The effects of binder content and silica sand content on the freezing and thawing resistance of lightweight polymer concrete are examined. As a result, the mass loss and pulse velocity of lightweight polymer concrete decrease with increasing binder content and silica sand content. The relative dynamic modulus and durability factor of lightweight polymer concrete reaches minimum at a silica sand content of 50% and a binder content of 28%, and is inclined to increase with increasing binder content and silica sand content.

Sodium silicate binder is eco-friendly inorganic binder to substitute organic binder in foundry industry, but it has low stability at moisture. In this study, the bending strength of sand cores with sodium silicate binder at various curing condition was measured for confirm the effect of moisture content in cured sodium silicate binder on the strength and stability. The sodium silicate binder generates stable binder bridge with silicate structure of Q³ and Q² at 130℃. The maximum bending strength of sand cores was not affected by curing conditions, because the silicate structure of binder bridges was similar. However, the lower moisture content of cured sodium silicate binder, stability of strength was enhanced. Therefore, it was confirmed that the moisture content of cured sodium silicate binder is important factor at stability of sodium silicate binder.

This paper deals with the effects of silica fume content and polymer-binder ratio on the properties of ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortar using silica fume and ethylene-vinyl acetate redispersible polymer powder instead of styrene-butadiene rubber latex to shorten the hardening time. The ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortar was prepared with various silica fume contents and polymer-binder ratios, and tested flexural strength, compressive strength, water absorption, carbonation depth and chloride ion penetration depth. As results, the flexural, compressive and adhesion strengths of the ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortar tended to increase as increasing polymer-binder ratio, and reached the maximums at 4 % of silica fume content. The water absorption, carbonation and chloride ion penetration resistance were improved according to silica fume content and polymer-binder ratio.

According to a previous study, talc as a coating pigment can improve the viscosity and the water retention of coating color, the compressibility of coating layer, and hence gravure printability. Talc is also well known for its larger particle size than other pigments, which implies that less binder may be need due to its smaller specific surface area. This study investigated the possibility of reducing binder content for matte grade paper. Coating color was prepared with the Cotalc-2000, which showed the best properties in the previous study. The binder content was varied and the effect of binder content on the physical properties of coated paper and the gravure printability was investigated. It was shown that binder content could be reduced when talc was used as a coating pigment. The reduction in binder content did not influence gloss, roughness and the print density of coated paper but showed improvement in paper porosity, compressibility and missing dot.

In aqueous tape casting of alumina slurry systems, the relationships between the suspension compositions and the defects of the dried tapes were discussed. The suspensions compositions were controlled with the ratios of the solids, water and organics binder contents. The effects of the thickness of dried tape and kinds of binder system were also examined. In the defect free region, the apparent viscosity showed nearly same value due to the count balancing effect of solid and organic binder content on the apparent viscosity. When water content was constant, increasing solid led to decrease of organic binder content. The defect free region was narrowed with increasing of casting thickness. When linear type acrylic emulsion binders system (D1000 and D 1035) were used, defect free zone formed the belt type in the triangle of solid, water and organic binder content according to the line of constant water contents. However the defect free region was not found in the cross-link type emulsion binder system (D 1050).

PURPOSES: In this study, various laboratory tests were performed to investigate the suitability of wasted vinyl as a modifier of asphalt binder. METHODS: Based on the ASTM specification, variations in material properties of asphalt binder such as penetration, flash point, softening point, ductility, penetration index (PI), and performance grade (PG) with vinyl content were tested and analyzed. RESULTS: Lavoratory tests revealed that penetration and ductility of the asphalt binder increased with the vinyl content. The flash point, softening point, and PI decreased, and PG changed from 64-22 to 70-22 with increase of the vinyl content. CONCLUSIONS: Wasted vinyl modified the material properties of the asphalt binder. However, the asphalt binder with vinyl content over 6.0% was unsuitable as a pavement material.

The effects of polymer-binder ratio, antifoamer content and shrinkage-reducing agent content on the air content and strengths of high-fluidity polymer-modified pastes are examined. As a result, the air content of the polymer-modified pastes tends to decrease with increasing polymer-binder ratio and antifoamer content. Irrespective of the antifoamer content, the flexural and tensile strengths of the high-fluidity polymer-modified pastes tends to increase with increasing polymer-binder ratio, and tend to decrease with increasing shrinkage-reducing agent content. However, the compressive strength of the polymer-modified pastes decreases with increasing polymer-binder ratio and shrinkage-reducing agent content.

The effects of binder content and silica sand content on the durability characteristics of lightweight polymer concretes are examined. As a result, the flame lingering times using unsaturated polyester resin and non-combustible polyester resin were 60∼120 and 0∼4 seconds respectively, and the combustion lengths were 9∼11 mm and 0∼3 mm, respectively. Thus it is believed that the lightweight polymer concrete was incombustible and the light weight polymer concrete in which non-combustible material was added was perfectly non-combustible. The percent of original mass of lightweight polymer concrete, according to the freezing-thawing experiment, was below 0.3 %, which was much less than that of cement concrete. The pluse velocity, for the case of the binder content 28 %, showed the minimum decreasing rate for the lightweight polymer concrete with silica sand content of 50 %. The higher the binder content, the greater the durability. That is much higher than other material and believed that the freezing-thawing was suppressed by a low absorption.

We have examined the impedance characteristics and the battery characteristics of PLI bicell. As results, the impedance of PLI bicell with 62 wt% cathode active material were lower than the other cathode active material content. And the specific resistances of PLI bicell increased with N/P ratio until 1.85. And the impedance of PLI bicell decreased with increased adding amounts of binder. But the rate capability of PLI bicell were not increased with increased adding amounts of binder. PLI bicell with 9.9 wt% binder content were the best rate capability. but the cycleability were not the same results as the rate capability. PLI bicells with cathode with more than 11 wt% binder, their cycleability were almost same, nevertheless they were better cycleability than 9.9 wt% binderl content.

The effects of binder and alumina content on the setting time, drying shrinkage, strength, freezing and thawing resistance and water absorption of polymer-modified pastes with alumina powder were examined. As a result the setting time of the polymer-modified pastes with alumina powder tended to delay with increasing binder content. Irrespective of the type of polymer, the drying shrinkage of the polymer-modified pastes with alumina powder tended to decrease with increasing binder content and alumina powder content. Regardless of the type of polymer, the tensile and adhesion strengths of the polymer-modified pastes with alumina powder tended to increase with increasing binder content and alumina powder content. Irrespective of the type of polymer, the durability factors of the polymer-modified pastes with alumina powder tended to increase with increasing alumina content. Irrespective of the type of polymer, the water absorptions of the polymer-modified pastes with alumina powder tended to decrease with increasing binder content and alumina content.
