A new route for making rubber/clay nanocomposites was suggested based on skim natural rubber latex (SNRL), which is a protein rich by-product obtained during the centrifugal concentration of natural rubber (NR) latex. NR/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) based nanocomposites were prepared from SNRL and NBR latex of 26 % acrylonitrile content by blending of aqueous dispersion of organoclay (OC) followed by coagulation, drying, mill mixing and vulcanization. X-ray diffraction(XRD) studies revealed that NR/NBR blend nanocomposites exhibited a highly intercalated and exfoliated structure, especially for NBR-rich blends. Dynamic mechanical studies showed that more compatible behavior was observed for NBR-rich blends. The 25/75 NR/NBR blend nanocomposite showed the best mechanical properties.

Three types of parylene (PA-N, PA-C, PA-D) were used for coating the surface on natural latex rubbers in order to improve surface characteristics including mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The parylene coating was the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method, and the surface properties of the modified latex were measured. Annealing effects on the mechanical properties of the coated latex were also investigated. The adhesion between latex and parylene was good for all the types of parylene used. As annealing temperature was increased, latex modified with PA-N became more hydrophobic, while the latex treated with PA-C and PA-D became more hydrophilic. As the annealing temperature was raised, the tensile strength was increased, and the elongation was decreased. The biocompatibility was noticeably improved on the latex surface modified with the parylenes through CVD method.

Probe diffusion with latex particles in two different types of chemically cross linked gel has been studied. The diffusion of particles in silica gel is decreased by decreasing the gel correlation length but the particles' diffusion in the acrylamide gel still shows the heterogeneity of the gel. By increasing the contents of the gel network the silica gel makes a more homogeneous and compact structure than that of acrylamide gel which has partial heterodyning. Dynamic light scattering study with the probe particles in two different gels reveals the heterogeneity of the gel network. The latex particles trapping in the gel has been investigated by using non-ergodic concepts.

The purpose of this study was to remove the excessive air foaming which was produced in mixing the RSLMC(latex-modified concrete with rapid-setting cement) by choosing the best antifoam agent type. A series of RSLMM(latex-modified mortar with rapid-setting cement) experiments were carried out as a basic experiments for RSLMC with the main experimental variables such as antifiamer types(A, B, C, D), antifoamer contents(0, 1, 2, 3%), and latex contents(10, 15%). Air content test and compressive strength tests were carried out to measure the improved properties of RSLMM. SEM analysis, also, was carried to observe the formation of latex film. The results of RSLMM showed that the decrease of 50% air content was obtained by admixturing an antifoam agent by 1%. This made the strength enhanced and the workability be within the purposed. The best properties of compressive strengths was obtained at latex content of 15% and D antifoam agent of 1%. compressive strength increased about 32.6%. The analysis of SEM results no difference in a formation of later film.

Reinforced concrete(R/C) is commonly used to structures because they have many merits that compressive strength, economy and so on. However, reinforced concrete has a crack at the tensile section which is due to the relatively lower tensile strength than its compressive strength Latex modified concrete(LMC) has higher tensile and flexural strength than the ordinary portland cement, due to the interconnections of hydrated cement and aggregates by a film of latex particles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beam with latex modified concrete, having the main experimental variables such as concrete types(ordinary portland cement concrete, latex modified concrete), latex contents(0%, 15%), flexural steel ratios(0.012, 0.0235), and with/without shear reinforcement. The beam of LMC showed considerably higher initial cracking loads and ductility than that of OPC, but, similar to ultimate strength and deflection. This might be attributed to the interlocking of hydrated cement and aggregates by a film of latex particles, water retention due to hydrophobic, and colloidal properties of the latexes resulting in reduced water evaporation. The beam with latex modified concrete could be adopted at field for controlling and reducing the tensile crack due to its higher tensile strength.

기존 도공지 생산 공정에서 널리 사용되던 블레이드 도공방식을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 기대되는 커튼코팅 방식은 스크래치, 스트릭, 미스팅, 블레이드의 마모등을 발생시키지 않고 고고형분 도공이 가능하며 우수한 커버리지를 갖는 도공층을 형성시킬 수 있다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 하나의 코팅 유닛에서 여러개의 도공층을 한번에 형성시킬 수 있어 설비투자비용 및 건조에너지, 공간활용도 절감 측면에서도 한층 유리하다. 커튼 코팅 방식에서 도공액의 유동은 도공액이 필름 형태로 사출되는 sheet forming zone, 도공액 커튼이 낙하하는 curtain flow zone, 도공액 커튼이 원지와 접촉하는 impingement zone으로 나뉜다. 커튼 코팅이 이루어지기 위해서는 sheet forming zone과 curtain flow zone에서 도공액이 얇은 막 상태를 안정적으로 유지하고 impingement zone에서는 고속으로 이송되는 도공원지에 의한 급격한 신장 조건에서 도공액 필름이 끊어지지 않고 유지되어야 한다. 이를 위해 유화제를 통해 동적 표면 장력을 낮초고 rheology modifier를 통해 점도 및 신장점도를 조절해 도공액의 커튼 안정성을 부여하는 연구가 보고된 바 있다. 도공액 제조시 바인더로 널리 사용되는 S/B 라텍스는 입도, 유리전이온도, 표면전하 등 그 특성을 달리하여 제조할 수 있으며 이러한 특성에 따라 도공액의 점도와 같은 유변특성이 변화하여 도공액의 커튼 안정성에 영향할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 입자경과 유리전이온도, 카르복실화 정도 등을 달리한 다양한 S/B 라텍스를 사용하여 유변특성을 달리한 도공액을 제조하고 커튼 안정성의 변화를 살펴보고자 하였다.

SBR, polyurethane, acryl and epoxy latex were separately mixed with ethylene -vinylacetate emulsion(EVA) in the range of $0{\sim}50wt%$. For the mixtures, the various physical properties such as defoamerability, mechanical property, and water resistance were experimentally examined. The excellent defoamer was BYK-021 and the appropriate use of it was 0.3 phr for the total components. The shrinkage of compounds was influenced by the compatability of resins and the formation of voids. The mechanical properties was related to the cohesive force of resin particles, the coagulation of cement particles and the co-bonding of resin particles with cement particles. Mixing latex separately showed better properties then non-mixing in the shrinkage ratio, flexural strength, adhesive strength, and impact strength. The water resistance of composites mixed with cement was worse than that of EVA resin.

In this research, evaluation of adhesion in tension property of SBR-modified concrete to ordinary portland cement concrete was conducted with uniaxial direct tensile bond test which was proposed by Kuhlmann. A test set-up was fabricated in order to minimize the eccentric force by introducing a joint which might fully rotate. The main experimental variables were cement-latex ratios, surface preparations and moisture levels. The results obtained were as follows: The LMC specimen at 15% latex-cement ratio increased the adhesion in tension by range of 37% compared to that of conventional cement concrete. This might be due to latex film formed between cement paste and aggregate. The effects of surface preparation on bond of latex modified concrete to conventional concrete were significant at the conditions by sand paper and wire brush. A better bond could be achieved by rough surface rather than smooth. The saturated and surface dry (SSD) condition were considered to be the most appropriate moisture level followed by wet, finally by dry. Thus, a proper surface preparation and moisture level are quite necessity in order to obtain better bonding at LMC overlay.
