Virgin NBR and recycled NBR particles, which were pulverized from NBR scraps by high temperature shear-crushing technique, were blended with different mixing ratio. The effects of the recycled NBR content on the cure characteristics and physical properties of these blends were investigated and resistance properties of these blends to heat and various fluids were also studied. The study of cure characteristics showed that the viscosity increased but the scorch time decreased. The physical properties of rubber blends were improved with the addition of the recycled NBR for heat resistance and various fluid tests.

The crosslinking behavior of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) containing eight acrylate groups in a cage form in ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) peroxide crosslinking, the effect on mechanical properties, and the thermal stability were investigated. An EPDM/POSS composite material was prepared by mixing 0 to 12 parts per hundreds of rubber (phr) of POSS per 100 phr of rubber by content and adding a peroxide crosslinking agent. As a result of crosslinking properties, it was found that the acrylate group of POSS was activated by peroxide and improved the peroxide crosslinking efficiency. Although the dispersion stability of POSS in EPDM/POSS composites was poor, the fracture strength, elongation and thermal stability were improved.

When natural rubber dissolved in toluene comes into use as a binder of carbon powder, the volatilization of solvent just after the construction of biosensor brought the mechanical robustness on the paste. This characteristic satisfied the pre-requisite condition for the practical use of carbon paste electrode and a biosensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide was designed. In order to evaluate its electrochemical qualitative and quantitative behaviors, various electrochemical kinetic parameters of the electrode, e.g. the symmetry factor (${\alpha}$, 0.37), the exchange current density ($i_0$, $0.075mAcm^{-2}$), the capacitance of double layer ($C_d$, $9.7{\times}10^{-3}F$), the time constant (${\tau}_A$, 0.92 s), the maximum current ($i_{max}$, $5.92{\times}10^{-7}Acm^{-2}$), the Michaelis constant ($K_M$, $1.99{\times}10^{-3}M$) and others were investigated. Results show that natural rubber is a promising binder of carbon powder.

${\gamma}$-Glycidoxy propyl trimethoxy slilane, CTBN rubber(carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile rubber) and GMA(glycidyl methacrylate) were reacted with the surface of silica one by one in existence of TEA(triethylamine) or BPO(benzoyl peroxide). The amount of reactant was 2.5~5.8% of treated silica weight. The treated silica was mixed with epoxy resin and MTHPA(methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride) in the range of 0~60% (wt. %) of total component. The flexural and thermal properties were tested for cured products. In filler content 35~55%, the using of silica treated with silane/rubber or silane/rubber/vinyl represented 25% higher flexural strength, 5% lower flexural modulus and 13% higher than mixing liquid rubber 3% with epoxy resin containing untreated silica.

The surface of Alnico, one of the industrial dust waste, was treated with 1,3,5-trivinyl-1,3,5-trimethylcyclotrisilazane (VMS) as a surface treating agent and used as the filler for vibration isolator rubber. Maleated EPDM prepared from bulk polymerization of EPDM with maleic anhydride was copolymerized with ${\alpha},{\omega}$-bis(3-aminopropyl)polydimethylsiloxane to obtain maleated EPDM-polydimethylsiloxane copolymer (MEPDM-PDMS). EPDM/Alnico/MEPDM-PDMS vibration isolator rubber was prepared from compounding with Alnico treated with surface treating agent, 25 and 50 phrs to EPDM, respectvely based on 1 to 10 wt% of MEPDM-PDMS to EPDM. From the measurement of the thermal properties to the rubber, the glass transition temperatures (Tg) for the rubber containing maleated EPDM-PDMS copolymer was slightly lower temperature, $33^{\circ}C$ than EPDM rubber, and also DMA results showed higher tan ${\delta}$ peak to the rubber prepared from compounding with EPDM-PDMS copolymer. From the results, rubber prepared using EPDM-PDMS copolymer had better vibration isolator property.

Surface of crystalline silica was sequentially reacted with silane(A 187), liquid rubber(CTBNx8) and vinyl monomer(AA, MMA, 2-HEA, GMA) in existance of amines(TEA, CTMAB, BETAC) or peroxide(BPO). By mixing it with epoxy resin at a ratio 0~36%(volume %) of total component, liquid properties of mixtures was investigated experimentally. i) Coating ratio depended on quantity and sorts of catalyst. ii) Total coating of 2.5~5.8% was attained by using 0.1~2.0% of catalyst. iii) Treated surfaces represented each different features in according to sorts of treatment. iv) Silane/rubber or silane/rubber/vinyl represented lower viscosity and settling than non-treated or silane-treated.

The purpose of this experiment was the physical properties of rubber compounds with DPCB and pure carbon black. Si-O peak in the silcia surface was observed at the range of wavenumber from 1,100 to 1,200 in the DPCB by FT-IR analysis. Cure rate of rubber compounds containing DPCB and organic silane coupling agent were (Si69) delayed compared with those containing pure carbon black. 300% modulus and interaction coefficient of DPCB with silane coupling agent were higher than those of pure carbon black and PICO weight loss amount showed constant value. It was found that $0^{\circ}C$ tan$\delta$ of rubber compounds with DPCB was larger than those of pure carbon black at 2.0% silane coupling agent based on 50 phr DPCB and $60^{\circ}C$ tan$\delta$ of rubber compounds with DPCB decreased as increasing the usage coupling agent. Consequently, it is postulated that DPCB is strong candidate material for lowering rolling resistance under constant abrasion resistance.

The morphology and adhesion properties of rubber compounds containing resorcinol formaldehyde(RF) resin and hexamethoxymethylmelamine(HMMM) used in adhesion of rubber to brass-plated steel cord was investigated. The resins were spherical particles about $2000{\AA}$ diameter and distributed in rubber compounds homogeneously, and the cured compound with steel cord showed migration of resin to steel cord. Also, modulus was increased with increasing HMMM contents. The loss of adhesion between rubber and steel cord was likely to be at initial stages by thermal aging. Considering the physical properties, suability of adhesion layer and thermal aging property, optimum ratio of RF resin and HMMM was 1 : 0.9.

In this work, the influence of milled carbon fiber direction on mechanical properties of milled carbon fibers/carbon blacks/natural rubber compounds was investigated. The compounds were prepared by adding the 6 phr milled carbon fibers (MCFs) and 40 phr carbon blacks (CBs) into the natural rubber. The MCFs were aligned in a parallel and orthogonal direction in the compounds using two-roll-mill machine. Mechanical properties of compounds were studied by tensile characteristics and tearing strength. As a result, the compounds showed higher tensile strength, 100%~300% modulus, and tearing strength than those of using any other compounds due to the aligning MCFs in parallel. Mechanical properties of the compounds reinforced with non-aligned MCFs were inferior to those of others. Consequently, the parallel aligned MCFs in the compounds led to an increase of tensile properties and improvement of tearing strength, resulted from MCFs with the high elastic modulus.

전보에서 천연고무 가유물의 내산화성에는 가교형태의 비율과 결합촉진제나 환상설피드 등이 영향하고 있음을 명백히 했다. 본고에선 OBS/유황계에 대해서 열이력을 부여했을 경우 내산화성에 여하한 영향이 나타나는가를 보았다. 결국 가유시간, 열이력전후 및 망목밀도에 의한 내산화성의 영향을 검토했다. 그 결과 내산화성에 대해서 최적가유시간의 존재가 확인되었다. 이것은 열산화에 대해서 가교형태에 보다 안정된 비율이 존재한다고 추찰되었다. 또 질수중에서의 열이력의 영향에 대해서는 유황의 고비율에서는 내산화성은 양호하게 되며 OBS의 고비율에선 나빠졌다. 전자는 Sp량의 감소, 후자는 결합촉진제의 유리떄문에라고 생각된다. 망목밀도에 대해서는 산소흡수속도와 직선관계이었다.
