In this study, the thermal oxidation of raw natural rubber (NR) was investigated under controlled conditions by optical image and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis. The thermal oxidation was performed on a transparent thin film of raw NR coated on a KBr window in a dark chamber at 80℃ under low humidity conditions to completely exclude moisture and restrict light oxidation. Images of the thin film of raw NR were obtained before and after thermal oxidation. FT-IR absorption spectra were measured in the transmission mode at different thermal exposure times. The thermal oxidation of NR was examined by the changes in the absorption peaks at 3449, 1736, 1447, 1377, 1242, 1072, and 833 cm^-1, which corresponded to a hydroxyl group (-OH), a carbonyl group (-C=O) from an aldehyde and a ketone, a methylene group (-CH₂-), a methyl group (-CH₃), a carbon-oxygen single bond (-C-O) from an epoxide, a carbon-oxygen bond (-C-O) from an ether, an alcohol, a peroxide, or a cyclic peroxide, and a cis-methine group (cis-CCH₃=CH-), respectively. In the initial stage of thermal oxidation, two different types of free radicals were produced quickly and randomly by the homolytic cleavage of a double bond and allylic hydrogen abstraction. Aldehydes and ketones were formed from chain scissions of the double bonds and alcohols were produced from allylic hydrogen abstraction at the methylene or methyl groups. Two reactions seemed to proceed competitively with each other. At a later stage, oxidative crosslinks seemed to dominate through the combination of free radicals such as an allyl radical (CH=CHCH₂·), alkoxy radical (RO·), and peroxy radical (ROO·) and the reaction of a hydroperoxide (-ROOH) with a double bond. The image obtained after thermal oxidation showed hardening without cracks. Based on these observations, a plausible two-step mechanism was suggested for chain hardening caused by the thermal oxidation.

The tracking characteristics of silicone rubber degraded by accelerated outdoor exposure employing a weather-o-meter were investigated. The tracking test was performed according to ICE Publ.587 method but the concentration of conductive solution was two times higher than IEC standard in order to accelerate the tracking failure. The number of large effective scintillation and the current of high voltage circuit were measured simultaneously. It was shown that the number of effective scintillation had valuable information of the tracking degradation state of silicone rubber, while the average current between electrodes could not provide information enough for diagnosis. Based upon the experimental results, it could be said that the key factor accelerating tracking failure was not Joule heating by current but pyrolysis by burning of silicone rubber, and that reduction of contact angle was due to chain scission which resulted in the free radicals of low molecules.

The thermal degradation of polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) blend namely polymethyl methacrylate-polycarbonate(PMMA-PC) blend and polymethyl methacrylate-polystyrene(PMMA-PS) blend were carried out by isothermal method under air at several heating temperature from 220 to $270^{\circ}C$. Molecular weight changes during the thermal decomposition were monitored by means of the viscosity average molecular weight($\bar{M}v$). The viscosity average molecular weight was determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography(GPC). The dominant process in the degradation of PMMA-PC and PMMA-PS blend were main chain scission randomly due to weak links that may be distributed along the polymer backbone and the initial rate which the bonds are broken is not sustained. The infra-red spectra of degraded PMMA-PS blend show that the presence of aromatic ketone band at $1685cm^{-1}$. However, the infra-red spectra of degraded PMMA-PC blend show that the presence of hydroperoxide band at $3450cm^{-1}$. Thus indicating that the weak links are attacked by oxygen from the air and produce hydroperoxide or ketone. The activation energies of PMMA-PC blend and PMMA-PS blend were 18.2 and 17.9 Kcal/mol, respectively.

저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (LDPE)과 $25\%{\~}48\%$의 함염소 폴리에틸렌(CPE)에 대한 열분해상태를 20ml/min의 질소기류와 $4^{\circ}C{\~}20^{\circ}C$/min의 여러 가지 가열율에서 열중량분석으로 검토하였다. 반응의 열분해 활성화에너지값을 얻기 위하여 수학적인 방법으로는 미분법(Friedman)과 적분법(Ozawa)법이 사용되었다. 위의 방법으로 평가된 활성화에너지는 각각이 잘 일치하였고, 최고평균 활성화에너지는 71.72kcal/mol로 계산되었다. LDPE와 CPE의 열분해는 주쇄분해반응이고 실제 열분해곡선은 이론식과 잘 일치하는 것으로 사료된다.

In this work, the properties of FRP, which is applied recently in the composite insulating materials, by thermal treatment were investigated. The specimens were epoxy glass laminates fabricated by thermal press method and had the volume content of 46[%] cutted $45^{\circ}C$ in the fiber direction and 1.0[mm] thickness. The experimental results showed that the amount of weight loss, wettability, surface potential, and surface resistivity increased up to 200[$^{\circ}C$] as a function of temperature. Usually, most degradations caused the hydrophilic to decrease the contact angle. But, in this work on thermal-degradated FRP, we can confirm the introduction of hydrophobic properties by cross-linking and the ablation of polar small-molecules rather than chain scission and oxidation. Finally, weight loss and contact angle increased. These phenomena show the existence of hydrophobic surface. With the change to the hydrophobic surface and the electrical potential and resistivity on FRP surface increased. But, the dielectric properties and tensile stength are decreased.

본 실험에서 PET 위 무전해 구리 도금을 위한 전처리 방법 중 하나인 UV 조사를 통해 전처리를 한 후 PET 표면의 특성과 염기성 무전해 도금액이 개질된 표면에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구를 하였다. 일반적으로 PET 표면을 개질시키기 위해 UVC(254nm) 파장을 이용하여 PET bond break (Chain Scission)을 이루는 것으로 알려진다. 이때 공기 중의 산소와 UV 조사를 통해 생성된 PET 내의 free radical과 산화 반응을 통해 친수성이 높은 표면을 형성하게 된다. PET 표면의 친수성을 측정하기 위해 접촉각 측정기가 사용되었으며, 표면의 거칠기 및 형상을 관찰하기 위해 AFM과 FE-SEM를 각각 이용하였다. 또한 PET 표면의 구조 변화는 XPS를 통해 분석을 진행 하였다. UV 조사 후 표면의 거칠기 및 친수성은 높아졌지만, 무전해 도금은 이루어지지 않았다. 분석 결과, 이는 표면에 형성된 Low Molecular Weight Oxidation Compound(LMWOC)가 염기성 수용액 내에서 용해되어 모두 씻겨 나가 표면에 형성된 Sn/Pd을 모두 떨어트린 것으로 판단되며, 위와같은 이유로 UV 조사 후 습식 공정에 적용하기 위해 표면개질 된 PET를 염기성 수용액을 통해 전처리가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
