가공기기의 기하학적 구조(geometry)가 실리카 분산에 대해 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서 롤밀(two roll mill)과 밀폐식 혼합기(internal mixer)를 사용하여 실리카가 충전된 부틸고무 가황물을 제조하여 가황특성, 인장특성 및 실리카 분산을 비교하였다. 가공 시, 롤밀을 사용하여 제조한 배합물은 밀폐식 혼합기를 사용하여 제조한 배합물보다 경화 속도($t_{90}$)는 약간 느렸으나, 긴 유도시간($ts_2$), 높은 최대 토크 값($T_{max}$)을 보였다. 또한 롤밀을 사용하여 제조한 배합물은 실리카 입자의 분산 및 기계적 물성의 특성에 있어서 밀폐식 혼합기를 사용했을시 보다 상대적으로 우수함을 보였다.

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.

The abrasion resistances of silica-filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds prepared with and without dicyclopentadiene resin (SBR-R and SBR-0, respectively) were studied using four different abrasion testers, namely cut and chip (CC), Lambourn, DIN, and laboratory abrasion tester (LAT100). The effect of the resin on the abrasion behavior was elucidated by analyzing the morphologies and size distributions of wear particles. All the wear particles had rough surfaces, but those obtained in the Lambourn abrasion test exhibited relatively smooth surfaces. The size distributions of the wear particles showed different trends depending on the abrasion tester and the rubber compound; however, most of the wear particles were larger than 1000 ㎛. The SBR-R sample showed a wide range of particle sizes (from 63 ㎛) in the LAT100 abrasion test and majority of the wear particles were 500-1000 ㎛, whereas the SBR-0 sample had the most distribution of larger than 1000 ㎛. The abrasion rates of SBR-0 sample were lower than those of the SBR-R sample for the CC and LAT100 abrasion tests, but the Lambourn abrasion test result showed the opposite trend. Addition of the resin influenced the abrasion behavior, however the effect varied depending on the type of abrasion tests.

극성을 띠고있어 응집되는 성향이 카본블랙에 비해 강한 실리카의 분산도는 고무 복합소재의 물성을 좌우하는 중요한 요소이다. Wolff는 입자간 상호계수(${\alpha}_F$)를 도입하여 충전제간의 구조발달을 최초로 표현하였다. 하지만, 양기능성 실란의 도입에 따라 형성되는 3차원 구조발달은 표현할 수 없었다. 후에 이를 보완하기 위하여 Wolff의 표현은 복합소재 내 ${\alpha}_F$를 포함하는 구조발달 상호계수 ${\alpha}_C$로 확장되어 표현되었지만, 실험적으로 이 표현을 증명한 연구는 없었다. 이 논문은 구조발달 상호계수인 ${\alpha}_C$를 ${\alpha}_F$(실리카-실리카간 구조발달 상호계수), ${\alpha}_{FP}$(실리카-실란-고무간 구조발달 상호계수), ${\alpha}_P$(고무-고무간 구조발달 상호계수)로 고려하여 단기능성 및 양기능성 실란으로 처리된 실리카가 함유된 복합소재를 실험에 의해 최초로 표현하였다. 구조가 다른 실란들(PTES, OTES, TESPD, TESPT)을 이용하여 구조발달 상호계수 ${\alpha}_C$를 구성하는 ${\alpha}_F$, ${\alpha}_{FP}$, ${\alpha}_P$의 수치들을 측정하고 계산하였다. TESPT가 첨가된 복합소재의 ${\alpha}_C$의 값은 1.64이며, 이를 구성하고 있는 ${\alpha}_F$, ${\alpha}_{FP}$, ${\alpha}_P$는 각각 0.99, 0.31, 0.34로 나타났다.

In order to selectively remove oil and organic compound from water, silica nanoparticles with hydrophobic coating was used. Since silica nanoparticles are generally hydrophilic, removal efficiency of oil and organic compound, such as toluene, in water can be decreased due to competitive adsorption with water. In order to increase the removal efficiency of oil and toluene, hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was coated on silica nanoparticles in the form of thin film. Hydrophobic property of the PDMS-coated silica nanoparticles and hydrophilic silica nanoparticles were easily confirmed by putting it in the water, hydrophilic particle sinks but hydrophobic particle floats. PDMS coated silica nanoparticles were dispersed on a slide glass with epoxy glue on and the water contact angle on the surface was determined to be over $150^{\circ}$, which is called superhydrophobic. FT-IR spectroscopy was used to check the functional group on silica nanoparticle surface before and after PDMS coating. Then, PDMS coated silica nanoparticles were used to selectively remove oil and toluene from water, respectively. It was demonstrated that PDMS coated nanoaprticles selectively aggregates with oil and toluene in the water and floats in the form of gel and this gel remained floating over 7 days. Furthermore, column filled with hydrophobic PDMS coated silica nanoparticles and hydrophilic porous silica was prepared and tested for simultaneous removal of water-soluble and organic pollutant from water. PDMS coated silica nanoparticles have strong resistibility for water and has affinity for oil and organic compound removal. Therefore PDMS-coated silica nanoparticles can be applied in separating oil or organic solvents from water.

Wet masterbatch (WMB) technology is studied to develop high-content and highly disperse silica-filled compounds. This technology refers to the solidification of surface-modified silica with a rubber solution or latex. Until now, researchs based on styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/silica WMB has been mainly performed. However, the blending of SBR/silica WMB and BR is not known and is currently under research and development. Therefore, in this study, the BR blending method suitable for emulsion (ESBR)/silica WMB is investigated by measuring their cure characteristics and the mechanical and dynamic viscoelastic properties. As a result, it was confirmed that the blending of ESBR/silica WMB and BR/silica dry masterbatch is most appropriate. However, it showed a disadvantage compared with the conventional mixing method, which was due to the surfactant remained and the sulfuric acid used as the coagulant.

Various studies have been conducted to improve silica dispersion of silica filled tire tread compounds; among them, silica wet masterbatch (WMB) technology is known to be suitable for manufacturing silica filled compounds that have high silica content and high dispersibility. Till now, the WMB study is focused on the natural rubber (NR) or emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber (ESBR) that does not have a silica-affinity functional group, and a study of NR or ESBR having a silica-affinity functional group is still not well known. Unlike the dry masterbatch technology, the WMB technology can solve the problems associated with the high Mooney viscosity when applied to silica-friendly rubber. However, a coagulant suitable for each functional group has not yet been determined. Therefore, in this study, different coagulant applied silica WMB was prepared by applying calcium chloride, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid by using a carboxyl group functionalized reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer ESBR. The evaluation of the WMB compounds revealed that the calcium chloride added WMB compound showed excellent silica dispersion, abrasion resistance, and rolling resistance.

실리카와 카본블랙으로 보강된 SBR 배합물의 가황 특성과 bound rubber 함량 그리고 가황물의 물성에 보강제의 조성비가 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 고무 배합물의 보강제 총 함량은 80.0 phr 이다. Bound rubber 함량은 실리카 함랑비가 증가할수록 증가하였고 점도 역시 증가하였는데, 특히 실리카 함량이 60.0 phr 이상일 때는 점도의 증가폭이 두드러지게 높아졌다. 가황시간은 실리카 함량이 증가할수록 느려졌고 가황 속도도 느려졌다. 실리카 함량비가 증가할수록 델타 토크가 증가함에도 불구하고 모둘러스는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. $60^{\circ}C$에서의 tan ${\delta}$ 값은 실리카 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였다.

The demand for truck bus radial (TBR) tires with enhanced fuel efficiency and wear resistance have grown in recent years. In addition, as the issue of particulate matter and air pollution increases, efforts are being made to reduce the generation of particulate matter. In this study, the properties of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) containing a silica-friendly functional group were evaluated by considering it as a base rubber and varying the silica ratio in this binary filler system. The results showed that the wear resistance of the NR/BR blend compound decreased as the silica ratio increased. In contrast, the ENR/BR blend compound exhibited an increase in wear resistance as the silica ratio was increased. In particular, the ENR-50/BR blend compound showed the best wear resistance due to the presence of several epoxide groups. Furthermore, we observed that for tan 𝛿 at 60℃, higher epoxide content resulted in the higher T_g of the rubber, indicating a higher tan 𝛿 at 60℃. On the other hand, it was confirmed that increasing the silica ratio decreased the value of tan 𝛿 at 60℃ in all compounds. In addition, we measured the amount of wear particulate matters generated from the compound wear. These measurements confirmed that in the binary filler system, regardless of the filler type, the quantity of the generated wear particulate matters as the filler-rubber interaction increased. In conclusion, the silica filled ENR/BR blend compound exhibited the lowest generation of wear particulate matters.

실란처리된 실리카가 천연고무 복합소재 내에서 실리카 간의 구조 발달 상수 ${\alpha}_F$에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. 기존의 질량분율로 표시하던 Wolff의 방법을 본 실험에서는 부피분율을 사용하여 Wolff의 값과 비교하였다. 두 표현방식 모두 실리카의 함량이 증가할수록 ${\alpha}_F$값이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 부피분율로 표현하였을 시 ${\alpha}_F$값 간의 차이가 더욱 커지는 것을 관찰하였다. 따라서 부피분율로 표현하는 것이 ${\alpha}_F$값의 차이를 관찰하는데 있어서 기존에 질량분율을 사용하는 Wolff의 방법 보다는 차이를 뚜렷하게 나타낼 수 있다는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 촉진제의 양을 변화시켜 관찰한 ${\alpha}_F$값의 변화와 비교하였다.
