This study aims to synthesis the self-cleaning fibers. The nano-titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) were blend with the polypropylene (grade 561R) at 1wt%, 3wt%, 5wt%, 10wt%, 15wt% and 20wt%. The $TiO_2$-fibers were obtained from single screw extruder. The mechanical, thermal, rheology and self-cleaning properties were also investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength of the $nTiO_2$-PP fibers decreased with increasing of the amount of $TiO_2$. The presents of the $TiO_2$ in the PP fibers significantly showed the improving of the self-cleaning properties under sunlight and 20 watt of UV radiation. The $TiO_2$-PP fibers in presents of $TiO_2$ 20wt% showed the best results of self-cleaning under 5 hours of the sunlight which the similar results were found under 5 hours of 20 watts of UV radiation.

In this study, the fire resistance test was carried out with a parameter such as fiber(PP+NY) mixed ratio on high strength concrete with 80MPa, and the spalling resistance property was evaluated. Concrete material test was carried out with a parameter such as fiber(PP+NY) mixed ratio(0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%) of high strength concrete with 80MPa. Although the flowability and the strength capacity were delicately decreased with a increase of fiber mixed ratio, they satisfied the target limits. As the spalling resistance property after the fire resistance test of 3 hours, the spalling was partly shown on the high strength concrete with fiber(PP+NY) mixed ratio of 0% but, wasn't shown on the high strength concrete with fiber(PP+NY) mixed ratio of 0.05% ~ 0.2%.

폴리프로필렌(PP)/폴리카보네이트(PC) 블렌드의 유변학적 고찰을 통해 블렌드의 수 축현상과 분상상의 변형의 연관성을 연구했다. 블렌드의 수축현상은 압축과정에서 변형됐던 분산상이 고온에서 다시 원래의 무변형 상태로 복귀하면서 나타나는 탄성변형의 풀림으로 추정되고 압출팽윤의 데이터와도 부합된다. 압출온도를 최대한 낮게 해서(25$0^{\circ}C$) 제조한 블 렌드의 경우가 최대한 높게 한 경우 (29$0^{\circ}C$)보다 수축이더 큰 사실을 설명하기 위하여 순수 PC와 PP의 전단점도비와 신장점도비를 측정 비교한 결과 두 값이 공히 높은 온도의 경우 가 오히려 작게 되어 점성에 의한 분산상의 전단변형이나 신장변형이 수축의 원인이 아니라 는 것을 알아다. 한편 법선응력과 전단응력의 데이터로부터 얻은 물질풀림시간의 비는 낮은 온도의 경우가 작아서 수축현상이 분산상의 탄성에 의한 변형이라는 것을 확인했다.

The surface and volume resistivity in the polymers, PE(polyethylene) and PP(polypropylene) mixtures are tested and measured by the ASTM D257(KS M3015) standard. Humidity effects on surface and volume resistivity in two polymers have been studied qualitatively at room temperature. The results of resistivity in these polymers show that the values of surface resistivity (and volume resistivity) at the humidity of 90% are remarkably small compared with those at the humidity of 50%, independing on applied voltage. When we varied the humidity in two polymers, it was found to takes many hours to recover into original surface resistivity (and volume resistivity) of these polymers.

Plasma surface coating is applied to the wood powder to improve its bonding and dispersion with the polypropylene(PP). Some mechanical test results and visual inspection indicates the good compatibility between the wood powder and the PP, and relatively good interfacial adhesion between wood powder and PP matrix was seen. Also, this method is considered as a non-toxic process as compared to other direct chemical method.

Nowadays, plastic industry has needed to produce parts that require high precision and quality. To make a high precision and quality part, before injection molding, plastic material in investigated about their properties such as shrinkage, warpage, etc. In this study, experiments were conducted with PP(polypiopylene) to figure out shrinkage behavior according to three type aspect ratio of samples. The injection speed that affects on shear late, molecular orientation within plastic part was determined as main variable of experiment. As a result of experimental study, part shrinkage had a tendency to be decreased by increasing injection speed and aspect ratio of samples.

PE(Polyethylene)와 PP(Polypropylene)의 sheet 에 $Co^{60}{\gamma}$-ray 선원을 실온, 대기 중에서 10 kGy, 30 kGy, 50 kGy의 방사선량으로 조사시키고 습도 분포에 따른 표면 및 체적 저항을 측정한 결과 방사선이 조사되지 않은 시료와 방사선이 조사된 시료와의 저항 값은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 습도 효과에 따른 변화는 습도 분포가 높을수록 저항 값은 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다.

The objective of the paper is to experimentally investigate the effect of commercially avaliable fiber types such as polypropylene (PP), nylon (NY), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cellulose (CL) on the engineering properties of concrete for pavement application. The results, showed the fluidity tends to decrease with fibers addition compared to that of plain concrete. As for the effect of fiber types on fluidity loss, use of NY appear to give the most favorable results among all of the fiber types investigated in this study while the effect of the fibers on air content was negligible. For the properties of hardened concrete, compressive and flexural strengths increased with fibers compared to plain concrete. The contribution of NY fibers to strength was the highest followed in the order by NY, PVA, PP, and CL. However, in the case of the splitting tensile strength, its values were increased with NY and PP only. For porosity based on MIP(mercury intrusion penetration) method, the number of around 1 was observed when NY was mixed resulting in increased cumulated amounts of porosity compared with that of plain mix. Thus, based on the consideration of fluidity and strength it was found that the addition of NY fiber showed the optimal results under the conditions applied in this study.

The purpose of this study was to enhance bond performance between recycled PET (polyethylene telephthalat) fiber and cement composites through hydrophilic treatment using maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene(mPP). The mPP with various concentration of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% to determine effect on bond behavior of recycled PET fiber were applied as experimental variables. Dog bone shaped specimens according to JCI SF-8 was applied to evaluate the bond strength and pullout energy. The results showed increased bond strength and pullout energy as concentration of mPP. Concentration of 15% mPP showed the most effective results while 20% showed reduced performance results. Because 15% mPP ensures perfect coating while 20% makes thick coating area that resulted in crack propagation and consequent separation of PET fiber and coated area during pullout load occurred. Enhancement mechanism of bond performance of recycled PET fiber and cement composites with each concentration of mPP could be conformed through investigation of microstructure of fiber surface.

Various characteristics of the object being lifted are known to affect the biomechanical, physiological, and psychophysical stresses. The object characteristics to be considered in the design process of lifting tasks are weight, shape, stiffness, and availability of handles and similar coupling devices. In this study, a prototype Polypropylene laminated bag with carrying handles was designed to decrease the physical stress of people who handle these bags. Physiological and psychophysical approaches as well as subjective ratings were applied to evaluate the effects of handles provided on the designed PP laminated bag. Statistical analysis showed that the VO2, heart rate, blood pressure, and Borg-RPE score for PP laminated fertilizer bag with carrying handles were significantly lower than those bags without handles. Moreover, Maximum Acceptable Lifting Endurance Time(MALET) measure, newly developed in this study, for bags with handles was significantly higher than those for bags without handles. It is thus recommended that the various types of bags and boxes be equipped with handles to reduce the musculoskeletal, physiological, psychophysical, and subjective perceived stresses.
