Conventional solvent-based polyurethane (PU) is well established for wide applications, such as textile treatments, surface coating, adhesive and so on. Due to the demands of safety, economic, and environmental protection, the solvent-based PU is restricted and has been phasing out and aqueous-based PU is becoming the world market trend, which is an environmental friendly product. The chemical resistance, physical and mechanical properties of aqueous-based PU are still not competible with solvent-based PU. Because of aqueous-based PU is a linear thermoplastic polymer with lower average molecular weight. Their improvements are normally performed by a post-curing reaction or a polymer hybridization to enhance the polymer cross-linking density. Hybridization of PU with aqueous-based epoxy resin or acrylate emulsion and then cured by a curing agent for improving the performance properties and reducing the cost of aqueous-based PU.Furthermore, a special function is added to aqueous-based PU increasing the application value, for examples, flame retardation, polymeric dyes, hydrophilic and etc.

A series of thermoplastic polymers and their blends were melt-processed with high intensity ultrasonic wave in an intensive mixer. For the effective transfer of ultrasonic energy, an experimental apparatus was specially designed so that polymer melt can directly contact with ultrasonic horn. It was observed that significant variations in the rheological properties of polymers occur due to the unique action of ultrasonic wave without any aid of chemical additives. It was also found that the direct sonication on immiscible polymer blends in melt state reduces the domain sizes considerably and stabilizes the phase morphology of the blends. The degree of compatibilization was strongly affected by viscosity ratio of the components and the morphology was stable after annealing in properly compatibilized blends. It is suggested that ultrasound assisted melt mixing can lead to in-situ copolymer formation between the components and consequently provide an effective route to compatibilize immiscible polymer blends.

해수에서 사용되는 음향 소나 시스템의 호스 소재로 열가소성 폴리우레탄 탄성체가 사용되고 있다. 장기간 소나 운용을 위해서는 향상된 기계적 물성과 해수 및 오일에 의한 낮은 팽윤도를 갖는 소재가 요구된다. 해수 적용에 적합한 향상된 물성의 복합재료를 개발하기 위해 실리카 나노입자 표면에 폴리우레탄을 그래프트시킨 TPU-g-silica 나노입자를 제조하고 이를 폴리우레탄과 혼련하여 복합재료를 제조하였다. 실리카 나노입자를 포함한 폴리우레탄 복합재료는 실리카 입자의 표면 처리에 상관없이 폴리우레탄보다 향상된 인장강도와 낮은 팽윤도를 나타내었다. 폴리우레탄 복합재료들이 같은 함량의 실리카 입자를 포함한 경우, TPU-g-silica를 포함한 복합재료가 표면처리를 하지 않은 실리카 입자를 포함한 복합재료에 비해 보다 향상된 인장강도와 낮은 팽윤도를 나타내었다. 장시간 오일에 함침 후 인장강도를 측정한 결과 폴리우레탄에 비해 TPU-g-silica를 포함한 복합재료가 높은 인장강도를 유지하였다.

열가소성 폴리우레탄(thermoplastic polyurethane: TPU)의 제조에 사용한 폴리올 종류와 경질부 함량에 따른 TPU의 결정화 거동을 고찰하였다. TPU의 제조에 사용한 폴리올은 분자량이 2000인 poly(tetamethylene ether glycol) (PTMEG), poly(propylene glycol)(PPG) diol, polycaprolactone(PCL) diol, poly(butylene adipate)(PBA) diol을 사용하였으며, 경질부 함량은 $35\~44\;wt\%$였다. TPU의 경질부 냉각 결정화는 경질부 함량이 많을수록 고온에서 관찰되었다. TPU의 등온 결정화 속도는 경질부 함량이 많을수록 빠르고, TPU 제조에 사용한 폴리올 종류별로는 $PTMEG>PPG>PCI{\geqq}PBA$ 경향이 나타나, 연질부와 경질부의 상용성이 낮을수록 용융상태에서 경질부의 수소결합이 용이하고 결정화 속도가 빠르며, 냉각 결정화가 고온에서 나타나는 것으로 해석하였다.

Energetic thermoplastic elastomers (ETPEs) based on glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and carboxylated GA copolymers [GAP-ETPE and poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs] were synthesized using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL), 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD), and soft segment oligomers such as GAP and poly(GA-carboxylate). The synthesized GAP-ETPE and poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), universal testing machine (UTM), calorimetry and sensitivity towards friction and impact. DSC and TGA results showed that the introduction of carboxylate group in GAP helped to have better thermal properties. Glass transition temperatures of poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs decreased from -31 ℃ to -33 ℃ compared to that of GAP-ETPE (-29 ℃). The first thermal decomposition temperature in poly(GA_0.8-octanoate_0.2)-ETPE (242 ℃) increased in comparison to that of GAP-ETPE (227 ℃). Furthermore, from calorimetry data, poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs exhibited negative formation enthalpies (-6.94 and -7.21 kJ/g) and higher heats of combustion (46713 and 46587 kJ/mol) compared to that of GAP-ETPE (42,262 kJ/mol). Overall, poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs could be good candidates for a polymeric binder in solid propellant due to better energetic, mechanical and thermal properties in comparison to those of GAP-ETPE. Such properties are beneficial to application and processing of ETPE.

이피디엠/폴리프로필렌 열가소성 경화물을 오일의 배합 순서를 달리한 두 가지 방식(오일 블렌드 후 가교방식과 가교 후 오일 블렌드 방식)으로 제조하여 가교도(겔분율), 경도, 인장강도, 신율, 용융흐름지수 등을 조사, 오일의 블렌드 방식이 열가소성 경화물의 물성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 오일의 블렌드 방식에 따른 두 경화물의 가교도와 기계적 물성의 차는 크지 않았으나, 가공성에 있어서는 가교 후 오일 블렌드 방식으로 제조한 경화물의 용융흐름지수가 현저히 증가한 결과를 보였다.

본 연구는 화학적으로 개질된 열가소성 전분(chemically modified thermoplastic starch(CMPS))과 poly(lactic acid)(PLA)와 poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) 블렌드의 형태학, 열적 및 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. PLA/PBAT 블렌드에 CMPS를 이 블렌드의 중량기준으로 10, 20, 30 wt%를 첨가하여 이축압출기로 가공하였다. PLA/PBAT/CMPS 블렌드에서 PLA의 유리전이온도($T_g$)는 CMPS 함량이 증가하여도 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았지만, CMPS의 첨가에 의해 PLA상과 PBAT상 사이의 계면상태가 좋아지는 상용성 있는 형태학을 보여주었다.

Electrospinning is a cost-effective and versatile method for producing submicron fibers. Although this method is relatively simple, at the theoretical level the interactions between process parameters and their influence on the fiber morphology are not yet fully understood. In this paper, the aim was finding optimal electrospinning parameters in order to obtain the smallest fiber diameter by using Taguchi's methodology. The nanofibers produced by electrospinning a solution of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) in Dimethylformamide (DMF). Polymer concentration and process parameters were considered as the effective factors. Taguchi's L9 orthogonal design (4 parameters, 3 levels) was applied to the experiential design. Optimal electrospinning conditions were determined using the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio with Minitab 17 software. The morphology of the nanofibers was studied by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Thereafter, a tensile tester machine was used to assess mechanical properties of nanofibrous scaffolds. The analysis of DoE experiments showed that TPU concentration was the most significant parameter. An optimum combination to reach smallest diameters was yielded at 12 wt% polymer concentration, 16 kV of the supply voltage, 0.1 ml/h feed rate and 15 cm tip-to-distance. An empirical model was extracted and verified using confirmation test. The average diameter of nanofibers at the optimum conditions was in the range of 242.10 to 257.92 nm at a confidence level 95% which was in close agreement with the predicted value by the Taguchi technique. Also, the mechanical properties increased with decreasing fibers diameter. This study demonstrated Taguchi method was successfully applied to the optimization of electrospinning conditions for TPU nanofibers and the presented scaffold can mimic the structure of Extracellular Matrix (ECM).

고분자 복합재료의 기계적 특성 향상에 유리한 탄소섬유(Carbon fiber, CF)와 전도 특성 향상에 유리한 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(Multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWCNT)의 동시 혼입을 통해 기계적, 전기적 및 열적 특성을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우수한 양산 가공성과 준수한 기계적 특성을 나타내는 탄소장섬유 열가소성플라스틱(Carbon long fiber thermoplastic, CLFT)에 MWCNT를 혼입하여 전기적 및 열적 특성 제어하였다. 제조된 복합재료의 기계적 및 전기적 특성은 필러의 혼입 양에 가장 크게 영향을 받았다. 반면, 열적 특성은 MWCNT의 혼입으로 연결된 필러 네트워크가 형성됨으로써 더 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. MWCNT 혼입 CLFT의 필러 혼입량, 필러 조성 및 필러 네트워크 구조를 조절함으로써 목적에 적합한 기계적, 전기적 및 열적 특성 제어할 수 있었다.

Adhesion tests were carried out in order to investigate the effect of temperature on the adhesion behavior between a PMMA film and a fused silica lens in the micro scale. For the tests, a microtribometer system was specially designed and constructed. The pull-off forces on the PMMA film were measured under atmospheric condition as the temperature of the PMMA film was increased from 300 K to 443 K and decreased to 300 K. The contact area between the PMMA film and the lens was observed during the test. The adhesion behavior was changed with the change of the PMMA surface state as the temperature increased. In glassy state below 363 K, the pull-off force did not change with the increase of temperature. In rubbery state from 383 K to 413 K, the pull-off force increased greatly as the temperature increased. In addition, the area of contact was enlarged. In viscous state above 423 K, the fingering instability was observed in the area of contact when the PMMA film contacted with the lens. It was also found that the adhesion behavior can be varied with the thermal history of the PMMA film. The residual solvent in the PMMA film could emerge to the PMMA surface due to the heating and reduced the pull-off force.
