Polymer substrates were fabricated by using poly (phenylene ether) as a base resin, N,N'-m-phenylenedimaleimide (PDMI) as a crosslinking agent and decabromodiphenylethane as a flame retardant. The effects of crosslinking agent and flame retardant on physical properties such as dielectric property of the substrate were investigated. Thermal curing feature of PDMI with or without an initiator was analyzed by DSC, and then, PPE-PDMI test compositions were designed based on this result. Composite sheets were cast by film coater, laminated under vacuum and pressure, and then, the changes of dielectric constant, dielectric loss, peel strength, solder heat resistance and inflammability according to increasing amount of PDMI and flame retardant were evaluated, Dielectric constant and dielectric loss showed increasing trend with increasing amount of PDMI and flame retardant, but solder heat resistance and inflammability were improved. Peel strength was obtained higher than 1 kN/m when PDMI above 10 wt% was added, but slightly decreased as the amount of flame retardant increased. From the measured gel contents, the reaction mechanism of PPE-PDMI system was deduced to the formation of network structure by crosslinking PDMI with PPE rather than the formation of semi-IPN structure. In conclusion, the polymer composite substrate materials with dielectric constant of 2.52$\sim$2.65 and dielectric loss below 0.002 at 1 GHz were obtained and they will be proper for high frequency applications.

The PZT(KP12) powder was synthesized by sintering at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs and wet milling for 24 hrs. The PZT composite mixed with PVdF was fabricated into bulk, sheet, and plate type and the characteristics of three types were estimated. The bulk type which has PZT volume percent of 70 showed the best piezoelectric constant. Dielectric constant increased exponentially as an increase of PZT volume percent. The figure of merit of bulk and plate type was better than pure PZT over PZT volume percent of 50.

Formation of a strong 3-dimensional interfacial network structure via chemical reaction between hydroxyl group on silica surface and NR chain by the addition of bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide (TESPT) into silica-filled NR compound was observed by using Py-GC/MS and SEM. Addition of TESPT into silica-filled NR compound decreased scorch time ($t_{10}$) due to increased sulfur content, and reduced cure rate index (CRI) via continuous reaction between sulfur atoms in TESPT, which acted as a sulfur donor, and activators and/or accelerators. Addition of TESPT in the compound improved processability and mechanical properties of the compound. Overall, we observed that the addition of TESPT into the silica-filled NR compound formed a silica-TESPT-NR network, and thus the degree of crosslinking was increased resulting in improved mechanical properties.

As wireless communication devices become more common, interests in how to control the electromagnetic waves generated from the devices are increasing. One of the most commonly used electromagnetic wave control materials is magnetic one, but due to the features that make the product heavy and thick when applied to the product, it is difficult to use them in curved electronic devices. Therefore, a polymer flexible meta electronic device has been presented to sort out the problem, which is thin and can have various curvatures. However, it requires an additional evaluation of curvature reliability. In this study, we developed a method to predict electromagnetic wave control characteristics through the resistance/length of the conductive ink line patterns of polymer flexible meta electronic devices, which is inversely proportional to the electromagnetic wave control characteristics. As the radius of curvature decreased, the resistance/length increased, and there was little variations with the duration times of curvature. We also found that both permanent and recoverable changes along with the removal of curvature were occurred when the curvature was applied, and that the cause of these changes was newly created vertical cracks in the conductive ink line pattern due to the tensile stress applied by applying curvature.

Hybrid process of thermally-induced phase separation and stretching was developed for the preparation of microporous polypropylene hollow fiber membranes. Precursor for stretching was prepared by using soybean oil as a diluent and benzoic acid as a nucleating agent far the sphenlite control and it was stretched far the micrporous hollow fiber membrane. The effects of stretching ratio and deformation rate for stretching process were investigated. Increase of stretching ratio resulted in the greater pore size with nonuniform size distribution. Higher deformation rate also increaser the pore size with uniform size distribution. Stretching ratio was closely related with the orientation of polymer chain and increased the mechanical strength of the fiber. Increase of deformation rate had little effects on the orientation of crystalline phase, and decreased the orientation of amorphous phase which caused the decrease of tensile strength of the fiber and broke the micro-fibrils connecting spherulites to form a circular pore shape.

Environmental problems due to waste tire and waste plastics let us develop practical and economically feasible products. For this purpose, the characteristics of waste tire/plastic composites including various additives were examined using internal mixer. Experimental results indicated that the tensile strength and the flexural strength of waste tire/plastic composites decreased with the waste tire content. When 20 wt% of PP was added to the waste tire (60 wt%)/HDPE composites, the tensile strength was 1.5 times higher than the composite without PP, It was also found that the strain at break of composites increased by 2.5 times with 10 wt% addition of ethylene vinyl acetate and styrene ethylene butylenes styrene respectively. When 10 wt% of glass fiber was added to waste tire (60 wt%)/ HDPE composites, the tensile strength was 63% higher than the composite without glass fiber.

In the non-conductive adhesives (NCAs) for adhesion of micro electro mechanical system (MEMS), there are some problems such as delamination and cracking resulting from the large differences of coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between NCAs and substrates. So, the addition of inorganic particles such as silica and nano clay to the CTEs composit have been applied to reduce the CTEs of the adhesives. Additions of the flexibilizers such as siloxanes have also been performed to improve the flexibility of epoxy composite. Amino modified siloxane (AMSs) were used to improve compatibility between epoxy and siloxane. In this study, glass transition temperatures (Tg) and moduli of those composites were measured to confirm the effects of AMS with two different equivalents on thermal/mechanical properties of AMS/epoxy composites. Tg of KF-8010/epoxy composites decreased from 148 to $122^{\circ}C$ and those of X-22-161A/epoxy composites decreased from 148 to $121^{\circ}C$. Moduli of KF-8010/epoxy composites decreased from 2648 to 2143 MPa by adding KF-8010 and moduli of X-22-161A/epoxy composites decreased from 2648 to 2014 MPa. In short, using long Si-O chain AMS leads to a greater decrease in moduli. However, haven't showed significant differences in Tg's.

고분자 복합체 절연재료는 porcelain 이나 glass 같은 세라믹 소재의 재료와 비교하여 옥외사용 시간의 관점에서 더 뛰어난 특정을 발휘한다. 그러나 노화되었을 때, 이들 옥외용 절연재료의 성질은 발수성이나 흡수성등과 같은 절연재료의 표면특성에 의해 변화한다. 이러한 표면특성의 변화는 누설전류에 의한 트래킹 (tracking), 침식 (erosion) 및 섬락현상(flashover) 등의 유전체 파괴에 이르게 한다. 본 연구에서는 고분자 복합체 절연재료로 널리 이용되고 있는 EPDM의 발수특성을 향상시키기 위해 기존에 이용되던 무기물 첨가제인 alumina hydrate(ATH)이외에 발수성이 뛰어난 실리콘 고무를 상용화제를 이용하여 블렌드하고, 각종 유기 첨가제 및 무기물 보강제를 이용하여 EPDM/Silicone 복합체를 제조하였다. EPDM/Silicone 복합체의 인장강도 및 유전강도는 실리콘의 함량이 증가할수록 낮아졌으며, 촉진 노화시험을 실시한 결과 $120^{\circ}C$까지 인장강도 및 신율을 유지하였다. 유전강도의 측정결과 복합체의 접촉각과 표면에너지 측정결과 Silicone 고무의 함량이 증가할수록 접촉각은 증가하고, 표면에너지는 낮아졌다. 경사평판법에의한 내트래킹성 측정결과 실리콘 함량이 증가할수록 내트래킹성은 우수하였으며, 실리콘 함량이 30%인 복합체에서는 트래킹 및 침식이 진행되지 않았다.

나노섬유는 마이크로 섬유에 비해 $10^3$배 정도의 넓은 표면적을 가지며, 다른 섬유와 비교하여 유연성, 투습성과 같은 특성이 우수하다. 나노섬유의 제조방법은 여러 가지가 있으나, 상용화의 가능성, 적용 고분자의 다양성, 제조공정의 단순성, 다양한 제품기술에의 응용성 등을 고려하여 선택하여야 한다. 나노섬유의 제조기술은 방법에 따라 전기방사, 복합방사, 멜트블로운 공정, 에어레이드 공정, 습식 공정 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 전기방사 등 나노섬유를 대량생산하여 상용화하려는 노력을 지속적으로 하고 있으나 나노섬유의 염색가공에 관련되어 기술적 한계로 제품전개에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 나노섬유 단독으로 제품화하기에는 강도 등의 문제로 PET에 워터펀칭한 복합소재로 개발하여 900nm 이하의 나노섬유에 대한 최적의 날염조건과 현장적용 생산기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 나노섬유 복합소재에 대하여 Brown, Red, Blue, Black 색상의 안료와 Urethane, Rubber, Acrylic, Eco Binder를 사용하여 날염 실험하였으며, 최적의 조건으로 현장생산에 적용하여 생산하였다. 안료의 고착성을 높여 날염성과 염색견뢰도를 증진시키기 위하여 원적외선 열처리기를 개발하여 현장생산에 접목시켰다. 원적외선 열처리기는 벙커C유 또는 가스 등을 사용하는 텐터나 증열기와는 다르게 전기를 에너지원으로 하여 원적외선 램프를 이용한 건열시스템의 형태로 저공해 및 그린 형태의 열처리기 시스템으로, 섬유에 대한 원적외선의 조사거리, 원적외선 램프의 간격, 적용 온도, 원단이송 속도 등에 따른 최적의 원적외선 열처리기 날염조건을 설정하였다. 바인더에 따른 날염성은 우레탄계 바인더를 사용하였을 경우에 가장 선명하고 깊은 색상을 보였으며, 아크릴계 바인더의 경우가 가장 낮은 색상을 보였으며 염색견뢰도는 대체적으로 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 그리고, 최근 환경적인 추세에 맞추어 에코 바인더를 사용하여 날염한 결과 염색성과 내구성 등은 우레탄계와 아크릴계 바인더의 중간 정도의 결과를 보였다.
