For $CO_2-free$ hydrogen production and better utilization of the produced carbon, catalytic decomposition of methane over rubber-grade carbon blacks manufactured from coal tar was carried out. The catalytic activities of several domestic carbon blacks were compared. A pelletized carbon black exhibited considerably lower activity and activation energy than the fluffy( loose) carbon black of the same grade. This difference is considered due to the binder that was added during pelletization. For pelletized carbon blacks, a tendency was observed that the activity per unit mass of catalyst increased with the specific surface area of the carbon black. Another tendency was also observed that the activation energy increased with the primary particle size or decrease of the specific surface area.

최근 자동차용 휘발유에 메탄올을 불법 혼합시켜 유통시키는 사례가 빈번히 적발되고 있다. 정상적인 연료에 알코올이 불법 혼합될 경우, 장치 내 고무류와 금속류를 부식시키며, 독성가스인 알데하이드를 배출시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한 에탄올의 경우 흡습성이 높아 자체적으로 수분을 생성시킬 수 있으며 정상 휘발유보다 증기압이 높기 때문에 밀폐공간에서 화재 및 질식의 위험이 있을 수 있다. 현재 휘발유 내에 알코올 성분을 분석하기 위한 분석법으로는 Gas Chromatography가 이용되고 있으나 고가의 장비와 긴 분석시간으로 인해서 유사석유의 판별여부가 효율적으로 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학절 식별제인 크롬산($CrO_3$)을 이용하여 휘발유 내 알코올 성분을 정성 정량 분석하였다. 환원된 3가 크롬은 용액상에서 붉은색을 나타내므로 육안으로도 알코올의 존재여부를 간단히 확인할 수 있으며, UV-Vis Spectrophotometry를 통해 휘발유 내 알코올의 농도에 따라 흡광도값이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

당협회에서는 금년도에도 교통부, 치안본부, 한국도로공사의 후원으로 4차에 걸쳐 고속도로상의 휴게소에서 무료 타이어 점검 및 서비스를 실시하였다. 금년도의 점검결과도 작년도와 별차업이 타이어 정비불량이 무려 46%에 달하였으며, 차종별로는 트럭이 52%로서 가장 불량하였다. 정비불량항목으로는 과마모가 제일 많아 39%를 점유하고 있었다. 특히 관광버스에는 재생타이어를 끼고 고속도로를 운행하고 있는 것이 26%나 되었고 그 중에는 트레드고무가 벗겨져서 사고 직전의 것도 있었다. 또한 트럭에서는 겨울철 눈올 때에만 끼도록 되어 있는 스노타이어를 봄, 여름, 가을까지 계속 사용하고 있는 차량이 9%나 되어 타이어 사고의 위험이 많았다.

Methylene diisocyanate (MDI) was investigated as a novel interfacial modifier to enhance the performances of poly(methyl methacrylate)-modified starch/styrene-butadiene rubber (PMMA-modified starch/SBR) composites. Owing to the formation urethane linkage on one side and ${\pi}-{\pi}$ adhesion on the other side, MDI acted as an intermediated linkage role in the PMMA-modified starch/SBR interfaces, which was evidenced by the morphological, mechanical, dynamic mechanical and thermal decomposition studies. As a result, the presence of MDI significantly improved the mechanical properties and thermal stability of PMMA-modified starch/SBR composites. In addition, the effect of starch concentration on the various performances of the resulted MDI/PMMA-modified starch/SBR composites, such as morphology, vulcanization characteristics, mechanical properties, toluene swelling behavior, and thermal stability were investigated and discussed in detail. The obtained MDI/PMMA-modified starch/SBR composites exhibited superior mechanical properties to carbon black/SBR (CB/SBR) composites, demonstrating the potential use of the renewable starch as a substitute for CB in the rubber compounds.

Automotive sub-mat carpet for convenience and comfort of floor administration is additional supplemented floor mat. Sub Mat Backing of the current vehicle's materials reclaimed rubber, PVC, etc. are used, but secondary rubber and PVC Backing have bad sound absorption. Also rubber is heavy too. Contact surfaces between PET staple fiber, PET non-woven, PVC backing and car's floor carpet was measured the coefficient of friction for each sub-mat's non-slip evaluation. A surface of PET non-woven sub-mat has the highest coefficient of friction. Each of sample was observed by optical microscope the contact surfaces before and after. Contact surfaces of PET staple fiber sub-mat was changed increasingly to non-woven. This fact is shown that the sub-mat would be tangled between its contact surface and top of the floor carpet. It is expected to be highly non-slip. In case of PET non-woven sub-mat had not different for contact surfaces between before and after. And PVC backing was shown lower non-slip than other samples. The result of optical microscope and coefficient of friction is seems to be related.

This study focused on the recycling technology and application of waste polyurethane scrap($5{\sim}7mm$) and waste urethane form from the footware scrap. Firstly we suggest the waste polyurethane can be used as a component of medium for hydroponic rose culture. Secondly, recycled thermoplastic polyurethane(RTPU) was produced and blended it with high impact polystyrene(HIPS). And also, in order to extend application of recycling field, the former was produced with adding the amine foaming agent to RTPU/HIPS alloy. The main purpose of this study is to diverse of the recycling of the waste polyurethane.

Waste EPDM(W-EPDM) collected from the automotive weather strip and the gasket of a laundry machine has not been effectively recycled. Using this W-EPDM powder and other ingredients, i.e., binder(polyolefin resin, polyolefin elastomer, etc.), filler and additives, various economic rubber composites were made by extrusion. In advance of main experiments, the effects of ultrasonic treatment of W-EPDM on the property of rubber composites, comparison in the property of the composites of W-EPDM with those of virgin and devulcanized EPDM, and waste tire rubber were investigated. Also, the properties of the rubber composites extruded with a 12-screw extruder were compared with those extruded with twin-screw extruder. Various W-EPDM composites for synthetic turf filler and car mat were extruded and injection molded, and 3 main properties of tensile strength, elongation and hardness were investigated to develop economical and proper recipes of the rubber composites.

This study conducted the Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) on waste rubber recycling technology for recovering rubber product from the waste tires. Environmental impacts were assessed for the five categories of impacts: global warming, resource depletion, acidification, eutrophication, photochemical oxide production, and ozone layer depletion. When recycling 1ton of waste tire containing rubber, global warming impact was 1.77E+02 kg $CO_2-eq.$, resource depletion impact was 1.23E+00 kg Sb-eq., acidification impact was 5.92E-01 kg $SO_2-eq.$, eutrophication impact was 1.23E-01 kg $PO{_4}^{3-}-eq.$, photochemical oxide production impact was 3.42E-01 kg $C_2H_4-eq.$, and ozone layer depletion impact was 1.87E-04 kg CFC11-eq. In terms of overall environmental impacts, carbon, softener and electricity the greatest impact, so it is necessary to compare the environmental impacts of the raw materials to replace carbon and softener, and a method to reduce the filler usage in the process is needed. In addition, it is necessary to improve energy efficiency, change to low-energy sources, and apply renewable energy.

에탄올은 금속, 고무 수지를 부식시키고 열화시키기 때문에 FFV 등 알코올 대응차량이 아닌 경우 에탄올 허용도가 제한되고 있으며, 물과의 상호용해성과 흡습성으로 수분혼입에 의한 상분리가 발생하여 혼합가솔린의 유통에서의 취급에 어려움이 야기되고 있다. 또한, 에탄올은 가솔린과 혼합되면 공비현상으로 인하여 50% 유출온도가 크게 떨어지고 증기압이 7kPa 정도 상승을 초래하는 점도 간과하지 않을 수 없다. 따라서, 자동차용휘발유에 에탄올을 혼입하여 사용할 경우, 가솔린기재를 적절히 선택하여 적정품질을 유지하여야 하며 무엇보다도 에탄을 혼입농도에 따른 저장탱크와 주유기 등의 부품에의 영향과 저장시의 상분리 문제를 충분히 규명하여 유통인프라에서의 적절한 대응책이 마련되어져야 한다. 유통 인프라 대응을 위해서는 우선 생산단계에서 수분 혼입을 최소화하기 위하여 저유소의 출하지점에서 서브옥탄가솔린과 에탄올을 라인브랜딩에 의해 제조하는 방법이 가장 타당하며, 수송부문에서는 탱크로리 등의 공급라인인 파이프와 실링 재질 등에 대해서 면밀한 검토가 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 주유소에서의 대응은 에탄을 혼합연료와 직접 접촉하는 연료계 등 부품재질을 내부식성의 재질로 변환시켜야 하며, 수분혼입을 최소화하기 위한 이중탱크 설치, 지하탱크 환기구내의 대기벨브 설치 등이 필요하며, 기타, 품질 및 수분관리 대책 등도 마련되어야 할 것이다.
