볏짚으로부터 분리한 Bacillus sp. K-1과 그 변이주 KM-21과 KM-83이 생산하는 biopolymer들의 물성학적 성질을 비교 조사하였다. 은도에 따른 biopolymer의 겉보기 점도는 온도가 높아짐에 따라 감소하였으며, $20^{\circ}C$일 때에 비해 $80^{\circ}C$일 때 KM-21 균주가 생산하는 biopolymer는 1.7배, K-1균주의 biopolymer는 2.7배, KM-83 균주의 biopolymer는 1.9배 정도로 낮은 점성을 보였다. Biopolymer 용액의 점성은 농도가 증가함에 따라 크게 증가하여 6%의 농도에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 2%, 4%, 6% 모두 pseudoplastic특성을 나타내어 농도에 대한 의존성이 매우 높았다. 6%의 농도일 때 2%의 농도와 비교해서 전단 속도가 $93\;sec^{-1}$ 일 때 KM-21은 26배, K-1은 56배, KM-83은 28배로 모균주의 biopolymer인 K-1이 가장 높은 점성을 보었다. pH에 따른 점도 변화는 pH7.0에서 최고를 보였으며, 알칼리성 조건일 때에 비해 산성조건에서 상대적으로 낮은 값의 점성을 보였다.

Six aromatic polyesters with ether-linkages were prepared from 4,4'-oxybis(benzoic acid) and naphthalenediol (ND) isomers which were 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-, 2,3-, 2,6- and 2,7-derivatives. The solution viscosity numbers ranged from 0.23 to 0.65 dL/g. The glass transition temperatures ranged from 142 to 179$\^{C}$. The initial decomposition temperatures were all above 400$\^{C}$, and the residue weights at 600$\^{C}$ were in the range of 50-64%. Only the polyesters derived from 1,5- and 2,6-NDs, which have a linear linking mode, were found to be semicrystalline and could form thermotropically nematic phase. Multiple melting phenomena and annealing of the polyester derived from 1,5-ND and related polymers are described. The experimental results show that the polyester derived from 1,4-ND of linear shape was amorphous and non-liquid crystalline. Particularly, the polyester derived from 2,3-ND could form a smectic mesophase as banana-shaped molecules, and this is ascribed to the C/sub_2v/ symmetry where highly kinked molecules are packed in the same direction.

We demonstrated an effective way of preparing melt spinnable mesophase pitches via catalytic hydrogenation of petroleum residue (fluidized catalytic cracking-decant oil) and their subsequent thermal soaking. The mesophase pitches thus obtained were analyzed in terms of their viscosity, elemental composition, solubility, molecular weight, softening point and optical texture. We found that zeolite-induced catalytic hydrogenation under high hydrogen pressure contributed to a large variation in the properties of the pitches. As the hydrogen pressure increased, the C/H ratio decreased, and the solubility in n-hexane increased. The mesophase pitch with entirely anisotropic domains of flow texture exhibited good meltspinnability. The mesophase carbon fibers obtained from the catalytically hydrogenated petroleum residue showed moderate mechanical properties.

재활용 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)에 Perbutyl peroxide(PBP)를 첨가하여 반응 용융가공에 의한 가교 특성 및 물성 변화를 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 재활용 HDPE에 포함되어 있는 다양한 이물질의 성분을 EDS를 이용하여 분석하였으며 수지의 재활용 시 포함된 유, 무기물이 가교 반응에 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 또한 물성 측정을 통해 재활용 가교 HDPE가 신재 HDPE와 비교하여 낮은 밀도, 용융엔탈피 그리고 높은 용융점도를 가짐으로 보아 상대적으로 신재 가교 HDPE에 비하여 가교가 더 잘 일어남을 알 수 있으며 이러한 재활용 HDPE의 가교 특성은 가교에 의한 재환용 HDPE의 기계적 물성 증가에 기여함을 확인하였다.

PURPOSES : This study deals with the working life of polymer concrete, which is typically used as a repair or overlay material for portland cement concrete pavements. METHODS : In the scope of this study, laboratory testing was conducted on fresh MMA modified UP polymer concrete, which uses an MMA monomer for viscosity adjustment and strength improvement of UP resin. The experimental variables were temperature (-20 to $+20^{\circ}C$) and binder components (MMA, MEKPO, and DMA). RESULTS : The result showed that the optimum binder ratios for polymer concrete production were 12, 11, and 10 wt.% when the MMA contents were 20, 30, and 40 wt.%, respectively. The working life of polymer concrete depending on temperature and binder components could be expressed by a logarithmic functional formula. The coefficient of variation for each binder component was the highest for DMA content while the lowest for MEKPO content. Also, the contents of each binder component for ensuring the working life of 60 minutes were proposed. CONCLUSIONS : Ultimately, the present study derived a linear regression equation estimating 60 minutes working life based on the setting times of each binder component.

전분을 매트릭스 고분자로 하여 아크릴 단량체를 유화중합 방법으로 그래프트 중합하였다. 에멀젼의 점도와 입자경은 전분 함량이 증가함에 따라 전분의 히드록시기가 물과 상호작용하고 고분자 입자가 분산매인 물 쪽으로 팽윤함으로 인해 증가하였다. 에멀젼의 화학적 안정성은 전분 함량이 증가할수록 양호하였으나 내수성과 내알칼리성은 전분 함량이 증가할수록 친수성이 증가하면서 감소하였다. 탄산칼슘을 포함한 전분-아크릴 에멀젼 배합물의 불투명도는 전분의 함광이 증가함에 따라 전분 고유의 색깔에 의해 감소하였고 도막의 상태는 전분의 함량이 증가함에 따라 도막의 무정형 상태가 증가하면서 균열이 없는 매끈한 외관을 나타내었다.

PET nanocomposites filled with fumed silicas were prepared via direct melt compounding method at various mixing conditions such as filler type and filler content. Some fumed silicas were pre-treated to improve the wettability and dispersibility, and principal characterizations were performed to investigate the effects of nano fumed silicas on polymer matrix. Hydrophobic fumed silica (M-FS), which has the similar contact angles of water with neat PET, acted as the best reinforcement for the thermal stability and mechanical properties of PET nanocomposite, and FE-SEM images also showed that M-FS was uniformly dispersed into matrix and had good wettability. But, some filler (O-FS) had low dispersibility and caused the deterioration of mechanical properties. Besides, the results of DSC revealed the nucleation effect of all fillers in polymer matrix, and PET nanocomposite filled with hydroptilic fumed silica (FS) showed markedly the characteristic dynamic rheological properties such as shear thinning behavior at very low frequencies and the decrease of viscosity.

Various studies have been conducted to improve silica dispersion of silica filled tire tread compounds; among them, silica wet masterbatch (WMB) technology is known to be suitable for manufacturing silica filled compounds that have high silica content and high dispersibility. Till now, the WMB study is focused on the natural rubber (NR) or emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber (ESBR) that does not have a silica-affinity functional group, and a study of NR or ESBR having a silica-affinity functional group is still not well known. Unlike the dry masterbatch technology, the WMB technology can solve the problems associated with the high Mooney viscosity when applied to silica-friendly rubber. However, a coagulant suitable for each functional group has not yet been determined. Therefore, in this study, different coagulant applied silica WMB was prepared by applying calcium chloride, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid by using a carboxyl group functionalized reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer ESBR. The evaluation of the WMB compounds revealed that the calcium chloride added WMB compound showed excellent silica dispersion, abrasion resistance, and rolling resistance.

Lithium gel electrolytes based on a mixed polymer matrix consisting of poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and cyanoresin type M (CRM) were prepared using an in situ blending process. The CRM used in this study was a copolymer of cyanoethyl pullulan and cyanoethyl poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with a mole ratio of 1:1. The mixed plasticizer was ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) with a volume ratio of 1:1. In this study, the presence of PVDF in the electrolytes helps to form a dimensionally stable film over a broad composition range, and decreases the viscosity. In addition, it provides better rheological properties that are suitable for the extrusion of thin films. However, the presence of HFP has a positive effect on generating an amorphous domain in a crystalline PVDF structure. The ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes was investigated in the range 298-333 K. The introduction of CRM into the PVDF-HFP/$LiPF_6$, complex produced a PVDF-HFP/CRM/$LiPF_6$ complex with a higher ionic conductivity and improved thermal stability and dynamic mechanical properties than a simple PVDF-HFP/$LiPF_6$, complex.

Low viscosity aromatic hyperbranched polyester epoxy resin (HTBE) was synthesized by the reaction between epichlorohydrin (ECH) and carboxyl-end hyperbranched polyester (HTB) which was prepared from inexpensive materials $A_2$ (1,4-butanediol glycol, BEG) and $B_3$ (trimellitic anhydride, TMA) by pseudo one-step method. The molar mass of the HTB was calculated from its acid value by "Recursive Probability Approach". The degree of branching (DB) of the HTB was characterized by model compounds and $^1H$ NMR-minus spectrum technology, and the DB of the HTB was about $0.47{\sim}0.63$. The viscosity and epoxy equivalent weight of the HTBE were $3,600{\sim}5,000\;cp$ and lower than 540 g/mol respectively. The reaction mechanism and structure of the $AB_2$ monomer, HTB and HTBE were investigated by MS, $^1H$ NMR and FTIR spectra technology. The molecular size of HTBE is under 8.65 nm and its shape is ellipsoid-like as determined by molecular simulation.
