PET nanocomposites filled with fumed silicas were prepared via direct melt compounding method at various mixing conditions such as filler type and filler content. Some fumed silicas were pre-treated to improve the wettability and dispersibility, and principal characterizations were performed to investigate the effects of nano fumed silicas on polymer matrix. Hydrophobic fumed silica (M-FS), which has the similar contact angles of water with neat PET, acted as the best reinforcement for the thermal stability and mechanical properties of PET nanocomposite, and FE-SEM images also showed that M-FS was uniformly dispersed into matrix and had good wettability. But, some filler (O-FS) had low dispersibility and caused the deterioration of mechanical properties. Besides, the results of DSC revealed the nucleation effect of all fillers in polymer matrix, and PET nanocomposite filled with hydroptilic fumed silica (FS) showed markedly the characteristic dynamic rheological properties such as shear thinning behavior at very low frequencies and the decrease of viscosity.

ABS/MWNT nanocomposites were prepared by using MWNT wrapped with SAN through melt compounding. Effect of wrapping of MWNT by SAN on the morphology, mechanical and electrical properties of ABS/MWNT were analyzed. It was found that SAN could wrap MWNT effectively indicated by the increased thickness after wrapping, which is presumably due to helical structure of polyacrylonitrile component in a block copolymer of SAN. MWNT was observed to be dispersed more evenly in ABS matrix by SAN wrapping, which resulted in improved tensile properties of the composites. On the other hand, there was little effect on the impact strength and electrical properties of ABS having inherently high impact strength.

We added surface-modified silica nanoparticles to poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) to investigate their effect on the mechanical properties on the PEN nanocomposite material. The torque and total torque values of the composites decreased in the silica nanoparticle composites. The tensile modulus of the composites reinforced with unmodified silica nanoparticles increased upon increasing the silica content, while the tensile strength and elongation decreased accordingly. In contrast, stearic acid-modified, silica nanoparticle reinforced PEN composites exhibited an increase in elongation and a decrease in tensile modulus upon addition of the silica nanoparticles because the stearic acid that had adsorbed onto the surface of the silica nanoparticle in multilayers could act as a plasticizer during melt compounding. Stearic acid modification had a small effect on the crystallization behavior of the composites. We calculated theoretical values of the tensile modulus using the Einstein, Kerner, and Nielsen equations and compared these values with the experimental data obtained from the composites. The parameters calculated using the Nielsen equation and the Nicolais- Narkis model revealed that the interfacial adhesion between silica nanoparticles and the PEN matrix could be improved.

본 연구에서는 나노입자인 카본블랙을 고분자에 분산시킨 복합체를 각각 용액혼합과 용융혼합을 이용하여 positive temperature coefficient (PTC) 특성을 연구하였다. 전도성 나노입자인 카본블랙과 고분자 복합체의 저항 통전 (threshold)은 용융혼합하였을 때 카본블랙의 함량이 35wt% 이상에서 나타났으며. 용액혼합에서는 카본블랙 함량이 40 wt% 이상에서 나타났다. Ethyl-one vinylacetate copolymer (EVA)의 경우, 온도의 변화에 따라서 저항이 서서히 증가하다가 용융점 근처에서 극대값을 나타내었지만, high density polyethylene (HDPE)의 경우는 저항이 온도의 변화에 따라 일정하다가 용융점 근처에서 증가하기 시작하여 용융점에서 극대값을 나타내었다. 통전 후의 낮은 저항과, scanning electron microscopy (SEM)으로 관찰한 결과로부터 전도성 나노입자의 카본블랙 분산방법에서 용액혼합의 분산 정도가 용융혼합 못지않게 나타났다. PTC 소재에 전류인가시 큐리온도에서 1차적으로 저항이 증가하였으며, 고분자의 용융점에서 2차적으로 트립온도가 될 때까지 저항이 증가하다가 트립온도 이후에는 저항이 일정하게 유지됨을 알 수 있었다.

Nanocomposites of polypropylene with organically modified clays were compounded on a twin-screw extruder by two-step melt compounding of three components, i.e., polypropylene, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA), and organically modified clay. The effect of PP-g-MA compatibilizers, including PH-200, Epolene-43, Polybond-3002, Polybond-3200, with a wide range of maleic anhydride (MA) content and molecular weight was examined. Morphologies of nanocomposites and their mechanical properties such as stiffness, strength, and impact resistance were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the dispersion morphology of clay particles seemed to be determined in the first compounding step and the further dispersion of clays didn't occur in the second compounding step. As the ratio of PP-g-MA to clay increased, the clay particles were dispersed more uniformly in the matrix resin. As the dispersibility of clays was enhanced, the reinforcement effect of the clays increased, however impact resistance decreased.

나일론 6의 열변형온도와 탄성률을 증가시키는 동시에 높은 기체 차단성을 얻기 위하여 Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) 또는 유기화제로 개질된 MMT (organo-MMT)를 나일론 6과 melt-compounding함으로써 나일론 6 분자쇄가 MMT 층 내로 intercalation하거나 MMT의 각 층을 완전히 exfoliation시켜 나일론 6/MMT 나노복합체를 제조하는 방법과 Na-MMT 또는 organo-MMT의 존재하에서 $\varepsilon$-caprolactam (CL)을 in situ 중합함으로써 대부분의 MMT가 각각의 층으로 exfoliation 되도록하여 나일론 6/MMT 나노복합체를 제조하는 방법이 널리 쓰이고 있다 [1-2].

The polymer nanocomposites are attracting considerable attention on account of the characteristic properties of nanoparticles have extremely large surface area per a unit mass. Recentry, mica-type silicates like montmorillonite have received a good deal of attention as effective nano-reinforcemen(1), but actually some critical problems such as the difficulties of exfoliation and surface modification, the weak heat-resistance of modifier, and inferior processability due to the increase in melt viscosity have restricted the mass production and various applications of the nanocoposite.

In this study, random polypropylene (rPP) was compounded with two of monoglycerides, namely, glyceryl monolaurate (GML) and glyceryl monostearate (GMS), as antifogging agents to improve its antifogging performance. rPP film samples were prepared by a film-casting method using a three-roll casting machine after melt blending through a twin screw extruder. With an increase in the monoglyceride content, the melt flow index for rPP films with GML and GMS increased, and their yield strength decreased. The incorporation of GMS in rPP was proven to be more effective in improving its physical properties than was rPP with GML. When GML and GMS were separately added to the rPP film at contents of more than 1 phr and more than 5 phr, respectively, the film exhibited antifogging performance.

이축 압출기에서 삼성분계 블렌드가 용융 혼련될 때 상구조의 형성과정에 대하여 연구하였다. 삼성분계 블렌드의 연속상은 polycarbonate(PC)로 고정하였고 나머지 분산상을 이루는 성분으로는 acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene(ABS), methyl methacrylate-butadiene-ethyl acrylate(MBE), styrene-acrylonitrile(SAM) 공중합체, 그리고 poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)를 사용하였다. 블렌드의 여러 가지 조성에 따라 최종 상구조는 현저한 차이를 보였고 특히 MBE와 PMMA의 경우는 각각 PC-SAN의 계면에 선택적으로 위치하였다. 삼성분계 고분자 블렌드의 상구조 형성과정은 성분간의 계면장력과 합체 현상의 상호 작용에 의하여 지배되었으며 합체의 정도는 계면에서의 점도에 의하여 민감하게 변화되었다.
