Polypropylene-natural fiber composites have been prepared and their rheological properties during mixing and thermal properties were investigated. Two types of natural fibers (cotton fiber and wood fiber) were compared. On increasing fiber contents, the torque values of composites were increased, where the cotton fiber exhibited higher increase in torques. The torque values of composites were higher as the MI of PP decreased. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry results showed an increase in the crystallization temperature but a decrease of crystallinity of the PP/natural fiber composites on increasing fiber contents.

The study conducted an experiment in which residual aggregate and polypropylene fibers are mixed in concrete, and an experiment in which granite and polypropylene fibers are mixed. Two types of experiments, in particular, changed the amount of polypropylene fibers, and examined the mechanical properties of slump, compressive strength, tensile strength and the like. To establish a light and easy-to-use material for landscape construction and packaging material development by comparing two kinds of experimental results, comparing and analyzing residual aggregate as experimental materials and materials using granite soil to prevent partial destruction due to cracks in drying shrinkage. The more the amount of the PP fibers increases in concrete, the more the volume of the PP fibers increases, the less the slump is determined. As a result of the compressive strength, the cast-down earth concrete is measured to be about 59% to 71% of the concrete strength. As the amount of PP fibers mixed in increased, the compression strength showed a relative decrease. As a result of tensile strength, it is found that the granite concrete is about 68-67% of concrete tensile strength. It was found that the compression strength decreased as the amount of PP fibers mixed in concrete or fire-gant concrete was increased. Then, when polypropylene fibers are mixed in the concrete and the concrete, it is found that tensile strength is increased. By analyzing these results, a fixed amount of PP fiber is mixed in the concrete mixed with the granite soil and utilized for various structures in the field of landscape construction or materials related to packaging, the prevention and improvement effect of the structure is determined.

폴리프로필렌(PP) 필름사는 크게 스플리트사(split yam)는 슬리트사(slit yarn)로 구분된다. 이러한 PP 필름사의 제조공정은 필름압출와 연신공정이 연속적으로 이루어져 있으며 고도로 연신되고 가공되기 때문에 전형적인 멀티필라멘트사 제조공정과 비교하여 압출공정이 간단하고 소규모로도 가능하므로 경제적이라 할 수 있다[1-3]. 스플리트사는 슬리트사 제조공정에서 연신과정에 새로이 해섬장치를 부착하여 기계적으로 슬리트된 필름사를 일정한 기하학적 구조로 미세화하여 제조한다[2]. (중략)

The effects of nano size kenaf cellulose fiber on mechanical property of polypropylene (PP) composite were investigated. The addition of nano-kenaf in place of natural kenaf showed higher tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, and heat deflection temperature compared to the natural kenaf filled PP composite, while it shows lower melt flow index, elongation%, and flexural modulus. These seemed to be due to the increased surface area of nano-kenaf fiber contacting PP matrix and reduced impurities such as volatile extractives on the fiber surface.

폴리프로필렌(PP)은 고결정성 범용수지로서 염색성, 내열성, 촉감 등의 문제로 의류용 소재로는 부적합하여 초기에는 카펫용 섬유로서 가염형 폴리프로필렌 섬유가 상업화 되었지만 성공하지는 못하였다. 그 후, 섬유 산업도 의류용 외의 산업자재, 생활 자재 분야 등이 성장함에 따라, 폴리프로필렌 섬유의 수요가 확대되었다. 최근들어 스포츠 액티브 의류가 일반의류 트렌드로 들어오면서 기능성 섬유가 요구되고 이 분위기에 맞춰 다시 한번 폴리프로필렌 섬유의 의류화가 요구되는 시점이 되었으며 섬유중 에너지 소비량이 가장 적고, 쉽게 재용해할 수 있으며 소각시 유해 가스발생량이 매우 적은 특징등이 있기 때문에 지구 환경보호의 입장에서 폴리프로필렌 섬유가 재검토되고 있다. 이번 실험은 분산염료를 이용하여 농도별, 온도별, 시간별, 후처리시 시간과 온도의 변화로 가염 PP/PET 섬유의 염색특성을 알아보기 위해 실험 진행하였다. 실험에 사용되는 시약은 1급으로, $CH_3COOH$, NaOH, $Na_2S_2O_4$이며, 조제는 분산제, 정련제를 사용하였다. 먼저 온도별 실험에서 $40^{\circ}C$에서 승온하여 각각 $100^{\circ}C$, $110^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$에서 온도에 따라 염색되는 정도를 알아보았다. 가장 높은 흡진을 보이는 온도에서 각각 40min, 50min, 60min, 70min 염색 유지시간 실험을 하여 염색이 안정되는 시간을 측정하였다. 위의 실험 결과 최적의 조건으로 염색농도에 따른 Build up 실험을 진행하였다. 가염 PP/PET 섬유는 일반 Polyester처럼 $120{\sim}130^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 염색농도 값(K/S)을 보인다. 또한 $130^{\circ}C$에서의 유지시간에서는 50 min 이상 진행시 더 이상의 흡진이 없거나, 염료의 탈락이 있음을 알수 있다. Build up 실험에서는 8.0%까지 실험하였지만, 결과는 그 이상농도를 사용하여도 염색은 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 후처리에 대한 실험에서 염료에 따라 차이가 있지만 크게 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 보이며, 제품성 평가 결과를 보면 후처리를 했을 경우 견뢰도가 우수한 것을 알 수 있었다.

폴리프로필렌(PP)은 염료와 반응할 수 있는 염착 좌석이 없기 때문에 염색이 불가능하고 열 안정성 및 광 안정성이 부족한 섬유로써 1970년대까지 의류용 섬유로 그다지 주목을 받지 못하였다. 하지만, 좋은 성능을 가진 각종 첨가제가 개발되었고, 상용성이 좋은 안료가 개발이 되면서 그런 단점들이 더 이상 문제가 되지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 안료를 사용함으로써 염색을 하는 다른 섬유들보다 일광 견뢰도 측면에서 매우 유리하고 폴리에스테르나 나일론 등에 비해 값이 싸다는 장점이 있기 때문에 적당한 용도로 전개하면 새로운 소재로의 가치가 있다.

Before studying graft polymerization of PP(polypropylene) nonwoven fabrics by electron beam preirradiation method, mechanical properties, thermal properties and degree of crystallinity of original and electron beam irradiated PP nonwoven fabrics were investigated. Morphological surface changes of electron beam irradiated PP nonwoven fabrics were not observed. And the melting temperature and crystallinity of electron beam irradiated PP nonwoven fabrics also did not change as compared with untreated PP nonwoven fabrics. But the breaking strength of electron beam irradiated PP nonwoven fabrics decreased with increasing electron beam absorbed dose due to breakdown of some parts of polymer main chain.

Interfacial evaluation and durability of Jute and Hemp fibers/polypropylene (PP) composites were investigated. Moisture content of various treated conditions were measured by thermogravimetic analyzer (TGA). After boiling water test, mechanical properties and IFSS between Jute, Hemp fibers and PP matrix decreased. On the other hand, work of adhesion increased due to swelled fibril by water. Surface energies of Jute and Hemp fibers before and after boiling water test were obtained using dynamic contact angle measurement. IFSS was not always consistent with thermodynamic work of adhesion. In boiling water case, since Jute and Hemp fibers could be swelled by water, surface area and moisture infiltration space increased. Environmental effect on microfailure modes of Jute or Hemp fibers and Jute or Hemp fibers/PP composites were obtained by observing via optical microscope and by monitoring acoustic emission (AE) events and their AE parameters. After boiling water test, unlike Hemp fiber, microfailure process of Jute fiber could occur due to low tensile strength by swelled fibril. In addition, AE events occurred more and AE amplitude and energy became lower than those of before boiling water test.

A spalling is defined as the damages of concrete exposed to high temperature during the fire by causing cracks and localized bursting of small pieces of concrete. It is reported that spalling is caused by the vapor pressure and polypropylene(PP) fiber has an important role in protecting from spalling. The characteristics of fire resistance of high-strength reinforced concrete columns with various concrete strength and various contents of PP fiber were investigated in this study. In results, the ratio of unstressed residual strength of columns increases as the concrete strength increases and the ratio of unstressed residual strength of columns exposed to fire decreases as the content of PP fiber increases from 0% to 0.2%.

In mobility industries, the use of thermoplastic composites increased dynamically. In this study, the mechanical and impregnation properties of continuous glass fiber (GF)/polypropylene (PP) composite were evaluated with different GF contents. The GF/PP commingled fiber was manufactured with different GF contents and continuous GF/PP composite was manufactured using continuous compression molding process. Tensile, flexural, and impact test of specimens were evaluated with different GF contents. The fracture behavior of specimens was proved using field emission-scanning electron microscope images of fracture area and impregnation property was evaluated using dynamic mechanical analyzer and interlaminar shear strength. Finally, the GF/PP composite was the optimized mechanical and impregnation properties using 50 wt.% GF/PP commingled fiber.
