In this paper, the properties of the cement mortar modified with styrene acrylic ester copolymer were investigated. Expanded vermiculite as lightweight aggregate was used for making the polymer modified mortar test specimens. To study the effect of polymer-cement ratio and vermiculite-cement ratio on various properties, specimens were prepared by varying the polymer-cement and vermiculite-cement ratios. Tests of physical properties such as density, water absorption, thermal conductivity, three-point flexure and compressive tests were made on the specimens. Furthermore, a coupled thermal-structural finite element model of an entire corner wall was modelled in order to study the best material configuration. The wall is composed by a total of 132 bricks of $120{\times}242{\times}54$ size, joined by means of a contact-bonded model. The use of advanced numerical methods allows us to obtain the optimum material properties. Finally, comparisons of polymer-cement and vermiculite-cement ratios on physical properties are given and the most important conclusions are exposed.

It is generally agreed that strong linkages exist between rubber chains and reinforcing filler particles. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of rubber-filler attachments on the various mechanical properties of the rubber. In particular, the modulus and strength will be altered by these attachments. For this study, the curing properties are examined by means of ODR (Oscillating Disk Rheometer), the physical properties by means of Instrong. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. In the ODR test, the carbon black filled stock has shorter scorch time than gum stock and, the silica and clay filled stock has longer scorch time than gum stock. In the modulus, ten sile and swelling properties, the vulcanizates filled with carbon black had higher those values than inorganic filler loaded NR vulcanizates, but the rebound rate showed that the silica filled NR vulcanizates was lower than other inorganic filler contained NR vulcanizates and the ISAF filled NR vulcanizates was lower than other carbon block contained NR vulcanizates.

극한 조건에서도 탄성체의 특성을 발휘할 수 있는 자동차용 연료호스의 개발을 목적으로, FKM 불소고무에 금속산화물인 MgO를 첨가하여 함량에 따른 불소고무의 가황 특성, 물리적 성질, 내열성, 내연료성 및 열적 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. MgO는 $0{\sim}20phr$ 범위에서 혼련하였으며, 유동특성과 Mooney 점도를 측정한 결과, 미가황 고무의 가황 특성은 MgO의 양이 증가할수록 $t_{s2}$ 및 $T_{c90}$의 시간이 빨라지는 경향을 나타내었다. MgO의 함량이 증가함에 따라 경도 및 모듈러스 값은 조금씩 증가하였고, 인장강도 및 신장율은 조금씩 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 내열성 실험은 $130^{\circ}C,\;150^{\circ}C,\;170^{\circ}C$에서 70시간동안 각각 수행한 결과, 기본물성의 변화율은 온도차에 따라 변화폭이 상대적으로 적었다. 내연료유성 실험은 $40^{\circ}C$에서 70시간 동안 ASTM FUEL A, B, C, D에 대하여 각각 수행하였으며, FUEL A에 비하여 FUEL D로 갈수록 기본물성의 변화율 폭이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 TGA/DSC를 이용하여 산화마그네슘의 첨가에 따른 배합고무재료의 열적 특성도 연구하였다. FKM 고무재료에 대한 MgO의 최적배합비는 기본물성, 내열성, 내연료성 및 열분석 결과를 고려할 때 6 phr이 첨가된 시료가 고무재료의 규격 범위 내에서 가장 적합하였다.

Out door exposure to daylight and weather climate conditions can cause adverse effect on the properties of automotive plastic materials. The effects of sunlight exposure, especially ultra violet (UV) radiation, can break down the chemical bonds in a polymeric material. This degradation process is called photo-degradation and ultimately leads to color changes, cracking, chalking, the loss of physical properties and deterioration of other properties. To explore the effect of sunlight exposure on the automotive materials, this study investigated photo-oxidation degree and surface property change of molding parts by analytical methods. For the further study, accelerated weathering test methods are proposed, which can correlate with out door weathering, to predict long term performance of automotive plastic materials.

Most previous wave tests for concrete have been done to evaluate static material properties, and thus there are less works to investigate dynamic material characteristics of concrete, which should be few in Korea. The objective of this experimental work is to investigate dynamic material characteristics of concrete, such as dynamic elastic modulus, dynamic shear modulus, first resonant frequency, dynamic poisson's ratio and etc. A dynamic Signal Analyzer has been used to perform the wave analysis for various dynamic material properties of test specimen. First Fourier transform technique has been carried out on various wave data acquired by the Resonant Column method, which is a kind of nondestructive tests. Wave analysis has been performed based on KS F2437, which is similar to ASTM C607-71 and is identical to JIS A 1127-1976.

In this study, natural rubber latex foam was prepared in order to replace commercialized polyurethane foams as a car seat material. Physical properties of the latex foam were investigated and the light stability was improved. The latex foam was mixed in an aqueous solution state, and the degree of foaming and the accelerator ratios were appropriately controlled. Tensile properties, hysteresis and dynamic mechanical properties of the latex foam were measured to compare with those of polyurethane foams. UV light absorbers and radical scavengers were added for improving light stability of the latex foam. Xenon lamp test was conducted to investigate the effects of the reagents on light stability. Our results revealed that the prepared latex foam including a light absorber with an antioxidant showed excellent light stable performances.

가교 폴리에틸렌을 열을 가하여 노화시킨 후 구조 및 물성의 변화를 조사하였다. 가교 폴리에틸렌의 열적 산화 반응으로 카보닐 그룹이 형성됨을 X-선 광전자 분광법과 근적외선 분광법을 이용하여 확인하였다. 노화 시간이 길어질수록 1715 nm에서 관찰되는 카보닐 피이크가 정량적으로 증가하는 것을 근적외선 분광법을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 열화 시간에 따른 흡수 피이크의 선형적인 관계로부터 근적외선 분광법이 고분자 재료의 열화 과정을 감시하는데 적합한 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 노화에 의한 가교 결합의 발생과 그에 따른 물리적 성질의 변화를 TMA, 응력-변형 시험, 쇼어 경도 측정 방법을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 노화가 진행됨에 따라 유리 전이 온도가 110에서 132$^{\circ}C$로 증가함을 관찰하였으며, 인장률은 265에서 110%로 점차 감소하고 쇼어 D 경도는 32에서 50으로 크게 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Engine oil is a substance used for the lubrication of internal combustion systems. However, in some case, defects in engine systems may contaminate engine oil with fuel. Contaminated engine oil can cause problems in the normal functioning of a vehicle. In this study, we investigate the functional properties of engine oil contaminated with diesel fuel. The test results indicate that the engine oil contaminated with diesel fuel has low flash point, pour point, density, kinematic viscosity and cold cranking simulator value. The contaminated engine oil which has low plash point can cause fire and explosion accident. Furthermore, a four ball test indicates that the contaminated engine oil increases wear scar to poor lubricity. Moreover, we investigate the GC pattern using SIMDIST (simulated distillation) for determination of diesel in engine oil. The SIMDIST analytic result, diesel was detected at earlier retention time than engine oil in chromatogram. Thus the SIMDIST method can define whether engine oil is contaminated by diesel fuel or not. We can use the SIMDIST method for the diagnosis of oil condition instead of analyzing other physical properties that require many analytic instruments, large volume of oil sample and long analysis time.

암석의 동적물성은 내진설계의 동적해석에 필요한 물성이다. 본 연구에서는 충남 연기군 지역의 화강암 시험편을 대상으로 양단자유 공진주시험을 실시하여 동적물성인 동탄성계수, 동전단계수, 감쇠비 등의 특성을 분석하고, 역학적 물성과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 탄성파속도를 기준으로 동적물성을 분석한 결과, 탄성파속도가 빠를수록 동탄성계수와 동전단계수는 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 감쇠비는 비선형적으로 감소되는 것으로 조사되었다. 논문은 사인형태의 입사파에 대한 장점을 설명하고 또한 동하중에 대한 암석의 크기효과를 설명하고 있다.
