The charge and discharge current in EPR(Ethylene Propylene Rubber), which were irradiated with the radiant capacity of 0~600 ［kgy/h］, have been measured in order to investigate the influence of the atmosphere (oxygen, air and vacuum) on electrical properties. It has been shown that the charge and discharge current increase as the amount of radiant capacity increases in air and vacuum atmosphere. This electrical property degradation can be speculated due to that the C＝O radicals or impurities, which comes from during shaping process, may act as dipoles. On the other hand, the charge and discharge current are shown to be higher in the amount of 1［kgy/h］ than these in 10［kgy/h］ in air atmosphere, because the charge and discharge current can be increased as the exposure time is extended with slower rate. Under the same amount of irradiation, the charge and discharge current in oxygen atmosphere are shown to be higher than those in vacuum. This is possibly due to that the main chain can be broken by oxidation when it is exposed to the $\gamma$ -rays.

In this paper, EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) insulation material was accelerated degradation test at $121^{\circ}C$, $136^{\circ}C$, $151^{\circ}C$, and experiment the typical EAB (elongation at break) at mechanical characteristics analysis. It is shown that the failure-time at the point of 50% of the initial value of Elongation rate to obtain the activation energy. The failure-time was shown each 5,219 hr, 3,165 hr, and 668 hr at three temperatures. In order to derive the activation energy, Arrhenius methodology was applied. Also, we got the Arrhenius plot from three accelerated temperatures. The activation energy values got 0.98 eV from EAB test. The experimental data were evaluated for estimating the probability density, and the suitable distribution by using statistical program MINITAB. It is shown that EAB data by the acceleration thermal degradation is most suitable for the Weibull distribution.

This paper studies the designing method and application for grommets, rubber material used to absorb vibration on the air conditioner compressor. The existing grommet with hardness 40 degrees, EPDM, has the high transmissibility on the compressor that causes additional structure born sound. The problem for EPDM is transformation over long time usage possibly due to its design in which stress is concentrated on a certain position. In order to resolve it, silicon material was previously used with the same design in some models. The vibration performance did improve, but the cost became high. Below are the major developments regarding improvements in compressor rubber material, vibration performance and durability through design change, and new grommet to attain cost reduction. 1 The optimum grommet design for stress even distribution through FEM methods. 2. Comparison for grommet material and design for improved transmissibility. 3. Assess for grommets durability and product applications.

Recycling of red mud from the aluminium manufacturing process was investigated to be utilized as plastic fillers. High density polyethylene(HDPE), low density polyethylene(LDPE) and polypropylene(PP) were found to be the suitable plastic material for which red mud can be used as fillers. With the addition of red mud the plastic showed red brown color. As the ratio of amount of red mud to plastic increased, the tensile strength increased while the Izod impact strength decreased. About five percent of ethylene vinyl alcohol(EVA) was needed as an additive to prevent the lowering of impact strength. Maleic anhydride modified polypropylene was effective for reduction of impact strength lowering of PP. Mixed waste plastics containing LDPE, HDPE, PP, polystyrene and ABS could also accommodate red mud as fillers. In this case, significant loss in mechanical properties were observed due to immiscibility between the components. Ethylene propylene rubber(EPR) and styrene butadiene styrene block copolymer (SBS) could be used to improve the impact properties of the commingled waste plastics.

전기공학분야의 여러다른 부분과 같이 전력케이블 분야에서도 수많은 연구와 아울러 특히 19세기후반에 전력케이블의 제작에 성공한 것은 20세기에 들어와서 케이블과 이에 관련된 모든 기술이 빠른 속도로 발달하게된 주원동력이 되었다고 보아도 과언은 아니다. 비록 19세기 후반에 고무(rubber)를 사용하여 케이블 절연 하였지만, 그이후 약 70여년이상을 Impergnated paper(오일복합수지(oil compound resin)나 오일(oil)을 종이에 스며들게한 후 그 종이를 절연재료로 이용함)를 전력케이블 절연재료로 많이 사용하여 왔다. 아울러 OF cable의 제조기술도 향상되어 현재 매우 높은 전압과 상당한 전력용량를 충족시키는 전력케이블로서 발달을 계속하고 있다. 1960년대에 들어서서 extruded polymer material 이 전력케이블의 절연재료로 쓰이게 되었는데 현저하게 주로 쓰이는 재료로 폴리에틸렌인대, 그대로 순수한 상태로 또는 어떤 처리를 하여 쓰기도 한다. 그러나 EPR(ethylene propylene rubber)도 역시 개발중에 있다. Extruded synthetic insulation을 사용한 케이블은 현재 모든 필요한 전류와 전압을 망라하여 널리 쓰이고 있으며 다른재료를 사용한 케이블 보다 설치하기에 쉽고 사용법이 비교적 간단하고, 또한 전력망(network)에서의 신뢰서이도 높은 것으로 나타나 매우 만족스런 재료로 인정받고 있다.
