Polybutadiene (BR) was pyrolyzed at $540-860^{\circ}C$ and the effect of pyrolysis temperature on variations in the relative abundance of the major pyrolysis products (C4-, C5-, C6-, C7-, and C8-species) was investigated. Formation of the C4-, C5-, C6-, and C7-species competed with that of the C8-species. Relative intensity of the C8-species decreased with increasing pyrolysis temperature, while that of the C5-, C6-, and C7-species increased. Pyrolysis paths were became more complicated with increasing pyrolysis temperature. We suggested the operation of double bond migration and succeeding rearrangements for the formation of the C5- and C7-species and various rearrangements, including a double bond, for the formation of the C6-species at high temperature. The activation energies for the pyrolysis product ratios of(C5+C6+C7)/C4 and C8/C4 were used to explain the competition reactions to form the pyrolysis products.

Following our previous work, we have conducted further systematic studies to investigate the effects of reactive blending on the thermal and mechanical properties of blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and a liquid rubber, polybutadiene (LPB). The toughened PLAs were prepared by melt-blending the PLA with various contents (0-9 wt.%) of the LPB in the absence or presence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP), a radical initiator. It was found that the rubber domains were homogeneously dispersed at the nanoscale in the PLA matrix up to 9 wt.% of LPB thanks to the reactive blending in the presence of DCP. Owing to the compatibilization of PLA with LPB through reactive blending, the elongation and toughness of PLA was enhanced, while the hydrolytic degradation of PLA was reduced.

For the practical use as a biosensor, a rubber electrode bound by polybutadiene was newly devised for the determination of hydrogen peroxide. Then its electrochemical behaviors were investigated. The signal could be obtained at low electrode potential between 0.0 ~ -0.5 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) with a detection limit of $1.4{\times}10^{-4}M$ and its potential dependence was linear in the experimental range. Especially its Lineweaver-Burk plot showed a very good linearity giving the evidence of a good enzyme immobilization on the surface of the electrode. And mechanical stability of the electrode resulted from using rubber binder presented a new possibility for the practical use of biosensor.

In this study, we investigate the thermal and mechanical properties of composites comprising ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and polybutadiene (PB) obtained using carbon black (CB) as a reinforcing and compatibilizing filler. Owing to the significance of elastomeric materials in various industrial applications, blending of EPDM and PB has emerged as a strategic method to optimize the material properties for specific applications. This study offers insights into the blend composition, its microstructure, and the resulting macroscopic behaviors, focusing on the synergetic effects of composite materials. Furthermore, this study delves into curing and rheological behaviors, crosslink densities, and mechanical, thermal, and elastic properties of the elastomeric composites. Through systematic exploration, we believe that this study will be beneficial to material scientists and engineers working on developing advanced elastomeric composites.

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) temperature studies were performed to examine the microstructural changes that occur in annealing process of the thin films of 1,2-polybutadiene (1,2-PBu)/palladium chloride (PdCl2) complex. The disappearance of the infrared absorption intensities at 1640, 1418, 994 and 910 cm-1 signifies the consumption of 1,2-vinyl groups of 1,2-PBu. The progressive loss of unsaturation and production of methyl groups as a function of temperature were identified by the enhanced infrared absorption intensities at 1447 and 1375 cm-1. The loss of pendent carbon-carbon double bond is considered to involve both palladium-catalyzed addition reaction and thermally induced cyclization.

고체상태 $^{13}C$ NMR을 이용하여 폴리부타디엔 고무(BR) 가황체의 정성 및 정량분석을 행하였다. TBBS로 촉진된 기존의 충진 BR 가황체에서는 올레핀성 이중결합에의 부가반응과 이중결합 옆의 $\alpha$ 위치에서의 치환반응이 동시에 일어났다. 또한 반응 초기에는 이중결합 옆의 $\alpha$ 위치에서의 치환반응은 이중결합에의 부가반응보다 빠르게 진행되었다. 한편 과가류(overcure) 시간 동안 이중결합-부가 폴리설파이드 구조는 5각형 및 6각형 고리 구조로 변형되는 것으로 추정되었다. 이러한 사슬 변형은 과가류 시간에 발생하는 화학적 가교 밀도와 상관되었다.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis of nonpolar polymeric materials is affected by the sample preparation as well as the matrix and cationizing agent. This study examined the influence of silver salt types on the MALDI analysis of polybutadiene (PB). Silver trifluoroacetate (AgTFA), silver benzoate (AgBz), silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$), and silver p-toluenesulfonate (AgTS) were used as the silver salts to compare the MALDI mass spectra of PB. The mixture solution of PB and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB), as a matrix dissolved in THF, was spotted on the sample plate and dried. A droplet of the aqueous silver salt solution was placed onto the mixture. The mass spectrum with AgBz showed the clear $[M+Ag]^+$ ion distribution of PB while the mass spectrum with AgTFA did not show $[M+Ag]^+$ ions but only silver cluster ions. The mass spectra with $AgNO_3$ and AgTS did not show a clear $[M+Ag]^+$ ion distribution. The difference in the formation of $[M+Ag]^+$ ions of PB depending on the silver salts was attributed to the silver cation transfer reaction between the silver salt and the matrix (DHB). The mass spectrum showed a clear $[M+Ag]^+$ ion distribution of PB when the conjugate acid of the silver salt was less acidic than the matrix.
