열수축성 튜브 제조에 적합한 조성을 얻기 위하여 PVC의 방사선가교에 대하여 검토하였다. 중합도가 각각 다른 PVC에 가소제, 가교제를 변화시켜 배합한 혼합물을 방사선 가교시켰을 때 가교도는 가교제, 가소제, 중합도 및 조사선량이 증가됨에 따라 증가되었다. 가교제로서는 삼관능성 단량체가 높은 가교효율을 나타내었다. 가교 PVC 필름의 열수축성은 연신배율과 수축 온도를 높여줌으로써 증가되었으나 가교제 및 가소제의 증가량에 의한 열수축성의 증가는 나타내지 않았고 저중합도 PVC의 열수축성은 극히 저조하였다.

Pharmaceutical use accounts for a great part of articles and papers on crosslinking of polymers. Crosslinking of polymers used for tissue engineering and drug delivery respects non-cytotoxicity and in situ gelling. The crosslinking of polymers is aimed not only at the improvement of modulus, chemical resistance, and thermal resistance, but also at endowing them with such functions as metal adsorption, antifouling, and ion exchange via crosslinked segments. Smart polymers responding to environmental change, and cosslinking mediated by light, enzyme, natural compound and in aqueous medium in consideration of environment are being studied. Developing new polymeric materials is essential along with the pharmaceutics aiming at the longevity of 120 years old. Functionalization and property adjustment of polymers through crosslinking will be done more delicately. Hydrogels will be focused on injectable and in situ gel forming. In the coating industry crosslinking system with low non-toxicity and low energy consumption will be developed in consideration of workers and environment.

Various crosslinked poly(4-vinylpyridines) having different degrees of crosslinking were prepared by radical copolymerizations of 4-vinylpyridine with N, N'-2, 6-pyridinebisacrylamide as a crosslinker. The abilities of these crosslinked polymers to bind methyl orange and butyl orange were investigated at various temperatures in a buffer solution of pH 7. The first binding constants were evaluated from the equilibrium binding amounts. The first binding constants against the temperatures showed bell-shaped curves. Also, the first binding constants against the degree of crosslinking showed bell-shaped curves. When the temperature and the degree of crosslinking of maximum binding in the curves of these binding systems were compared with those of previous systems containing crosslinked poly(4-vinylpyridines) prepared by using N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide, N, N'-tetramethy-lenebisacryamide and divinylbenzene as crosslinkers, respectively, they were varied with the crosslinked poly(4-vinyl pyridines) containing different crosslinkers. These results were discussed in terms of the properties of the crosslinkers.

EPDM(Ethylene-propylene-diene-terpolymer) compound reinforced with carbon black having four different particle size, acetylene black(thermal conductivity carbon black), and silica were manufactured by internal mix and open mill. To investigate the effect of particle size of filler and filler type on far-infrared vulcanization, intermal temperature of compound, degree of curing, infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis were measured. The thermal conductivity of far-infrared vulcanized EPDM compound increased with increasing particle size of carbon filler, but hot air vulcanized EPDM compound is not affected by particle size. The thermal conductivity was increased in the order of carbon black < silica < acetylene black(thermal conductivity carbon black).

The silane crosslinking method was applied for the crosslinking of polyethylene (PE). Crosslinking of PE was performed by, first grafting vinyltrimethoxysilane(VTMOS) to the main chain of PE using an extruder at $200{\sim}210^{\circ}C$, followed by exposure to three different silane crosslinking conditions (1. immersed in $80^{\circ}C$ water, 2. at $80^{\circ}C$ air forced convection oven, 3. exposed to air at room temperature ). The thermal characteristic changes of PE resins with respect to the silane crosslinking conditions were studied by measuring the crystalline melting temperature, density and crosslinking reaction rate. Because silane crosslinking was carried out at solid state, crystalline melting temperature, crystallinity, crystal growth rate, crosslinking reaction rate and the change in the density of silane crosslinked PE were affected by crosslinking condition and the type of base resin. The properties of silane crosslinked PE were different from those of Peroxide crosslinked PE which was crosslinked at the molten state. It was found, from the result of DSC analysis, that silane crosslinked linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) crosslinked at room temperature had no secondary melting peak because the crosslinking reaction proceeds slowly as the crystalline grows. After crystallization, the melting point of PE was lowered by crystalline interruption of crosslinked site.

Chitosan composite membranes were prepared by casting chitosan solution onto porous polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane. Composite membranes to separate water from aq. ethanol solution were chemically crosslinked by using various crosslinking agent, glyoxal, terephthalaldehyde and glutaraldehyde. The morphology of surface crosslinked chitosan composite membranes were examined by scanning electron microscopy. ATR-FTIR was employed to confirm the crosslinking mechanism of surface crosslinked chitosan composite membranes. In the case of glutaraldehyde, optimum separation factor and decreasing trend of flux were shown.

Far-infrared vulcanization of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer(EPDM) compounds has been studied in comparison with hot air vulcanization. Vulcanization characteristics of EPDM compounds were measured by degree of curing and temperature of specimens in vulcanization process. As a result, degree of curing by far-infrared of EPDM compounds was shown to be higher value than that by hot air at the same vulcanization temperature. Especially, degree of curing by far-infrared on 3 mm thickness of EPDM compounds was increased by two times compared to that by hot air. While the increase of thermal conductivity of EPDM compounds highly improved degree of curing by far-infrared, that hardly improved degree of curing by hot air.

The PVA hydrogels were prepared by the chemical and irradiation method to improve the heat resistance of these hydrogels at the high temperature. The physical properties such as the gel content, the degree of swelling and the gel strength for the synthesized hydrogels were examined. Gel content increased as the chemical reaction time and the irradiation dose increased, and gel content of the hydrogels were higher when the two-steps of chemical and irradiation method were used rather than only the chemical method. Gel strength increased as the chemical reaction time increased, and as the irradiation dose decreased. The hydrogels prepared by the chemical reaction for 5 hours and the two-steps had the heat resistance at the high temperature.

In this study, 3D networked poly(sodium acrylate) gel was polymerized and controlled with the crosslinking environment to evaluate the mechanical properties and swelling behavior. In general, as the degree of crosslinking in a pre-gelled solution increases, the swelling ratio of the 3D networked gel decrease while the mechanical strength of the gel increases. Interestingly, this study demonstrates that the polymerization and crosslinking efficiency in gelling process could be depended on the crosslinking environment by evaluating the number of elastically cross-links in 3D networked gel. As a result, the number of elastically corss-links would be changed with 3.6 times as varying of the crosslinking environment while keeping the degree of crosslinking. It is expected that the 3D networked gel would be optimized as an effective absorbing agent for VOCs by using the gel evaluation method based on the number of elastically cross-links.

세가지 가교제 즉 황, tetramethyltyiuram disulfide (TMTD) 및 dicumyl peroxide(DCP)로 각각 가교시킨 카본블랙 충진 고분자 망상 시료들에 대해 일축연신 실험 을 통해 얻은 Mooney plot를 분석, 가교 탄성율 Gc와 엉킴 탄성율 Ge를 각각 구하였다. 각 가교계에 대하여 Gc를 통해서는 가교 사슬간의 평균분자량, 망상사슬과 카본블랙간 결합체 의 밀도 및 평균 면적 등을 Gc를 통해서는 카본블랙 첨가에 따른 관경비를 각각평가하였다. 황 가교제의 경우 Gc가 가장 높았으며 망상 사슬과 카본블랙간의 결합이 가장 잘 이루어졌 다. TMTD와 DCP가교제의 경우는 황의경우보다 카보블랙 입자와의 결합력은 낮았으나 결 합체들의 분포는 더욱 조밀하게 나타났다. 또한 Ge평가로부터는 TMTD 가교계가 카본블랙 충진에 의해 관경이 가장크게 증가함을 알수 있었다.
