되었다.

Today's requirements for print-press runnability and print quality demand an optimised absorption and adhesion of printing ink on the paper surface. Modern coating concepts for high glossing offset grades use ultra fine pigments, whereas binder level has continuously been decreased to a minimum in recent years to achieve the highest possible sheet gloss development and for economical reasons. Both the ultra fine pigments and the reduced binder levels lead in many cases to a faster ink setting rate. On the other hand, matt paper grades use relatively coarse pigments leading to a slow ink setting compared to the high glossing papers. Both too fast and too slow ink setting properties implicate drawbacks in print quality and print press runnability. The mechanisms behind the interactions between ink and coating have been presented in many previous publications. The purpose of this study was to determine and quantify how the ink setting rate is influenced by pigment system (GCC and GCC/clay blends), latex level and latex properties in the topcoat of double coated sheet fed offset paper. The roles of binder level and type in the precoat were also assessed. The effect of calendering (temperature and pressure) was studied with one formulation. The resulting ink setting characteristics were tested using three different laboratory testing instruments. The correlation amongst the different laboratory testing methods is discussed. The results show that by varying the latex properties, the pigment system and/or latex addition level, the ink tack development of ink applied to a topcoat pigment system can be significantly influenced. It can be slowed down as often desired with ultra fine pigments or speeded up in the case of coarse pigments. There was no visible effect on the ink setting rate by using different binder systems in the precoat..

라텍스 기법으로 제조한 폴리스티렌(PS)/다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT) 나노복합재료의 라텍스 입자 크기에 따른 유변학적, 전기적 물성을 고찰하였다. 나노복합재료는 무유화제 유화중합과 분산중합으로 합성한 단분산 PS 입자에 MWCNT를 초음파 분산시킨 다음 동결건조 과정을 거쳐 제조하였다. PS/MWCNT 나노복합재료는 MWCNT 함량이 증가할수록 점차 네트워크 구조를 형성하여 저장 탄성률, 복소 점도 및 전기 전도도가 급격하게 증가하였다. MWCNT 함량에 따른 저장 탄성률 및 복소 점도 증가 효과는 라텍스 입자 크기가 큰 경우 더욱 뚜렷하였다. 입자 크기에 따른 전기적 물성은 MWCNT 함량에 따라 상이한 경향을 보여 주었는데, 함량이 적은 경우 작은 입자로 제조한 나노복합재료가 높은 전기 전도도를 보여 주었으나 함량이 증가할수록 큰 입자의 경우가 높은 값을 보여 주었다.

본 연구에서는 플라이애쉬 혼입률에 따른 라텍스개질 콘크리트의 역학적 특성과 내구성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 라텍스 혼입률 변화(0%, 10%, 15%)와 플라이애쉬 혼입률 변화(0%, 10%, 20%, 30%)를 주 실험변수로 하여 평가하였다. LMC와 FA-LMC의 특성분석을 위하여 압축강도, 휨강도 그리고 황산 및 염산에 의한 내약품성 시험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 플라이애쉬를 혼입한 라텍스 개질 콘크리트에 있어서, 플라이애쉬 혼입률이 증가함에 따라 공기량은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 FA-LMC의 압축 및 휨강도는 라텍스 개질 콘크리트(LMC)와 유사한 강도발현 특성을 보이며, 장기재령에 있어서는 FA-LMC가 LMC에 비해 높은 휨강도 발현특성을 보였다. 그리고 투수특성에 있어서 플라이애쉬의 혼입률이 증가할수록 투수저항성이 증가하였으며, 내화학약품성에 대한 저항성도 증진되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 플라이애쉬는 LMC의 혼화재로서 투수저항성을 증진시킬 목적으로 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant surge in glove usage, as recommended by the World Health Organization. Despite efforts to ensure the quality and safety of gloves, glove-associated skin diseases such as hand dermatitis have become ubiquitous, particularly among health care workers. This review discusses the prevalence, causes, and risk factors of hand dermatitis, as well as research efforts in medical gloves in the past decade to overcome glove-related hand dermatitis. Research papers from 2013 to 2022 were reviewed, selecting only 49 relevant papers from the Ovid, PubMed, and Scopus databases. The average prevalence of hand dermatitis among health care workers increased from 21.08% to 37.24% upon the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The cases are likely due to allergies to latex proteins, rubber additives, and accelerators commonly found in gloves. Using alternatives to latex gloves, such as accelerator-free and latex-free glove options, can help reduce allergy-induced hand dermatitis. Strict hand hygiene practices, such as frequent hand washing and the use of sanitizers, are also contributing factors in contracting hand dermatitis. Over the past decade, glove research advancements have focused mainly on reducing or immobilizing latex proteins. These include the use of biodegradable dialdehyde, sodium alginate, arctigenin, bromelain, papain, UV-LED, prototype photoreactors, and structure-modified nanosilica with silane A174. Two effective hand dermatitis preventive measures, i.e. an additional layer of glove liners and the use of gentle alcohol-based hand sanitizer, were recommended. These advancements represent promising steps towards mitigating hand dermatitis risks associated with glove usage.

화학겔로써 대표적인 실리카겔과 아마이드겔의 겔화(gelation)과정을 살펴보고 라텍스 입자를 추적자로 사용하는 광산란 실험을 통해 이들의 구조와 화학적 성질을 고찰하여 보았다. 표준입자(standard particle)로 쓰이는 라텍스 입자를 추적자로 사용하여 입자들의 병진운동(translational diffusion)을 고려함으로서 겔의 내부공간크기를 확인하고 겔과 입자표면과의 화학적 상호작용을 고려하였다. 실리카겔은 아마이드 겔보다 규칙적인 겔구조를 나타내는 것으로 사료되며 표면이 카르복실기를 갖는 입자는 실리카 겔과 엉킴(aggregation)현상을 나타냄을 관측하였다. 불균일(heterogeneity)한 겔의 고조확인을 위한 광산란법을 비에르고딕(non-ergodic)이론에 기초한 통계적인 방법을 통해 접근하였다.
