This study explores whether consumers' sustainable luxury purchase (SLP), which refers to luxury consumers' conscientious purchase behavior of "buying luxury for its timeless style and durable quality that leads to extended product usage and less waste," leads to luxury consumer pleasure (LCP). Furthermore, the current study examines whether LCP leads to positive post-purchase behavior reflected by sustainable divestment intention (SDI) and repurchase intention (RI). In addition, by building on Coping Theory, we explore whether luxury consumer guilt (LCG) positively moderates the relationship between LCP and SDI. Our empirical findings of the SEM analysis based on 452 valid responses demonstrate the significant relationships between SLP and LCP, between LCP and SDI, and between LCP and RI. This implies the importance of SLP in creating a favorable consumer response, which further leads to consumers' intentions to make a sustainable divestment and to repurchase luxury. Furthermore, the critical moderating role LCG plays in the relationship between LCP and SDI was supported, stressing the importance of guilt as a trigger of consumers' sustainable divestment behavior.

Blends of silicone rubber (VMQ) and liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) were prepared using a melt blending technique in the presence and absence of glass fiber and coupling agents. The effect of glass fiber and coupling agents on the thermal, dynamic mechanical, morphological pro-perties and cure characteristics of VMQ/LCP blends were studied. The vinyl silane coupling agent showed a significant effect on the above mentioned properties of VMQ/LCP blends by reacting at the interface between VMQ and LCP. The viscosity of the VMQ/LCP blends decreased with the addition of a coupling agent. A substantial improvement in storage modulus of VMQ/LCP blends was observed in the presence of glass fiber and coupling agents. However, as a coupling agent vinyl silane proved to be better than amine for the VMQ/LCP-glass-containing blends. The thermal stability of the pure silicone rubber was higher than those of the blends. This high thermal stability of silicone rubber was attributed to the Si-O-Si bonds. However, the thermal stability of the blends decreased further in the presence of a coupling agent, possibly due to a decrease in blend crystallinity.

This paper presents a numerical simulation of quasi-brittle fracture in UHPFRC I-beam. A linear complementarity problem (LCP) is used to formulate the path-dependent hardening-softening behavior in non-holonomic rate form, and the PATH solver is employed to solve the LCP.

In this paper, two types of BPF(Band Pass Filter) which are hair-pin and interdigital have been designed for millimeter-wave application using two types of material which are LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer) and PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene) and also, their performances such as bandwidth, insertion loss, and in-band flatness are compared. The proposed BPF are designed as third-order filters, and their pass band is from 26.5 GHz to 27.3 GHz. Interdigital BPF using PTFE substrate has most wide -3 dB S21 bandwidth of 7.8 GHz and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate has most narrow -3 dB S21 bandwidth among the proposed four BPF. For in-band insertion loss, hair-pin BPF using PTFE substrate achieves low insertion loss better than -0.667 dB, and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate exhibits relatively high insertion loss among the proposed four BPF better than -0.937 dB. However, the maximum difference in insertion loss performance among the proposed four BPF is 0.27 dB, which is too small to negligible. For in-band flatness, interdigital BPF using PTFE substrate shows greatest performance of 0.017 dB, and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate exhibits the lowest performance of 0.07 dB. There are tiny difference in in-band flatness performance of 0.053 dB. As a results, it is considered that the BPF using LCP substrate can derive the performances similar to that of the BPF using PTFE substrate in Millimeter-wave band.

열방성 액정고분자와 폴리카보네이트를 대상 수지로 하여 용융혼합기로 액정고분자 의 함량, 혼합속도 및 온도등의 변환에 따른 훈련 특성을 측정하고 고분자 혼합물의 혼련조 건과 유변학적 특성 모폴로지 사이의 관계를 조사하였다. 혼련 토크는 100rpm의 혼합속도 에서 극소값을 보이며 혼합기 내의 전단속도가 낮기 때문에 혼력에의해서는 LCP가 섬유상 으로 형성되지 못하고 구형의 입자로 존재함을 알수 있었다. 혼합물의 점도는 시험된 전단 속도 영역에서 순수한 고분자보다 현저히 낮으며 5wt%의 소량 첨가로도 5배의 점도 감소 효과를 보이고 LCP함량이 약 30wt%일 경우 점도 및 혼합에너지가 최소로 되었다. Capillary 레오미터의 실험결과 LCP/PC의 점도비가 1보다 작거나 같튼 전단장하에서 LCP 는 섬유상을 형성하였으며 높은 점도비의 경우 LCP의 변형이 어려워 구형의 입자로 존재하 였다. 또한 혼합물의 PC Tg 이동은 에스터르 교환 반응에 의한 부분적인 혼화성의 증가에 기인함을 알수 있었다.

Filler loading (fiber or particulate) usually increases the melt viscosity of polymers. In contrast, the addition of these fillers and fibrillation of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) jointly decreased the viscosity of polymer melts to lower than those of pure component polymers, filler-loaded or LCP-blended ones; and even decreased the viscosity with increasing filler loading. Termed as rheological hybrid effect, this phenomenon correlated well with the LCP fibrillation in these ternary systems. Research taking fillers of various shapes and sizes showed that the filler addition promoted the LCP fibrillation, depending upon thermodynamic and dynamic factors involved.

This paper studied the sensitivity characteries of the electronic ballast for the discharge lamps, which implies variation ratio of the output power by the passive element variation. We have derived the equation to represent the lamp power, and obtained the sensitivity characteristic equations. The simulation result shows that the proposed equations are correct and very useful to design the electronic ballast with the LCpCs-type resonant tank.

전방향족 에스테르계 열방성 액정중합체(LCP) 벡트라(Vectra)와 폴리카보네이트 (PC)를 무게비 30/70으로 구성한 고분자 블렌드를 확장되는 다이를 통하여 압출한후 압출쉬 트의 탄성 및 점탄성 특성을 만능시험기(UTM)와 동적기계적 스펙트로터(RDS)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 블렌드의 기계적 특성은 기지재인 PC의 ductility에도 불구하고 순수 LCP보다 도 더 brittle하였다. 그러나 탄성률이나 인장강도 모두 PC보다 훨씬 높게 나타나 보강효과 가 확인되었다. 이러한 보강효과는 복합계 내부에서 스스로 형성된 직경 2~10$\mu$m 정도의 거대 섬유소 그리고 거대 섬유소는 다시 직경 0.05$\mu$m 정도의 미세섬유로서 구성된 형태학 적 특성으로 설명될수 있었다. 한편 블렌드의 점탄성 거동은 마치 entanglement coupling이 높은 계의 특성과 비슷하였으며 시편의 위치에 따른 특성변화는 관찰되지 않았고 순수산 LCP의 점탄성 특성과 아주 유사하였다.

The blends of polypropylene (PP) with glass filled thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP-g) have been prepared by melt mixing techniques at different blend ratios. The thermal, dynamic mechanical, crystalline and morphological characteristics of these blends were investigated. Higher percent crystallinity was observed for 10% level of LCP-g in the blend in comparison to that of other blend ratios. The thermal stability increased with LCP-g concentration in the blend with PP. The variation of storage modulus, stiffness and loss modulus as a function of blend ratios suggested the phase inversion at the 50% level of LCP-g in the blend. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs showed the creation of voids and destruction of the fiber structures during the dynamic mechanical measurements. Processing behavior of the blends depended on the fiber forming characteristics of LCP-g, which again varied with the molding temperatures.

전자기기의 수요 증가와 함께 기기의 소형화, 고집적화가 요구되어짐에 따라 packaging 기술 개발에서 필요한 소재에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라 우수한 절연특성, 낮은 열팽창계수와 낮은 흡습도를 갖고 있으며 무엇보다도 플렉시블하여 3차원 조립이 가능한 LCP가 차세대 기판 부품소재로 많이 거론되고 있다. 그러나 LCP는 구리 동박을 열 압착하여 패턴을 형성하므로 미세 패턴제작이 어려운 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 LCP의 열가소성 특성을 이용하여 seed 구리 도금 층을 형성하여 열 압착 후 패턴 도금 법으로 $10{\mu}m$ 이하의 패턴을 형성하였으며 구리층과 LCP 간의 접합강도를 열 압착 온도 별로 측정하였다.
