EPDM에 카르복시산을 포함하는 아크릴 단량체인 methacrylic acid (MA)가 도입된 grafted EPDM을 합성하여 MA의 grafting ratio가 탄성체의 물성과 다른 고무와의 접착특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Grafted EPDM의 storage modulus는 특정온도까지는 sulfur로 가교한 EPDM vulcanizate보다 높게 유지되다가 온도가 더 높아지면 2차 결합력이 약해지면서 급격하게 감소되는 것이 관찰되었다. EPDM에 수소결합을 유도할 수 있는 반응기를 도입했을 때 grafted EPDM 분자들 간의 aggregate 형성과 그라프트된 MA의 결정성으로 인해 우수한 기계적 물성을 나타내었다. EPDM 자체는 극성이 낮고 다른 종류의 고무와 분자간 결합력이 약해서 접착이 제대로 이루어지지 않았으며 그라프트된 MA의 함량이 증가할수록 접착강도가 더 높아졌으며 MA의 grafting ratio가 10% 이상일 때에는 접착평가 시 고무시편이 부분적으로 파괴될 정도로 접착력이 우수하였다.

After the grafting of methacrylic acid (MA) to ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), a new peak at $1704cm^{-1}$ corresponding to the carboxylic acid group was observed in the infrared (IR) spectrum. This characteristic MA molecule peak grew larger as the MA contents were increased. After casting films were prepared from pure EPDM and MA-grafted EPDM, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements were made the pure EPDM exhibited a melting point of approximately $45^{\circ}C$ while that of the MA-grafted EPDM was $135{\sim}140^{\circ}C$. As the graft ratio of MA increased, the absorbed heat capacity increased at temperatures near $135{\sim}140^{\circ}C$, indicating that an increased amount of MA reacted. Furthermore, owing to the addition of crystalline MA, it is expected that strength of the elastomer will improve as the graft ratio increases, as a result of the increased number of hard segments.

The effect on the hydrolysis resistance properties by the addition of maleic anhydride grafted EMDM (MA-g-EPDM) and PP (MA-g-PP) to a PA66/GF composite was investigated with respect to the mechanical properties, thermal properties, and morphology. The degree of hydrolysis of the PA66/GF composite was measured using py-GC/MS analysis. When compared to the PA66/GFcomposite in MEG/water solution, the composites where MA-g-EPDM and MA-g-PP were added to PA66/GF showed a higher degree of hydrolysis resistance, impact strength, and thermal properties, whereas their tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus decreased. As immersion time in the solution increases, the rate of tensile strength drop of the MA-g-PP added composite appeared lower than that of the PA66/MA-g-EPDM/GF and PA66/GF composites. The py-GC/MS analysis confirmed the formation of PA66 hydrolysis reaction by products such as carboxylic acid and alkylamine with increasing immersion time.
