Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to study the diffusion behavior of small gas molecules ($CO_2$) in polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/polylactide (PLA) blends. The Flory-Huggins interaction parameters (${\chi}$) determined from the cohesive energy densities are smaller than the critical value of Flory-Huggins interaction parameters (${\chi}_{critical}$), and that indicates the good compatibility of PET/PLA blends. The diffusion coefficients of $CO_2$ are determined via MD simulations at 298 K. That the order of diffusion coefficients is correlated with the availably fractional free volume (FFV) of $CO_2$ in the PET/PLA blends means that the FFV plays a vital role in the diffusion behavior of $CO_2$ molecules in PET/PLA blends. The slopes of the log (MSD) as a function of log (t) are close to unity over the entire composition range of PET/PLA blends, which confirmes the feasibility of MD approach reaches the normal diffusion regime of $CO_2$ in PET/PLA blends.

PMMA와 본질적으로 비상용성인 PB에 MMA를 그라프트 중합시켜서 이를 PMMA와 블렌드하여 그라프트율 변화에 따른 내충격성, 인장강도, haze 변화 및 상용성변화를 SEM, DSC, Instrone 등을 통하여 관찰하였다. Poly(butadlene-g-MMA)의 그라프트율이 증가함에 따라서, MMA 그라프트로 인한 PMMA와의 상용성의 증가에 의하여 PMMA-poly(butadlene-g-MMA) 블렌드의 인장강도, 내충격성 및 투명성 등이 그라프트하지 않은 PB-PMMA 블렌드에 비하여 향상되는 결과를 나타내었다. 반면에, 투명성은 PMMA 단독수지에 비해서는 다소 떨어지는 결과를 나타내었다.

The cure kinetics of blends of epoxy (DGEBA, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A)/anhydride resin with polyamide copolymer, poly(dimmer acid-co-alkyl polyamine), were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under isothermal condition. On increasing the amount of polyamide copolymer in the blends, the reaction rate was increased and the final cure conversion was decreased. Lower values of final cure conversions in the epoxy/(polyamide copolymer) blends indicate that polyamide hinders the cure reaction between the epoxy and the curing agent. The value of the reaction order, m, for the initial autocatalytic reaction was not affected by blending polyamide copolymer with epoxy resin, and the value was approximately 1.3, whereas the reaction order, n, for the general n-th order of reaction was increased by increasing the amount of polyamide copolymer in the blends, and the value increased from 1.6 to 4.0. A diffusion-controlled reaction was observed as the cure conversion increased and the rate equation was successfully analyzed by incorporating the diffusion control term for the epoxy/anhydride/(polyamide copolymer) blends. Complete miscibility was observed in the uncured blends of epoxy/(polyamide copolymer) up to 120 $^{\circ}C$, but phase separations occurred in the early stages of the curing process at higher temperatures than 120 "C. During the curing process, the cure reaction involving the functional group in polyamide copolymer was detected on a DSC thermogram.gram.

The state of compatability of poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and methyl cellulose(MC), prepared by an aqueous solution casting, were investigated over the entire compositions by dynamical mechanical analyzer(DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The glass transition temperatures of the blends, estimated by DMA, indicate that the blends of PVA and MC showed a definite degree of partial miscibility by showing two glass transition temperatures below 80 wt % MC contents in the blends and one glass transition temperature above 80 wt % of MC contents. The DSC results show a depression of melting point and crystallization temperature of PVA in the blends containing more than 80 wt % MC. This indicates that a considerable compatibility in the blend above 80 wt % MC contents may be attribute to the presence of interaction of hydroxyl groups of component polymers through hydrogen bonding. The DMA study of the effect of plasticizer on the polymers showed that water was a good plasticizer for PVA and PEG400 for MC. The addition of water and PEG400 in the blends showed a synergic plasticizing effect on these blends, which resulted in the large extent of the improvement of the compatibility. The elongation of PVA, MC and blonds was found to increase with addition of PEG400 in the blends, but the tensile strength to decrease with addition of plasticizer.

Hot embossing 공정을 이용하여 광도파로 소자를 제조하기 위하여 polymethylmeth-acrylate (PMMA)와 polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF)를 용융 혼합하여 물리적 성질과 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. PMMA/PVDF 혼합물의 유리전이온도 ($T_g$)는 PVDF의 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 하지만 PVDF의 결정은 관찰되지 않았다. PMMA와 비교적 적은 양인 PVDF간의 분자수준의 상호작용에 기인하는 혼화성에 의하여 $T_g$는 감소하고 PVDF의 결정화를 방해하여 무정형성을 유지하는 것으로 판단되었다. PMMA/PVDF 혼합물의 전단점도는 PMMA와 PVDF 사이에서 나타나며 PMMA와 PVDF 사이의 상용성에 의해 PVDF의 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. PVDF의 함량이 증가할수록 불소분자의 첨가에 의한 분자의 분극률이 저하되어 혼합물의 굴절률과 흡수손실은 감소하고 투과율은 증가하였다.

The isothermal cure reactions of blends of epoxy (DGEBA, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A)/anhydride resin with polyamide copolymer (poly(dimmer acid-co-alkyl polyamine)) or PEI were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Rheological measurements have been made to investigate the viscosity and mechanical relaxation behavior of the blends. The reaction rate and the final cure conversion were decreased with increasing the amount of thermoplastics in the blends. Lower values of final cure conversions in the epoxy/thermoplastic blends indicate that thermoplastics hinder the cure reaction between the epoxy and the curing agent. Complete miscibility was observed in the uncured blends of epoxy/thermoplastics up to $120^{\circ}C$ but phase separations occurred in the early stages of the curing process at higher temperatures than $120^{\circ}C$. According to the rheological measurement results, a rise of G' and G" at the onset of phase separation is seen. A rise of G' and G" is not observed for neat epoxy system since no phase separation is seen during cure reaction. At the onset of phase separation the rheological behavior was influenced by the amount of thermoplastics in the epoxy/thermoplastic blends, and the onset of phase separation can be detected by rheological measurements.

밀가루에 멥쌀(밀양 23호) 또는 통일찹쌀 가루를 10, 20 및 30% 대체한 복합분의 물리적 성질 및 제빵 적성을 검토하였다. 밀-밀양 복합분은 밀-찹쌀 복합분 보다 높은 점도를 보였다. 복합분의 파리노그라프 안정성은 밀가루 보다 짧았으나 최적 반죽발전 시간은 비슷하였다. 제빵 적성은 밀-밀양 복합분이 다소 좋은 결과를 보였고 대체로 밀가루(멥쌀 또는 찹쌀)를 20%수준까지는 대체할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 10%수준으로는 밀가루 빵에 크게 손색이 없는 제품이 가능하였다.

이 논문에서는 미세한 통로를 흐르는 고분자 블렌드의 유변학적 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 우선 두께가 각각 0.1, 0.2 0.5 mm 인 세 종류의 슬릿 다이를 제작하였고 특수 제작한 피스톤을 부착한 모세관 점도계로 고분자 블렌드의 점도 거동을 관찰하였다. 관찰 결과 상구조가 해도 구조를 가지는 경우 고분자 블렌드의 점도는 다이의 크기에 의존하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 상구조가 co-continuous 구조를 가지는 경우에는 점도가 다이의 크기에 의존함을 관찰하였는데, 몇몇 부가 실험 결과 이는 각 상 간의 미끄러짐이 원인임을 알 수 있었다.

Calorimetric study in conjunction with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study was carried out on the blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with isotactic, atactic and syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (i-, a-, and s-PMMA). From the differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) measurements, the three types of blends show a depression of the melting temperatures. This indicates that PEO is compatible with i-, a-, and s-PMMA. But the largest melting point depressions of PEO are always found in the blends with s-PMMA. For PEO/a-PMMA and PEO/s-PMMA, the degree of crystallinity as a function of composition deviates substantially from that of the ideal blend in which no interaction between the components exists. The FTIR spectra of all three types of blends are recorded. In order to observe the microstructural changes of PEO in blends, we analyzed the spectra using digital weighted subtraction and addition techniques. It was concluded that the microstructures of PEO are strongly perturbed by the PMMA's. Among these blends PEO microstructure in PEO/s-PMMA blends is most greatly influenced. It indicates that the blending is most preferred with s-PMMA than a- and i-PMMA. It can be explained on the basis of the molecular structure of PMMA's.

This work presents a comparative study of the morphology and structure related properties of thermoplastic elastomer blends based on SEBS/PP/Oil and dynamically vulcanized EPDM/PP/Oil. A combination of ruthenium oxide staining and low voltage scanning electron microscopy (LVSEM) was found to be suitable for the study of morphology of these highly oil extended blends. h close analogy was found in the mechanical, thermal and rheological properties of the two systems made in an internal Brabender mixer and co-rotating turin screw extruder. The morphology of the blends, as made by the two techniques, was found to be significantly different. In the case of TPVs, the blonds made in the extruder had smaller EPDM domains and better tensile properties. In the case of SEBS, the blends made in the Brabender had more co-continuous phases and showed better tensile properties. Crystallization behavior of the isotactic polypropylene in the blends was found to be influenced by the type of rubber. Blends of SEBS/PP crystallized at a lower temperature than the TPVs. These differences were probably caused by differences in the nucleating ability of the two rubbers.
