The impurities in isoprene were determined using GC/MS. There were good linearities (above $R^2=0.996$) in the range of the $1.0-50{\mu}g/mL$ and 0.5-5.0%, and the detection limits of the method were below $0.1{\mu}g/mL$ for each impurities. Reagent-grade isoprene contained isopropenyl acetylene and 2-butyne at $10-50{\mu}g/mL$ and the concentrations of cis-piperylene, trans-piperylene, cyclopentadiene and dicyclopentadiene were below $1{\mu}g/mL$. The analysis confirmed that the reagent grade isoprene could be obtained from the distillation of C5 fractions.

This study focused on the introduction of processing procedure for microcapsules loaded with the healing agent and then microcapsules with the healing agent were manufactured by experiments. The DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) was used for the healing agent and the shell of microcapsules was consisted of urea-formaldehyde resin. The magnitude and the site distribution of microcapsules were measured by a particle size analyzer using laser diffraction technique. Thermal analysis was conducted by using a DSC fur the healing agent, microcapsules without the healing agent, and microcapsules with the healing agent. Also thermal stability was investigated by using a TGA under continuous and isothermal heating conditions far the healing agent, microcapsules without the healing agent, microcapsules with the healing agent. According to the results. microcapsules with the healing agent were verified to be so thermally stable that the healing agent could not evaporate until the shell of microcapsules were burned.

In this study, a series of bi-axially oriented films based on homo polypropylene (PP) and hydrocarbon resin (HCR) modified PP were prepared to investigate their mechanical properties, optical properties, permeability to gases and water vapors and shrinkage ratio. Hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) resin and hydrogenated C9 resin were used as HCR in this study. Bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films made with PP/HCR blends showed better mechanical properties (higher Young's modulus), better optical properties (lower haze), lower permeability to gases and water vapors and increased shrinkage ratio than BOPP films made with homo-PP. Hydrogenated DCPD resin and hydrogenated C9 resin showed similar contribution to the improvement in mechanical properties and optical properties of BOPP films, but there are a differences in permeability to gases and water vapors and shrinkage ratio.

This work is about the development of jet-fuel resistant PVC sealant using a polyester plasticizer. PVC copolymer was compounded with adipic acid glycol(Songcizer P-3000) or DOP plasticizers. Fuel-immersed and non-immersed penetration, solubility, flow, and elongation by tensile adhesion of PVC compounds were measured. Penetration increase by fuel immersion and solubility of PVC compounds with adipic acid glycol polyester plasticizer were smaller than those of PVC compounds with DOP plasticizer. Elongation by tensile adhesion test of PVC compound containing 500 phr of Songcizer P-3000 decreased proportionally to the content of DCDP (dicyclopentadiene) base petroleum resin adhesion promoter. Calcium carbonate($CaCO_3$) filler inhibited the diffusion of fuel in all the PVC compounds and decreased the solubility of PVC compounds containing Songcizer P-3000.

This study dealt with the manufacturing process of self-healing microcapsules for damage repair in polymeric composites. The microcapsule was consisted with a DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) as the healing agent and a urea-formaldehyde resin as the wall section. The size distribution of microcapsules were measured by a particle size analyzer using a laser diffraction technique. Thermal stability of microcapsules was investigated by using a TGA under continuous and isothermal heating conditions. According to the results, these microcapsules were verified to be to thermally stable and have a great potential to be applicable for damage repair in polymeric composites.

Manufacturing process for autonomic microcapsules was introduced and autonomic microcapsules were manufactured by varying with various manufacturing process variables. Urea-formaldehyde resin was used for the wall of microcapsules and DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) was used for the self-healing agent. The characteristics of these microcapsules was evaluated through a particle size analyaer, an optical microscope, and a TGA. The various manufacturing process variables, such as pH and agitation speed of the emulsified solution, were considered to focus in this study. According to the results, the particle size distributions were affected on the agitation speed of the emulsified solution, and the thermal stability was influenced by pH of the emulsified solution.

고분자 복합재 구조물의 경우 일반적으로 여러 층의 단층(laminar)이 적층된 구조로 이루어져 있으며, 모재균열, 층간분리 및 섬유파단과 같은 손상이 발생되어 파단에 이르게 된다. 자가손상 복구기법은 복합소재의 열경화성 수지 내에 손상복구액을 포함하고 있는 마이크로캡슐과 촉매를 투입하여 외부의 도움 없이 손상을 치료할 수 있는 방법으로, 소재의 디자인에 있어서 새로운 페러다임을 제공할 수 있는 것으로 현재 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ENB(5-ethylidene-2-norbornene)와 DCPD(dicyclopentadiene)에 대하여 DMA(dynamic mechanical analysis)와 DSC(differential scanning calorimetry)를 이용하여 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 그들의 ROMP(ring-opening metathesis polymerization)반응과의 관계를 조사하였으며, ENB와 DCPD 블렌드에 대한 복구액으로서의 특성도 조사하였다. 본 연구실에서 합성된 두 가지 다른 종류의 ROMP 경화제에 대한 실제 자가손상복구에으로서의 적용상 특성도 연구하였다.

A series of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) based hot melt adhesives containing different types and compositions of tackifier resins were prepared to investigate their rheological behavior and T-peel adhesion strength on polyurethane (PU) elastomeric sheets. C5 aliphatic hydrocarbon resin (C5 resin), C9 aromatic hydrocarbon resin (C9 resin), hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene resin ($H_2$-DCPD resin), and dicyclopentadiene and acrylic monomer copolymer resin (DCPD-acrylic resin) were used as the tackifiers for the hot melt adhesives. To determine the polarity of the tackifiers, their oxygen contents were analyzed, and the DCPDacrylic resin was found to contain an oxygen content higher than the other tackifiers. Only the DCPD-acrylic resin showed complete miscibility with EVA and the homogeneous phase of the hot melt adhesive blends at all compositions. The T-peel adhesion strength between the hot melt adhesives and polyurethane elastomeric sheets was mainly affected by the polarity of the tackifier resins in the hot melt adhesives, rather than by the storage moduli, G', of the hot melt adhesives themselves.

Tricyclopentadiene (TCPD) as a next generation high density fuel was synthesized by Diels-Alder oligomerization reaction of DCPD. TCPD was prepared by ionic liquid (IL) catalysts with combination of cationic and anionic precursors. Two kinds of anionic precursors such as copper(I) chloride (CuCl) and iron(III) chloride ($FeCl_3$) and cationic precursors such as triethylamine hydrochloride (TEAC) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIC) were used. The preparation of TCPD using IL catalyst was superior to that using Diels-Alder reaction in terms of DCPD conversion and TCPD yield. In addition, TCPD yield was correlated with Lewis acidity by changing the ratio of anionic and cationic precursors. The TCPD yield was higher when using CuCl as anionic precursor than that of using $FeCl_3$. Control of Lewis acidity by changing the molar ratio of anionic and cationic precursors could further improve TCPD yield as well.
