Nylons were synthesized by anionic polymerization of ${\varepsilon}$--caprolactam while varying the content of catalyst. Polymerization rates, molecular weights, mechanical properities and frictional properties of the nylons were investigated. As the ratio of catalyst to initiator was increased up to 1.0%, the polymerization rate, conversion and molecular weight were found to increase, and mechanical properties except impact strength were improved. Frictional properties were affected mainly by tensile strength and hardness. According to the study on the friction coefficient, product of stress (P) and velocity (V), PV limit, and abrasive wear rate, nylon synthesized at 1.0% of the ratio of catalyst to initiator showed the best performance for sliding machine elements.

In order to make an advanced dry-friction engineering material, wax-impregnated nylons were synthesized by anionic polymerization of $\varepsilon$-caprolactam in the presence of apraffin wax. DNX-125S, which has lowest melting point among four different kinds of waxs investigated, showed excellent miscibiility with $\varepsilon$-carprolactam and no effect on the polymerization reaction. Five different kinds of wax-impregnated nylons from of DNW-125S content 0% to 8% were synthesized and tested. Among the samples, wax-free nylon has the highest yield and tensile strength and hardness, while the specimen with2% wax has the largest elongationi and energy absorption to break. The wax-impregnated nylon with a wax content 6% showdd the smallest friction coefficient under slow sliding speed and low load. Bus as the sliding speeds were increased to high, thespcieimen with 8% wax has better friction property.

Thin coating layer of clay minerals was fabricated on nylon fiber and uv-light resistivity of the clay-coated nylons, schematically shown in Figure 1, were investigated. Clay minerals with higher absorbance protect the nylon fibers more effectively from uv light. The coating process is expected as safe and stable procedure because clay and aqueous dispersion of the clay used for the process is innocuous.

RPP(maleic-anhydride grafted PP)and OPS(oxazoline grafted PS) do not react to each other, and thus show immiscibility. In this study, Nylons was added to RPP/OPS blend systems, as a reactive compatibilizer for enhancing the miscibility of the blends. When Nylon6 was added to the blends of RPP and OPS, RPP/Nylon6/OPS was produced. The effects of the molar ratio of Nylon6 on the RPP-Nylon6-OPS reaction were studied. Torque test and FT-IR analysis have been carried out to investigate the reaction of RPP/Nylon6/OPS system. The reaction torgue ratio and reaction efficiency show the maximum values at 1 : 0.66 : 1 and 1 : 1 : 1 (in moles) for RPP/Nylon6/OPS. In the RPP/Nylon6/OPS blends, their mechanical properties were changed with the molar ratio of Nylon6 and showed the highest value at molar ratio of 1.5. Physical properties and compatibility of RPP/Nylon6/OPS were compared with those of PP/Nylon6/OPS. Consequently, RPP/Nylon6/OPS plays a proper role as a reactive compatibilizer to the PP/PS blend system.

비닐 알코올의 함량이 62(EVOH-62) 및 71(EVOH-71) mole%인 에틸렌 비닐알코올 공중합체와 나일론(나일론-6, 나일론-6/12 및 나일론-12)과의 블렌드를 이축압출기에서 제 조하였으며 이들블렌드의 형택학 및 유변학적 성질을 SEM, TEM 및 RDS로 측정하였다. EVOH-61/나일론-6 및 EVOH-7/나일론-6 블렌드는 나일론의 조성이 많은 영역에서는 균 일상을 EVOH 조성이 많은 영역에서는 미세한 상분리(약 0.2$\mu$)를 나타내었다. 한편 EVOH-71/나일론-6/12 및 EVOH-71/나일론-12 블렌드는 상분리가 뚜렸하였으며 EVOH조 성이 많은 영역에서는 피브릴화가 나타났다. 낮은 진동주파수 영역에서 점도 대 조성곡선은 전반적으로 양의 편차를 보였으나 Cole-Cole plot은 나일론-6과의 블렌드가 나일론-6/12나 나일론-12와의 블렌드에 배해 유변학적인 측면에서보다 상용성이 우수함을보였다.

본 연구에서는 압출성형에서 Nylon6 를 기재로 멜라민계 난연제를 사용하여 난연성 및 물성평가를 비교, 분석하였다. 멜라민계 난연제를 선택한 이유는 탈할로겐화 추세에 일조를 하며 연기가 적고, 생분해를 하는 물질이기 때문에 큰 장점이 있다. 또한 새로운 제품 및 적용범위를 발굴하기가 상대적으로 용이하다는 장점이 있기 때문에 멜라민계 난연제를 선택하였다. 난연 Test는 UL-94 측정방법을 이용하였고 물성평가는 UTM 측정기기로 인장강도, 연신율, 굴곡강도, 굴곡탄성율 측정하였다. 또 충격강도 시험기로 충격강도를 측정하였고, 물성평가 경우에는 난연제로 인한 물성저하를 최소화 하기위해 Nano-clay 를 첨가하여 비교하였다. 연구결과는 난연 Test 경우 난연제의 함량이 $5wt\%$ 이상이면 V0급으로 나왔고 물성평가에서는 Nanoclay를 첨가한 실험이 물성저하를 대처할 수 있을 정도의 결과로 보여 진다.

The frictional properties of nylon can be improved by the impregnation of lubricants like wax, oil or graphite. The inclusion of these lubricants, on the other hand, decreases the mechanical properties of nylon, such as tensile strength, hardness and impact strength. As an attempt to maximize frictional properties, while minimizing a decrease in the mechanical properties, various kinds of nylon containing 3 wt% wax and varying contents of oil or graphite were prepared. It was found that the synergy effects to improve both friction and anti-wear properties is evidenced by impregnating a combination of wax/oil or wax/graphite. The wear rate of a nylon containing 3 wt% of wax and 1.5 wt% of oil turned out to be 1/4 of that of nylon impregnated with 8 wt% wax or 8 wt% oil. The latter showed the lowest wear rate among the nylons prepared with a single lubricant. In addition, the friction coefficient of the developed nylon was found to be very similar to the nylon with 8 wt% wax only.

We examined dyeing properties using cotton, Tencel, general nylon 66 and hollow nylon 66 treated with aqueous and ethanol extracts without mordant. The antimicrobial properties of fabrics treated with Artemisia extracts against gram positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and gram negative Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia) were also examined. The dying solution concentrations were determined from a calibration curve of the concentration and absorbance of Artemisia extracts. FTIR spectra confirmed that antimicrobial components and colorants (such as 1,8-cineol, thujone, caffeoylquinic acid and chlorophyll) were more present in ethanol extract than in aqueous extract. Nylons had higher $a^*$ and $b^*$, and lower $L^*$ values than cellulose fabrics dyed with aqueous solutions of Artemisia extracts; however, the dyed nylon fabrics were brown. Fabrics dyed with ethanol-extract added solutions were greener and had higher antimicrobial properties than those dyed with aqueous solutions; however, they faded and lost their antimicrobial properties after laundering. Fabrics regained their antimicrobial properties (especially against S. aureus) by the spraying of Artemisia ethanol extract; therefore, the application of Artemisia ethanol extract onto underwear is expected to relieve atopic dermatitis.

Oil-impregnated nylons were synthesized by anionic polymerization of ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam in the presence of mineral oils. Reaction rate and molecular weight of the product were not significantly affected by the addition of oils less than 8 phr. Physical properties such as elongation and notched impact strength were improved by the addition of oil, on the other hand hardness and tensile stress at break were slightly decreased. Oil-impregnated nylon with an oil content of 6 phr showed a minimum friction coefficient, which is only 32% compared to a friction coefficient of nylon 6 without oil.

Hot melt adhesive based on the polyamide resin was studied to improve the conventional hot melt adhesives such as ethylene-vinyl acetate which have inherent problems against creep and heat resistance. It was found that the terpolymer of nylons6, nylon66, and nylon12 or the nylon blend instead of nylon homopolymer was suitable base resin for hot melt adhesives, since the disruption of regularity in the polymer chains reduced the crystallinity, resulting in lower melting point and melt viscosity. Also, the rheological properties of the polyamide based hot melt adhesive could be controlled by the incorporation of terpene resin, butyl benzyl phthalate, and paraffin wax. The results of melt viscosities and tensile properties of adhesive itself indicated that the optimum adhesion properties could be obtained through the blending of CM831/843P resins with weight ratio 75/25~50/50. The adhesion between steel and steel was tested by using lap shear geometry. It was found that the surface roughness of steel affected the adhesion strength.
