Composites of styrene polymers with woody fibers were prepared, and the effect of compatibilizers on their mechanical properties was evaluated. To improve the compatibility of wood fibers and the matrix polymers, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer(SMA) and maleic anhydride-modified polymers were used as compatibilizers. As results, maleic anhydride-modified polystyrene and SMA were proved to improve the tensile strength of the molded composites, and also were evaluated as good compatibilizers for the wood fiber polystyrene composite. Cellulosic fiber (dissolving pulp) provided better reinforcement than lignocellulosic fiber(thermomechanical pulp). On the contrary in the case of the composite of wood fiber and acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene copolymer(ABS), SMA and maleic anhydride-modified acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer(MABS) did not act as compatibilizers. However, MABS was evaluated as a good polymer matrix to make wood fiber reinforced composite. The tensile properties of the composites of wood fiber and MABS were superior than those of wood fiber-ABS composites.

A hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) is one of the hazardous substances regulated by the RoHS. The determination of Cr (VI) in various polymers and printed circuit board (PCB) has been very important. In this study, the three different analytical methods were investigated for the determination of a hexavalent chromium in Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene copolymer (ABS) and PCB. The results by three analytical methods were obtained and compared. An analytical method by UV-Visible spectrometer has been generally used for the determination of Cr (VI) in a sample, but a hexavalent chromium should complex with diphenylcarbazide for the detection in the method. The complexation did make an adverse effect on the quantitative analysis of Cr (VI) in ABS. The analytical method using diphenylcarbazide was also not applicable to printed circuit board (PCB) because PCB contained lots of irons. The irons interfered with the analysis of hexavalent chromium because those also could complex with diphenylcarbazide. In this study, hexavalent chromiums in PCB have been separated by ion chromatography (IC), then directly and selectively detected by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The quantity of Cr (VI) in PCB was 0.1 mg/kg.

Creep characteristic is an important failure mechanism when evaluating engineering materials that are soft material as polymers or used as mechanical elements at high temperatures. One of the popular thermo-plastic polymers, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) which is used broadly for machine elements material, as it has excellent mechanical properties such as impact resistance, toughness and stiffness compared to other polymers, was studied for creep characteristic at different levels of stress and temperatures. From the experimental results, the creep limit of ABS at room temperature is 80 % of tensile strength which is higher than PE and lower than PC or PMMA. Also the creep limits decreased to linearly as the temperatures increased, up to $80^{\circ}C$ which is the softening temperature of Butadiene ($82^{\circ}C$). Also the secondary stage of creep among the three creep stages for different levels of stress and temperature was non-existent which occurred for many metals by strain hardening effect.

Polypropylene(PP : 연속상)/poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile)(SAN : 분산상), 그리고 PP/poly (acronitrile-butadiene-styrene)(ABS : 분산상)블렌드를 혼합 조성, shear rate, 그리고 상용화제(PP-SAN copolymer)의 첨가량을 변화시켜가면서 이축압출기를 통해 제조하였다. 압출공정시 PP/SAN 블렌드에서 SAN을 0에서 40 wt%로 첨가함에 따라 분산상의 크기가 증가하였으며, 굴곡강도와 인장강도는 하락하는 경향을 나타내었다. 스크류의 속도가 10에서 60 rpm으로 증가됨에 따라 분산상의 크기가 감소하였고, 굴곡강도와 인장강도는 상승하였다. 상용화제가 5 phr 첨가된 PP/SAN 블렌드에서 최대의 기계적 물성값과 최소의 분산상 크기를 나타내었다. 상용화제가 첨가됨에 따라, PP/ABS 블렌드의 굴곡강도와 인장강도가 증가되었고, 상용화제가 5 phr 첨가되었을 때 굴곡강도 및 인장강도가 최고값을 나타내었다.

The effects of a compatibilizer on polypropylene (PP)/poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) blends were studied. Blends of the PP/ABS, with PP-g-SAN copolymer as a compatibilizer, were prepared using a twin screw extruder. The flexural and impact strength of the PP/ABS blends with the PP-g-SAN copolymer increased significantly with PP-rich compositions on the addition of the PP-g-SAN copolymer at 3 phr. The increase in the mechanical properties of the PP/ABS/PP-g-SAN blend may have been due to the toughening effects of the ABS in the PP-rich compositions. In the morphology study of the PP/ABS/PP-g-SAN (80/20) blend with the PP-g-SAN copolymer, the minimum droplet size, $5.1{\mu}m$, was observed with the addition on phr of the PP-g-SAN copolymer. The complex viscosity of the PP/ABS/PP-g-SAN (80/20) blends increased with the addition of3 phr of the PP-g-SAN copolymer. From the above mechanical properties, morphology and complex viscosity results for the PP/ABS blends, it is suggested that the compatibility is more increased with the PP-rich composition (PP:ABS=80/20 wt%) of the PP/ABS blend on the addition of 3 phr of the PP-g-SAN copolymer.

Polybutadiene latex grafted (g-PB) in g-PB/SAN blends, i.e., acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS) were partially replaced by acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer (NBR) with various acrylonitrile (AN) contents. Changes in morphology, physical and rheological properties were examined. The dispersed size of NBR was decreased as the miscibility with matrix SAM, was increased by increasing AN content in NBR upto 50 wt%. Impact strength was enhanced about two-fold due to the NBR dispersed with a slight larger size than the original g-PB. Gloss was effectively reduced as the particle size of NBR was increased. Tensile yield strength was decreased, and elongation at break or yield behavior at low shear rate were increased as g-PB was partially replaced by NBR having AN content less that 40 wt%.

This paper describes the results of electrical characteristics assessment for organic insulations of polyethylene(PE) series insulations and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer(ABS). In the experiment, 4 kinds of specimens by composition density were tested in relative permittivity, specific resistance and tracking duration. A WinDETA system and a tracking test set manufactured for this assessment were used to measure the dielectric parameters and tracking duration, respectively. In measuring the tracking duration, the time from testing voltage application to testing circuit breaking due to the tracking current was measured. As a result, dielectric dispersion was observed in measuring the relative permittivity of ABS. It was confirmed that the relative permittivity decreased with the density of the PE series insulations and it depends rather on the temperature than frequency. In most specimens, specific resistance exponentially decreased with frequency and the result for each specimen was almost similar. By the way, in the tracking test, all the PE series insulations showed more excellent performance than ABS and especially in the case of HDPE, its tracking withstand performance was the best.

A novel nitrogen-phosphorus compound, diphenyl piperazine-1,4-diylbis(methylphosphinate)(DPPMP) was synthesized via a two step reaction and its flame retarding efficiency as a single component additive was investigated. The success of synthesis was confirmed by FTIR and $^1H$ and $^{31}P$ NMR analysis. The product was mixed with polycarbonate (PC), poly(butylene terephtalate) (PBT), ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymer (EVA), and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS). The flame-retarding efficiency was evaluated using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and the UL-94 vertical test methods. The addition of DPPMP enhanced the flame retardancy of the polymers and the V-0 ratings were obtained for the polymers examined in this study at a loading of 7-30 wt%. The gas-phase flame retardancy mode of action was suggested for this material from the thermogrametry experiment results.

폴리(알킬아크릴레이트-g-카프로락톤) 그라프트 공중합체를 합성하였으며, 이것을 폴리카보네이트(PC)/폴리(아크릴로니트릴-부타디엔-스티렌)(ABS) 블렌드의 상용화제로 사용하였다. PC나 ABS와 비상용성인 폴리 알킬아크릴 레이트 주사슬을 갖는 그라프트 공중합체를 사용하였으며 이것을 PC/ABS의 계면에 위치시키는 것을 목표로 하였다. 그라프트 공중합체를 1중량부 포함하는 블렌드물은 충격 강도는 물론 파단 인장 강도에서 아주 향상된 값을 보였으며, 1/8인치 시편에서의 충격 강도 향상이 두드러졌다. 전자현미경에 의한 형태학적인 분석 결과 그라프트 공중합체의 존재가 좀더 매끄러운 PC/ABS 계면을 형성하게 하는 것으로 나타났다.
