The purpose of this study was to investigate the physico-mechanical properties and characteristics on reduction of formaldehyde and total volatile organic compound (TVOC) emission from particleboard (PB) with added volcanic pozzolan. Pozzolan was added as a scavenger at the level of 1, 3, 5, and 10 wt.% of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin for PB manufacture. The moisture content, density, thickness swelling, water absorption and physical properties of PBs were examined. Three-point bending strength and internal bond strength were determined using a universal testing machine. Formaldehyde and TVOC were determined by desiccator and 20L small chamber methods. With increasing pozzolan content the physical and mechanical properties of the PBs were not significantly changed, but formaldehyde and TVOC emissions were decreased. Because pozzolan has a rough and irregular surface with porous form, it can be used as a scavenger for PBs at a content up to 10 wt.% without any detrimental effect on the physical and mechanical properties.

본 연구에서는 천연 섬유와 matrix간의 결합에 불리하게 작용하는 wax, lignin, hemicellulose 등을 제거하기 위한 방법 중 하나인 NaOH를 이용한 천연섬유의 알칼리 처리가 Kenaf 장섬유/PP 혼합 바이오복합재 제조 시 계적인 물성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. Kenaf 장섬유의 적절한 배합비와 알칼리처리를 통한 최적의 바이오복합재를 제조하기 위하여 알칼리 처리 시의 농도와 kenaf fiber의 함유량을 달리하여 각 처리조건에 따른 바이오복합재의 특성을 조사하였다. 알칼리 처리를 통한 계면 결합의 증가를 확인하기 위하여 SEM을 이용하여 복합재의 단면을 확인하였다. 그 결과 알칼리 처리가 3% 농도부터 계면 결합이 증가하고, 5%일 때의 최고의 계면 결합력을 보였다. 하지만 기계적 강도에서는 알칼리 농도 3% 처리한 것이 최적이었으며 kenaf fiber가 30% 함유된 PP/kenaf섬유 바이오복합재가 높은 강도를 나타내었다.

광원경화형 소재는 UV, 가시광선 등에 의해 반응하여 분자간의 가교가 일어나고 이러한 가교반응에 의해 물성이 제어되는 소재를 의미한다. 광원경화거동과정에서 수축현상이 발생하게 되는데 이때 발생하는 수축현상으로 인해 재료의 구조가 변하고 내부의 응력이 발생하는 현상 등의 문제가 발생한다. 열경화에 의한 수축현상을 분석하는 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔으나 광원경화에 대한 수축현상을 연구하는 분야는 현재 경화 수준이나 경화속도 등을 분석하는데 그치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수축률 측정기를 통해 광원경화에 대한 수축현상을 실시간으로 살펴보고 재료의 차이에 따른 경화거동과 수축현상의 차이를 살펴보고자 한다. 관능기의 숫자가 변화함에 따라 수축률과 수축 속도의 변화가 생겼으며 분자량의 사슬길이에 따라 수축정도의 차이가 발생했다. 이러한 결과가 이론적인 결과 값인 양의 상관관계와는 반대로 음의 상관관계를 가짐을 분석하였다. 이는 수축률이 단순히 분자량과 관능기 숫자에 따라 결정되는 것이 아니라 분자구조에 따른 혼합물 내에서의 유동성 등에도 영향을 받음을 확인 할 수 있는 결과이다.

The surface modification of microfibriled cellulose (MFC) was carried out through the hydrolysis-condensation reaction using (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APS) and 3-glycidyloxypropyltriethoxysilane (GPS) and then the modified cellulose was compounded with bio-degradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Also, pristine MFC was compounded with PLA as a control groups. The confirmation of surface modification for the pristine MFC was characterized by FT-IR and SEM/EDX. The thermal and mechanical properties of the PLA/MFC composites depended on the content of MFC and the type of silane coupling agents. From the thermal, morphological and mechanical behaviors of the PLA/MFC composites, it was found that GPS-MFC was more successful to improve the interface adhesion between PLA matrix and the surface of MFC than that of APS-MFC.

The role of nano bio-composites precursor to chitosan are innumerable and are known for having different applications in various branches of physical sciences. The application to the sensor development is relatively new, where only few literature works are available to address the specific and critical analysis of nanocomposites in the subject area. The bio-composites are potential and having greater affinity towards the heavy metals and several micro-pollutants hence, perhaps are having wider implications in the low or even trace level detection of the pollutants. The nano-composites could show good selectivity and suitability for the detection of the pollutants as they are found in the complex matrix. However, the greater challenges are associated using the bio-composites, since the biomaterials are prone to be oxidized or reduced at an applied potential and found to be a hinderance for the detection of target pollutants. In addition, the materials could proceed with a series of electrochemical reactions, which could produce different by-products in analytical applications, resulting in several complex phenomena in electrochemical processes. Therefore, this review addresses critically various aspects of an evaluation of nano bio-composite materials in the electrochemical detection of heavy metals and micro-pollutants from aqueous solutions.

In the current study explain about the bio-based composites made by groundnut shell as reinforcement with polyester resin matrix. Groundnut shell is an abundantly available natural waste byproduct and poly ester resin is widely used to fabricate of composites for good balance of mechanical properties because it is relatively low price and ease of handling. Evaluate the mechanical properties of manufactured groundnut shell/polyester composites by varying the amounts (wt %) of groundnut shell. Particulate shell reinforced polyester composites incorporating varying amounts of groundnut shell (5, 10, 15 and 20%) were characterized for their tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength. The mechanical properties improved with increasing particle loading up to 15% and decreased thereafter. Increasing in strength with increased particle shell loading was attributed to increase in surface area which enhanced load transfer between the polyester matrix and ground shall particulates. Scanning electron microscopic studies have been carried out to study the morphology of the composite. Thermal studies and water absorption properties of the composites also studied in this paper.

Natural fiber henequen/unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites were fabricated by means of a compression molding technique using chopped henequen fibers treated at various electron beam (EB) dosages. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS), dynamic mechanical properties, and thermal expansion behavior were investigated through a single fiber microbonding test, fractographic observation, dynamic mechanical analysis, and thermomechanical analysis, respectively. The results indicated that the interfacial and dynamic mechanical properties significantly depended on the level of the EB treatment irradiated onto the henequen fiber surfaces. The effect of EB treatment on the IFSS, storage modulus and fracture surface of the henequen/UPE composites agreed with each other. The results of this study also suggested that the modification of henequen fiber surfaces at 10 kGy EB is the most effective for improving the interfacial properties of the henequen/UPE composites.

The mechanical and dynamic properties according to the content of filler, plasticizer, and crosslinking agent of rubber composites for Lipseal were measured in this study. The mechanical properties of the composite including the silane coupling agent and silica were found to be superior to those of the composite containing carbon black. It was found that the rebound resilience characteristics were influenced by the crosslink density of sulfur rather than the filler or plasticizer. In the case of recovery, it was confirmed that the elastic restoring force improved in the compression deformation condition and recovery increased as the crosslinking density increased. The rubber composite for Lipseal of this study is expected to improve the manufacturing technology of the rubber composite which can implement the optimum function for recognizing the performance such as oil resistance, durability and compression set.

자외선 경화형 도료는 기계적 물성과 내화학성, 내마모성 등이 우수하고, 빠른 경화시간으로 경제성이 우수하며, 휘발성유기용제의 양을 줄일 수 있어 환경친화적이기 때문에 다양한 산업분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이에 반해, 유연성이 떨어지는 도막을 형성하기 때문에 최근 활발히 연구되고 있는 선도장 후성형의 pre-coated metal용 도료로 사용하는 데 문제점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 polycarbonate diol, isophorone diisocyanate와 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate를 이용해 polyurethane methacrylate를 합성하여 성형 시 필요한 유연성을 향상시켜 선도장 강판용 도료의 적용 가능성을 살펴보았다. 또한, 폴리올의 분자량, 광개시제의 함량, 모노머의 함량이 경화거동, 유연성, 도막물성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. Photo-DSC를 이용하여 광경화 거동을 살펴보았고, 진자경도, 인장강도, 점탄성을 측정하여 경화도막의 유연성 및 도막물성을 평가하였다.

UV-curable acrylic Pressure-sensitive adhesives (Acrylic PSAs) are used in many different parts in the world. A wafer manufacture process which is based on semiconductor industry is one thing. We have used acrylic PSAs whose thickness is different from $20{\mu}m$ to $30{\mu}m$ in wafer manufacture process so far. But as wafers become more thinner, acrylic PSAs are supposed to satisfy the requirements such as proper adhesion performance. The main purpose of this research is studying proper adhesion performance and UV-curing behavior of UV-curable acrylic PSAs with very thin thickness and then determining optimized conditions to raise the efficiency of thin wafer production. Acrylic PSAs contain 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA), Acrylic Acid (AA) and Butyl Acrylate (BA). Ethyl acetate (EtAc) is used as solvent. The acrylic PSAs are obtained using solvent polymerization. Thickness of UV-curable acrylic PSAs is different from $10{\sim}30{\mu}m$. By peel strength and probe tack, adhesion performance and UV curing behavior of acrylic PSA are concerned.
