In recent, recycling of plastic material has became a major issue due to the landfills and environmental problem. This study investigated fluidity and hardness of thermoplastic vulcanizate(TPV), which is used for automobile component parts such as weather strip in order to replace ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM). So, using the spiral flow test mold, we conducted an experiment on fluidity and hardness of TPV according to injection molding conditions. As results of injection molding experiment, the recycled TPV's flow length was a little bit longer than virgin TPV and the hardness was decreased in case of using the recycled resin. Also, we investigated the morphology study by SEM photo.

There are more than 15 millions cars or motors in Taiwan. According to the statistics from Environmental Protection Administration, the number of resulting scrap tires are near 110 thousand tons each year. The tire recycle programs in Taiwan were first conducted in 1989 and executed by ROC Scrap Tire Foundation. However, the current efficiency of the tire recycling industry still needs to be improved to minimize the environmental problem or fire hazards caused by scrap tires storage. Ten major tire-recycling factories are surveyed in this study. The investigations include the source of scrap tire, the shredding process, the market of products, the management of wastes disposal, and the difficulties of these sectors. As the varieties of the shredding machines of the recycle factories, there are three kinds of final products which include powder, granular, and chips. The wastes, wires and fibers, produced by the shredding process are the major problems fur all the factories. The percentage of the wire and fiber removal from rubbers still needs to be increased. The best approaches found in this study to increase the efficiency of scrap tire recycling processes are proposed which include the improvement of magnetic separation system fiber/rubber separation system and the minimization of waste disposal. A categorized standard of the processing outputs is suggested as a reference for the decision-making of the tire-recycling factories.

미연 탄소(unburned carbon, UC)는 대두유를 포수제로 사용하여 부유선별공정을 통해 최대 85.8 wt%까지 비산재로부터 성공적으로 회수되었다. CM (ceramic microsphere)은 부유선별공정 다음 공정인 하이드로 사이클론 분리공정으로부터 18 wt%의 수율을 얻을 수 있었고 회수한 UC와 CM을 각각 고무증량재와 플라스틱(polypropylene) 충진재의 대체재로 사용하여 산업재로 활용 가능성을 조사하였다. 입자가 큰 UC는 볼밀을 사용하여 평균입경 10.2 ㎛로 작게 분쇄하였다. 분쇄된 UC를 점토 대신에 고무증량재로 사용하였을 때 인장강도와 신율이 다소 낮게 나와 고무제품의 표준조건을 만족시키지는 못하였다. 따라서 표준조건을 충족시키기 위해 UC는 고무와 보다 긴밀한 결합이 필요하였고, 이를 위한 표면 에너지를 향상시키는 추가적인 처리가 필요하였다. CM은 평균입경이 5 ㎛의 구형입자로 관찰되었으며, 입자의 표면을 페놀수지, 폴리올, 스테아린산, 올레인산으로 개질하였다. 표면 개질된 CM은 PP (polypropylene) 충진재로 사용되었다. 표면 개질된 CM을 사용한 제품은 흐름성은 양호하였으나 결합력 부족으로 충격강도 및 굴곡강도는 향상되지 못하였다. 그러나 표면 개질된 CM에 유기물과 무기물의 대표적 컬플링제인 실란 1 wt%을 추가적으로 혼합함으로써 충격강도 및 굴곡강도가 크게 향상되는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

PVB was blended with PMMA in order to recycle scraped PVB material which recovered in the safety glass manufactories. The purpose of this research on PVB/PMMA blend was applied with excellent tackiness and transparency of PVB as a material of high strength to make the maximum use. Also, the blending of PVB with PMMA was aimed at the increase of impact strength of PMMA because the elastic property of PVB might decrease the brittleness of PMMA due to the lack of inner impact resistance. Izod impact resistance was propotional to increase the content of PVB, which was predominantly increased in the addition of 10phr above MBS. High rate impact resistance showed a tendency to Increase but it showed a tendency to decrease maximum load and energy if the contents of PVB increased. On the other hand total energy and ductile index showed a tendency to increase excellent impact resistance in the addition of MBS contents. As a result of observed surface of PVB/PMMA blends, the size of PVB domain increased distribution homogenuously, in the addited MBS contents increased it showed distribution homogeneously and partially a wetability.

폐타이어 분말(GRT)을 재활용하기 위하여 sheet type 4그룹과 soft type 1그룹의 자체보수성 방수재를 제조하였다. 각각 방수재의 방수특성을 고찰하기 위하여 방수재들의 물성을 측정하였다. 방수재는 GRT/ 고흡수성수지/ binder로 구성되었으며, internal mixer로 혼합한 후 hot press로 성형하여 제조 되었다. 방수재 제조에 사용된 CRT의 평균입도는 -40mesh 이었고, 고흡수성 수지는 상용품과 poly(AM-SAS-AA)를 제조하여 사용하였고, binder는 PU, EVA, LDPE, SBR, poly(2-EHA)을 사용하였다. 또한 방수재의 물성을 향상시키기 위하여 보강재로 PU film을 사용하였다. 폐타이어 분말을 이용하여 개발된 sheet type 자체보수성 방수재 중 GRT/ CE-500F/EV-600/PU film 과 GRT/GE-500F/SBR(vulcanization)/PU film 로 구성된 방수재가 기존 상용제품의 물성에 근접하였다. 또한 soft type 방수재는 GRT/GE-500F/Poly(2-EHA)와 GRT/P(AM-SAS-AA)/Poly(2-EHA)로 구성된 방수재가 상용제품의 흡수능보다 4-20배의 개선된 결과를 나타내었다.

Nowadays the issue of environmental pollution and ecological destruction is not a simple issue but an important issue to be continuously considered. It is deemed that a study for recycled new materials is immediately required and this study is to analyze features and processing methods of new materials which can be used to interior space. We found the recycled new materials used for space through researching various web sits. And then we analyzed what the base materials are and classified that base materials are whether natural or artificial of the recycled materials. We classified processing methods of the recycled new materials after researching general processing methods. The result of this study would be an important material to the research and development of new finishing materials with consideration of environment and to the research for a guideline of applicable new materials. The results of this study are as follows : First, we could classify widely 2 categories into natural material and artificial material and then 10 subcategories into metal, glass, wood, rubber, stone, plastic, leather or fabric, ceramic, concrete and so on, and analyzed that which material is mostly used and whether it is single material or multiple material. In order to analyze the feature of processing method. Second, we could classify into 4 categories such as junction, surface process, molding, and insert, and found out which processing method is applied based on objects of research. Third, as an analysis result of the recycled new material feature, in order to develop various new materials, it is required to study on combination and application of 2 materials or more rather than single material. Four, as a analysis result of the processing method feature, I would like to suggest that development and application of various processing methods are required. Especially, it is necessary to grope for a way to develop new functional materials for interior space through a systemic research and analysis of processing method of other fields. Furthermore, a way to reuse recycled new materials should be considered in a stage of selection and application of processing method.

The worldwide use of polyurethane foam products generates large amounts of waste, which in turn has detrimental effects on the surroundings. Hence, finding an economical and environmentally friendly way to dispose of or recycle foam waste is an utmost priority for researchers to overcome this problem. In that sense, the glycolysis of waste flexible polyurethane foam (WFPF) from automotive seat cushions using different industrial-grade glycols and potassium hydroxide as a catalyst to produce recovered polyol was investigated. The effect of different molecular weight polyols, catalyst concentration, and material ratio (PU foam: Glycols) on the reaction conversion and viscosity of the recovered polyols was determined. The obtained recovered polyols are obtained as single or split-phase reaction products. Besides, the foaming characteristics and physical properties such as cell morphology, thermal stability, and compressive stress-strain nature of the regenerated flexible foams based on the recovered polyols were discussed. It was observed that the regenerated flexible foams displayed good seating comfort properties as a function of hardness, sag factor, and hysteresis loss compared to the reference virgin foam. With the growing demand for a sustainable and circular economy, a global valorization of glycolysis products from polyurethane scraps can be realized by transforming them into profitable substances.
