전자선 조사 폴리프로필렌과 블랜드의 결정화 거동은 고분자 가공시 중요한 변수중 하나이다. 저밀도폴리에틸렌(linear low density polyethylene, LDPE) 함량에 따라 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)/LDPE 블렌드를 이축압출기를 이용하여 제조하였다. 조사에 의한 가교반응을 용이하게 하기위해 가교조제로 trimethylolpropane-trimetacrylate (TMPTMA)를 PP/LDPE 블렌드 제조시 첨가하였다. PP/LDPE 블랜드의 조사가교 효율에 대한 LDPE 함량의 영향을 평가하였다. 조사시료의 비등온 결정화과정과 결정구조를 DSC, X-선회절분석(X-ray diffraction, XRD), 그리고 편광현미경(polarized optical microscope, POM)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 조사 후 시료의 용융온도가 감소하는 것은 조사에 의한 PP 사슬의 절단에 의한 것으로 판단된다. Ozawa 지수, n이 4일 때 구형, 3일 때 디스크형, 2일 때 로드형의 결정구조를 나타낸다. Ozawa 분석 결과, 순수 PP의 n 값은 3.8, 30 wt%의 LDPE를 포함하는 시료의 n은 2.3을 나타내었다. LDPE 첨가와 조사에 의해 PP의 결정구조가 구형에서 disk나 rod형으로 변화하는 것을 Ozawa 분석과 POM을 통해 확인하였다. XRD 스펙트럼의 $16.1^{\circ}$에서 나타나는 ${\beta}$ 형 결정구조가 조사 후 시편에서 사라지는데, 이는 가교결합에 의한 것으로 해석할 수 있다.

저밀도 폴리에틸렌에 대한 장시간 저온 열처리가 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 고분자의 결정화도에 미치는 효과를 고체 수소 핵자기공명을 이용하여 연구하였다. 장시간 열처리는 첫째, 저밀도 폴리에틸렌의 색깔을 엷은 노란색으로 변하게 하였고 둘째, 저밀도폴리에틸렌에서 수소 핵의 스핀-스핀 및 스핀-격자 완화시간을 증가시켰으며, 셋째, 결정화도를 줄어들게 하였다. 먼저, $T_1$의 증가를 저밀도폴리에틸렌의 전체 스핀-격자 완화시간을 결정하는 비정질 영역의 부피 감소에 의한 것이거나 분자간 가교나 수소결합에 의한 특정 분자 운동 성분의 느려짐에 의해 발생하는 것으로 고려하였다. 하지만 결정화도의 감소는 열처리에 의한 비정질 영역의 감소를 의미하므로 전자와는 배치되었다. 따라서 $T_1$의 증가는 후자에 의한 결과임을 알 수 있었다.

PE box, wrap, 그리고 25um와 50um 두께의 LDPE(low density polyethylene) 필름으로 포장한 치콘을 저장온도 $1^{\circ}C$ 와 $10^{\circ}C$에서 광조건과 암조건으로 나누어 저장성을 비교하였다. 치콘의 저장 중 생체중 감소는 $2\%$ 수준에서 외관상 품질 저하가 발생하였는데, 밀폐되지 않는 PE box의 경우 $1^{\circ}C$에서는 $2\%$, $10^{\circ}C$에서는 $3\%$의 생체중 감소를 보였다. 이에 반해 무공필름이었던 wrap, 그리고 25um와 50um 두께의 LDPE(low density polyethylene) 필름에서는 $1^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$ 모두에서 $1\%$미만의 감소를 나타내었다. 포장재내 공기 조성은 이산화탄소의 경우 $1^{\circ}C$의 50um LDPE 필름과 10"C에서는 25um LDPE 필름 처리구가 $3\~4\%$ 수준을 보였다. 에틸렌은 가장 높은 함량을 보인 50um LDPE 필름에서 온도별로 $1^{\circ}C$에서 0.3ppm, $10^{\circ}C$에서는 0.5ppm으로 낮은 수준을 보였다. 저장중 greening은 암처리에서는 나타나지 않았으나 광처리의 경우는 $10^{\circ}C$에서는 저장 3일만에 $1^{\circ}C$의 경우도 6일만에 판매하기 곤란한 상태까지 진전되었는데, $1^{\circ}C$의 경우 포장재 종류별로 포장재가 두꺼울수록 greening의 진행이 지연되는 경향을 보였다. Greening을 수치화 할 수 있는 엽록소 함량은 역시 저장온도가 낮은 $1^{\circ}C$가 $10^{\circ}C$보다 낮았고, 역시 이산화탄소 농도가 가장 높았던 50um LDPE필름에서 가장 낮은 함량을 보였는데 포장재 내부의 이산화탄소 함량과 총 엽록소 함량과의 상관관계를 조사한 결과 상관계수(r)가 $1^{\circ}C$에서 0.926 $10^{\circ}C$에서는 0.997로 고도의 상관이 있음을 알 수 있었다. Greening을 제외한 외관상 품질은 저온인 $1^{\circ}C$에서 높게 유지되었고 포장재별로는 $1^{\circ}C$에서는 50um LDPE 필름이 $10^{\circ}C$에서는 25um LDPE필름에서 가장 높은 점수를 나타내었다. 비타민 C 함량도 저온에서 높게 유지되었으며 필름종류별로는 25um와 50um LDPE 필름에서 가장 높았다. 이상의 결과로 보아 치콘의 저장 및 유통시 $1^{\circ}C$에서는 50um LDPE 필름이 $10^{\circ}C$에서는 25um LDPE 필름이 포장재로 적합한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 약간의 빛으로 greening이 급격히 진행되므로 판매과정에서 암조건을 유지하는 것이 필요하리라 생각된다.

A signal generated by partial discharge in low density Polyethylene (LDPE) and cross- linked polyethylene (XLPE) has been detected by ultrasonic sensors. The observed signal is analysed with the quantity of partial discharge, number of peaks, and energy ($\Sigma$y$^2$). It was found that signals between LDPE and XLPE are quite different and that the signal of XLPE has very long duration time and rising time, and that the quantity of partial discharge of XLPE is saturated. It was also found that tree retardant XLPE (TR-XLPE) has lower quantity of partial discharge, number of peaks, and energy than naturalal XLPE.

The effectiveness of treeing resistance in low density polyethylene containing azocompounds were investigated under radiation environments. 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthol and 4-(4-nitrophenylazo) resorcinol were selected for treeing inhibitors. LDPE containing the additives were crosslinked with dicumyl peroxide, irradiated by $Co^{60}$ ${\gamma}$-ray in the presence of air at room temperature. Treeing inception voltage, AC breakdown strength measurements were carried out for electrical insulation characteristics, thermoluminescence and gel contents were analyzed as various irradiation doses also. LDPE with treeing inhibitors showed much better insulation characteristics than pure LDPE. It is interpreted that molecular structures, polar groups and the type of radicals connected on the benzene ring of the additives affected electrical characteristics. From the results, 4-(4-nitrophenylazo) resorcinol was the most effective upon the best treeing and radiation resistance.

Water resistance of three biopolyester films, such as poly-L-lactate (PLA), poly-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHBV), and Ecoflex, and low density polyethylene (LDPE) film was investigated by measuring contact angle of various probe liquids on the films. The properties measured were initial contact angle of water, dynamic change of the water contact angle with time, and the critical surface energy of the films. Water contact angle of the biopolyester films ($57.62-68.76^{\circ}$) was lower than that of LDPE film ($85.19^{\circ}$) indicating biopolyester films are less hydrophobic. The result of dynamic change of water contact angle also showed that the biopolyester films are less water resistant than LDPE film, but much more water resistant than cellulose-based packaging materials. Apparent critical surface energy for the biopolyester films (35.15-38.55 mN/m) was higher than that of LDPE film (28.59 mN/m) indicating LDPE film is more hydrophobic.

The effects of packaging conditions on freshness extension of squash (Cucurbita moscata) were investigated during 7-day storage at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Weight loss of squash packed with corrugated paperboard box (control) was 5.5%, and those of LDPE (low density polyethylene, Ф0.02 mm), LDPE (Ф0.04mm) film and EPS (expanded polystyrene) box were 0.9%, 0.8%, and 1.1%, respectively. Firmness of EPS was 11% higher than that of control, chlorophill content of squash packed with EPS box was 18.9% higher, and total ascorbic acid content of squash packed with EPS box was 29.4% higher than that of control. Quality of packed squash was not different between EPS packages and LDPE packages. Decay of control was 1~2 pieces per box, but was not found in the LDPE, EPS box. Preferences in overall appearences of LDPE, EPS box was better than those of control.

We have prepared polymer composites of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and ionomers (Surlyn 8940) containing polar segments and metal ions by melt blending with carbon black (CB) as a conductive filler. The resistivity and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) of the ionomer/LDPE/CB composites were investigated with respect to the CB content. The ionomer content has an effect on the resistivity and percolation threshold of the polymer composites; the percolation curve exhibits a plateau at low CB content. The PTC intensity of the crosslinked ionomer/LDPE/CB composite decreased slightly at low ionomer content, and increased significantly above a critical concentration of the ionomer. Irradiation-induced crosslinking could increase the PTC intensity and decrease the NTC effect of the polymer composites. The minimum switching current (Ι$\sub$trip/) of the polymer composites decreased with temperature; the ratio of Ι$\sub$trip/ for the ionomer/LDPE/CB composite decreased to a greater extent than that of the LDPE/CB composite. The average temperature coefficient of resistance (${\alpha}$$\sub$T/) for the polymer composites increased in the low-temperature region.

In this work, the effects of nano $TiO_2$ on functionality and stability of low density polyethylene (LDPE) composite films were investigated for food packaging application. LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite films were prepared with various $TiO_2$ contents (0, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0wt%) by melt-extrusion and their basic properties such as crystallinity, chemical bonds and surface morphology were examined by XRD, FTIR and SEM. Ultraviolet (UV) light barrier property of as-prepared LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite films was also studied and the presence of nano $TiO_2$ resulted in significant improvement of UV light barrier compared to the pure LDPE film. To evaluate influence of nano $TiO_2$ on LDPE properties required as packaging material, thermal, mechanical, gas barrier and optical properties of LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite films were characterized with various analytical techniques including TGA, UTM, OTR, WVTR and UV-vis spectroscopy. As a result, except optical property of LDPE, no significant effects were found in other properties. Opacity of pure LDPE was greatly increased with increasing concentration of nano $TiO_2$.
