Laser transmission welding of polymers is now used in a very wide range of industries due to its advantages. If the joining between polypropylene (PP) and polycarbonate (PC) occurs by laser transmission welding, the automotive headlight will get a large profit. However, PP/PC have poor miscibility. In the laser transmission welding results, the adhesion strength between PP and PC was very weak. In this study, PP was modified by grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The adhesion strength of PC and PP-g-GMA as a reactive compatibilizer was observed. The adhesion strength was investigated by compatibility with PC, mechanical properties and laser transmission welding.

We synthesized low molecular-weight polymers bearing hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts in a chain through $CO_2$/propylene oxide copolymerization. When hydrophilic poly (ethylene glycol) bearing -OH group (s) at the end group (s) was added as a chain transfer agent in the $CO_2$/propylene oxide copolymerization catalyzed by a highly active catalyst, block polymers were formed. If poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) bearing -OH group only at an end was fed, PEG-block-PPC diblock copolymer was obtained. When PEG bearing -OH group at both ends was fed, PPC-block-PEG-block-PPC triblock copolymer was obtained. We confirmed formation of block copolymers by $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy and GPC studies.

폴리프로필렌(PP)/폴리카보네이트(PC) 블렌드의 유변학적 고찰을 통해 블렌드의 수 축현상과 분상상의 변형의 연관성을 연구했다. 블렌드의 수축현상은 압축과정에서 변형됐던 분산상이 고온에서 다시 원래의 무변형 상태로 복귀하면서 나타나는 탄성변형의 풀림으로 추정되고 압출팽윤의 데이터와도 부합된다. 압출온도를 최대한 낮게 해서(25$0^{\circ}C$) 제조한 블 렌드의 경우가 최대한 높게 한 경우 (29$0^{\circ}C$)보다 수축이더 큰 사실을 설명하기 위하여 순수 PC와 PP의 전단점도비와 신장점도비를 측정 비교한 결과 두 값이 공히 높은 온도의 경우 가 오히려 작게 되어 점성에 의한 분산상의 전단변형이나 신장변형이 수축의 원인이 아니라 는 것을 알아다. 한편 법선응력과 전단응력의 데이터로부터 얻은 물질풀림시간의 비는 낮은 온도의 경우가 작아서 수축현상이 분산상의 탄성에 의한 변형이라는 것을 확인했다.

In order to apply eco-friendly poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) into barrier packaging materials, six different PPC/exfoliated graphite (EFG) nanocomposite films with different EFG were successfully prepared by a solution blending method. Their water sorption behavior was gravimetrically investigated as a function of the EFG content and interpreted with respect to their chemical structure and morphology. The water sorption isotherms were reasonably well fitted by Fickian diffusion model, regardless of morphological heterogeneities. With increasing the EFG content, the diffusion coefficient and water uptake decreased from $12.5{\times}10^{-10}cm^2sec^{-1}$ to $7.2{\times}10^{-10}cm^2sec^{-1}$ and from 8.9 wt% to 4.2 wt%, respectively, which indicates that the moisture resistance capacity of PPC was greatly enhanced by incorporating EFG into PPC. The enhanced water barrier property of the PPC/EFG nanocomposite films with the high aspect ratio EFG makes them potential candidates for versatile packaging applications. However, to maximize the performance of the nanocomposite films, further researches are required to increase the compatibility of EFG in the PPC matrix.

Terpolymer polymerized carbon monoxide, ethylene and propylene as monomer, Polyketone is low-cost material compared with general engineering plastics such as polyamide, polyester, polycarbonate. Moreover, it is excellent in mechanical properties, chemical resistance, fuel permeability and abrasion resistance. So, it is attracted attention as the environmental friendly material to replace conventional engineering plastics. In this study, has been prepared Polyketone/Rubber (Ethylene propylene copolymer, Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, Ethylene acrylic rubber) blends to improve heat resistance and investigated characteristic behavior after heat/oil aging.

Epoxy resin has the disadvantage of being easily destroyed by instantaneous impact due to its high crosslinking density despite its high glass transition temperature (T_g) and excellent properties. To compensate for this, in this study, polyol was synthesized by ring opening polymerization of propylene glycol (PPG) diamine, Jeffamine D 2000 and propylene carbonate, and urethane modified epoxy was synthesized using this. The properties of the synthesized urethane modified epoxy were confirmed by FT-IR, H-NMR. To confirm the degree of improvement in impact resistance as an adhesive, a urethane modified epoxy adhesive was prepared by mixing a digylcidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA) with curing agent and curing accelerator. Properties test of urethane modified epoxy were shear strength, tensile strength and impact strength. As a result, excellent results were obtained in all test when the ratio of DGEBA : urethane modified epoxy was 8:2.

In this study, the combustibility of five types of plastic plates, fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), were tested using a cone calorimeter (ISO 5660). The PVC plate showed a $44.65kW/m^2$ lower peak heat release rate (HRR) and a $30.97kW/m^2$ lower maximum average rate of heat emission than the other four types of plastics, whereas the PS plate showed a $773.44kW/m^2$ higher peak HRR and $399.14kW/m^2$ higher maximum average rate of heat emission. The PC plate and PS plate showed the highest HRR by a maximum of 3.88 times in $CO_{mean}$ yields, while the PS pate and PP plate showed the highest HRR by a maximum 4.88 times in $CO_{2mean}$ yields. In addition, the smoke performance index (SPI) of the PS plate decreased by 74.81%~95.99%; the smoke growth index (SGI) increased to 76%~300%; the smoke intensity (SI) also increased to 917.73% ~ 9607.57%, and the danger of smoke increased. The PS plate was found to have the highest risk of life damage due to smoke on the thermal and smoke sides.
