자동차용 유압브레이크 고무호스 어셈블리 제품은 자동차에 장착되어 실제로 사용 중에 가압, 굽힘, 비틀림, 열하중 등의 복합적인 스트레스를 받는다. 고무호스의 재질은 EPDM(ethylene-propylene diene monomer)고무와 PVA(polyvinyl acetate)섬유 보강층 그리고 중간고무로 NR(natural rubber)고무가 사용되고 있다. 고무호스 어셈블리 제품의 내구성과 파괴 메커니즘을 조사하기 위해 굽힘과 비틀림의 반복하중 사이클 수가 10만, 20만, 30만, 40만, 최종파열 사이클 수까지 되도록 시험하였다. 유압브레이크 고무호스의 초기크랙 발생을 알아보기 위해 제품 시험편을 다이아몬드 휠커터를 이용하여 수직 절단하여 폴리싱한 후 광학현미경과 주사형 전자현미경(SEM)으로 단면을 관찰하였다. 40만 사이클의 피로하중을 받은 시험편을 보면 외면고무와 PVA섬유 사이의 계면을 따라 길이 1mm의 층간분리가 일어났으며, 이러한 손상은 외면고무의 표피층으로 균열을 진전시켜 고무호스를 최종적으로 찢어지게 하는 것이다.

The aim of this study was to develop the recycling methode of alloyed recycling plastics. The compatibilizers have been used to improve the physical properties of recycling plastics. Eethylene propylene rubber(EPR), ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM), styrene ethylene butylene styrene block copolymer(SEBS), maleic anhydride modified styrene ethylene butylene styrene block copolymer(SEBS-MA) and styrene butadiene styrene block copolymer(SBS) were singled out as compatibilizers. In this study, the physical properties such as impact and tensile strength have improved above 20% by using the compatibilizers.

The outdoor polymeric insulating materials such as silicone rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM), ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) and epoxy are aged by various natural environment with the long-term performance in outdoor. In this paper, the effects of UV-ray on surface of silicone rubber were investigated by using the weather-Ometer. The accelerated aging stresses were simulated by UV radiation. high temperature and humidity as well as water spray. These the aging characteristics were examined through contact angle measurements, tracking resistance test, FT-IR and SEM/EDS analysis. the experimental results showed that tracking resistance decreases with increase in the UV-ray irradiation period. But the surface of silicone rubber kept hydrophobicity. It is found that the inorganic filler such as $Al(OH)_3$ improves tracking resistance and the $TiO_2$ is very effective in preventing degradation of silicone rubber surface from UV-ray.

A comprehensive survey of the available literature showed that in the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs). TPVs are the second largest group of soft thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) after styrene-based block copolymers, and offer a wide range of potential and proven applications, including in mechanical rubber goods, under-the-hood applications in the automotive field, industrial hose applications, electrical applications, consumer goods, and soft touch applications. Over the last two decades, TPVs have shown a strong and steady market growth (~12% per year). Commercialized TPVs are commonly based on blends of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber and polypropylene (PP), and to a lesser extent on combinations of butyl or nitrile rubber with PP. EPDM/PP TPVs are characterized by finely dispersed crosslinked EPDM rubber particles (particles size varying between 0.5 and $2.0{\mu}m$) distributed in a continuous thermoplastic PP matrix. If the rubber particles of such a blend are small enough and if they are vulcanized well enough, then the properties of the blend are generally improved. This review article introduces various topics and aspects relevant to EPDM/PP TPVs. The development of TPVs, the use of various types of crosslinking systems and co-agents as crosslinking agents for PP/EPDM blends, the morphology and rheology of TPVs, and their typical end-use applications are also reviewed.

4종류의 고무 즉, 천연고무(NR), styrene-butadiene copolymer(SBR), ethylene-propylene diene monomer(EPDM), brominated isobutylene-p-methyl-styrene copolymer(BIMS)의 영(Young) 탄성율을 비롯한 인장특성과 인열강도를 여러가지 가교도와 시험온도에서 측정하였다. 과가황(over-cure)의 영향을 조사하기 위해 과가교 고무컴파운드의 인장강도와 팽윤(swelling) 거동도 조사하였다. 모든 고무컴파운드에 대해 영 탄성율(E)은 가교도와 선형적인 비례관계를 보였다. EPDM이 가장 높은 기울기를 그리고 BIMS가 가장 낮은 기울기를 보였고, NR과 SBR은 이들 사이의 값을 나타내었다. 인열강도 Gc는 NR>BIMS>SBR>EPDM의 순으로 나타났다. 과가교에 따라 NR과 SBR의 가교도는 감소한 반면, BIMS는 오히려 증가하였고, EPDM은 거의 변하지 않았다.

이 연구에서는 메탈로센 (metallocene) 촉매로 중합된 에틸렌-옥텐 공중합체를 충격보강제로 사용한 복합 폴리프로필렌 (PP)에 상용화제로 프로필렌-옥텐 공중합체의 영향에 관하여 조사하였다. 사용된 프로필렌-옥텐 공중 합체는 실험실에서 메탈로센 촉매를 사용하여 중합하였다. 상용화제가 첨가되지 않은 복합 PP의 경우 웰드라인에서 기계적 물성이 매우 낮았는데 상용화제의 첨가에 따라 웰드라인의 기계적 강도가 현저히 증가하였다. 그러나 상용화제 가 첨가된 복합 PP라도 웰드라인이 없는 시편에서는 물성개선이 크지 않는 것으로 관찰되었는데, 이는 제조된 상용화 제의 분자량이 매우 낮기 때문이었다. 적절한 조건에서 분자량이 높은 프로필렌 옥텐 공중합체를 제조한다면 상용화제로서 효과가 클 것으로 기대할 수 있었다.

Multi-Surface (MS) treatment is a new technique of surface treatment to reduce the static friction factor on the surface of rubber. MS treatments include 4 methods which names are MS-V (UV-irradiation on the rubber surface), MS-M (doing the chemical reaction with double bond of rubber), MS-Q (dilution of rubber surface by silicone surfactant), and MS-P (coating and heating of rubber surface). The experiment and test of every MS-treatment had been carried out using acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), and chlorosulphonated rubber (CSM) as rubber materials. It had introduced the steps of every MS-treatment process and the result of the properties test. From the research, it was found that the best method was MS-V treatment because it suited all the samples and the effect was obviously.

본 연구에서는 전자파 차폐형 MCT(multi cable transit)의 인서트블록에 사용되는 유연성 EPDM(ethylene propylene diene monomer)고무 상에 무전해 도금을 이용하여 니켈도금을 실시하였다. 도금욕의 공정변수 조절 즉 pH 및 온도에 따라 Ni 도금층의 결정성 및 부착력이 결정되었다. pH와 온도를 달리하여 합성 한 결과 pH 7 및 8, $60{\sim}70^{\circ}C$에서 얻은 도금막들에서 잘 발달된 결정상과 높은 전기 전도도를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. pH 7, $70^{\circ}C$에서 도금 시 가장 높은 부착력 및 전기전도도를 얻을 수 있었으며, 또한 400 MHz~1 GHz 범위에서 우수한 전자파 차단능을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper describes the degraded properties of between the charge and discharge current for ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated in electric power cable rubbers using in nuclear power generating station. The charge and discharge current of degradation in EPR(Ethylene Propylene Rubber), which were irradiated with the radiant capacity of 0.033 Mrad/h, have been measured in order to investigate the influence of the atmosphere(in amount of reinforcing agent, moisture absorption and heat treatment) on electrical properties. When ${\gamma}$-ray were irradiated on the EPR with more reinforcing agent from 4 to 40 Phr, charge and discharge currents was increase due to the amount of reinforcing agent. It was verified that the discharging and charging currents irradiated by ${\gamma}$-ray were higher than those that was not irradiated. The amount of the degraded current was more after moisture absorption than before moisture absorption. The charge and discharge current after heat treatment was similar to that of before heat treatment and it was decreased with the time elapsed. As these properties related with ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation dose, it is suggested that these properties can be utilized as a index of irradiation degradation.

Purpose: Recently, environmental pollution and safety problems in agricultural production have become important issues. Initially, bio-production machines focused on high production efficiency rather than workers' safety and comfort, but this trend slowly has changed as time went on. Methods: This study was carried out to identify sound efficiently and reliably for noise reduction by using a combine cabin model. Ethylene propylene diene monomer (M-class) rubber (EPDM) was applied to improve noise reduction performance from parts connected directly to the front, rear, left side, and bottom side of the cabin. Results: As a result, an average noise reduction of 1.85 dB was achieved in the normal hearing range between 500 Hz to 2 kHz. Conclusions: Reducing the cabin noise levels can reduce a worker's fatigue, improve working environment, and contribute to future low-noise and high-quality cabin environment.
