Biodegradable epoxy (B-epoxy) was prepared from diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and epoxidized linseed oil. The mechanical properties of B-epoxy composites reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/B-epoxy) were examined by employing dynamic mechanical analysis, critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$) tests, and impact strength tests. The electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) of the composites was evaluated using reflection and absorption methods. Mechanical properties of MWCNTs/B-epoxy were enhanced with an increase in the MWCNT content, whereas they deteriorated when the MWCNT content was >5 parts per hundred resin (phr). This can likely be attributed to the entanglement of MWCNTs with each other in the B-epoxy due to the presence of an excess amount of MWCNTs. The highest EMI-SE obtained was ~16 dB for the MWCNTs/B-epoxy composites with a MWCNT content of 13 phr at 1.4 GHz. The composites (13 phr) exhibited the minimum EMI-SE (90%) when used as shielding materials at 1.4 GHz. The EMI-SE of the MWCNTs/B-epoxy also increased with an increase in the MWCNT content, which is a key factor affecting the EMI-SE.

Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) were modified with epoxy and aminosilane diethanolamine (DEA), and nanocomposites of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and the modified MWCNTs were prepared with the aim of improving the physical properties of biodegradable PBAT. The physical and the thermal properties of the PBAT/MWCNT nanocomposites were investigated using various techniques. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements revealed that the MWCNTs were efficiently modified with DEA. Scanning electron micrographs of the nanocomposites indicated that the modified MWCNTs were dispersed homogeneously in PBAT. The thermal stability of the nanocomposite decreased with increase in the content of epoxy-MWCNT-DEA due to the poor thermal stabilities of epoxy and amino silane DEA. However, the surface hydrophobicity of the nanocomposite increased. The highest stress (170% of PBAT) was observed when the content of epoxy-MWCNT-DEA in the nanocomposite was 2 wt%.

본 실험에서는 4관능성 에폭시 수지 (4EP)와 생분해성 modified aliphatic polyester (MAP) 블렌드의 경화 거동, 열안전성, 유변학적 특성, 그리고 기계적 특성을 살펴보았다. DSC 측정 결과, 경화 활성화 에너지 ( $E_{a}$ )는 4EP에 대한 MAP의 비율이 10 wt%로 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 이는 4EP와 MAP 사이의 분자상호작용이 증가하였기 때문으로 사료된다. 열안정성과 관련있는 분해 활성화 에너지 ( $E_{t}$ )는 Coats-Redfern 방법을 이용하여 구하였으며 MAP의 함량비가 10에서 30 wt% 내에서 증가하였다. 이는 블렌드 시스템에서의 가교 밀도의 증가 때문으로 사료된다. 유변학적 특성은 레오미터를 이용하여 등온 조건하에서 검토하였고, 겔화 시간과 경화 온도를 이용한 Arrhenius 방정식을 적용하여 가교 활성화 에너지 ( $E_{c}$ )를 검토한 결과, $E_{a}$ 와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 기계적 계면특성인 파괴인성 ( $K_{IC}$ )은 시편의 semi-IPN구조 거동으로 고찰하였다.

본 실험에서는 2관능성 에폭시 수지(2EP)와 생분해성 poly(butylene succinate)(PBS) 블렌드의 유변학적 특성, 경화거동, 열안정성 그리고 기계적 특성을 살펴보았다. 유변학적 특성은 레오미터를 이용하여 등온 조건 하에서 검토하였고, 겔화시간과 경화 온도를 이용한 Arrhenius 방정식을 적용하여 가교 활성화 에너지($\textrm{E}_c$)를 구하였다. $\textrm{E}_c$는 2EP에 대한 PBS의 비율이 10 wt%로 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. DSC 측정 결과, 경화 활성화 에너지($\textrm{E}_a$)는 $\textrm{E}_c$와 유사만 경향을 나타내었는데 이는 2EP와 PBS 사이의 분자상호작용이 증가하였기 때문으로 사료된다. 그리고 열안정성과 관련하이 분해 활성화에너지($\textrm{E}_t$)는 Horowitz-Metzger식을 이용한 적분법을 사용하여 구하였는데 PBS 10 wt%에서 증가하였다. 그리고 20 wt% PBS일 때 가장 높은 임계응력세기 인자를 보이는데, 이는 2EP/PBS 블렌드 시스템의 파괴인성이 증가하였기 때문으로 사료된다.

에폭시 수지는 ECH(Epichlorohydrin)와 BPA(Bisphenol-A)를 원료로 가성소다 존재 하에 탈수응축 반응을 통해 생성되며 반응 부산물로 소금물이 폐수로 발생되는데 이를 Brine이라 부르며 글리시돌과 같은 에멀젼 상태의 ECH 유도체와 수지성 폴리머를 함유하는 알카리성 폐수이다. 이러한 폐수는 폐수처리 과정에서 반응기 내부와 배관 내벽에 폴리머 입자가 침적 및 응고되어 plugging을 일으키는 등 전체적으로 후처리 공정에서 fouling 현상이 발생되고 있는데 이는 미생물의 분해 활성도를 급격히 떨어뜨려 폐수처리 효율이 낮아지는 문제점을 야기 시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무기 응집제와 유기 고분자 응집제를 이용하여 에폭시 수지 생산 공정에서 발생하는 brine 폐수에 존재하는 ECH 유도체와 수지성 폴리머를 반고상 슬러지 형태로 응집 및 침전시킴으로써 fouling 현상을 일으키는 요인을 제거하고자 최적의 응집반응 조건을 도출하였고 경제성 분석 등 이를 실제 공정에 적용할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 하였다.

Exhausting oil resources and increasing pollution around the world are forcing researchers to look for new, renewable, biodegradable materials to lead sustainable development. The use of fiber reinforced composites based on natural fibres has increasingly begun as prospective materials for various engineering applications in the automotive, rail, construction and aerospace industries. The natural fiber chosen to make the composite material is plant-based fibre, e.g. jute fibre, and hemp fibre. Thermosetting polymer based Epoxy (LY556) was utilized as matrix material and The composites were produced using hand lay-up technique. The fabricated composites were tested for acoustic testing, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and flammability testing to asses sound absorption, thermal decomposition and fire resistivity of the structures. Hemp fibre composites have shown improved thermal stability over Jute fibre composites. However, the fire resistance characteristics of jute fibre composites are better as compared to hemp fibre composites. The sound absorption coefficient of composites was found to enhance with the increase of frequency.

Fully biodegradable high strength composites or 'advanced green composites' were fabricated using yearly renewable soy protein based resins and high strength liquid crystalline cellulose fibers. For comparison, E-glass and aramid ($Kevlar^{(R)}$) fiber reinforced composites were also prepared using the same modified soy protein resins. The modification of soy protein included forming an interpenetrating network-like (IPN-like) resin with mechanical properties comparable to commonly used epoxy resins. The IPN-like soy protein based resin was further reinforced using nano-clay and microfibrillated cellulose. Fiber/resin interfacial shear strength was characterized using microbond method. Tensile and flexural properties of the composites were characterized as per ASTM standards. A comparison of the tensile and flexural properties of the high strength composites made using the three fibers is presented. The results suggest that these green composites have excellent mechanical properties and can be considered for use in primary structural applications. Although significant additional research is needed in this area, it is clear that advanced green composites will some day replace today's advanced composites made using petroleum based fibers and resins. At the end of their life, the fully sustainable 'advanced green composites' can be easily disposed of or composted without harming the environment, in fact, helping it.

The pulp mold attract the increasing concern as recyclable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly packaging materials. In order to broaden the applicability of the pulp mold as substitutes of the expanded styrofoam, the properties of various raw materials for the pulp mold were evaluated and the way for improving water resistance properties of the pulp mold were also tested by applying some additives. The higher value in the fines contents and in the water retention value were shown for the TMP (thermomechanical pulp), which resulted in the bulkier pulp mold with the higher moisture absorption property. In case of water resistance properties, the pulp mold made of white ledger stock showed the higher value in water contact angle and very slow water absorption rate. The addition of oil palm EFB fiber showed the improvement in the water resistance of the pulp mold made of UBKP. The effects of various additives on the improvement in the water resistance properties of the pulp mold were tested by using AKD, PVAm, epoxy resin. The application of AKD leaded to the higher increase in the water resistance. The results in this study showed the effects of AKD for the pulp mold could be improved and optimized by the application with fixing agent and by the ageing treatment after production.
