Rubber compounds have high viscoelastic property. One of the viscoelastic behaviors during profile extrusion is the swelling of extrudate. In this study, die swell of rubber compounds at the capillary die have been investigated through an experiment and computer simulation. They have been performed using fluidity tester in experiment and commercial CFD code, Polyflow in computer simulation. Die swell of rubber compounds for relaxation time at several modes under same conditions with the experiment were predicted using non-linear differential viscoelastic model, Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) model. The simulation was analyzed compared with the experiment. Viscoelastic behaviors for pressure, velocity and shear rate distribution were analyzed at the capillary die. It is concluded that the PTT model successfully represented the amount of the optimal die swell of rubber compounds for relaxation time at different modes.

Polyhydroxyamides derivatized with trifluorormethyl ether and trifluoromethyl ester groups were investigated as possible candidates for a new flame retardant polymer. Model compounds for these derivatized polyhydroxyamides were synthesized and their cyclization chemistry was investigated. The model compound study revealed that trifluorornethyl ester group containing model compounds can cyclize on heating, while trifluoromethyl ether group containing model compounds cannot. The non-fluorinated ether and ether derivatives behaved similarly. The trifluoromethyl ester derivatized polyhydroxyamides were synthesized according to the procedures for the model compounds. TGA characterization revealed that the fluorinated polymers have nearly same thermal stability as the underivatized PHA after cyclization.

While a range of natural organic matter (NOM) types can generate high levels of disinfection by-products (DBPs) after chlorination, there is little understanding of which specific compounds act as precursors. Use of eight model compounds allows linking of explicit properties to treatability and DBP formation potential (DBPFP). The removal of model compounds by various treatment processes and their haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP) before and after treatment were recorded. The model compounds comprised a range of hydrophobic (HPO) and hydrophilic (HPI) neutral and anionic compounds. On the treatment processes, an ozone oxidation process was moderate for control of model compounds, while the HPO-neutral compound was most treatable with activated carbon process. Biodegradation was successful in removing amino acids, while coagulation and ion exchange process had little effect on neutral molecules. Although compared with the HPO compounds the HPI compounds had low HAAFP the ozone oxidation and biodegradation were capable of increasing their HAAFP. In situations where neutral or HPI molecules have high DBPFP additional treatments may be required to remove recalcitrant NOM and control DBPs.

Lignin model compounds I-lV were pyrolyzed at 315$^{\circ}C$. The mixture compounds pyrolized were analyzed by GC-MS spectrometry. The results were summarized as follows : 1. From the pyrolysis of lignin model compound I and II, 0.45mo1 of guaiacol, 0.5mol of dimethoxyphenol(DMP), and 0.12 and 0.23mo1 of dimethoxyacetonphenone(DMAP) were produced respectively. 2. In the pyrolysis of lignin model compound III and IV, 0.26mol of guaiacol, 0.30mo1 of DMP, and 0.09 and 0.15mo1 of trimethoxyaretonphenone(TMAP) were produced respectively 3. Pyrolysis mechanism of lignin model compounds are dehydrated at first, and $\beta$-04 linkage cleavaged, and then guaiacol, DMP, DMAP and TMAP were produced. The above results show that lignin model compound I and II produce more aromatic compounds than lignin model compound III and IV. This is reason that veratryl unit structures may pyrolize easier than trimethoxyphenol unit structures. The closer research is proceeding.

The effect of precoating of silica with polyamine surfactants on the adsorption of five model compounds containing asphalt-like functionalities was studied. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (HDTMA) and 1-hexadecylamine were used for silica precoating. The model compounds representing five asphalt functionalities were benzoic acid, phenol, benzylbenzoate, benzophenone, and quinoline. All the adsorption isotherms conformed well to the Langmuir adsorption model. All the model compounds showed decreased adsorption with the HDTMA precoating. However, two acidic compounds, benzoic acid and phenol, showed enhanced adsorption on the silica precoated with 1-hexadecylamine. In aqueous solutions, the adsorption of the acidic compounds were in the following order: silica precoated with 1-hexadecylamine > silica precoated with HDTMA > uncoated silica.

This paper describes various characteristics of the new compounds for cable jackets and model cables advanced in waterproof performance in order to essentially solve the problems of underground (URD) distribution class power cable failures. Several compounds were manufactured by the inclusion of additives to base resins available in Korea and tested for basic property, mechanical and electrical characteristics. Two model cables were created by using the compounds determined in the test as being the most appropriate for new structured model cable jacket material. The waterproof performance and mechanical strength of the new cable jackets were verified by applicable tests. As a result, MDPE and LLDPE compounds were superior as cable jackets in both mechanical and electrical characteristic aspects when compared with conventional PVC. In addition, the model cables composed of the new compounds based on MDPE showed good quality results in the water permeability test.

This experiment was carried out to contribute to the synthetic methods of ligin model compounds. The ligin model compounds of arylglycerol-${\beta}$-arylether structure were synthesized in high yield through three or four reaction steps.

This study investigated the removal characteristics of various micro organic compounds by low-pressure nanofiltration membranes comprised of disinfection by products and pharmaceutically active compounds. The experimental removal of micro organic compounds by low-pressure nanofiltration membranes was compared with the transport model calculations, which consist of diffusion and convection terms including steric hindrance factor. The selected molecule from the disinfection byproducts and pharmaceutical active compounds showed a much lower removal than polysac-charides with a similar molecular size. However,the difference between model calculation and experimental removal of disinfection by-products and pharmaceutically active compounds could be corrected. The correlation of Ks with solute radius was further considered to clarity transport phenomena of micro organic solutes through nanofiltration membranes.

In this study, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from printing industries were analyzed, and an inorganic adsorbent, ${\gamma}-alumina$, was selected for the effective control of the VOC emissions. Printing processes commonly require inks, thinners, and cleaners, and they were mixed organic solvents containing aromatic compounds, ketones, and alcohols. Therefore, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) were selected as model compounds for this study. The adsorptive properties using ${\gamma}-alumina$ were determined for the model compounds. Both batch isotherm and continuous flow column tests demonstrated that the adsorption capacity of MEK and IPA was 3~4 times higher than that of toluene. The column test performed at an inlet toluene concentration of 100 ppm showed that an 80% breakthrough for toluene was observed after 3 hours, but both MEK and IPA were continuously adsorbed during the same time period. A numerical model simulated that the ${\gamma}-alumina$ could remove toluene at a loading rate of 0.4 mg/min only for a 4-hour period, which might be too short of a duration for real applications. Consequently, lifetime enhancement for ${\gamma}-alumina$ must be implemented, and ozone oxidation and regeneration would be feasible options.
