Epoxidized polybutadiene (EPB) was prepared by polybutadiene (PB) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) in homogeneous solution. EPB was blended with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) up to 30 wt% by solution-precipitation procedure. The thermal decomposition of PHB/EPB blends was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The thermograms of PHB/EPB blends contained a two-step degradation process, while that of pure PHB sample exhibited only one-step degradation process. This degradation behavior of PHB/EPB blends, which have a higher thermal stability as measured by maximum decomposition temperature and residual weight, is probably due to crosslinking reactions of the epoxide groups in the EPB component with the carboxyl chain ends of PHB fragments during the degradation process, and the occurrence of such reactions can be assigned to the exothermic peaks in their DTA thermograms.

Polybutadiene(PB) was epoxidized to various extents with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) in homogeneous solution. The thermal properties of the epoxidized PBs were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). As a result of epoxidation the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PB increased by approximately $0.8^{\circ}$ for each 1 mol% of epoxidation. The thermal decomposition of the epoxidised PBs occurred in two-step process, while that of PB exhibited apparent one-step degradation process.

새로운 스타폴리머인 바이오폴리부타디엔은 리빙 음이온중합이라는 고분자의 정밀 합성법을 통하여 분자량, 분자량분포, 조성 및 세부구조를 제어하였다. 리빙 음이온중합에 의해 n-BuLi으로 개시된 polybutadienyllithium(PBDLi)의 연쇄말단이 ESO(Epoxidized Soybean Oil)의 기능성 그룹과 커플링 반응을 일으키며 스타폴리머를 합성한다. 분자량이 1,000/5,000/10,000(g/mol)인 PBDLi을 중합하여 THF존재하에서 반응 후 GPC에 의한 분자량 및 arms분석과 $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR에 의한 고분자 구조 분석을 통하여 바이오폴리부타디엔의 합성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서 술폰화 SEBS/HIPS 양이온교환막을 epoxidized polybutadiene과 divinylbenzene 가교제로 가교시켜 캐스팅 및 술폰화방법으로 제조하였다. 막의 술폰화 반응은 황산과 silver sulfate를 사용하여 진행하였다. 또한, 막의 기본물성, 술폰화두 함수율, 이온교환용량, 전기저항 및 모듈러스를 확인하였다. 막의 술폰화도는 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 10 wt% HIPS가 혼합된 막의 술폰화도가 반응시간 120분에서 83.6%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한, 막의 함수율과 이온교환용량은 술폰화도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 최대 43.8%, 1.14 meq/g이었다. 막의 전기저항은 20 wt% HIPS가 혼합된 양이온교환막이 $83\;\Omega{\cdot}cm^2$으로 가장 낮았으며 전기전도도는 10 wt% HIPS 혼합막이 $1.22\times10^{-4}S/cm$로 가장 우수하였다. 또한, 막의 기계적물성, 모듈러스는 술폰화도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 술폰화 전후 모듈러스값은 $153204\;kgf/cm^2$이었다.

Carbon-based nanofillers, including nanodiamond (ND) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have been employed in epoxy matrixes for improving the toughness, using the tow prepreg method, of epoxy compounds for high pressure tanks. The reinforcing performance was compared with those of commercially available toughening fillers, including carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) and block copolymers, such as poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(butyl acrylate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (BA-b-MMA). CTNB improved the mechanical performance at a relatively high filler loading of ~5 phr. Nanosized BA-b-MMA showed improved performance at a lower filler loading of ~2 phr. However, the mechanical properties deteriorated at a higher loading of ~5 phr because of the formation of larger aggregates. ND showed no significant improvement in mechanical properties because of aggregate formation. In contrast, surface-treated ND with epoxidized hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene considerably improved the mechanical properties, notably the impact strength, because of more uniform dispersion of particles in the epoxy matrix. CNTs noticeably improved the flexural strength and impact strength at a filler loading of 0.5 phr. However, the improvements were lost with further addition of fillers because of CNT aggregation.
