소수성의 특성을 가지는^g , pp (polypropylene)의 표면을 이온 보조 반응법(IAR)으로 처리하여 친수성으로 개질하였다. 이온빔 보조 반응법은 고에너지 이온빔을 이용한 기존의 표면처리 방식과는 달리 1keV 영역의 에너지를 가진 이온빔을 조사하면서 시료 주위에 반응성 가스를 불어넣어 줌으로써 표면의 성질을 변화시키는 방법이다. 여기서 조사된 수소이온의 에너지는 0.6에서 1.0keV까지 변화시키고 시료의 주변에 불어주는 산소의 양은 0에서 8ml/min으로 변화시켰으며 이온 조사량은 5x1014에서 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$까지 변화시켰다. 그 결과 처리하지 않은 시료의 접촉각은 93$^{\circ}$이었으며 이온조사량이 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$이고 가속에너지가 1.0keV인 조건에서 수소 이온빔만으로 처리한 시편의 경우 접촉각은 60$^{\circ}$정도 였으나 수소이온보조 반응법으로 처리한 시편의 경우는 $10^{\circ}$이하까지 접촉각이 감소하였음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 표면처리에 따른 표면의 친수성 작용기의 형성을 예상할 수 있으며 그 존잴르 확인하기 위하여 대기중과 물속에서 각각 보관한 시료의 접촉각과 표면에너지를 계산하여보았다. 그 결과 대기중에서 방치한 시편의 경우40$^{\circ}$ 정도로 감소하였으나 증류수에 보관한 시료의 경우는 15$^{\circ}$정도의 변화를 보였다. 물과 Formamide의 접촉각의 측정으로 표면에너지를 계산한 결과 산소분위기에서 수소이온빔으로 처리된 시료는 23dyne/cm에서 64dyne/cm이상까지 변화함을 관찰하였다. 위의 결과들이 표면거칠기에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해 처리되지 않은^g , pp 의 근(root mean square)값은 8.30nm이었고 1kevdpsj지에서 불어준 산소4ml/min이고 이온 조사량이 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$인 경우 접촉각은 $10^{\circ}$를 나타냈으며 rms값은 20.8nm를 나타내었다. XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) 분석을 통하여 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$에서 산소기체를 4ml/min 불어넣어준 후 C-O, C=O, (C=O)-O등의 친수성 작용기가 형성되었음을 확인하였다.^g , pp 의 접착력을 알아보기 위해 유성 페인트를 전도성 고분자위에 후막 처리하였다. 스카치 테이프를 테스트를 통하여 이온 보조 반응법으로 처리된^g , pp 표면이 처리하지 않은 시편에 비하여 접착력 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

In order to investigate the effect of the chemical treatment of bamboo fiber on physical properties of polypropylene (PP)/bamboo fiber (BF) composites, silane coupling agents such as ${\gamma}$-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), ${\gamma}$-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GPS) and ${\gamma}$-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MRPS) were applied to BF and alkaline treated BF. Morphological properties of the chemically treated BF were confirmed by optical microscope and SEM measurements, and chemical structure changes were confirmed by FT-IR and EDS. TGA results showed that the thermal stability of silane treated BF increased. Based on the analysis of a universal testing machine and an Izod impact test, the flexural and impact properties of PP/silane treated BF composites showed higher values than those of PP/BF composites. The enhancement of interfacial adhesion properties of the PP/BF composite was checked from SEM images of the fracture of specimens after the tensile test.

In this study, pro-oxidant($d2w^{(R)}$) and rPP/ZnO nanocomposite flexible films for food packaging were prepared, and their mechanical and antimicrobial properties were investigated. As a result, the carbonyl index and hydroxyl index increased with exposured time to heat and UV rays. Surface analysis showed that the addition of zinc oxide improved the dispersibility and compatibility of the polymer, so that the surface of the composite film was smooth and the zinc oxide particles were smaller than the compared film. And it kept the physical properties by heat and UV ray blocking effect, and it worked to reduce decomposition. In the antimicrobial activity test, the microbial reduction rate was 3 logs or more at the use concentration of zinc oxide. The tensile strength was increased and the elongation was decreased. Oxidative degradability of multi-layered film in UV exposured for 72 hours, the molecular weight of the film decreased by 75.6%, 1,294 g/mol Mn and 5,920 g/mol Mw. In the safety analysis of food packaging materials, we obtained that are in standard of polypropylene, a food contact material of domestic law.

The crystallization behavior of irradiated polypropylene (PP) and the blend is an important parameter for polymer processing. Blends of PP/low density polyethylene (LDPE) with different LDPE contents were prepared by melt mixing in a twin screw extruder. The effect of the LDPE content on the irradiation effectiveness of the PP/LDPE blend with trimethylolpropane-trimetacrylate (TMPTMA) as a crosslinking co-agent was investigated in conjunction with the LDPE loading in the blend. The non-isothermal crystallization and crystal structure were measured by DSC, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and polarized optical microscopy (POM). A decrease in the melting temperature of PP was observed due to irradiation, which may be due to the PP chain scissioning effect of irradiation. The Ozawa component n represents a rod shaped, disc shaped and sphere-shaped geometry of the crystal if the value corresponds to 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Based on Ozawa analysis, the values of n were 3.8 and 2.3 for the pure PP and PP blends with 30 wt% LDPE, respectively. The fact that the crystal geometry of PP changed from spherical to disc and rod shaped was confirmed by Ozawa analysis and POM. The ${\beta}$ form XRD peak of the PP/LDPE blend at $16.1^{\circ}$ disappeared after irradiation due to the crosslinking reaction.

This study was performed to verify the structural reinforcing effect of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber. In order to verify the structural reinforcing capacity of RPET fiber, recycled PET fiber added RC slab specimens were prepared to examine the flexural capacity while those of plain concrete and those of added with PP fiber, and the behavior of the specimens were also evaluated. The result shows that the compressive strength reduces as the fiber volume fraction increases, and the rate of reduction varies from 2% to 7%. The result of the flexural capacity shows that the ultimate capacity of plain specimens is the highest compare to those fiber reinforced specimens, but it has shown that specimens reinforced by 5% PET fiber has the highest energy absorption and the ductility index. In the application of PET fiber in slab specimens has shown that ductility capacity have increased where the ultimate capacity decreasing. That is the different tendency of beam specimens, which the ultimate capacity and the ductility of those have both shown the improvement compare to plain concrete specimens, which means the reinforcing effect of PET fiber in slab is less strong than in beam. Therefore, the application of PET fiber in slab structures as reinforcement needs the proper mix proportion of concrete and volume fraction of PET fiber with deep consideration of the structures.

Polymer blends containing polypropylene (PP) with compatibilizers were prepared using twin screw extruder. Physical properties were investigated using universal test machine (UTM) and Izod impact tester. In the PP/acrylonitrilebutadiene-styrene (ABS) blends, mechanical strength was increased with the addition of PP-g-styrene acryloritrile (PP-g-SAN) compatibilizer, and the ductility was increased with the addition of ethylene-ethyl acrylate-maleic anhydride (E-EAMAH-g-SAN) compatibilizer. For the PP/ABS/ polycarbonate (PC)/Nylon-6,6 blends, impact strength was increased with the addition of ethylene glycidylmethacrylate (E-GMA compatibilizer) up to 0.5 phr. In the case of the PP/ABS/PC/Nylon-6,6/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/poly(oxymethylene) (POM)/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVC)/poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) blends, mechanical properties were increased by the complex compatibilizing effects of PP-g-SAN, E-EA-MAH-g-SAN and E-GMA, respectively.

In this study, the strain rate dependent tensile and compressive properties of PP-LGF and TPO was investigated under the high strain rate by using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). The SHPB is the most widely used apparatus to characterize dynamic mechanical behavior of materials at high strain rates between 100 s^-1 and 10,000 s^-1. The SHPB test is based on the wave propagation theory which was developed to give the stress, strain and strain rate in the specimen using the strains measured in the incident and transmission bars. In addition, to verify the strain data obtained from SHPB, the specimen was photographed with a high-speed camera and compared with the strain data obtained through the Digital Image Correlation (DIC).

Effect of poly(propylene-co-octene) as a compatibilizer in toughened polypropylene/ poly(ethylene-co-octene) (EOC) was investigated. The EOCs used were metallocene catalyzed commercial linear low density polyethylene and they are elastomeric materials. The poly(propylene-co-octene) was synthesized by metallocene catalyst in our laboratory to be used as a compatibilizer in PP/EOC blends. PP/EOC blends without compatibilizer shows very low mechanical properties in specimens with weldlines while incorporation of a compatibilizer significantly increases the mechanical properties of specimens with weldlines. However, compatibilized PP/EOC blends does not show increased impact property in a weldline free specimen and it is attributed to low molecular weight of the poly(propylene-co-octene) synthesized in present study. It is expected that the poly(propylene-co-octene) having increased molecular weight provides very good performance as an effective compatibilizer in toughened polypropylene/EOC blends.
