과산화물 가교제의 농도가 헬리콥터 연료탱크의 자기밀폐층 소재로 적용시키기 위한 천연고무 스폰지의 팽윤에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 천연고무 콤파운드를 Kneader와 Roll-Mill을 활용하여 제조하고, 고압조건의 프레스에서 부분 가교시킨 후 대기압의 금형에서 발포와 완전가교를 실시하였다. 얻어진 스폰지의 겉보기밀도를 측정하고 스폰지의 셀구조를 주사전자현미경을 통하여 관찰하였다. 톨루엔, 이소옥탄과 항공유를 사용하여 실온에서 팽윤실험을 실시하였다. 용매에 2분 동안 침적 후 얻어지는 부피팽윤비 값은 과산화물 농도가 감소함에 따라 증가하다가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 스폰지의 겉보기밀도와 셀구조는 과산화물 함량에 매우 민감하였으며 이는 또한 천연고무 스폰지의 팽윤거동에 영향을 미쳤다. 천연고무 스폰지가 연료와 접촉하여 신속한 팽윤이 얻어지기 위하여 금형에서 동시에 발생하는 두 가지 반응인 발포제의 분해반응과 천연고무의 가교반응을 적절히 조절하는 것이 중요하다.

1,3-Diphenylguanidine (DPG) is commonly used as a secondary accelerator which not only acts as booster of cure but also activating silanization reaction. The aim of this study is to increase the interaction between silica and rubber by using DPG. In this study, mixing was proceeded in two steps. The T-1 compound is mixed DPG with silica and silane coupling agent in the kneader at high temperature which is named as $1^{st}$ mixing step. T-3 compound is mixed DPG with curatives in the two-roll mill at low temperature which is named as $2^{nd}$ mixing step. The T-2 compound is mixed a half of DPG in $1^{st}$ mixing step and the remainder is mixed in $2^{nd}$ mixing step. Total DPG content was equal for all compounds. When DPG is mixed with silica, silane coupling agent during the $1^{st}$ mixing step, a decrease in cure rate and an increase in scorch time can be seen. This indicates that DPG is adsorbed on the surface of silica. during rubber processing. However, bound rubber content is increased and dynamic properties are improved. These results are due to the highly accelerated silanization reaction. However, there are no significant difference in 100%, 300% modulus.

We investigated compatibilizing effects of electrical properties such as charge distributions and electrical breakdown in blends of low density polyethylene (LDPE) / polystyrene (PS) with poly [styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene] (SEBS), the triblock copolymer. The blends with $70\;wt\%$ of LDPE and $30\;wt\%$ of PS were prepared through a melt blending in a batch type kneader at a temperature of $220^{\circ}C$ when the SEBS content increased up to $10\;wt\%$. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was investigated for observation of morphology of LDPE / PS blends increasing SEBS contents. The morphological observation showed that addition of SEBS results in the domain size reduction of the dispersed PS phase and a better interfacial adhesion between LDPE and PS phases. Measurements of space charge distributions for blends was carried out with pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. It was possible to observe that the amount of charge storage in the LDPE / PS blends decreased wiか increasing of SEBS content. The location of SEBS at a domain interface enables charges to move from one phase to the other via domain interface and results in a indicative decrease in the amount of space charge for the LDPE / PS blends with SEBS. Electrical breakdown strength of these blends was observed. It was found that the maximum breakdown strength of the blend was 51.55 kV/mm. These results were better than 38.38 kV/mm of LDPE used electrical insulator for cables and were caused by crystalinity of blends. Because the crystalinity of blends were lower than LDPE, electrical breakdown strength of LDPE / PS blends is higher than that of LDPE. We evaluated the possibility of these blends for insulating material substituted LDPE.

Rubber composites were prepared by kneading the precured CIIR with BR in order to analyze the effects of the dispersed phase on the BR/PCIIR composites. The particle size of domain in BR/CIIR composites was decreased and homogeneously dispersed by kneading process the precured CIIR used as dispersed phase in kneader once again. In case of BR/PCIIR40, the kneading time of precured CIIR with BR did not have any effect on the rebound resilience and the hardness of the composite. The tensile strength of the composite prepared by kneading precured CIIR particles and then mixing them with BR increased significantly more than 10% when compared to that of the composite which was not kneaded. The composite maintained the surface friction property while increasing anti-abrasion and mechanical properties significantly by kneading the precured CIIR used as dispersed phase.
