일반적으로 면섬유는 햇빛에 의해서 변색되거나 약해지며 또 그 외에도 여러가지 물리적, 화학적인 변화를 일으키게 된다. 구체적인 화학반응의 메카니즘은 사용되는 광선의 스펙트럼, 대기조건(실내인 경우는 실내 환경조건) , 산소의 유무 그리고 염료 등 첨가물의 종류와 같은 여러 요소에 의해 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 환경조건 중에서 산소의 존재는 매우 중요하지만 open system에서 산소의 농도가 일정하다고 가정할 때 면섬유가 접하고 있는 환경조건 중에서 온도와 습도는 photodegradation의 속도를 결정짓는 중요한 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 박물관,:기념관, 도서관 등의 소장품이 자연광선이나 인공조명으로부터 손상되는 것을 막기 위해서는 먼저 이들의 photodegradation 현상에 대한 연구를 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 면시칩포를 자연광선과 가장 흡사한 스펙트럼을 가진 xenon arc lamp를 사용한 내후도 시험기내에서 온도와 습도를 조절하여 이에 따른 반응속도의 차이를 인열강도의 감소와 중합도 저하로 측정하였다. 1차 반응식은 실험결과를 설명하는데 유용하였으며 온 · 습도의 증가는 반응속도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타나 기존의 상반된 연구결과의 차이를 입증하였다. 또 온도와 습도는 상호관련이 있는 것으로 나타났으며 고온인 경우습도의 영향을 더 크게 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 반응의 활성에너지는 $30\~75\%$ RH에서는 12 kcal/mole 정도이며 수분의 함량이 낮을수록 활성화에너지는 커지는 것으로 나타나 수분은 섬유소 분자구조내에서 가소제 (plasticizer)의 역할을 하는 것으로 판명되었다.

Effect of chlorinated polyethylene(cPE) on the morphology and mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene(iPP) and nitrile rubber(NBR) blends was investigated. It was found that incorporation of a small amounts of cPE leads to a decrease in domain size of the dispersed phase, and uniform distribution of the dispersed phase in the blends. The PP/NBR/cPE ternary blends showed an improved tensile and tear strength as well as elongation-at-break as compared to binary PP/NBR blends. From the results on morphology and mechanical properties, optimum amount of the cPE is 5-10 wt% with repect to NBR in the blend.

Geocomposites of needle punched and spunbonded nonwovens having the reinforcement and drainage functions were manufactured by use of thermal bonding method. The physical properties (e.g. tensile, tear and bursting strength, permittivity) of these multi-layered nonwovens were dependent on the processing parameters of temperatures, pressures, bonding periods etc. - in manufacturing by use of thermal bonding method. Therefore, it is very meaningful to optimize the processing parameters and physical properties of the geocomposites by thermal bonding method. In this study, an algorithm has been developed to optimize the process of the geocomposites using an artificial neural network (ANN). Geocomposites were employed to examine the effects of manufacturing methods on the analysis results and the neural network simulations have been applied to predict the changes of the nonwovens performances by varying the processing parameters.

In this study, the wettability and mechanical properties of silicone rubber impression material were studied by using precipitated silica and fumed silica with different particle size and polarity (hydrophilic/hydrophobic). Curing time of impression material depended on the particle size of fumed silica. The curing time delayed about 9 minutes by using A300, which was the fumed silica with the smallest particle size among the silica used in this study. Wettability of rubber impression material improved with the introduction oi hydrophobic fumed silica(R972). Also, the optimum flow and mechanical properties could be obtained by using blended silica with the 90: 10 ratio of precipitated and fumed silica.

Nonwovens have been widely used in various regions from the households to the industrial, agricultural and medical goods. Synthetic fibers have been used for source of nonwovens commonly because of their useful and economic properties. They are not only main factor causing environmental problems but also spend huge cost to renew the environmental disruption by them. Nonwovens must have both cost-competitiveness and environment-friendly property to be the desirable sources in 21th centuries. For meet these needs, it is suitable for the times that economical and environmentally-safe kenaf fibers would be used as raw materials of nonwovens. Kenaf and polyester fibers were blended in 4 types of ratio : 0/100, 20/80, 40/60, 60/40 were needle-punched. The nonwovens properties such as color values, surface appearance, strength, elongations, stiffness, moisture regain, water and oil absorbency, and electrification were tested. As the results, tensile and tear strengths, water and oil absorbency were maximum at 20/80 kenaf/polyester blend nonwoven, because of effecting by nonwoven structure and fiber properties. The moisture regain were increased according to kenaf were blended and the eletrification reduced in proportion to the kenaf fibers by chemical property of fiber composed nonwovens.

A silicone softner (SS-5), a permanent press (PP) finish, was prepared by blending silicone oil KF-96 (as a lubricating component) and beef tallow hardened oil (as a softening component) which was synthesized from fatty polyamide salts. The prepared SS-5 and the PP finishing resin were applied to PP finishing cotton cloth and P/C gingham sample by one-bath method. The properties such as crease recovery, tear strength, and bending resistance were tested. The samples treated with SS-5 and PP finishing resin showed improved properties when comparing with the untreated ones, with the ones treated only with PP finishing resin, with ones treated with commercial PP finishing softners and PP finishing resin. The grades of fabric samples treated with 3% SS-5 were fifth grade in the bending resistance test.

To make filler loaded conducting rubber which has excellent electronical and physical properties, CR and NBR were mixed with barium ferrite(BaO.6Fe2O3). From the result of this study, vulcanization characteristics shows that curve is upgraded as the filler concentration increases and CR has higher torque than NBR. In physical properties, elongation being higher, modulus comes to decrease. Tear strength gradually decrease after showing the maximum point when is in the 100phr in CR. Resilience is not good to cause the increase in filler concentration. In electrical properties, conductivity becomes low when filler concentration increase. The increase of voltage makes a conductivity grown, but the rate change is weak. The influence of temperature hardly changes on increasing temperature. The morphology and the dispersion of a conductivity filler in vulcanizates through SEM were good. The more filler concentration increases, the shorter the particle interval is.

This study aimed to investigate the anatomical structure and fiber quality of four lesser-used wood species namely Benuang (O. sumatrana), Duabanga (D. moluccana), Pisang Merah (H. hellwigii), and Terap (A. odoratissimus). This study evaluated its suitability for raw material in pulp and paper manufacturing. The anatomical structure was observed macro- and microscopically. Macroscopic structures were observed directly to the wood samples, while microscopic characteristics were observed through microtome specimens. Fiber dimension was measured through macerated specimens and fiber quality was analyzed following the Rachman and Siagian's method. Results showed that these four timber species have similarity in the indistinct growth ring, diffuse porous in a radial pattern, rounded solitary vessel outline, 1 to 3 cells of ray width, deposits within the rays, fiber length, and cell wall thickness. Differences were found on vessel diameter, vessel grouping, vessel frequency, tyloses existence, type of axial parenchyma, and ray height. Based on fiber length and its derived values, the wood fibers of all species studied are suitable for pulp and paper manufacturing. They belong to the II quality class. The produced pulp and paper would have good quality, especially in tensile, folding, and tear strength. To promote their utilization, silviculture aspect of these four species has to be well understood.

In this study, the effect on flame retardancy and various physical properties when TiO₂ was added with a citric acid/phosphate complex acid catalyst together with Pyrovatex CP new (N-methylol dimethylphosphonopropionamide), a phosphorus-based flame retardant, was studied on cotton fibers. SEM-EDS analysis was performed to confirm the surface characteristics and surface element analysis of the flame-retardant treated cotton fibers, and a vertical carbonization test was performed to confirm the char formation capability and flame retardancy according to the phosphoric acid ratio. By comparing the LOI index before and after washing 10 times, the washing durability of the flame retardant solution containing the phosphoric acid catalyst and TiO₂ was tested by LOI index after ten washing cycles. In addition, the influence of the flame-retardant processing on the physical properties were compared including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), tear strength and whiteness.
