본 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌 (PP)과 에틸렌 비닐알코올 공중합체 (EVOH)의 블렌드에 있어 발생하는 상분리 현상을 방지하고자 PP에 itaconic acid (IA)가 그라프트 된 PP-g-IA 를 상용화제로 이용하였다. PP-g-IA 상용화제는 PP base에 IA의 투입량을 1, 2, 5, 10 wt.% 로 달리하면서 투입하여 제조하였으며, FT-IR과 $^1H$ NMR 분석을 통하여 성공적으로 PP에 IA가 그래프트 되었음을 확인하였다. 이 중 그래프트율이 1% 로 가장 높게 나타난 PP-g-IA 상용화제를 PP/EVOH 블렌드 연구에 적용하였다. 신규 상용화제가 적용된 PP/EVOH 블렌드는 SEM을 이용하여 모폴로지를 관찰하였고, DSC 와 UTM를 이용하여 열적 기계적 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, PP-g-IA 상용화제는 PP/EVOH 블렌드의 계면접착력을 향상시키는 것으로 나타나 상용화제로써의 유효성이 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 블렌드 내의 분산상을 잘 발달된 판상 구조로 발현시켜 폴리프로필렌 (PP)/에틸렌 비닐알코올 공중합체 (EVOH) 블렌드의 차단 성질을 향상시키기 위하여 필름 제조 공정으로써 이축연신 공정을 사용하였다. 분산상 수지와 연속상 수지의 점도비로부터 용융 압출 공정시 변형의 정도를 파악하기 위하여 각 수지의 유변물성을 측정하였으며, 상용화제 함량과 연신 배율 및 연신 온도 등이 이축연신 블렌드 필름의 산소 투과도와 모폴로지에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. l5 wt%의 EVOH를 첨가한 PP/EVOH 블렌드 필름의 산소차단성은 EVOH 분산상이 이축연신에 의해 넓은 면적의 판상구조로 발현되어 순수 PP에 비해 10배 정도까지 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 모폴로지를 조절하친 두 상간의 계면결합력을 증진시키기 위하여 PP-g-MAH와 ionomer를 사용한 결과, 차단 효과를 효과적으로 향상시키기 위해서는 상용화제를 블렌드에 최적의 함량으로 첨가해야 한다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한 높은 연신 배율과 연신 온도로 이축연신하여 제조된 블렌드 필름에서 더욱 뚜렷한 판상 모폴로지가 관찰되었으며, 차단효과는 증가한 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we prepared epoxidized poly ethylene-ter-1-decene-ter-divinylbenzene (Epo-PEHV) as a reactive compatibilizer to prevent phase separation phenomenon which occurs upon blending polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH). Firstly, PEHV was prepared under high catalyst activity according to content of catalyst and cocatalyst. After then, we modified vinyl group of the terpolymer with epoxy group. We observed that the terpolymer was successfully epoxidized by 1H-NMR and FT-IR analysis. The Epo-PEHV was added by 2, 5, 10% in PP/EVOH blends. The morphologies and mechanical properties of PP/Epo-PEHV/EVOH blends were analyzed by SEM and UTM, respectively. Epo-PEHV enhanced the interfacial adhesion of PP and EVOH blends.

PP hollow fiber membrane was hydrophilized by EVOH dip coating followed by low temperature plasma treatment and UV irradiation. EVOH coating attained high water flux without any prewetting but its stability did not guaranteed at high water permeation rate. At high water permeation rate, water flux declined gradually due to swelling and delamination of the EVOH coating layer causing pore blocking effect. However, plasma treatment reduces the swelling, which suppress delamination of the EVOH coating layer from PP support result in relieving the flux decline. Also, UV irradiation helped the crosslinking of the EVOH coating layer to enhance the performance at low water permeation rate. FT-IR and ESCA analyses reveal that EVOH dip coating performed homogeneously through not only membrane surface but also matrix. Thermogram of EVOH film modified plasma treatment and W irradiation show that crosslinking density of EVOH layer increased. Chemical modification by plasma treatment and UV irradiation stabilized the hydrophilic coating layer to increase the critical flux of the submerged membrane.

PP-EVOH(poly(vinyl alchol-co-ethylene)) blends were prepared by the mixing of polypropylene and poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) containing 38mol% of ethylene units (EVOH38) at melt state above PP melting temperature. The materials were characterized by using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and contact angle measurement to detemine the glass transition, meltin, decomposition temperatures, and wettability respectively. From the results, PP-EVOH(poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene)) blends exgibits partial miscibility.

Increasing use of plastics in food packaging materials has led to the issue of food-plastic packaging materials's mutual interactions. Although the plastic packaging materials are generally considered as inert, migration and sorption of fatty materials are some of the problems associated with their use. So, this work investigated the compatibility of three structurally different polymers, polypropylene (PP), polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) with some structurally different food fats. The main goal was to study the sorption of food fats by the plastic films and to see what extent mechanical properties of the plastic films was affected by plasticization effect due to sorption of fatty materials. PP, PET, and EVOH films was immersed in pure triglycerides, and then extracted with hexane and analyzed for the amounts of fat migrated. The sorbed films were also investigated for change in mechanical properties. Result showed that structural factor of the films and fatty materials plays important role in th migration process. The fat with the simplest structure are migrated more easily that the fat with more complex structure. However, structural effect of migration was varied according to degree of crystallinity and density of plastic films. In addition to that, polarity of plastic film was affected migration of fatty materials significantly. Additional research is needed to justify the reason why migration of fatty materials into the films was affected by polarity and structural integrity.

Amount of residual ink solvent on the packaging materials from Korea, Japan and Europe was measured and compared. The amount of packaging materials from Korea was much higher than that of Japan and Europe. To reduce the residual amounts of ink solvent, aging condition of printed packaging materials including aging time and temperature was modified and evaluated. Aging with high temperature and short time ($60^{\circ}C$ and 24 hours) was more effective for reduction of residual amount of ink solvent than that with low temperature and long time. To find out change of reduction pattern of residual amount of solvent according to plastic packaging material, several monolayer and multilayer packaging materials were selected. Among the monolayer packaging materials, the amount of EVOH and PET was lower than that of polyolefin plastic film including PE and PP. PP/EVOH/PET among the selected multilayer film showed the lowest amount of residual ink solvent on food packaging materials. Result of this research revealed that the residual amount of ink solvent can be reduced by proper selection of aging condition with and by appropriate application of mutilayer plastic film.

The increasing use of plastics in food packaging materials has led to the issue of food-packaging mutual interactions from residues in the plastics. Plastic films are commonly printed by using solvent-based ink to decorate the packaged food for consumer attention. However, the residual solvents can not be completely removed and they can migrate into the contained food which lead to undesirable off-flavors. Partitioning (Kp) of printing ink solvents was studied in two types of plastic films with different chemical structure and polarity. At $25^{\circ}C$, Kp of toluene is higher than that of isopropanol in PP, but isopropanol showed higher Kp value than toluene in EVOH. This showed that polarity had a significant effect on the partitioning of printing ink solvents into the plastic films. Printing solvents had a higher affinity to the polymer with similar polarity than it did to the different one.

수증기 및 산소에 대한 차단성이 개선된 PVA-BA 코팅 조성액의 포장소재로의 적용가능성을 확인하기 위하여 콤마 코팅과 라미네이션 공정을 이용하여 PET/PVA-BA/OPP 다층필름을 제조하였다. PCT 전 후의 PET/PVA-BA/OPP 다층필름의 기체, 수증기 차단특성 및 인장강도를 확인하였고 이를 PA/PA/EVOH/PP 다층필름의 물성과 비교하였다. PVA내 BA 함량이 증가함에 따라 물성이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었지만, PCT 후 PET/PVA-BA/OPP 다층필름의 산소, 수증기 차단특성 및 인장강도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 PVA-BA층 내 증가한 가교밀도와 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 조미김을 이용한 저장특성분석에서, PET/PVA-BA/OPP다층필름은 PP/Al-metallized PP 다층필름에 비해 조미김의 지방산화를 야기시키는 요인을 효과적으로 억제하는 것으로 판단된다. 하지만, PP/Al-metallized PP 다층필름에 비해 PET/PVA-BA/OPP 다층필름의 상대적으로 높은 수분투과특성 때문에 Aw에 큰 장점을 확인하지 못하였다. 따라서, 물성 극대화 및 포장소재로 적용을 위해서는 PET/PVA-BA/OPP 다층필름 내 수분 차단성 향상에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다.
