  • The phase morphology is an important factor in the rheology of immiscible polymer blends. Through its size and shape, the interface between the two phases determines how the components and the interface itself will contribute to the global stresses. Rheological measurements have been used successfully in the past to probe the morphological changes in model blends, particularly for dilute systems. For more concentrated blends only a limited amount of systematic rheological data is available. Here, viscosities and first normal stress differences are presented for a system with nearly Newtonian components, the whole concentration range is covered. The constituent polymers are PDMS and PIB, their viscosity ratio can be changed by varying the temperature. The data reported here have been obtained at 287 K where the viscosities of the two components are identical. By means of relaxation experiments the measured stresses are decomposed into component and interfacial contributions. The concentration dependence is quite different for the two types of contribution. Except for the component contributions to the shear stresses there is no clear indication of the phase inversion. Plotting either the interfacial shear or normal stresses as a function of composition produces in some cases two maxima. The relaxation times of these stresses display a similar concentration dependence. Although the components have the same viscosity, the stress-component curves are not symmetrical with respect to the 50/50 blend. A slight elasticity of one of the components seems to be the cause of this effect. The data for the more concentrated blends at higher shear rates are associated with a fibrillar morphology.

  • 전분과 글리세롤을 이축 압출기를 사용하여 열간소성 전분(TPS)으로 제조한 후, TPS와 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)을 조성을 달리하여 블렌딩하였다. 열적 특성, 형태학, 기계적 물성을 측정하였고, 조절된 호기성 퇴비화 방법(ISO14855)에 의하여 생분해도를 측정하였다. TPS 함량이 증가할수록 인장 강도, 신장율, 그리고 탄성율이 감소하였다. 특히 신장율은 TPS를 소량 첨가하여도 급격히 감소하였다. HDPE/TPS 블렌드의 $T_m$은 변화가 없었고, 이로써 두 고분자간 상용성이 없음을 확인하였다. 블렌드의 파단면 확인은 전자 주사 현미경으로 하였고, 두 물질의 계면에서 상분리가 일어남을 확인하였다. 45일간의 생분해 실험에서 TPS의 함량이 증가할수록 생분해도가 증가하였다.

  • 본 연구는 석유유래 생분해성 고분자인 poly(butylene adipate-co-succinate-co-terephthalate)(PBAST)의 생분해도와 친환경성을 높이기 위하여 변형 열가소성 전분(CMPS, chemically modified thermoplastic starch)을 첨가하였다. CMPS는 천연고분자인 전분을 가소제, maleic anhydride(MA) 및 반응개시제로 반응시켜 제조한 일종의 식물유래 생분해성 수지이다. PBAST/CMPS 블렌드의 파단면 사진으로부터 PBAST와 CMPS 상이 분리된 비혼화성 (immiscible blend) 블렌드이지만 상 사이의 계면 형상이 좋은 상용성 블렌드임을 알 수 있었다. 인장강도와 연신율은 CMPS 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였지만 탄성률은 증가하였다. 블렌드의 생분해도는 순수 PBAST에 비해 매우 높았고 CMPS의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.

  • The local structural and thermodynamical properties of blends A-B/H of a diblock copolymer A-B and a homopolymer H are studied using the polymer reference interaction site model (RISM) integral equation theory with the mean-spherical approximation closure. The random phase approximation (RPA)-like static scattering function is derived and the interaction parameter is obtained to investigate the phase transition behaviors in A-B/H blends effectively. The dependences of the microscopic interaction parameter and the macrophase-microphase separation on temperature, molecular weight, block composition and segment size ratio of the diblock copolymer, density, and concentration of the added homopolymer, are investigated numerically within the framework of Gaussian chain statistics. The numerical calculations of site-site interchain pair correlation functions are performed to see the local structures for the model blends. The calculated phase diagrams for A-B/H blends from the polymer RISM theory are compared with results by the RPA model and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our extended formal version shows the different feature from RPA in the microscopic phase separation behavior, but shows the consistency with TEM qualitatively. Scaling relationships of scattering peak, interaction parameter, and temperature at the microphase separation are obtained for the molecular weight of diblock copolymer. They are compared with the recent data by small-angle neutron scattering measurements.

  • 전분/PVA 블렌드의 기계적 물성에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자들을 고려하여 최적화 조건을 조사하였다. 실험은 다구찌 방법에 기반을 둔 실험크기 27, 3수준, 13열의 $L_{27}(3^{13})$ 직교배 열표가 사용되었다. UTM과 인열 강도계를 통하여 인장강도, 파단신율, 초기탄성률, 인열강도를 측정하여 전분/PVA 블렌드의 제조 최적 조건을 결정하였다. 각 변수들의 분석을 바탕으로 각인자의 상호작용 효과가 결정되었다. $L_{27}(3^{13})$의 분석결과, 글리세롤과 요소가 4가지 기계적 물성의 증진에 가장 중요한 인자로 파악되었다.

  • We investigated thermal, rheological, morphological and mechanical properties of a binary blend of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene succinate adipate) (PBSA). The blends were extruded and their molded properties were examined. DSC thermograms of blends indicated that the thermal properties of PLA did not change noticeably with the amount of PBSA, but thermogravimetric analysis showed that thermal stability of the blends was lower than that of pure PLA and PBSA. Immiscibility was checked with thermal data. The rheological properties of the blends changed remarkably with composition. The tensile strength and modulus of blends decreased with PBSA content. Interestingly, however, the impact strength of PLA/PBSA (80/20) blend was seriously increased higher than the rule of mixture. Morphology of the blends showed a typical sea and island structure of immiscible blend. The effect of the blend composition on the biodegradation was also investigated. In the early stage of the degradation test, the highest rate was observed for the blend containing $80wt\%$ PBSA.

  • Plastic/rubber blends are ultrasonically treated during continuous extrusion in order to investigate the in-situ compatibilization of the blends without any chemicals. The mechanical properties of each blend were significantly improved by ultrasonic treatment. It is believed that ultrasonic treatment of the blends enhances intermolecular interaction, improves adhesion at the interface and creates copolymers during very short time. The created copolymers are believed to be a major reason for enhancing mechanical properties of the blends by in-situ compatibilization during extrusion. This process can be applied fur preparing plastic/rubber blends to make thermoplastic elastomers or plastic/plastic and rubber/rubber blends, and for making novel copolymers from practically any pairs of existing polymers to achieve desirable chemical and physical properties.

  • 폴리락트산/폴리카프로락톤 (PLA/PCL) 블렌드의 조성비에 따른 상용성 및 결정화 거동을 살펴보았다. 특히 triphenyl phosphite (TPP)가 반응 상용화제로써 이들 블렌드의 상용성과 결정화 거동에 미치는 영향을 중점적으로 고찰하였다. PLA/PCL 블렌드의 열적 특성을 살펴보아 이들 블렌드가 비상용성 블렌드임을 확인하였으며 블렌드의 조성비에 따라 상용성 정도가 달라졌다. 블렌드에 TPP를 첨가하는 경우 TPP가 반응 상용화제로 작용하여 블렌드의 상용성을 증가시키며 상용화제 함량 증가에 따라 상용성이 우수해졌다. PLA에 PCL을 첨가하는 경우, 블렌드 조성비에 따른 비상용 특성에 의한 계면 형성이 구정 형성에 필요한 기핵 발현 정도를 변화시켜 결정화 속도가 달라졌다. TPP는 이들 블렌드의 상용성의 개선과 동시에 구정 성장을 촉진하여 PLA의 결정화 속도를 증가시킴을 확인하였다.

  • EPDM(ethylene propylene diene monomer)1실리콘 고무 블렌드를 제조하고, 상용화제와 열노화 시간에 따른 물성 변화를 살펴보았다. EPDM과 실리콘 고무(SR)의 조성비는 90/10에서 $10/90\;wt\%$ 사이로 조절하였으며, Brabender사의 Plasticoder를 사용하여 용융 혼합하고, 열프레스로 가교하였다. 가교된 EPDM/SR 블렌드의 모폴로지를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 또한, 블렌드를 $100^{\circ}C$에서 24, 48, 96시간 동안 열노화시켜 경도, 인장 강도, 신장률 및 접촉각을 측정하였다. 모폴로지를 조사한 결과 상용화제를 첨가한 블렌드의 분산상의 크기가 감소하였다. 열노화 시간이 증가함에 따라, 블렌드의 경도와 인장 강도는 감소하였으며, 신장률과 접촉각은 증가하였다.

  • Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) shows a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at $32^{\circ}C$. Consequently, its thermosensitivity has extensively been investigated in coating materials as well as biomedical and agricultural industry. However, mechanical properties of the swollen gels are generally poor and reinforcement is often desired. A series of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) and emulsion blends hydrogels of polyurethane (PU) and PNIPAAm were prepared in order to overcome the shortcomings of a normal PNIPAAm hydrogels. Regarding the mechanical reinforcement of swollen gel, a significant increase in compression and tensile properties has been obtained by incorporating PU.
