Waste shell powder was added to the high density polyethylene(HDPE), and resultant mechanical properties and flame retardancy were analyzed in terms of shell content. Compatibilizer(PE-g-MA) was used to enhance the mechanical properties of the prepared HDPE/shell composites, and several flame retardant agents($Al_2O_3$, $Sb_2O_3$) were utilized to improve flame retardancy. Addition of the compatibilizer resulted in an improved mechanical properties due to the increased interfacial bonding between HDPE matrix and shell powder. In the case of impact strength, it even reached to the impact strength of pure HDPE. Also the addition of the flame retardant agents did not exhibit mechanical property decrease. UL-94 flammability test on the prepared HDPE/shell composites indicated that at 40wt% of shell only inclusion, time to ignite the flame and the total time of flame duration increased. When flame retardant agents mixed with shell powder were added to the HDPE matrix, improved flame retardancy was observed. Generally, flame retardancy effect of $Al_2O_3$ was better than $Sb_2O_3$. UL-94 V-0 classification was observed for the specimens with $Al_2O_3$ and compatibilizer at more than 40wt% shell, and also for specimens with $Sb_2O_3$ and compatibilizer at all shell content.

원적외선, 음이온 방출과 항균, 탈취, 난연등의 효과를 가지는 황토를 합성수지와 혼합하여 복합소재를 연구하여 환경 친화적인 특징과 원적외선, 음이온의 방출을 이룰 수 있는 복합소재 조성을 연구하였다. PP는 MI가 2~60이고, TPE로 Ethylene계을 사용하였으며, 황토와 PP의 혼련을 도와주기 위하여 MA-g-PP를 첨가하였고, 활제, 분산제 및 산화방지제를 첨가하여 compounding 하였다. 또한 황토의 종류에따라 적황토, 호황토, 홍토, 백토, 흑토등으로 구분되고, 각각의 황토 마다 다양한 종류의 입도를 가지고 있으며, 또한 환경 친화적이며 난연성을 부여하기 위하여 다양한 조성으로 compounding 하였다, 황토의 종류에 따른 복합재료의 물성으로부터 기계적 특성치, 원적외선 방사율, 난연성등을 확인하고, 친환경 난연 복합소재 기술을 연구하였다. 적황토의 경우 황토의 함량이 많을수록 인장강도는 작아지는 경향을 나타냈으며, 입도가 작을수록 인장강도가 커지는 경향을 나타냈다. 파단신율의 경우 적황토(#2000)에서 가장 양호하게 나타났으며, 굴곡강도, 충격강도의 경우 적황토(#5000)에서 MI 의 경우 적황토(#325)에서 양호하게 나타났다.

Phosphoric ester compound was employed as thermal resistant and flame retardant for chlorinated polyethylene(CPE) rubber material which is used to prepare automotive oil cooler hose. Cure characteristics, physical properties, thermal resistance, and flame retardation of CPE rubber compounds were investigated. CPE rubber which has excellent properties such as cold resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, and is inexpensive in price than existing ethyleneacrylate rubber(EAR) was used to prepare a rubber compound useful for hose. A non-halogen flame retarding agent N,N'-bis- (diphenylphosphoro) diaminohexane(BDPDH), which is condensed phosphoric ester, was synthesized and it was mixed to CPE rubber material with the range of $0{\sim}30 phr$. From the test results, rheological properties, heat resistance, and flame retardance of CPE rubber compounds were found out to be much increased. The optimum content of BDPDH to rubber which gives maximum effect on thermal resistance and flame retardation, within the range of tolerable specification for rubber materials, was determined to be 20 phr.

상용 AZ계열 마그네슘합금에 Ca을 첨가한 경우 발화저항성은 증가한 반면에 내식성은 감소하였다. 이에 비하여 Ca과 Y을 복합첨가한 경우에는 발화저항성 뿐만 아니라 내식성도 크게 향상되었다. 이는 합금원소의 종류 및 첨가량 변화에 따른 제2상의 종류와 분율의 변화 및 표면피막의 특성 변화에 기인한다.

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 demand for cold-resistant cable material is increasing due to the rapid increase in the development of devices that operate in a low temperature environment. Cold tolerance of a thermoplastic polymer largely depends on the type and content of about 20 or more additives used to make the polymer. The phenomenon of polymer hardening at low temperature can be classified into hardening by simple temperature effect, embrittlement at the glass transition temperature, and hardening by crystallization of polymers that tend to crystallize. In this study, a thermoplastic polymer having a low glass transition temperature, a flame retardant, and an additive were mixed to evaluate the mechanical properties of a thermoplastic polymer composite material for electric wires. It has been confirmed that mechanical properties and processability are determined depending on the additives and compatibilizers added, and this study is considered to be useful as basic data for optimization to meet the performance requirements of wires developed for low-temperature use.

This study was carried out to prepare a type of warm mix asphalt. Through urethane foam and emulsion asphalt preparation techniques a protocol of asphalt foam was made. Then three kinds of flame retardant agents were added in there to alleviate the inherent susceptability of asphalt and foam material to flame and thus flame retardant asphalt foam was made. The internal structure of form asphalt was composed of open cell. The higher the NCO% brought the larger the cell and the stronger also. Asphalt increased the strength of the foam. Among the flame retardant agents employed tritorylphosphate was the most effective.

Polymers are widely applied to construction materials due to their lightweight and excellent mechanical properties. However, owing to the combustible properties, polymers are one of the biggest reason of spreading large fires in fire accidents that occur frequently in the construction industry. Therefore, as a solution to this problem, many research has been conducted to impart flame retardancy by incorporating flame retardants to polymer matrix. Among these flame retardants, organic phosphorus-containing flame retardants have been attracting much attention because they have excellent compatibility with polymer matrix and low toxicity compared with halogen or inorganic-containing flame retardants. Accordingly, this study aims to design and synthesize an alkoxyamine-based organic phosphorus flame retardant to improve flame retardancy of polylactide which is an eco-friendly polymer used for construction materials.

In this study, flame retardancy of polyurethane foam and phenolic foam were investigated by addition of phosphorous flame retardants. The thermal degradation behavior of polyurethane foam and phenolic foam in the presence of flame retardants has been studied by thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). Heat release rate(HRR), mean HRR, mass loss rate(MLR), total smoke released(TSR) and limited oxygen index(LOI) were tested by cone calorimeter. From the test results, Phenolic foam showed low HRR, MLR and TSR than polyurethane foam.
