In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was modified by reactive extrusion with a functional monomer GMA(glycidyl methacrylate), MMT(montmorillonite), and initiator to enhance the melt strength. Each modified PLA was prepared with different amounts of GMA and MMT and was characterized by measuring thennal- and melt-viscoelastic properties. The degree of dispersion of MMT was measured by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The glass transition temperature($T_g$) of modified PLA-GMA-MMT nanocomposite decreased with increasing GMA content, but was a little affected by the amount of MMT. Surface analysis showed that the nanocomposite became more intercalated than exfoliated as the amount of MMT increases. The complex viscosity and storage modulus of the nano-composite were greatly increased by addition of MMT.

일반적으로 압출용 빌렛트제조에는 빌렛트상하의 품질변화로 수평연속주조법이 사용되지 않고 있지만 전자기교반법을 이용할 경우 이러한 단점이 없어진다. 따라서 전자기교반장치를 설치한 수평연속주조장치를 이용하여 연주빌렛트를 제조하였다. 최대자속밀도가 1000Gauss 인 전자기교반장치를 설계 제작하였으며, 간접냉각방식의 흑연몰드에서 알루미늄합금을 사용하여 건전한 연주빌렛트를 제조할 수 있는 여러 공정조건을 조사 검토하여 직경 70mm의 기포가 없고 표면이 미려한 등축정을 가진 연주빌렛트를 제조하였다. 인출속도에 따른 수평 연속주조 빌렛트의 표면, 용탕유동라인 및 조직을 검토한 결과 평균인출속도 20mm/min에서 40mm/min까지 아주 미려한 표면특성을 가졌으며, 인출속도가 빠르면 유동라인이 표면에서 중심 쪽으로 완만한 기울기를 가지게 되어 표면응고층이 얇아져 빌렛트가 고액계면에서 끊어지게 되며, 조직미세화는 인출속도가 클수록 미세화되었으나, 결정구상화정도는 인출속도가 빠를수록 악화되었다.

Starch phosphates were prepared from the corn starch mixed with 2% sodium tripolyphosphate by twin-screw extruder with a feed rate of 20 kg/hr and an extrusion temperature of $130^{\circ}C$, and the effects of extrusion variables on the physicochemical properties (target parameters) of starch phosphates were investigated. Interrelations of system parameters (specific mechanical energy and extrudate moisture) and rheological properities of starch was analyzed by using the response surface analysis. Degree of substitution (DS) was increased with increasing the feed moisture, and showed the maximum value at the screw of near 250 rpm, Degree of gelatinization was proportionally increased with increasing the screw speed and decreasing the feed moisture. Apparent viscosity of the paste was increased with increasing the feed moisture, but it was not significantly affected by the screw speed. It was found by scanning electron microscopy that the starch microgranules were much more degradaded, and as consequent result, the intrinsic viscosity was decreased, whereas, water solubility index was increased. The rate of retrogradation of the gels was retarded with increasing DS and decreasing viscosity.

The artificial lightweight aggregate (ALA) was manufactured using coal bottom ashes produced from a thermoelectric power plant with clay and, the sintering temperature and batch composition dependence upon physical properties of ALA were studied. The bottom ash (BA) had 13wt% coarse particle (>4.75mm) and showed very irregular shape so should be crushed to fine particles to be formed with clay by extrusion process. Also the bottom ash contained a many unburned carbon which generates the gas by oxidation and lighten a aggregate during a sintering process. Plastic index of green bodies decreased with increasing bottom ash content but the extrusion forming process was possible for the green body containing BA up to 40wt% whose plastic index and plastic limit were around 10 and 22 respectively. The ALA containing $30{\sim}40wt%$ BA sintered at $1100{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ showed a volume specific density of $1.3{\sim}1.5$ and water absorption of $13{\sim}15%$ and could be appled for high-rise building and super-long bridge.

In this study, we report on the catalyst process installed in conjunction with a wet plasma electrostatic precipitator to remove the oil mist and fine dust emitted from large-size grill restaurants. The multi-stage catalyst module reduced odor through catalytic reaction of acetaldehyde on catalysts even at an ambient temperature with ozone as an oxidant readily produced in a wet plasma electrostatic precipitator. Two types of manganese-based catalysts, $Mn_2O_3$ and $CuMnO_x$ were fabricated by extrusion molding for structured catalysts in practical applications, and the optimum conditions for high removal efficiencies of acetaldehyde and ozone were determined. When two optimized catalysts were applied in a two-stage catalyst module, the removal efficiency of acetaldehyde and ozone were ${\geq}85%$ and 100% respectively at the space velocity of $10,000h^{-1}$ and the reaction temperature of $100^{\circ}C$.

고체산화물 연료전지 (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, 이하 SOFC)는 제조형태에 따라 크게 평판형과 원통형으로 구분할 수 있다. 단위면적당 출력 효율이 높은 평판형의 장점과 원통형의 밀봉이 용이한 장점을 동시에 가지는 평관형 형태로 지지체를 제작하였으며, 셀의 배치를 평면상 직렬로 연결하는 다전지식으로 구성함으로 전극의 길이나, 셀 간격을 기존 평판형이나 원통형에 비해 대폭 감소시켜 단위면적당 전압 및 출력효율을 높이고자 하였다. Segmented 평관형 지지체의 소재로는 연료전지의 성능 특성에 관여하지 않으며 열사이클 저항성과 기계적 강도가 우수한 spinel구조를 가지는 $MgAl_2O_4$를 선정하였다. 연료가스의 원활한 공급이 가능하도록 carbon을 기공 전구체로 사용하여 압출성형하였으며 건조과정에서 crack이 생기지 않는 공정을 확립한 후 $1400^{\circ}C$ 에서 소결하였다. 제조된 지지체는 수은침투법과 3점 굽힘 강도법으로 기공율과 기계적 강도를 각각 측정하였다. Anode를 스크린 프린팅법으로 지지체 위에 적층한 후 미세구조를 확인하였고 이를 바탕으로 다공성이며 기계적 강도를 가지고 음극과의 반응이 없는 우수한 지지체를 제조할 수 있었다.

이규화몰리브덴 고온발열체의 제조공정을 개발하였다. 원료분말은 상용 MoSi$_{2}$분말이었으며 Bentonite, Si$_{3}$N$_{4}$, B, ThO$_{2}$를 각각 가소제와 첨가제로 사용하였다. 이들은 진공압출, 소결, 단자부 기계가공, U자형 성형, 용접 등의 과정을 거쳐 U자형 발열체로 제조되었다. 사용제품의 분석결과 최근 사용온도가 크게 증가된 것으로 알려진 190$0^{\circ}C$용 발열체는 다량(33wt%)의 W이 Mo을 치환하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 발열체의 전기비저항은 겉보기 밀도가 증가함에 따라 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 첨가물들의 영향은 미미하였다. 1400-1$600^{\circ}C$에서 용접한 경우 용접면에서의 전기비저항은 비용접부보다 낮았으며 용접온도가 증사함에 따라 감소하였다. 발열시험결과 제조된 발열체는 표면온도가 1$700^{\circ}C$이하에서는 문제가 없었으며 175$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 원형의 융기가 표면에 발생하면서 급속하게 파괴되었다. 이 융기는 X-선 회절분석결과 SiO로 밝혀졌으며 따라서 발열체의 파괴는 MoSi$_{2}$/SiO$_{2}$계면에서의 Si(in MoSi$_{2}$) + SiO$_{2}$=2SiO(g)반응에 으해 일어나는 것으로 판단된다.

The effects of the gel content on the cell structures of PP sheets by using an electron-curing system were investigated. Three extruded PP sheets crosslinked by three different doses were used for the batch foaming process with the supercritical state $CO_2$. Experiments were also performed in order to study the effects of the gel content, saturation pressure and temperature on cell structures. Then foaming conditions, such as temperature and duration of time, were changed. The amount of gas absorbed into PP samples was not affected by gel contents and the operating condition of saturation pressure, which was higher than 2000 psi. The foam cells of PP with a low gel content grew irregularly at a higher foaming temperature and for a longer duration of foaming time. However, PP samples with high gel content showed even cell structures and narrow tell size distributions under the severe conditions of high foaming temperatures and long duration of foaming time.

In this study, double bond, unsaturated group was introduced to the main chain of EVA by chemically treating EVA, nondiene polymer. Benzene sulfonic acid, ENB and DCPD were used as a third element. Also, from blending CR and SBR, conventional synthetic rubber we prepared vulcanizates and examined their physical properties. The datum lead to the following conclusion that some problems were modified; limited temperature in use and mechanical properties like hardness, tensile strength, tensile stress, and elongation rate of thermoplastic EVA, keeping the following advantages of original EVA; green strength, injection molding by Pressure, adhesion, tackiness, dimensional stability, and ozone resistance, etc. It is expected that continuous research of the modification between nondiene and diene polymer will improve what were shown disadvantages in synthetic polymer; processing, oxidation resistance, and adhesion. In addition, it will be possible to continue process of rubber products by utilizing possible fluidity for fusion of EVA.

The microcapsules containing triphenyl phosphate (TPP), a flame retardant, were prepared by phase-inversion emulsification technique using the epoxy resin (Novolac type) with excellent physical properties and network structure. This microencapsulation process was adopted for the protection of TPP evaporation and wetting of polymer composite during the polymer blend processing. The TPP, epoxy resin and mixed surfactants were emulsified to oil in water (O/W) by the phase inversion technology and then conducted on the crosslinking of epoxy resin by in-situ polymerization. The capsule size and size distribution of TPP capsules was controlled by mixed surfactant ratio, concentration and TPP contents, The formation and thermal property of TPP capsules were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The morphology and size of TPP capsules were also investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopies. As the surfactant concentration increased, the TPP capsules were more spherical and mono-dispersed at the same weight ratio of mixed surfactants (F127: SDBS).
