In this work, calcium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate as metal ionic crosslinking agents were used to introduce ionic crosslinking points to the ethylene vinylacetate (EVA) emulsions for the enhancement of water resistance and mechanical properties of emulsion films. The properties of EVA emulsion film were investigated in crosslinking density, thermal features, surface energy, and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength. With the increasing content of metal ionic crosslinking agent, the crosslinking density of the EVA emulsion film increases, resulting into the improvement of water resistance. The surface energy and mechanical properties of the EVA emulsion film, however, showed somewhat different behaviors. The highest surface energy, tensile strength, and tear strength were observed when 0.4% for calcium hydroxide and 0.5% for magnesium carbonate was added respectively, because the EVA emulsion containing carboxylic acid forms strong carboxylate-metal bond of ionically-crosslinked system. Therefore, it can be concluded that metal ionic crosslinking agents, such as magnesium carbonate and calcium hydroxide are considered to improve water resistance and mechanical properties of the EVA emulsion.

This study investigates the physical properties of the acrylic emulsion mortar according to variable composition set of redispersible emulsion powders. This materials have to be composed of many types of binders and chemical additives. So it is difficult to decide suitable mixing proportion of composition materials. The redispersible emulsion powders using "2, 4, 6, 8kg" of EVA polymers dispersion ranges are prepared with acrylic emulsion mortars and were tested for basic characteristics such as flexural, and compressive strength, wheel load. Through experiments we found that the improved formula to satisfy the standard of wheel load by EVA polymers, and the masration rangs between about 2.0% to 2.6% which the white portland cenmet and EVA polymers is good for resistauce wheel load.

SBR, polyurethane and epoxy latex were separately blended with ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA) emulsion In $0{\sim}50%$. EVA emulsion was not reacted with latexes in liquid phase and mixtures had good stroage stability. The viscosity of cement mixtures was elevated to 20,000cps in $0.5{\sim}2.0$ hours by mixing. The mixtures mixed with pigment represented high viscosity and showed higher viscosity as time goes by. Mixtures had higher hardness with mixing SBR than mixing epoxy or urethane. The hardness was suddenly increased over cement content 30%. showed pencil hardness $H{\sim}2H$ in $50{\sim}60%$. The increase of hardness in high solids was depended upon not only the condensation of latexs but also the coagulation and adhesion of cement particle.

SBR, polyurethane, acryl and epoxy latex were seperately mixed with ethylene-vinylacetate emulsion(EVA) in the range of $0{\sim}50%$ (wt.% ). For the mixtures, the various physical properties were examined. The viscosity of mixtures was mainly influenced by compatability with EVA emulsion, was decreased within 20% (wt.% ) of latex content, and showed the similar values over 20% (wt.% ) of latex content. The workable time of cement mixtures was mainly depended on the reactivity with cement. The formation of film could be only within $30{\sim}40$ minutes from mixing cement. The tack-free time of mixtures was influenced by the sorts of resin and the quantity of cement. The slow order of tack-free time was epoxy mixtures>SBR mixtures>urethane mixtures>acryl mixtures. The pencil hardness of mixtures was $4B{\sim}2H$, represented higher value in cement mixtures than in emulsion state.

The flexural and compressive strengths of polymer-modified mortars containing FRP wastes were investigated. The specimens of polymer-modified mortars containing FRP mortat were perpared by using styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) latex, ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA) emulsion and polyacrylic ester(PAE) emulsion with various FRP-sand ratios(10, 20, 30, 40, 50wt%). The compressive and flexural strengths of polymer-mokified mortars containing FRP wastes were decreased with an increase of FRP-sand ratio. But the compressive and flexural strengths of PAE polymer-modified mortar were more improved than OPC, whereas those of SBR and EVA polymer-modified mortars containing FRP wastes were decreased than OPC.

SBR, polyurethane, acryl and epoxy latex were separately mixed with ethylene -vinylacetate emulsion(EVA) in the range of $0{\sim}50wt%$. For the mixtures, the various physical properties such as defoamerability, mechanical property, and water resistance were experimentally examined. The excellent defoamer was BYK-021 and the appropriate use of it was 0.3 phr for the total components. The shrinkage of compounds was influenced by the compatability of resins and the formation of voids. The mechanical properties was related to the cohesive force of resin particles, the coagulation of cement particles and the co-bonding of resin particles with cement particles. Mixing latex separately showed better properties then non-mixing in the shrinkage ratio, flexural strength, adhesive strength, and impact strength. The water resistance of composites mixed with cement was worse than that of EVA resin.

The strength and durability of polymer-cement mortars were investigated. The specimens of polymer-cement mortar were prepared by using styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) latex, ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA) emulsion and polyacrylic ester(PAE) emulsion with various polymer-cement ratios(5, 10, 15, 20wt%). For the evaluation of durability of polymer-cement mortars, freezing-thawing, acid resistance and heat resistance tests were conducted. With an increase of polymer-cement ratio, the frost resistance of polymer-cement mortars was greatly improved, but acid and heat resistance were deteriorated. The compressive and flexural strengths of SBR polymer-cement mortars were improved with an increase of polymer-cement ratio, whereas those of EVA and PAE polymer-cement mortars reached maximum value at polymer-cement ratio of 10wt%.

The purpose of this study is to make clear the durability of the polymer films formed in the autoclaved polymer-modified mortars and concretes. The polymer films prepared with polymer dispersions such as a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex, a poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate)(EVA) emulsion and a polyacrylic ester (PAE) emulsion for polymeric admixtures are exposed to autoclaving at 18$0^{\circ}C$ in temperature and 1.01 MPa in vapor pressure, and subjected to tensile test and infrared spectroscopy. The durability of the polymer films is evaluated from the application of autoclaving to the polymer films under saturated Ca(OH)$_2$ solution immersion causes no degradation for SBR films and a significant degradation due to the saponification of the polymers for EVA and PAE films. Accordingly, in the application of autoclaving to polymer-modified mortars and concretes, it is suggested that SBR-modified mortars and concretes are hardly degraded but EVA- and PAE-modified mortars and concretes are markedly degraded by the saponification of the polymers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of admixtures as blast-furnace slag(BF) and fly ash(FA) on tensile and adhesive properties of polymer cement mortar(PCM) with EVA emulsion. The test specimens are prepared with five polymer-cement ratio(P/C) and five admixture contents, and tested for tensile strength and adhesion in tension. From the test results, the tensile strength and adhesion in tension could be improved by an appropriate combination of P/C and admixture contents. In particular, the maximum of tensile strength of PCM with P/C 10% and BF content of 10% is 4.70MPa which is about 1.55 times higher than that of plain mortar, and about 1.22 times that of PCM that does not contain any mixture. The ratio of adhesion in tension to tensile strength of PCM with admixtures averaged 55.8%. It is also apparent that admixture contents of 5% or 10% could be proposed for improvement of tensile strength and adhesion in tension of PCM.

신발 및 피혁 제품의 분쇄는 섬유의 길이와 물리적인 특성을 고려하여 3${\sim}$4mm 정도의 섬유 길이로 절단되는 Niagara beater가 우수하였고, 섬유간 접착력을 부여하는 Binder 물질로는 NR latex와 EVA emulsion이 인장, 인열강도가 우수하여 NR latex와 EVA emulsion이 7:3의 비율로 혼합하여 사용하는 것이 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 코팅 처리된 신발 재단 폐기물의 경우 Niagara beater에 Alcalase를 투입하는 것이 분쇄시간의 단축에 유리한 경향을 나타내었고, 건조 공정은 90$^{\circ}C$이하로 유지하는 것이 $^{\triangle}$E값의 변화가 거의 없었고 100$^{\circ}C$에서는 $^{\triangle}$E값이 7.55를 나타내어 황변이 발생하였다.
