Potassium tert-butoxide (t-BuOK) with $CO_2$ or benzoyl chloride (BzC) as a polymerization initiator system was used with crown ether or TMAC as catalyst to synthesize very high molecular weight nylon 4 homo- and copolymers by anionic ring opening polymerization. Effect of different amounts of catalyst, crown ether and TMAC on the polymerization was studied in terms of intrinsic viscosity, yield and thermal properties. By adding crown ether or TMAC, polymers with very higher intrinsic viscosity values were obtained in a high yield. It was possible to synthesize nylon 4 homopolymer with such a high intrinsic viscosity value of 6.36 dL/g. Crown ether was found to be more efficient in terms of intrinsic viscosity and polymer yields than TMAC. Thermal analysis confirmed that molecular weight effect on the thermal properties of both nylon 4 and nylon 4 copolymer was marginal.

Poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/Nylon6,12 core/shell micro fiber were prepared by extrusion molding. To investigate their optimum extrusion conditions, compatibility of PBT/Nylon6,12 blend micro fiber in conformity to their weight ratio and manufacture temperature was explored with SEM morphology and DSC. The alterations in their mechanical properties by extrusion speed were compared and analyzed through a UTM. In comparison with SEM figures, the domain sizes of Nylon6,12 were gradually declined by increasing the extrusion temperature of blends. Furthermore, according to these SEM images, the phase separation between Nylon6,12 domain and PBT matrix became indistinct with increasing of weight percentage of Nylon6,12. In case of DSC, the boundaries of two peaks were almost disappeared when increasing the extrusion temperature and also intervals of each two melting peaks became narrow as increasing the Nylon6,12 ratio. The mechanical properties including tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength and flexural modulus were increased as the increase in the extrusion temperature until $260^{\circ}C$. However, the mechanical properties were actually deteriorated over $260^{\circ}C$. The tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength and flexural modulus at $260^{\circ}C$ were 560 $kg_f/cm^2$, 220%, 807 $kg_f/cm^2$ and 22,146 $kg_f/cm^2$, respectively. These values are more than intermediate values of mechanical properties of PBT and Nylon6,12. These results mean that there is compatibility between PBT and Nylon6,12. Based on the extrusion conditions that produced optimum compatibility of blend, as a result, our group obtained micro fibers with the core/shell structure.

The characteristics of nylon6/ionomer semi interpenetrating networks (IPN) as a molded-in-color (MIC) compound had been studied, and comparison was made with nylon6/ionomer blends. Nylon6/ionomer semi IPN shows better homogeneity in phase morphology than nylon6/ionomer blend, and it caused better anti-scratching performance than the blend. This semi IPN structure resulted in lowered crystallization rate, increased melt viscosity and less temperature dependency of viscosity. As a result, we may expect the enhancement of melt processing characteristics in an injection molding process using nylon6/ionomer semi IPN as a MIC compound.

nylon 6의 단점인 저온에서의 연성 및 내충격성 저하를 개선하는 동시에 nylon 6의 내후성도 개선시키는 방법의 하나로 유리전이온도가 매우 낮고, 내가수분해성, 내후성 및 연성(ductile property)이 뛰어난 불소함유 고분자계의 한 종류인 PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)를 nylon 6에 용융블렌드 하는 방법이 제안되었다. [1-5] 그런데 용융상태에서 두 고분자는 부분 혼화성만을 보이고, nylon 6과 PVDF는 모두 결정성 고분자이기 때문에 성형 후 냉각하는 동안 두 고분자의 결정화에 기인한 결정화유도 상분리가 일어나게 된다. (중략)

The physical properties and the dyeability of the nylon S fibers Prepared by high speed spinning according to godet roller draw ratio form 1.1 to 1.6 were investigated. The strains of nylon 6 fibers were decreased against the increase of the godet roller draw ratio. The stresses of nylon 6 fibers were increased with the increase of the godet roller draw ratio. Birefringences, densities and crystallinities of the nylon 6 fibers were increased with the increase of godet roller draw ratio In DSC diagrams, the $\gamma$ form of crystal became dominant at higher godet roller draw ratio. The dye uptakes of C. 1. Acid Blue 113 on the fibers were decreased against the increase of godet roller draw ratio.

It has been attempted to improve the anti-static property of Nylon 6 by means of Vapor-phase polymerization of thiophene in Nylon 6/PVA blend films impregnated with aluminium chloride as an oxident. After Polymerization of thiophene for two hours in Nylon 6/PVA blend films the conductivity increased from $10^{-12}-10^{-13}S/cm\;to\;10^{-5}-10^{-7}$S/cm, and the conductivity of composite films increased with increasing the concentration of aluminium chloride, the content of PVA annd polymerization time of thiophene. Polythiophene introduced in Nylon 6/PVA blend films has been confirmed by FT-IR spectra and scanning electron micrographs.

Nylon-6의 내충격성을 개선하기 위한 개질제로써 에틸렌-프로필렌 고무(EPR)와 에 틸렌-아크릴 에스터-무수말레산 공중합체(EAM)를 첨가한 nylon-6/EPR/EAM 블렌드 시스 템의 유변학적 특성을 24$0^{\circ}C$에서 조사하였다. 개질제중 EAM의 점도는 조성물 가운데 가장 낮음에도 불구하고 첨가량을 증가함에 따라 블렌드의 점도는 증가하였다. 또한 EPR(I)의 점 도가 EPR(II)의 점도보다 낮지만 EAM 함량이 증가함에 따라 nylon-6/EPR(I)/EAM의 점도 는 nylon-6/EPR(II)/EAM의 점도보다 높아지는 현상이 관찰되었다. 이러한 특성을 분산상의 morphology 변화와 전단력하에서 변형이 어려워지기 때문인 것으로 해석하였다.

To reduce the weight of the engineering plastic Nylon 6 resin, two high-temperature foaming agents, p-toluenesulfonyl semicarbazide (PTSS) and 5-phenyltetrazole (5-PT) (0-10 phr), were added and foamed without other additives. We investigated the effects of the foaming agent type and content on the foam density (g/cm³) and percent weight reduction rate of the Nylon 6 foam, and 5-PT exhibited better foaming performance than PTSS. In the case of 5-PT, the weight reduction rate was above 36% when the blowing agent content was 1.5 phr or higher, indicating that 5-PT is an effective blowing agent for reducing the Nylon 6 foam weight. Additionally, we studied the effect of the nucleating agent Talc content (0-0.4 phr) on Nylon 6 foaming, and the nucleating agent Talc considerably reduced foaming.

Calorimetric (D.S.C) studies were carried out on the nylon 4,6 single crystals grown from 1,4-butanediol solution at various crystallisation temperatures, based on the assessment of the lamellar thickness by small angle x-ray scattering. Samples were annealed mainly ot get rid of residual solvents inside the crystals. The effect of annealing on the crystal perfection is inferred from the measured thermal properties of the crystals. Accordig to the scanning rates less than 80 K/min., D. S C. melting peaks indicate that changes in the internal morphology of nylon 4,6 crystals preapred at different crystallisation temeratures yield a thermodynamic melting temperature. Tm, of 319 $^{\circ}C$, for the infinitely extended crystal thickness (1/ι). The obtained heat of fusion value for the inginite crystal thickness, Ho, was 270 J/g from the plot of measured feat of fusion ($\Delta$Hm) vs. reciprocal crystal thickness (1/ι). based on these values, the fold surface energy, $\delta$e. of 65.4 erg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was obtained from Hoffman-Waeeks equation. The thermodynamic melting temperature and heat of fusion of the infinite crystal thickness for the solution grow nylon 4,6 single crystals are found to be higher than of the reported corresponding solution grown nylon 6,6 single crystals. pbtained crystallinity from D. S. C measurements ranges from 40 to 50 %, which is close to the reported yalue for the nylon 6,6 single ctystals but lower than we expected.

Nylon fabric was grafted for the purpose of the development of detergency against the hemoglobin as a protein soil. By free-radical producing chemical initiator systems the graft using acrylic acid(AA) as a hydrophilic vinyl monomer was performed to change surface energies in the presence of ammonium persulfate(APS) as an initiator and then acrylic acid grafted Nylon was treated with NaOH solution. The surface morphology for Nylon-g-NaAA with changing graft rate were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) The properties of the Nylon such as diameter tenacity elongation contact angle and the hemoglobin removal were also investigated. The diameter of grafted Nylon fiber increased as the graft ratio increased. The tenacity of grafted Nylon also increased with increasing graft ratio up to 15% The elongation however decreased gradually according to graft, The contact angle decreased after graft and alkaline treatment. The amount of hemoglobin on the grafted Nylon increased in proportion to the graft ratio. Hemoglobin was easily removed from grafted Nylon while it was difficult to be removed from ungrafted Nylon. The detergency of hemoglobin for grafted Nylon decreased when the graft ratio exceeded 15% The removal of hemoglobin increased markedly with increasing hemoglobin content and revolution speed. Therefore the removal of hemoglobin was improved due to graft and alkaline treatment.
