본 연구에서는 화학적 구조가 다른 thiuram 계 촉진제인 TMTD (tetramethyl thiuram disulfide), thiazole 계 촉진제인 MBTS (2,2-dithiobis(benzothiazole)), sulfenamide 계 촉진제인 CBS (n-cyclohexyl benzothiazyl-2-sulfenamide)를 사용하여 각각의 촉진제가 실리카가 충전된 천연고무의 가황 특성에 미치는 영향을 비교 평가하였다. TMTD는 상대적으로 빠른 가류 속도와 높은 최대 토크값($T_{max}$), 우수한 기계적 물성을 보였고 MBTS는 상대적으로 중간 정도의 가황 시간과 낮은 $T_{max}$, 기계적 물성을 보였다. 마지막으로 CBS는 느린 가황 시간을 나타낸 반면 상대적으로 우수한 $T_{max}$와 기계적 물성을 나타냈다. 유사한 가황 특성 경향은 카본블랙이 충전된 천연고무 컴파운드에서도 찾아볼 수 있었다.

Partial discharges (PD) lead to the degradation of high voltage cables and accessories. PD activities occur due to the existence of impurities, voids, contaminants, defects and protrusions during the manufacture and installation of power cables. Commonly, insulation failures occur at cable joints and terminations, caused by inhomogeneous electric field distributions. In this work, a blend of natural rubber (NR) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was investigated, and the optimal formulation of the blend that could resist PD was discussed. The experiments were conducted under a constant high voltage stress test of 6.5 kV AC and the magnitude of partial discharge activities was recorded using the CIGRE method II. Pattern analysis of PD signals was performed along with the interpretation of morphological changes. The results showed that the addition of 10 wt% of NR and 5 wt% of Alumina Trihydrate (ATH) provided promising results in resisting PD activities. However, as the NR content increased, more micropores existed, thus resulting in increased PD activities within the samples.

천연고무 라텍스(NRL)와 메틸메타 크릴레이트가 그라프트된 라텍스(MGL)를 각종 첨가제와 혼합하여 dipping공정으로 가황된 NR 및 블렌드 필름을 제조하였다. NR 필름 제조의 최적조건을 규명하기 위하여 숙성시간에 따른 팽윤도, 인장강도 및 $110^{\circ}C$에서 가황시간의 변화에 따른 기계적 특성을 비교하였다. 필름 표면의 구조 및 미끄럼성을 조사하기 위하여 접촉각 및 정 동마찰계수를 측정한 결과, 접촉각은 MGL의 블렌드 비율이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 정 및 동마찰계수는 NR 필름에 비하여 NR/MG과 NR-d-MG 필름이 현저히 감소하여 표면 미끄럼성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

고무상으로 천연고무(NR)와 trans-octylene rubber(TOR)를 플라스틱상으로는 isotactic 폴리프로필렌(iPP)을 고무:플라스틱이 70:30(wt/wt)이 되도록 내부혼합기에서 용융혼합하고, 동적가황시킴으로써 열가소성탄성체를 제조하였으며, 고무상의 TOR 함량에 따른 기계적물성, 동적점탄성물성 및 열적특성의 변화에 관하여 UTM, DMA, TGA등을 이용하여 조사하였다. 고무상에 TOR이 첨가됨으로써 모듈러스, 인장강도 및 신율등의 인장물성의 증가, 영구압축줄음률의 감소, 경도의 증가를 가져왔으며, 또한, 동적특성 및 열적안정성도 함께 향상시킬 수 있음을 알았다. 이와같은 물성의 증가는 TOR이 천연고무에 첨가됨으로써 고무상의 가교밀도를 증가시키고, 고무상의 용융점도를 낮춤으로써 고무와 iPP와의 혼화성을 증대시키기 때문이라고 판단되었다.

광기능성시트 보호용 점착제를 제조하기 위하여 천연고무와 DCPD계 점착부여수지, 세 종류의 지방족 점착부여수지를 이용하여 천연고무계 점착제를 제조하였다. 또한, 천연고무의 낮은 응집력을 대체하기 위하여 점착부여수지의 함량이 고정된 상태에서 SIS 블록공중합체를 함량비에 따라 첨가하여 점착제를 제조하였다. 제조한 점착제의 점착물성을 초기점착력과 박리강도로써 평가하였다. 천연고무/점착부여수지의 초기점착력은 점착부여수지의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하다 최대값을 보이고 감소하였다. 또한, 지방족계 점착부여수지의 연화점이 증가함에 따라 초기점착력이 다소 증가하였다. 점착부여수지의 함량이 50 wt%까지는 박리강도가 증가하였으나 그 이상의 함량에서는 혼합파괴 현상을 보였다. SIS가 블랜드된 점착제의 초기점착력은 지방족계 점착부여수지의 함량이 20~40 wt%에서 최대값을 보였으나 20 wt%에서 fibrillation 현상을 나타내었고 박리강도는 40 wt%에서 최대값을 나타내었다.

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 characterization of the ozone oxidation for raw natural rubber (NR) was investigated under controlled conditions through image and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis. The ozone oxidation was performed on a transparent thin film of raw NR coated on a KBr window in a dark chamber at $40^{\circ}C$ under low humidity conditions to completely exclude thermal, moisture, or light oxidation. The ozone concentration was set at 40 parts per hundred million (pphm). Before or after exposure to ozone, the image of the thin film for raw NR was observed at a right or tilted angle. FT-IR absorption spectra were measured in the transmission mode according to ozone exposure time. The ozone oxidation of NR was determined by the changes in the absorption peaks at 1736, 1715, 1697, and $833cm^{-1}$, which were assigned to an aldehyde group (-CHO), a ketone group (-COR), an inter-hydrogen bond between carbonyl group (-C=O) from an aldehyde or a ketone and an amide group (-CONH-) of protein, and a cis-methine group ($is-CCH_3=CH-$, respectively. During ozone exposure period, the results indicated that the formation of the carbonyl group of aldehyde or ketone was directly related to the decrement of the double bond of cis-1,4-polyisoprene. Only carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes or ketones seemed to be formed through chain scission by ozone. Long thin cracks with one orientation at regular intervals, which resulted in consecutive chain scission, were observed by image analysis. Therefore, one possible two-step mechanism for the formation of aldehyde and ketone was suggested.

The dielectric properties of natural rubber are very important to investigate the molecular structure. The charcteristics of the dielectric absorption in aging natural rubber were studied in the range of frequency from $1{\times}10^3Hz\;to\;3.2{\times}10^7Hz$ at the temperature of $23^{\circ}C$. As the results, it has been confirmed that in the case of aged NR vulcanized specimen with contained sulfur 2 phr above the specimens exhibit two kind of dielectic losses due to the the dipole polarization by impurities and sulfurs, and of raw rubber exhibit the kind of losses due the to dipole polarization. Particularly, it has been affirmed that the dielectric loss spectrum of the aging natural rubber is larger than that the natural rubber, and the dielectric strength of the aging natural rubber drop depreciate respctively.

A series of laboratory scale experiments were performed to investigate the feasibility of membrane separation technology for natural rubber (NR) wastewater treatment and reuse. Three types of spiral wound membranes were employed in the cross-flow experiments. The NR wastewater pretreated by sand filtration and cartridge filtration was forced to pass through the ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes successively. The UF retentate, which containing abundant proteins, can be used to produce fertilizer, while the NF retentate is rich in quebrachitol and can be used to extract quebrachitol. The permeate produced by the RO module was reused in the NR processing. Furthermore, about 0.1wt% quebrachitol was extracted from the NR wastewater. Besides, the effluent quality treated by the membrane processes was much better than that of the biological treatment. Especially for total dissolved solids (TDS) and total phosphorus (T-P), the removal efficiency improved 53.11% and 49.83% respectively. In addition, the removal efficiencies of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) exceeded 99%. The total nitrogen (T-N) and ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N) had approximately similar removal efficiency (93%). It was also found that there was a significant decrease in the T-P concentration in the effluent, the T-P was reduced from 200 mg/L to 0.34 mg/L. Generally, it was considered to be a challenging problem to solve for the biological processes. In brief, highly resource utilization and zero discharge was obtained by membrane separation system in the NR wastewater treatment.

Haloacetonitriles (HANs) are nitrogenous disinfection by-products (DBPs) that have been reported to have a higher toxicity than the other groups of DBPs. The adsorption process is mostly used to remove HANs in aqueous solutions. Functionalized composite materials tend to be effective adsorbents due to their hydrophobicity and specific adsorptive mechanism. In this study, the removal of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) from tap water by adsorption on thiol-functionalized mesoporous composites made from natural rubber (NR) and hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS-SH) was investigated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that the thiol group of NR/HMS was covered with NR molecules. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated an expansion of the hexagonal unit cell. Adsorption kinetic and isotherm models were used to determine the adsorption mechanisms and the experiments revealed that NR/HMS-SH had a higher DCAN adsorption capacity than powered activated carbon (PAC). NR/HMS-SH adsorption reached equilibrium after 12 hours and its adsorption kinetics fit well with a pseudo-second-order model. A linear model was found to fit well with the DCAN adsorption isotherm at a low concentration level.
