In this study, the anionic emulsified asphalt was prepared by dispersing asphalt particles evenly into water with combination of anionic and nonionic surfactants. Effects of NaOH and $CaCl_2$ on the phase stability of the emulsified asphalt were also investigated through zeta potential value and rheology behavior; the emulsified asphalt added with NaOH and $CaCl_2$ showed higher zeta potential value than that the asphalt with addition of only anionic and nonionic surfactants. In addition, with regard to shear thinning behaviors, it was found that pH of the emulsified anionic asphalt and $Ca^{2+}$, counter ion, affected the phase stability. SBR (styrene-butadiene-rubber) latex, EPD (water dispersed Epoxy), PU (polyurethane) and RI-10S, SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene)-based property improvement additive, were used and studied to enhance the adhesion properties with the aggregates. RI-10S, however, was found to be only compatible with the anionic emulsified asphalt; the coating rate, adhesion and compression strength were increased with the RI-10S content.

Electroluminescent(EL) dcvice based on organic thin layers have attracted lots of interests because of thier possible application as large-area light-emitting displays. It was known that MEH-PPV and 1, 1, 4, 4, -Tetraphenyl-1, 3-butadiene(TPB) has red and blue emission peak at 580nm and 480nm, respectively. In this study, MEH-PPV films and TPB films were prepared by spin coating and vacuum deposition method, respectively. Films of MEH-PPV and TPB double layer were also prepared by the same method. Photoluminescent(PL) characteristics of these single and doubler layers were investigated, where a cell structure of glass substrate/ITO/MEH-PPV and/or TPB/Al was employed. It was found that the photoluminescent efficiency of TPB film was higher than that of MEH-PPV film with a single layer and also with a double structure. These films have also different I-V characteristics.

In this experiment butadiene rubber(BR)/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBR) blends was prepared and then the applicability of BR/NBR blends as printing rubber roller was examined. With the aid of open 2-roll mill, BR, NBR and another chemical additives were compounded. Then rubber vulcanizates were manufactured by hot press and maximum torque, Mooney viscosity, mechanical properties and oil resistance of the test specimens were measured. With prolonged oil aged treating time, BR/NBR blends became soft and so the hardness of blends decreased. It could be explained by the swelling of rubber matrix with oil penetration in to rubber molecules. The undesirable low value of oil resistance of BR was significantly improved by blending BR with NBR.

The electrical conductivity during vulcanization process was measured as a function of time for the system of TiC loaded styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites. The phenomenon of negative and positive temperature coefficients of conductivity and its conduction mechanism were also studied for the SBR polymeric composites. The current-voltage characteristics of the polymeric composites were non-linear in high voltage and showed a switching effect. The effects of temperature on the thermal conductivity and effective dielectric constant were measured. The measured parameters were found to be dependent on TiC concentration. The electromagnetic wave shielding (EMS) of the SBR-TiC polymeric composite was also examined. The SBR filled with TiC could be expected to be promising novel smart polymeric composites for self-electrical heating, temperature sensor, time delay switching, and electro-magnetic wave shielding effectiveness.

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.

The phase morphology, degree of craze and impact property in Polycarbonate (PC)/Acrylonitrile-Butadiene- styrene (ABS) blend containing the phosphate based flame retardant were studied in terms of injection molding temperatures. As the injection molding temperature increases, significant amount of coalescences and crazes were observed and impact strength decreased. It was also observed that the addition of compatibilizer into the blends suppresses the coalescence and craze.

A strain energy density function is used to characterize the hyperelasticity of rubber-like materials. Conventional models, such as the Neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, and Ogden models, are widely used in automotive industries, in which the strain potential is derived from strain invariants or principal stretch ratios. A fitting procedure for experimental data is required to determine material constants for each model. However, due to the complexities of the mathematical expression, these models can only produce an accurate curve fitting in a specified strain range of the material. In this study, a hyperelastic model for Neodymium Butadiene rubber is developed by using the Artificial Neural Network. Comparing the analytical results to those obtained by conventional models revealed that the proposed model shows better agreement for both uniaxial and equibiaxial test data of the rubber.

Environmental issues caused by our dependence on fossil fuels have caused our society to move toward new renewable sources of energy and chemicals. In this study, we develop an integrated process that co-produces butene oligomer (i.e., biofuels) and 1,3-butadiene (i.e., monomer for the production of synthetic rubber). To minimize utility consumption, we conduct heat integration. Then, we conduct a range of techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment to investigate economic and environmental feasibility of the proposed process.

Herein, a facile approach for the development of effective and low-cost carbon precursors from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) rubber is reported. ABS rubber with a negligible char yield can be converted into an excellent carbon precursor with approximately 54% char yield under a nitrogen atmosphere at 800℃ by simple iodine doping and subsequent heating at 110℃ under an inert atmosphere. The enhanced char yield is attributed to the improved intermolecular interactions between the ABS chains caused by the formation of covalent bonds between the butadiene segments, along with the newly developed charge-charge interactions and other indiscriminate radical-radical couplings. The charges and radicals involved in these interactions are also generated by iodine doping. We believe that this study will be useful for the development of low-cost carbon precursors.

The graft polymerization of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate(HEMA) and vinyltriethoxysilane(VTES) onto styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer(SBS) was carried out in toluene, with radical initiator such as benzoyl peroxide(BPO) and 2, 2'-azo-bis-isobutyronitrile(AIBIN) under nitrogen atmosphere. The degree of grafting was increased with the increases of the reaction temperature and time. And the effeciency of BPO was superior to that of AIBN. The mechanical properties and molecular weight of graft products were measured and the applicability as adhesive of plasticized PVC leather was examined.
