Mixture experiments involve combining ingredients or components of a mixture and the response is a function of the proportions of ingredients which is independent of the total amount of a mixture. The purpose of the mixture experiments is to find the optimum blending at which responses such as the flavor and acceptability are maximized. We assume the quadratic or special cubic canonical polynomial model over the experimental region for a mixture since the current mixture is assumed to be located in the neighborhood of the optimal mixture. The cost of the mixture is proportional to the cost of the ingredients of the mixture and is the linear function of the proportions of the ingredients. In this paper, we propose mixture response surface methods to develop a mixture such that the cost is down more than ten percent as well as mean responses are as good as those from the current mixture. The proposed methods are illustrated with the well known the flare experimental data described by McLean and Anderson(1966).

We have used FT-IR spectra to explain the effects of hydrogen bonding between chitosan and polycaprolactam (PA6). A dynamic mechanical analysis study suggested that the optimum chitosan and PA6 miscibility under the conditions of this experiment were obtained at a blending ratio of 40:60. We studied the thermal degradation of chitosan blended with PA6 (chitosan/PA6) by thermogravimetric analysis and kinetic analysis (by the Ozawa method). Dry chitosan and PA6 exhibited a single stage of thermal degradation and chitosan/PA6 blends having> 20 wt% PA6 exhibited at least two stages of degradation. In chitosan/PA6 blends, chitosan underwent the first stage of thermal degradation; the second stage proceeded at a temperature lower than that of PA6, because the decomposition product of chitosan accelerated the degradation of PA6. The activation energies of the blends were between 130 and 165 kJ/mol, which are also lower than that of PA6.

Methylmetharylate grafted latex(MGL) was prepared by emulsion graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto natural rubber latex(NRL) by using t-butyl hydroperoxide and tetraethylene pentamine in an aqueous medium. Blending of MGL and NRL with different mixing ratio carried out and viscosity and particle size distribution of blend latex were determined. It was found that the optimum condition of mature time, vulcanizing temperature and time for preparation of blend latex films were investigated. latex films prepared by dipping process were meaured. As the reuslt, blend latex(NR-d-MG) films obtained from two-dipping system were more excellent than NR and MG film obtained from one-dipping system.

Natural rubber (NR) and bromo-isobutylene-isoprene rubber (BIIR) were compounded with other formulation chemicals through polymer blending via a mechanical mixing method. After rubber vulcanization by hot-press compression molding, the cure characteristics, mechanical properties, and ozone resistance of the NR/BIIR blends were measured. As the BIIR content increased, the maximum torque of the blends decreased, while the optimum cure time and scorch time tended to increase. Furthermore, the hardness of the blends increased with increasing BIIR content, reaching the maximum value at 75 wt% BIIR, and decreased with a further increase in the BIIR loading. The tensile strength and elongation at break decreased with an increase in the BIIR content, reaching the minimum value at 75 wt% BIIR, and increased with a further increase in the BIIR content. In the ozone resistance test, cracks were not generated when the BIIR content was more than 75 wt%.

In this work, an experimental study of the gasification on wood was carried out in downdraft type fixed bed Gasifier attached with 10 kW duel fuel diesel engine. The main objective of the study was to use wood as the biomass fuel for downdraft Gasifier and to evaluate the operating parameter of gasifier unit to predict its performance in terms of gas yield and cold gas efficiency. The influence of different biomass on fuel consumption rate, gas yield and cold gas efficiency was studied. Composition of producer gas was also detected for measuring the lower heating value of producer gas to select the feed stock so that optimum performance in the existing gasifier unit can be achieved. Under the experimental conditions, Lower heating value, of producer gas, cold gas efficiency and gas yields, using wood as a feed stock, are $4.85MJ/m^3$, 46.57% and $0.519m^3/kg$.

This study relates to a production of Quaternary Cement Concrete (QCC) prepared by using Micro Silica (MS), Marble Dust (MD) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA), followed by an investigation towards fresh and hardened properties of blended concrete. A total of 39 mixes were cast by incorporating different percentages of MS (6%, 7% and 8%), MD (5%, 10% and 15%) and RHA (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) as partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement. The workability of fresh concrete was maintained in the range of 100±25 mm by adding 0.7% of Super Plasticizer in the mix. Optimum mechanical strength was observed at combination of 8% MS+5% MD+10% RHA. Marble dust replacement from 10 to 15% and Rice husk ash replacements from 15 to 20% depicted a substantial reduction in compressive strength at all ages. Durability parameter with respect to water absorption at 28 days shows an increasing trend as the percentage of blending increases.

Extrusion is one of the most important processes in polymer industry. The characterization of the polymer melt during processing will improve this process noticeably, One possibility of characterizing the actual processed polymer melt is the inline near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, With this method several polymer properties can be observed during processing, e.g. composition, moisture ormechanical properties of the melt. For this purpose probes for transmission and reflection measurements have been developed, withstanding the high temperatures and pressures appearing during extrusion process (tested up to 300$^{\circ}C$ and 10 ㎫). For the transmission system an optical bypass was developed to eliminate disturbing spectral influences and hence increase the long term stability, which is the prerequisite for an industrial application. Measurements in transmission and reflection produced comparable results (or blending processes, where the prediction error was less than 1%. An optimum RMSEP of only 0.24% was found for preprocessed polymer blends measured in transmission on a laboratory extruder. A transflection measurement allowed for the first time the recording of relevant NIR-spectra in the screw area of an extruder. The application to a (PE+PP) blending process delivered promising results. This new measurement mode allows the observation of the ongoing processes within the screw area, which is of maximum Interest for reactive extrusion processes. Due to economic reasons the calibration transfer between different extrusion systems is also of high importance. Investigations on simulated and real-world spectra showed that a calibration transfer is possible. A new method alternatively to the well-known direct standardization procedures was developed, which is based on an automatic data pretreatment. This procedure delivers comparable results for the calibration transfer. Overall this paper presents concepts, components and algorithms for the inline near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for polymer extrusion, which allows the use of it in a real industrial extrusion process.

조성이 다른 접착제를 포함한 고무혼합물의 가교특성은 접착제 조성에서 탄닌이 많이 포함될수록 스코치 시간은 증가하였으며 경화속도는 다소 감소하는 것으로 보아 탄닌 분자의 크기와 형태 때문에 초기 가교반응을 지연시킴과 동시에 경화속도 역시 다소 지연됨을 알 수 있었다. 이들 고무혼합물의 인장물성 역시 탄닌이 많이 함유된 접착제를 고무에 혼합할수록 고무혼합물의 인장강도는 다소 감소하였다. 이는 탄닌이 많이 함유될수록 가교반응을 지연시켜 전체 고무혼합물의 가교도가 감소하기 때문일 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 접착제의 조성이 고무-섬유 접착에 미치는 영향을 보강코드로서 나일론 610 모노필라멘트를 사용하여 TCAT(Tire Cord Adhesion Test) 방법으로 조사하였다. 레소시놀-탄닌-포름알데히드-라텍스(RTFL) 접착제 조성에서 레소시놀 1 mole당 포름알데히드의 mole 비가 증가할수록 접착력은 증가하였고 대략 포름알데히드 5mole 이상에서 최적의 접착력을 나타냈다. 보강코드상의 접착제 수확량(DPU) 역시 최종 접착력에 영향을 미치지만, 나일론 610 모노필라멘트의 경우는 접착제 조성에 따른 DPU가 거의 일정하여 접착력의 차이는 접착제의 조성 중 탄닌의 거동 때문으로 해석될 수 있었다.

자동차용 웨더스트립 제조공정 중 발생하는 에틸렌-프로필렌 고무 스크랩을 고온전단분쇄기를 이용하여 표면활성화 된 분말을 얻은 후 이를 폴리프로필렌과 블렌드하여 열가소성탄성체를 제조하기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 에틸렌-프로필렌 고무 스크랩 분쇄 시 표면활성제를 1.5 phr 첨가하면 최적의 표면활성화 된 분말을 얻을 수 있었다. 폴리프로필렌의 경우는 maleic anhydride를 반응블렌드에 의해 그라프트시켜 기능화 하였다. 기능화된 에틸렌-프로펄렌 분말과 폴리프로필렌을 블렌드하여 열가소성탄성체를 제조할 때 계면젖음 특성이 중요하기 때문에 계면젖음성을 향상시키기 위하여 상용화제로 poly(ethylene-co-acrylic arid)를 폴리프로필렌에 첨가하였다. Poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid)는 폴리프로필렌의 표면장력을 감소시켰으며 이로 인해 에틸렌-프로필렌 분말과의 계면젖음성이 크게 증진될 것으로 기대된다.
