For the purpose of development of the latex suitable for polymer cement mortar, experiments on the preparation of carboxylated styrene butadiene latex by the method of the two-step emulsion polymerization were performed. Methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid and acrylic acid were selected as carboxylic co-monomer, styrene and butadiene as monomer, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium salt of lauryl sulfonate as anionic emulsifiers, and nonylphenoxy poly (ethyleneoxy) ethanol (n=10, 20, 40) as latex stabilizer. Potassium persulfate and sodium bisulfite were also used as redox initiator, and sodium monohydrogen phosphate and potassium carbonate as electrolytes. The effects of categories and concentration of carboxylic co-monomer, molecular weight control agent, crosslinking agent, and styrene/butadiene monomer ratio on the characteristics of latex were investigated. Polymerization recipes for preparation of polymer cement mortar could be proposed. The prepared latexes were tested for the physical properties such as compressive and flexural strength when latexes were mixed with cement mortar. The results showed that the latex could be adapted to polymer cement mortar. Also, it was recognized that the compressive and flexural strength were exhibited 25.4% and 45.3% respectively higher improvement than the quality standards at 28 days curing time.

Product quality of low-fat sausages(LFSs) manufactured with two types(powder and hydrated) and two levels(0.5 and 1.0%) of Acorn powder was evaluated as a potential fat replacer. The addition of Acorn powder did not affect the product quality of LFSs (P>0.05), however 0.5% and hydrated Acorn was better sensory flavor than 1.0% and powder counterparts. The addition of Acorn into the LFSs decreased the expressible moisture(%) except for 0.5% powder type and decreased Hunter L-values in LFSs. The addition of 1.0% hydrated Acorn lowered sensory saltiness than those of other LFSs and regular-fat control. These results indicated that Acorn powder can be used to manufacture LFSs as a fat replacer and 0.5% with hydrated form had better characteristics than 1.0% and powder counterparts. Future research will be performed to prevent the color change with the addition of Arcon powder in LFSs.

This study investigates the engineering properties of the high strength concrete depending on dosages and types of shrinkage reduction agent. Test results showed that for the properties of fresh concrete, the addition of the conventional shrinkage reduction agent (SR) of 0.25% decreased slump flow up to 40% as compared with control concrete, whereas the addition of the emulsified waste cooking oil (EWCO) decreased slump flow of only 5% to 10%. Other properties of fresh concrete with the agents, namely air content, unit weight and setting time, were similar to the results of the control concrete. For the properties of hardened concrete, the compressive strength of the concrete with SR decreased at both early and later stage. However, the compressive strength of the concrete with EWCO was similar to the control concrete at early age, but decreased at later stage (up to 10% reduction at 28 days). For the effect of the agents on autogenous shrinkage of the concretes, the addition of EWCO decreased up to 33%, whereas that of SR decreased up to 29%. Hence, it can be said that the addition of EWCO in high strength concrete has an effect on reducing the autogenous shrinkage as compared with a conventional agent and only slight influence on the slump flow and air content of concrete. By taking all aspects of using EWCO, it is concluded that the optimum content of EWCO will be in the range of between 0.5% and 0.75%.

기능성 아웃도어 제품을 제조하기 위해서 사용되어지는 멤브레인은 크게 미세다공형과 친수무공형으로 구분할 수 있다. 최근에는 소비자들이 기능성 아웃도어에 쾌적성을 요구하고 있으며, 그 측면에서 본다면 미세다공형 멤브레인이 친수무공형보다 유리하다. 기존의 미세다공형 멤브레인은 고가이며, casting이 불가능한 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자구조 및 유화제 첨가에 따른 casting이 가능한 미세다공형 폴리우레탄 멤브레인의 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. Casting용 미세다공형 폴리우레탄은 soft segment와 hard segment의 비가 1/2일 때, 그리고 사용되는 용제가 MEK 단독일 때 안정적인 반응성과 이상적인 필름의 물성을 보이는 것을 확인 하였으며, 수지에 첨가되는 분산유화제의 양이 10%이상일 때 상분리 현상이 발생하지 않음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 개발된 수지의 적용성을 평가한 결과, J-knife를 이용하여 knife over roll 방식으로 25~35$g/m^2$ (dry add on)를 도포하여 $80/120/140^{\circ}C{\times}10m/min$의 다단건조 공정으로 진행했을 때 최적의 물성을 얻을 수 있었다.

Empty cross-linked chitosan microcapsule was prepared by chemical cross-linking reaction using glutaraldehyde(GA). Chitosan bead was also prepared by coacervation method using sodium hydroxide. The technique involves the formation of a chitosan solution in the discontinuous phase of W/O emulsion. The factors influencing the emulsion stability have been examined to establish optimum conditions Chitosan microcapsules were useful for encapsulation of biological materials, and chitosan bead was useful to prepare the biologically active peptide-bound polysaccharide. As a model compound Gly-His-Lys, cell growth factor, was successfully coupled to chitosan bead.

In this study, the characteristics of emulsified fuel were studied. The emulsified fuel which was composed of water and diesel was manufactured by using homogenizer and ultrasonic generator. The more the percentage of water contents increases, the more the density increases to the emulsified fuel. However, the viscosity increased in the 60% of water contents and decreased in the 70% of water contents because the O/W type was formed. The 3 minutes's ultrasonic waves during the irradiation time was appropriate of 16,000 rpm. And the energy density of ultrasonic waves was 87.5J/g. The emulsion stability has improved in the lower temperature, the lower percentage of water contents, and the most stable emulsion state was obtained from 20%(w/w) of water contents. Also, the emulsion stability was related to the HLB values of emulsifiers. Especially, the HLB values of emulsifier were appropriate from 4 to 7 values.

Phase separation is the typical phenomenon in protein-polysaccharide mixtures because of thermodynamic incompatibility between two macromolecules. Phase separations of casein-alginate-water systems were investigated by using phase diagram under varying pH (6, 8 and 10) and NaCl concentrations (0, 0.25 and 0.5 M). Incompatibility decreased with increasing pH and decreasing NaCl concentration. Molecular weight of alginates did not significantly affect the phase diagram of casein-alginate-water systems. The results strongly suggested that compatibility of casein and alginate involved electrostatic interactions.

The conducting composites were prepared by emulsion polymerization with poly (acrylonitrile-co-butadiene) (NBR) as a matrix and polypyrrole (PPY) as a conducting polymer. Among several surfactants, the electrical conductivity of the composite which was polymerized by dodecyl sodium sulfate (DSS) was the best. The film of composite was prepared by compression molding. The electrical conductivity was measured by 4 probes method as a function of PPY and temperature. When the content of PPY was 25 wt%, the electrical conductivity of composite was increased up to 1.17 S/cm. The percolation threshold showed at the vicinity of 15 wt% PPY content.

Cellolose nanoparticles loaded with retinyl palmitate were prepared by modified spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion method. We used polysorbate 20, polysorbate 60, and PPG-26-Buteth-26/PEG-40 Hydrogenated castor oil as dispersion medium. The optimum condition for particle size of cellulose nanoparticles was 1w/v% ethyl cellulose with, 3w/v% polysorbate 60 solution. And The optimum condition for leading amount of retinyl palmitate of cellulose nanoparticles was 2w/v% ethyl cellulose with 1w/v% polysorbate 60 solution. Also, we found that this optimum condition can be applicable to other active compounds.

The properties of polystyrene and styrenic copolymer nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes (CNT) and nanoclays were studied. Polystyrene and styrenic copolymer containing styrene and vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride (SVTAC) were synthesized by emulsion polymerization. Polystyrene/CNT/clay and SVTAC/CNT/clay nanocomposites with various concentrations of CNT and different types of clay were prepared via mixing of polystyrene emulsion and clay. SVTAC/CNT nanocomposites showed a better electrical conductivity than PS/CNT nanocomposites. Nanocomposites with more surfactant during polymerization showed a better electrical conductivity than the ones with less surfactant. These indicated the positive effect of comonomer and surfactant on the electrical conductivity. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to analyze the state of CNT dispersion. TEM results showed that CNT loading, comonomer composition and amount of surfactant affected the final dispersion of CNT in nanocomposites. In order to confirm the effects of CNT loading, comonomer composition and the amount of surfactant on the thermal and dynamic mechanical properties, DSC and DMA analyses were conducted.
