Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBR)의 접착력 및 가공성을 향상시키기 위한 연구를 하였다. 최상의 조건을 선별하기 위해서 NBR의 acrylonitrile(ACN) 함량에 따른 접착물성 및 가공성을 관찰하였다. 무늬 점도, 충전제, 가소제 및 가교제가 접착력에 미치는 영향도 조사하였다. NBR의 ACN 함량은 NBR sealing에서 접착거동 및 가공성에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수가 있었다. 최상의 혼합 조건을 알기 위해서 분산도를 조사하였다. 분산도는 혼합순서, 시간 및 온도 등의 많은 인자들에 의해 영향을 받는 것이 확인되었다. 가교시스템은 황 가교시스템, 과산화물 가교시스템, 가교밀도 및 구조 등의 관찰로 연구하였다. 접착제의 변화는 건조 상태와 hexamine 함량 등과 같은 것으로부터 NBR과 접착제 사이의 관계를 연구하였다. 이 결과 접착 물성과 가공성은 ACN 함량 및 가교시스템에 따라 차이를 보였다.

The cellular rubber products for industrial purpose have been applied in many fields such as auto-motive parts, ship-building, machinery, sports goods, diving suit or interior housings etc. The purpose of this dissertation is to study the physical properties of celluar rubber products particulary for those elastomers such as EPDM, CR and NBR with heat resistance property, weather proofness, and oil resistance characteristics respectively, aiming at improving their quality, and renovating the manufacturing know-how which is beyond our technical power at the present time in Korea. In order to meet this requirement an ideal recipe is being shown for the three elastomers, and also a practical recipe which is easily available in terms of compounding ingredients in domestic market has set up as shown in Table 1. for the investigation of vulcanization characteristics by means of Rheometer. The optimum Mooney viscosity of compounded rubber was found to be approximately $ML_{1+4}(100^{\circ}C)$ $30\sim45$. Excess mustication makes a dispersion of ingredients worse, consequently it causes deformation of shapes and heterogenous cell distribution. In other words the articles are rejected because of its insufficient workmanship. The results of physical properties of the products are indicated in Table 3. It has shown that the quality meet requirement when tested in accordance with ASTM D572, 573 and D 395. The test results o CR/IR blends in terms of hardness, volume change by blowing, tensile strength and elongation have been shown.

In the case of high-voltage connectors applied to automobiles, waterproofing has become an important issue for the safety of automobiles. In this study, structural analysis is performed on silicone rubber-type waterproof seals used in the voltage connector. For the structural analysis, the tensile properties of the actual rubber seal are evaluated using a miniaturized tensile testing machine. The Mooney-Rivlin material constants of the rubber seal are determined as follows; $D_1=0$, $C_{01}=0.241$, $C_{10}=0.0142$. The analysis shows that the contact pressure at the top of the seal where the seal and male connector are in contact is approximately three times higher than that at the bottom of the seal where the seal and female connector are in contact. It is confirmed that the waterproofing performance of the rubber seal depends on the contact pressure of the seal bottom where the seal and female connector are in contact. The contact pressure for waterproofing is found to be 4.7 bar. The strain concentration of the curved part is attributed to excessive initial tension. Therefore, a redesign is recommended for uniform stress or strain distribution in the curved section of the seal in response to the stress relaxation problem due to permanent deformation.

In this study, we investigated for natural rubber foam to replace petrochemical-based neoprene foam. Experiments were conducted on vulcanization system and 2-step foaming process of natural rubber. The vulcanization system were EV(Efficient Vulcanization Cure), Semi-EV(Semi-Efficient Vulcanization Cure) and CV(Conventional Vulcanization Cure). In the 2-step foaming process, first molding temperature was 140℃, times were 15, 20, 25, and 30minutes, and the second molding temperature was 160℃, the times 5, 10, 15, and 20minutes. The cure and viscosity characterization were evaluated by oscillating disc rheometer (ODR) and mooney viscosmeter. Various mechanical characteristics, including hardness, tensile strength, elongation at the point of rupture, and tear strength, were quantified. Subsequently, an assessment of alterations in these mechanical attributes was conducted post-immersion in a NaCl solution. In addition degree of volume change was measured after immersing the NR foam in NaCl solution and the low-temperature permanent compression set was evaluated at 4℃. And expansion ratio and shrinkage ratio of NR foam were evaluated for 28 days. As a result the EV vulcanization system showed the least change in physical properties before and after salt water immersion, and the lowest shrinkage ratio for 28 days. In addition it was confirmed that the 2-step foaming optimum condition differed depending on the appropriate vulcanization condition.

In order for engineered tissues to find clinical utility, the engineered tissues must function appropriately. However, smooth muscle (SM) tissues engineered in vitro with a conventional tissue engineering technique may not exhibit contractile functions, because smooth muscle cells (SMCs) cultured in vitro typically revert from a contractile, differentiated phenotype to a synthetic, nondifferentiated phenotype and lose their ability to contract. SMCs in vivo typically reside in mechanically dynamic environments. We hypothesized that cyclic mechanical stretch induces the features of SMCs in in vitro engineered tissues to be similar to those of SMCs in native tissues. To test the hypothesis, aortic SMCs were seeded onto elastic, three-dimensional scaffolds and cultured in vitro under a cyclic mechanical stretching condition for 4 weeks. A significant cell alignment in a direction parallel to the cyclic stretching direction was found in the SM tissues exposed to cyclic stretching. The cellular alignment and alignment direction were consistent with those of native vascular SM tissues, in which SMCs in vivo align in the radial direction (parallel to stretching direction). In control tissues (SM tissues engineered without stretching), cells randomly aligned. The expression of SM ${\alpha}-actin$ and SM myosin heavy chain, phenotypic markers of SMCs in a contractile state, was upregulated in the stretched tissues by 2.5- and 2.0-fold, respectively, compared to SMCs in the control tissues. The cellular features of alignment and contractile phenotype of SMCs in the SM tissues engineered under a mechanically dynamic environment could allow the engineered SM tissues to exhibit contractile functions.

실리카와 실란을 포함하는 고무 복합체의 최적 배합조건을 찾기 위하여 배합온도와 시간을 달리한 고무복합체의 특성을 평가하였다. 고무복합체의 제조를 위한 배합온도는 $120^{\circ}C$, $140^{\circ}C$, $160^{\circ}C$의 다양한 배합시간으로 배합한 후 고무복합체의 특성을 평가하였다. 배합시간이 증가할수록 점도의 감소와 결합고무가 증가하였으나, 배합시간의 증가에 따른 점도의 변화는 배합온도가 낮을수록 크고, 결합고무의 증가속도는 온도가 높을수록 크게 나타났다. 낮은 온도인 $120^{\circ}C$인 경우 배합 시간이 바뀌어도 가교 속도는 거의 일정한 반면 10분 이하의 배합 시간에서는 분산이나 반응이 충분치 않음을 동적 점탄성과 분산 평가 등을 통하여 알 수 있었다. 반대로 높은 온도에서는 충분한 반응에 의하여 동적 점탄성 특성 등이 우수한 것으로 나타나지만 가교 속도나 물성의 변화 등이 매우 민감하고 과도한 결합고무의 형성 때문에 적합한 온도 조건이 아님을 확인하였고, 변성 S-SBR 실리카 배합에서는 $140^{\circ}C$에서 10분 정도의 배합이 분산과 실리카-실란 결합의 최적 조건임을 확인하였다.

Introduction: We investigated frameshift suppressor tRNAs previously reported to use five-base anticodon-codon interactions in order to provide a collection of frameshift suppressor tRNAs to the synthetic biology community and to develop modular frameshift suppressor logic devices for use in synthetic biology applications. Results and Discussion: We adapted eleven previously described frameshift suppressor tRNAs to the BioBrick cloning format, and built three genetic logic circuits to detect frameshift suppression. The three circuits employed three different mechanisms: direct frameshift suppression of reporter gene mutations, frameshift suppression leading to positive feedback via quorum sensing, and enzymatic amplification of frameshift suppression signals. In the course of testing frameshift suppressor logic, we uncovered unexpected behavior in the frameshift suppressor tRNAs. The results led us to posit a four-base binding hypothesis for the frameshift suppressor tRNA interactions with mRNA as an alternative to the published five-base binding model. Conclusion and Prospects: The published five-base anticodon/codon rule explained only 17 of the 58 frameshift suppression experiments we conducted. Our deduced four-base binding rule successfully explained 56 out of our 58 frameshift suppression results. In the process of applying biological knowledge about frameshift suppressor tRNAs to the engineering application of frameshift suppressor logic, we discovered new biological knowledge. This knowledge leads to a redesign of the original engineering application and encourages new ones. Our study reinforces the concept that synthetic biology is often a winding path from science to engineering and back again; scientific investigations spark engineering applications, the implementation of which suggests new scientific investigations.
