메탈로센 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (m-LLDPE)과 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (LDPE)을 용응 블렌딩 방법으로 블렌드를 제조하여 열적 거동 및 물성을 관찰하였다. LDPE/m-LLDPE1 블렌드는 LDPE조성이 50% 이상이면 두 개의 용융 피크가 관찰된 반면 다른 블렌드들은 단일한 용융 피크를 나타내었다. m-LLDPE에서 공단량체 함량이 감소할수록 용융 온도와 상대 결정화도가 증가하였다. 공단량체 함량이 2 wt%인 m-LLDPE1이 초기 탄성률이 가장 높게 관찰되었고, 공단량체 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 블렌드에서 조성에 따른 초기 탄성률의 변화는 상대 결정화도의 거동과 유사하게 나타났다. 블렌드의 파괴 신율은 LDPE/m-LLDPE1과 LDPE/m-LLDPE2 블렌드에서 평균값보다 낮은 파괴 신율을 나타내었었다. m-LLDPE2의 용융 지수가 가장 높게 관찰되었고 공단량체 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

The fracture mechanics investigation of the thermoplastic vulcanizates(TPV) from EPDM and PP/Ionomer ternary blends was performed in terms of the J-integral by measuring fracture energy via the locus method. The TPV from ternary blends consisting of EPDM, PP and ionomer were prepared in a laboratory integral mixer by blending and vulcanizing simultaneously. Vulcanization was performed with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and the composition of EPDM and PP was fixed at 50/50 by weight. Two kinds of poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMA) lonomers were used. The J-integral values at crack initiation, Jc, of the dynamically vulcanized EPDM and PP/EMA Ionomer ternary blends were affected by the cation types $(Na^+\;or\;Zn^{2+})$ and contents(5-20wt%) of the added EMA Ionomers. The ternary blend containing 20wt% zinc-neutralized EMA Ionomer and 1.0phr DCP showed the highest Jc values of the blends.

To explore the effects of intramolecular interactions within the copolymer on the phase separation behavior of polymer blends, copolymers having two different types of intramolecular interactions, i.e., intramolecular repulsion and intramolecular attraction were prepared . In this study, poly(styrene-co-methylmethacrylate) (P(S-MMA)) having intramolecular repulsion caused by positive interaction between styrene and MMA and poly(styrene-co-ethyl-methacrylate) (P(S-EMA)) and poly(styrene-co-cyclohexylmethacrylate) (P(S-CHMA)) having intramolecular attraction caused by negative interaction between styrene and methacrylate were blended with tetramethyl poly-carbonate (TMPC). The phase behavior of blends was examined as a function of copolymer composition and blend composition. TMPC formed miscible blends with styrenic copolymers containing less than certain amount of methacrylate. The phase separation temperature of TMPC blends with copolymer such as P(S-MMA) and P(S-EMA), first increases with methacrylate content, goes through a maximum and then decreases just prior to the limiting content of methacrylate for miscibility, while that of TMPC blends with P(S-CHMA) always decreases. The calculated interaction energy for TMPC-P(S-EMA) pair is negative and monotonically increases with EMA content of the copolymer. Such behavior contradicted the general notion that systems with more favorable energetic interactions have higher LCST, The detailed inspection of the lattice-fluid theory related to the phase behavior was performed to explain such behavior.

Each of the two polycarbonates (PC) of different molecular weights was blended with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) under high-shear rate processing to afford PC/ABS. Sizes of ABS dispersed phases and mechanical properties of PC/ABS blends were investigated and high-shear rate processing of PC/ABS was carried out by changing screw speed and processing time. Prepared specimens were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe morphology changes. Sizes of ABS dispersed phases in PC/ABS blends were observed to decrease gradually as screw speeds increased. Tensile strengths and elongations of specimens were investigated by universal testing method (UTM) to study the influence of molecular weight of PC exerting on PC/ABS blends. As a result, PC1/ABS blends (PC1: higher molecular weight PC) exhibited more strengthened properties than PC2/ABS (PC2: lower molecular weight PC). The tensile strength of PC1/ABS showed an increasing tendency when the screw speed increased, and the elongation did not show a significant decrease, but increased slightly with increasing shear time at a constant screw speed of 1000 rpm.

Poly(p-hydroxybenzoate) (PHB)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) 8/2공중합 폴리에스테르계 액정고분자와 poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) 및 poly(ethylene terephthalate)를 용융혼합하여 삼상계 블렌드물의 액정상 형성여부 및 기계적 성질을 조사하였다. PHB의 함량이 40 mo1%에서 급격한 점도의 감소로 토크의 값이 감소하였고, 인장강도와 초기 탄성율은 PHB의 함량이 증가함에 따라 액정고분자의 피브릴 형성으로 증가하였다. 섬유의 인장강도와 탄성율은 PHB의 함량과 권취속도를 증가시킴에 따라 증가하였고, 에스테르 교환반응은 용융혼합 시간에 따라 증가하였다. 에스테르 교환반응은 용융흔합물의 흔화성을 향상시키고, 동일 조성비의 단량체를 함유한 공중합체에서 나타나는 액정상을 형성하였다. PHB의 함량이 30 wt%에서는 부분적인 액정상이 나타나며, 40 wt%에서 삼상계 블렌드의 의사액정상이 나타났다.

이 논문에서는 폴리프로필렌/열방성 액정고분자 블렌드에 관한 연구 결과를 나타냈다. 기존의 연구에서 주로 쓰인 액정고분자 (Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer, TLCP)는 용융점이 대부분 270o0 이상으로 가공은 적어도 300oC 이상에서 가능하기 때문에, PP와의 블렌드 시 PP의 열분해를 피할 수 없다. 이 때문에 원하는 정도의 물성을 얻기 위해서는 과량의 TLCP를 첨가하여야 한다. 이 연구에서 고온용 TLCP 대신 융점이 220oC 정도 되는 새로운 TLCP를 사용하여 블렌드를 제조하였고, 그 특성을 관찰하였다. 연구 결과 기존 PP/TLCP 블렌드와 비교해 동등 이상의 물성을 보임을 관찰할 수 있었고, 이로서 새로운 저온용 TLCP가 PP의 강화제로 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

To modify the NBR rubber roll which has poor abrasion and chemical resistance, NBR/PVC blends were prepared in various composition ratios. First of all, their miscibility and vulcanization characteristics were investigated. Their abrasion and chemical resistant properties and physical properties were also studied. DSC thermograms for NBR/PVC blends show only one Tg in the entire composition range, demonstrating a perfect miscibility. In the vulcanization characteristics tested by rheometer, maximum torque decreases as PVC contents increased. In the investigation of physical properties of NBR/PVC blends, hardness increases and elongation decreases along with the increasing contents of PVC. On the other hands, tensile strength increases with the increasing contents of PVC up to 11.1 wt. %, and then decreases with higher contents of PVC. While the abrasion resistance of NBR/PVC blends was similar to that of NBR itself, the chemical resistance of NBR/PVC blends was superior to that of NBR.

주사슬에 triad 메소겐 단위와 butylene terephthalate (BT) 단위를 갖는 새로운 액정 중합체를 중축합에 의해서 합성하였다. 합성된 중합체는 nematic 액정상을 보였으며 액정상으로의 전이온도는 $260^{\circ}C$를 보였다. PBT 용액에서 in-situ 중합에 의해서 제조된 TLCP/PBT 블렌드들의 특성 조사는 DSC, TGA, SEM, XRD 그리고 DMTA를 이용하여 이루어 졌다. 블렌드들은 PBT 매트릭스내에서 $0.05{\sim}0.2{\mu}m$ 사이즈를 갖는 잘 분산된 TLCP상들을 보여 주었다. TLCP 농도가 5에서 20wt%로 증가함에 따라서 블렌드내의 순수한 PBT의 ${\Delta}Hm$은 증가하였다. 이는 TLCP가 PBT 매트릭스 내에서 조핵제의 역할을 하였기 때문이다. 블렌드의 기계적 성질들은 TLCP의 농도에 의존하였는데 이 또한 TLCP가 블렌드 내에서 보강제 역할을 하였기 때문이다. 액정상과 PBT 매트릭스 상간에 좋은 계면 접착력을 보여 주었으며 in-situ 중합에 의해서 제조된 블렌드는 용융 블렌딩에 의해서 제조된 블렌드들보다 더욱더 높은 기계적 성질과 잘 분산된 TLCP 도메인들을 보여 주었다.

The morphology and mechanical properties of the blends of a syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) and poly-styrene-block-poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-polystyrene copolymers (SEBS) with various polystyrene block contents are studied. Mechanical properties, especially elongation at break and impact strength (IS), of the blend depend upon the morphology and interfacial adhesion, which in rum are affected by the viscosity ratio of constituent components and the styrene block content in SEBS. The IS of a blend was affected by the combined effect of rubber content and the interfacial adhesion. A maximum IS was found for a blend with the weight fraction of the PS block in an SEBS of 0.18. The IS of blends with smaller weight fractions of the PS block exhibited lower due to poor interfacial adhesion between SPS/SEBS in spite of a larger amount of rubber block. On the other hand, the IS of blends with larger weight fraction of the PS block becomes smaller due to lower amounts of rubber block in spite of better interfacial adhesion.

Blends of silicone rubber (VMQ) and liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) were prepared by the melt mixing technique. Mechanical, XRD, thermal and dynamic mechanical investigations are reported for the pure silicone rubber and blends. The mechanical properties, viz. the tensile strength, tear strength and elongation at break, of the silicone rubber decreased with the addition of LCP. The SEM study on the tensile fractured surface of the blends revealed that they had a two phase structure, and that the failure was mainly due to fiber pull out, which suggests that the VMQ and LCP are incompatible in all of the proportions examined in this study. However, the FTIR study shows that there was a partial interaction between the VMQ and LCP, but which may not be sufficient to grip the fibrils under the applied load. In the XRD analysis, it was observed that the crystalline structure of the silicone rubber deteriorated in the presence of LCP. The DMA study suggested that the storage modulus of the silicone rubber was improved with the addition of LCP, due to the high modulus of the LCP phase. The thermal stability of the silicone rubber was greatly reduced by the addition of LCP, due to the latter having a thermal stability lower than that of silicone rubber.
