Aqueous emulsion of polyurethane (PU) ionomers were reinforced with hydrophobic nanosilica to give composites. The aqueous emulsion was stable and the particle size increased as the content of hydrophobic nanosilica was increased. The reinforcing effect of nanosilica in mechanical properties of these composites were examined by dynamic mechanical and tensile tests, and the Shore A hardness was measured. Enhanced thermal and water resistance and marginal reduction in transparency of these composites were observed compared with pristine polymer. These results were similar with those of our previous studies on waterborne PU/organoclay nanocomposites.

High internal phase emulsions are highly concentrated emulsion systems consisting of a large volume of dispersed phase above 0.74. The rheological properties of high internal phase water-in-oil emulsions were measured conducting steady shear, oscillatory shear and creep/recovery experiments. It was found that the yield stress is inversely proportional to the drop size with the exponent of values between 1 and 2. Since the oil phase contains monomeric species, microcellular foams can easily be prepared from high internal phase emulsions. In this study, the microcellular foams combining a couple of thickeners into the conventional formulation of styrene and water system were investigated to understand the effect of viscosity ratio on cell size. Cell size variation on thickener concentration could be explained by a dimensional analysis between the capillary number and the viscosity ratio. Compression properties of foam are important end use properties in many practical applications. Crush strength and Young's modulus of microcellular foams polymerized from high internal phase emulsions were measured and compared from compression tests. Of the foams tested in this study, the foam prepared from the organoclay having reactive group as an oil phase thickener showed outstanding compression properties.

One-pack cross-linkable nanocomposites of waterborne methyl ethyl ketoxime (MEKO)-blocked aromatic polyurethane dispersion (BPUD) reinforced with organoclay (quaternary ammonium salt of Cloisite 25A) were synthesized by the acetone process using 4,4'-methylenedi-p-phenyl diisocyanate (MDl), poly(tetramethylene) glycol (PTMG), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA), and methyl ethyl ketoxime (MEKO). Particle size, viscosity, and storage stability of these nanocomposites were investigated. TEM and XRD studies confirmed that the silicate layers of organophilic clay were exfoliated and intercalated at a nanometer-scale in the BPUD matrix.

유기화 클레이(organically modified layered silicates)가 보강된 SBR 나노 복합체를 라텍스법(latex method)에 의해서 제조하였다. 유기화 MMT는 dodecylamine으로 유기화한 DA-MMT와 dimethyldodecylamine으로 유기화한 DDA-MMT의 두 가지를 제조하였다. 유기화 클레이의 층간거리와 분산도를 확인하기 위하여 XRD와 TEM촬영을 하였다 Na-MMT, DA-MMT, DDA-MMT의 XRD 회절 패턴을 분석한 결과 Na-MMT는 $2{\theta}=7.2^{\circ}$로써 층간거리가 $12.3{\AA}$, DA-MMT는 $2{\theta}=5.1^{\circ}$로 층간거리가 $17{\AA}$를 나타내었으며, DDA-MMT의 경우, 회절 피크는 $2{\theta}=4.8^{\circ}$로써. 층간거리는 $18.4{\AA}$으로 나타났다. 이는 DDA-MMT와 DA-MMT가 각각 5 phr 첨가된 SBR 나노 복합체의 TEM 결과에서도 확인할 수 있었다. SBR 나노 복합체에 filler system (carbon black/silica/OLS)을 적용 후 시편을 제조하였다. 제조된 시편의 동적 점탄성 평가 (DMTA)는 $-20^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 이루어졌으며, loss factor (tan $\delta$)의 거동을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 타이어 트래드용 컴파운드를 대상으로 할 경우, 카본블랙과 실리카의 혼용비가 35:25일 때, 빗길 제동특성과 연비특성을 대변하는 $0^{\circ}C$와 $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$에서의 tan $\delta$가 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 시스템에 실리카의 일정 부분을 DDA-MMT($0{\sim}10phr$)로 대체할 경우, $0^{\circ}C$의 tan $\delta$값은 높아지는 반면, $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$의 tan $\delta$값은 감소하였다.

에폭시-층상실리케이트 나노콤포지트의 여러 가지 특성인 전기적, 기계적, 구조적 특성에 대해서 많은 연구가 진행되었고, 그에 대한 특성 향상을 가져왔다. 그러나 절연성능에 대한 평가는 우수하지만 열적특성 중열전도에 대한 영향은 그히 부족한 상태였다. 열적특성은 열적열화의 원인이 되어 신뢰성에 크게 영향을 준다. 여러종류 Organoclay(10A, 15A, 20A, 30B, 93A)의 에폭기-층상실리케이트 나노콤포지트 Tg 분석결과 10A의 경우 우수한 열적특성을 나타내었다. DNA 점탄성 및 기계적 손실측정에서도 10A의 경우 고온부($140^{\circ}C$) 탄성계수 및 기계적손실 피르가 가장작고, 고온으로 이동되어 발생된 경우로 열적 특성이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 열전도 측정결과 강력초음파를 적용한 경우와 미적용의 경우 열전도측정으로 볼 때 전반적으로 초음파 적용 경우 열전도향상이 크게 증가된 결과를 얻었다. 향후 몰드 및 함침절연의 전력기기 적용시 유용한 자료로 이용이 가능하여, 더욱더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The effects of pH on the sequential sorption/desorption of chlorinated phenols (2-chlorophenol, 2.4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol) in HDTMA-montmorillonite were investigated by maintaining pH 4.85 or 9.15 in the sequential batch sorption and desorption experiments. The chlorinated phenols are hydrophobic ionizable orginic compounds; they can exist as either neutral (pH << pKa) or anionic (pH >> pKa) forms. Among the tested chlorinated phenols, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol showed the highest sorption affinity at pH 4.85 as expected by the $K_{ow}$ . Neutral speciation at pH 4.85 exhibited higher sorption affinity than anionic speciation at pH 9.15. Our results indicates that desorption of chlorinated phenols is strongly dependent on pH of the aqueous phase. Freundlich model was used to analyze the single-solute sorption/desorption results. The ideal adsorbed solution theory(IAST) was employed to predict the hi-solute sorption/desorption equilibria.

A large number of studies on the various characteristics of epoxy-layered silicate nanocomposites, such as electric and mechanical, morphology have been conducted and contributed to improve their characteristics. However, studies on the effects of its thermal conductivities in the thermal properties are not enough, even though there are some excellent evaluations for its insulation performances. Thermal properties will cause thermal degradation and significantly affect the reliability of these epoxy-layered silicate nanocomposites. In the results of the analysis of epoxy-layered silicate nanocomposites $T_g$ for various types of organoclays (10A, 15A, 20A, 30B, and 93A), it showed an excellent thermal property of 10A. Also, it represented low values in storage modulus and mechanical Tan (Delta) at a high temperature section 140$^{\circ}C$ and excellent thermal properties due to its movement to the high temperature section in the case of the property of 10A in the measurement of DMA elastics and mechanical losses. In the results of the measurement of thermal conductivities, power ultrasonic applications represented a significant increase in thermal conductivities in the case of the applications of power ultrasonic and planetary centrifugal mixers. Based on these results, it is necessary to perform related studies because it can be applied as useful materials for future power facilities applications in mold and impregnate insulation.

In this paper, we discuss design considerations for an n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with a lateral asymmetric channel (LAC) doping profile. We employed a 0.35 ${\mu}M$ standard complementary MOSFET process for fabrication of the devices. The gates to the LAC doping overlap lengths were 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 ${\mu}M$. The drain current ($I_{ON}$), transconductance ($g_m$), substrate current ($I_{SUB}$), drain to source leakage current ($I_{OFF}$), and channel-hot-electron (CHE) reliability characteristics were taken into account for optimum device design. The LAC devices with shorter overlap lengths demonstrated improved $I_{ON}$ and $g_m$ characteristics. On the other hand, the LAC devices with longer overlap lengths demonstrated improved CHE degradation and $I_{OFF}$ characteristics.

Polypropylene/layered silicate nanocomposites containing maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene were prepared by melt compounding and their rheological behavior was investigated in shear flow. Transient and steady shear flows were simulated numerically by using the K-BKZ integral constitutive equation along with experimentally determined damping functions under dynamic oscillatory and step strain shear flows. Nonlinear shear responses were predicted with the K-BKZ constitutive equation using two different damping functions such as the Wagner and PSM models. It was observed that PP-g-MAH compatibilized PP/layered silicate nanocomposites have stronger and earlier shear thinning and higher steady shear viscosity than pure PP resin or uncompatibilized nanocomposites at low shear rate regions. Strong damping behavior of the PP/layered silicate nanocomposite was predicted under large step shear strain and considered as a result of the strain-induced orientation of the organoclay in the shear flow. Steady shear viscosity of the pure PP and uncompatibilized nanocomposite predicted by the K-BKZ model was in good agreement with the experimental results at all shear rate regions. However, the model was inadequate to predict the steady shear viscosity of PP-g-MAH compatibilized nanocomposites quantitatively because the K-BKZ model overestimates strain-softening damping behavior for PP/layered silicate nanocomposites.

The aims of this study were to investigate the intercalation of polymer chains with organoclays and improve the thermo-mechanical properties of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) hybrids by comparing PBT hybrids synthesized using two different organoclays. The organoclays; dodecyltriphenylphosphonium-montmorillonite ($C_{12}PPh-MMT$) and dodecyltriphenylphosphonium-mica ($C_{12}PPh-Mica$), were used to fabricate the PBT hybrid fibers. Variations in the properties of the hybrid fibers with the organoclays within the polymer matrix, as well as the draw ratio (DR), are discussed. The thermo-mechanical properties and morphologies of the PBT hybrid fibers were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and mechanical tensile properties analysis. The nanostructures of the hybrid fibers were determined using both scanning and transmission electron microscopies, which showed some of the clay layers to be well dispersed within the matrix polymer, although some clustered or agglomerated particles were also detected. The thermal properties of the hybrid fibers were found to be better than those of the pure PBT fibers at a DR = 1. The tensile mechanical properties of the $C_{12}PPh-MMT$ hybrid fibers were found to worsen with increasing DR. However, the initial moduli of the $C_{12}PPh-Mica$ hybrid fibers were found to slightly increase on increasing the DR from 1 to 18.
