The purpose of this research is to examine strength properties of epoxy-modified mortar with expansive and swelling agent contents. The polymer-modified mortars (PMMs) using epoxy resin are prepared with various polymer-binder ratios, expansive and swelling agent contents. The PMMs using epoxy resin are tested for compressive, flexural and tensile strengths. As a result, the strength properties of the PMMs using epoxy resin are depending on the polymer-binder ratio rather than expansive and swelling agent content, and are remarkably improved over unmodified mortar (UMM).

Water swelling behaviors of SBR vulcanizates with different reinforcing systems of carbon black, silica without a coupling agent, and silica containing a coupling agent were studied. Distilled water and 3.5% NaCl solution were used as swelling media. The water swelling ratios in the distilled water were higher than those in the salt solution. The water swelling ratios of the carbon black-filled samples were lower than those of the silica-filled ones. For the silica-filled SBR vulcanizates, the specimens without the silane coupling agent had higher water swelling ratios than those containing it. Water swelling behaviors of SBR composites with different 1,2-unit contents were also compared. The water swelling ratios tended to decrease by increasing the 1,2-unit content.

Effect of fixation methods on the flame retardant(FR) and performance properties of MDPPA/HMM treated cotton fabrics were studied. Combination of three different fixation methods - premercerization, swelling agent treatment, pad dry cure fixation, and wet fixation - were applied to flame retardant finish of cotton with MDPPA/HMM. As a result, an increase in internal volume of cotton fiber by pre-mercerization and addition of swelling agent, and wet fixation increased %add-on of FR agent improving FR efficiency and wash fastness. Tensile strength of MDPPA/HMM treated cotton fabrics by wet fixation and swelling agent were slightly decreased, but that of premercerized cotton was improved. Wet fixated fabric showed lower bending rigidity and better compressional properties which improved fabric hand. Retention of swelling ability of cotton treated with MDPPA/HMM improved moisture absorption properties.

Dyeing and fastness characteristics of 100% meta-aramid fiber were investigated with cationic dyes and swelling agents under various dyeing conditions such as dyeing temperature and pH of dye bath. Dye exhaustion started at around $80^{\circ}C$ and settled down at $130^{\circ}C$. Among swelling agents used, N-methyl formanilide showed comparatively higher K/S values comparing to 1-phenoxypropan-2-ol. Under weak acidic conditions in the range pH 5 to 7, the exhaustion of cationic dyes could be enhanced leading to higher adsorption and stability of colorimetric property. Wash and rubbing fastness were generally good but low light fastness found can be attributable to the poor photo-stability of the cationic dyes.

The near infrared ray camouflage fabric has a near infrared ray reluctance similar to the surrounding environment and has a camouflage effect on the surrounding environment. Synthetic fibers used in military uniforms are difficult to have gastrointestinal function as general commercial dyes, unlike cellulose fibers, which use some commercial vat dyes to impart infrared gastrointestinal function. In this study, we optimized the adsorption pH, temperature and time for NIR dye application for polyester fabrics, and established the optimum concentration for the evaluation of adsorption build-up characteristics. In addition, it is difficult to adsorb it since the polyester material has a dense crystal structure and the NIR dye is bulky. Therefore, a swelling agent used for dyeing meta-aramid fibers with high Tg and high crystallinity was introduced as a separate preparation to increase the affinity to polyester, which is a hydrophobic fiber, to thereby obtain an excellent adsorption rate. As a result of comparing before and after using swelling agent, the adsorption rate difference was 10 times or more when compared with before.

This study optimizes dyeing conditions for polyamide-imide fabric using cationic dyes. Dyeing and fastness characteristics of polyamide-imide fabric were investigated with three cationic dyes and 2-hydroxyacetophenone as a swelling agent under various dyeing conditions such as dye and swelling agent concentrations, dyeing temperature and time, pH of dye bath. The dyeing properties were evaluated in terms of dye exhaustion, K/S value and color fastness. The optimized dyeing temperature and time were $130^{\circ}C$ for 90 min for the dyes. Under weak acidic conditions in the range pH 5 to 7, the exhaustion of cationic dyes could be enhanced leading to higher adsorption. Wash and rubbing fastness properties were generally good, while light fastness was slightly low, which can be attributed to the poor photo-stability of the cationic dyes.

최근 m-Aramid 섬유의 염색에 대한 연구가 진행되면서 기존의 원착법 및 초고온고압법 등 상업성이 낮거나 제약이 많았던 염색법에서 차츰 cationic dye를 이용한 염색법이 상용화되고 있다. m-Aramid 섬유는 amide기의 분자 간 수소결합으로 인하여 결정화도를 증가시킴으로서 고강도, 고탄성의 특성을 가질 수 있지만, 강력한 분자구조와 고결정성의 치밀구조로 인하여 염료가 섬유의 분자구조 내부로 확산, 염착되기 어려운 단점을 가지기도 한다. 따라서 m-Aramid 섬유를 침염법으로 염색 시, 섬유의 치밀구조를 이완시켜줄 수 있는 swelling agent가 중요하게 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 cationic dye를 이용하여 swelling agent의 영향성을 살펴보았다. 사용된 시료는 100% m-Aramid 섬유이며, C.I. Basic Yellow 28, Red 46, Blue 54를 사용하여, 욕비 1:10, $NaNO_3$ 7g/l의 조건으로 $130^{\circ}C{\times}60$분간 염색하였다. 이때 사용된 Swelling agent는 두 가지로 각각 1-phenoxypropan-2-ol(S1)과 N-methyl formanilide(S2)를 주성분으로 한다. 염색 시 염료의 농도는 0.5~7% o.w.f.이며, 염색 전 후 염욕을 UV-VIS을 통해 absorbance값을 측정하여 산출한 염착율과, CCM을 사용하여 최대흡수 파장에서 산출 된 K/S값을 비교 고찰 하였다. 각각의 염색물을 비교한 결과 Red 염료를 제외한 yellow 및 blue 모두 3% o.w.f. 염료농도까지 90% 이상의 흡착율을 보였으며, S1에 비해 S2의 경우 염착율이 근소하게 높은 결과를 보였다. 반면 K/S 값을 비교해보면, S2를 사용하였을 때 10%~60% 높은 K/S값을 보였다. 염착율은 비슷하지만 K/S값의 차이를 보이는 이유는 염색이 끝난 후 수세과정에서 섬유표면에 미고착된 염료들이 빠져나가는 것으로, 이를 통해 S2의 경우 섬유의 내부로 염료를 잘 고착시켜 줌으로서 수세안정성이 S1에 비에 우수한 결과를 보인 것으로 고찰된다.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes crosslinked with poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic anhydride) (PAM) as a polymeric crosslinking agent were prepared to investigate the pervaporation performance for the dehydration separation of aqueous ethanol solution. The characteristics of the resulting membranes crosslinked(x) were analysed by FT-IR and water swelling test. The water swelling decreased with increasing crosslinking agent content. The crosslinked PVA membranes with PAM showed lower water swelling than those of PVA membrane crosslinked with glutaraldehyde and modified PVA membrane. The swelling of water molecules in the crosslinked PVA membranes is more restricted by both chemical crosslinking between PVA and polymeric crosslinking agent chains and physical crosslinking by the entanglement between the PVA and polymeric crosslinking agent chains. For the pervaporation of aqueous ethanol solution through the crosslinked membrane, as the contents of crosslinking agent increased, the separation factor increased while the permeation flux decreased. The separation factor slightly decreased and permeation flux increased with increasing feed water content. As a result it could be considered that PVA-PAM membranes suppressed the plasticization effect even in the range of high water concentration in fled.

In this study the effects of swelling and fixing agent for the cotton side of polyester/cotton blended fabrics and the thermosol temperature on the dyeing properties and fastness. were investigated, when the polyester/cotton blended fabrics were dyed with a disperse dye which was able to dye both side of fiber by one bath one step thermosol process. The obtained results are as follows; The dye adsorption decreased with the increase of cotton blend ratio in polyester/cotton blended fabrics, when the ratio of swelling and fixing agent for cotton side was constant. As the thermosol temperature increased up to $210^{\circ}C$, the dye adsorption were increased, but that effect was less significant when the cotton blend ratio was higher.

In this study, we evaluated properties of pulp treated with swelling agent and swelling concentration. We used swelling agent, such as NaOH, DMSO, urea. One of them, pulps treated with NaOH from 0 to 5% measured WRV, beating efficiency, crystallinity and aspect ratio. We identified that NaOH when freeness reaches 100mL CSF was the shortest, on the other hand, WRV didn't change. Because NaOH is good beating efficiency, when pulp treated with various concentration of NaOH from 0 to 5%, pulp treated 1% NaOH was best beating efficiency. However, WRV, crystalline structure and crystallinity didn't change. The more NaOH concentration increased, the more aspect ratio increased, but when NaOH concentration exceeds 3%, aspect ratio decreased. As a result, pulp treated with 1% NaOH was the greatest beating efficiency and WRV, chemical structure didn't change.
