Wet masterbatch (WMB) technology is studied to develop high-content and highly disperse silica-filled compounds. This technology refers to the solidification of surface-modified silica with a rubber solution or latex. Until now, researchs based on styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/silica WMB has been mainly performed. However, the blending of SBR/silica WMB and BR is not known and is currently under research and development. Therefore, in this study, the BR blending method suitable for emulsion (ESBR)/silica WMB is investigated by measuring their cure characteristics and the mechanical and dynamic viscoelastic properties. As a result, it was confirmed that the blending of ESBR/silica WMB and BR/silica dry masterbatch is most appropriate. However, it showed a disadvantage compared with the conventional mixing method, which was due to the surfactant remained and the sulfuric acid used as the coagulant.

액상 이소프렌 고무에 무수 말레간(MAH)을 그라프팅시킨 후 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol (TMPO)를 반응시켜 hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS)가 함유된 새로운 고분자형 광안정제를 합성하고, SBR에 대한 광안정제로서의 특성을 관찰하였다. 새로운 고분자형 광안정제의 조성과 물리적 성질은 적정법, GPC 그리고 열중량 분석에 의하여 분석하였다. SBR의 광산화 반응에 대한 고분자형 광안정제의 효과를 254nm 자외선 조사에 따른 자외선 흡광도의 변화, 관능기 변화 그리고 잔막율로서 관찰한 결과, 새로운 고분자형 광안정제를 첨가함으로써 광산화 반응이 효과적으로 억제되었다. 또한, 고부자형 광안정제의 추출내성은 저분자량의 모델 화합물에 비하여 훨씬 우수하였으며, 고분자형 광안정제와 SBR의 상용성은 TMPO가 SBR 필름 표면에 균일하게 고루 분산되어 있어서 매우 우수하였다.

NR, NBR, and CR rubber were prepared by mixing filler in various ratios. Their vulcanization characteristics and thermal properties were studied. Vulcanization characteristics were investigated using cure curve that had been obtained from oscillating disk rheometer study. The Arrhenius law is known to describe the relationship between cure time and temperature of most elastomers. Curing could be done by the addition of sulfur, peroxides, and proper acceleratores. The optimum cure time that affects desirable values of modulus and tensile strength of the vulcanizate is taken as t90 as measured by a rheometer. Rubbers were cured in the rheometer at temperatures ranging from $130^{\circ}C\;to\;180^{\circ}C$ in order to check the validity of the curing system used. A linear relationship between ln(ts2) and ln(t90) was found for all elastomers. The term sensitivity has been used to describe the relationship between a change of ts2 to the corresponding change of t90 due to an increment of temperature. This is related to the formula of the compound.

In this study, we investigated for synthetic hydrotalcite in chloroprene rubber foam. Experiments were carried out to find the optimum content ratio by controlling the contents of MgO and Hydrotalcite. Swelling test in toluene immersion was made to measure the crosslinking density of CR foams, and the cure properties were investigated with flat die rheometer and Mooney viscosity. The difference of hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break were observed after immersing in 7% NaCl or 21% NaCl solutions for a day and four days. In addition, the volume change and water content remaining in CR foam were measured after immersing NaCl solution. As content of MgO increased, the value of the cure torque tended to increase, but it was almost constant above 2phr of MgO. However, the Mooney viscosity decreased with increasing MgO content. The crosslinking density, determined by the swelling ratio, showed that the CR compound without MgO showed a higher degree of swelling. When the content of hydrotalcite/MgO was 3:2, it was the lowest volume change of CR form. Also, As the content of hydrotalcite decreased, the difference of mechanical properties before and after immersion NaCl solution increased.

Emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber silica wet masterbatch (ESBR silica WMB) technology was studied to develop highly filled and highly dispersed silica compounds, involving the preparation of a composite by co-coagulating the modified silica and the rubber latex in a liquid phase. Previous studies have shown that when manufacturing ESBR silica WMB/Butadiene silica dry masterbatch (BR silica DMB) blend compounds, preparing BR silica dry masterbatch and mixing it with ESBR silica WMB gave excellent results. However, WMB still has the problem of lower crosslink density due to residual surfactants. Therefore, in this study, tetrabenzylthiuram disulfide (TBzTD) was added instead of diphenyl guanidine (DPG) in the ESBR silica WMB/BR silica DMB blend compounds and sulfur/CBS contents were increased to evaluate their cure characteristics, crosslink densities, mechanical properties, and dynamic viscoelastic properties. TBzTD was found to be more effective in increasing the crosslink density and to produce superior properties compared to DPG. In addition, with increasing sulfur/CBS contents, mechanical properties and rolling resistance were enhanced due to high crosslink density, but the abrasion resistance was not significantly changed because of the toughness.

In this study, the effects of the type and content of silica on the mechanical and tear properties of chloroprene rubber (CR), which is mainly used as a jacket material for mining cables, were studied. The crosslinking density (ΔM) and reinforcing factor (α_f) defined using cure characteristics increased with increasing silica content, whereas the cure rate decreased. The hardness, tensile strength, and modulus of the CR compounds increased depending on the silica content and structural development. The reinforcing behavior of the silica-filled CR compounds according to the silica type and content showed the best fit with the Thomas equation of the predictive model. Tear strength was evaluated using two standard test methods, ASTM D470 and DIN VDE 0472-613, and the results were compared. The tear strength increased as the silica content increased, regardless of the test method, and the different tear strengths obtained by the two standard test methods showed a linear relationship with each other, indicating a high correlation.

Automobile tire has very complicated shape and is composed of rubber, steel cord and ply cord, Tread pattern of tire is very essential for the basic characteristics of tire, such as braking, acceleration and comfortableness. Tire components such as tread, sidewall, and spex are prepared by forcing uncured rubber compound through an extruder to shape during curing process. Because of its complexity of shape, adaptive mesh refinement was used for the analysis of tire tread. Effects of forming variables were evaluated.

The kinetics of azo-coupling reaction of N-acetyl-H-acid (1-acetamino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3, 6-disulfonic acid) with several heterocyclic diasonium compounds such as diazotiged 3-aminopyridine, 3-aminoquinoline, 8-aminoauinoline and aniline was studied. It was found that reactions proceeded at remarkably different rate. Reaction rate was in increasing order; 3-aminopyridine, 3-aminoquinoline, 8-aminoauinoline and aniline. And the activation energies were 9.62, 10.10, 10.39, 10.70 Kcal/mole, respectively. Especially, the rate constant of 3-aminopyridine was 100 times larger than that of benzene diasonium compound even in strong acidity. Hammett plot was also made of the rate constants obtained against the heterocyclic substituent constants reported in the literature. A good linear relationship was obtained and the reaction constant of N-acetyl H-acid was calculated to be 3.14.

전기공학분야의 여러다른 부분과 같이 전력케이블 분야에서도 수많은 연구와 아울러 특히 19세기후반에 전력케이블의 제작에 성공한 것은 20세기에 들어와서 케이블과 이에 관련된 모든 기술이 빠른 속도로 발달하게된 주원동력이 되었다고 보아도 과언은 아니다. 비록 19세기 후반에 고무(rubber)를 사용하여 케이블 절연 하였지만, 그이후 약 70여년이상을 Impergnated paper(오일복합수지(oil compound resin)나 오일(oil)을 종이에 스며들게한 후 그 종이를 절연재료로 이용함)를 전력케이블 절연재료로 많이 사용하여 왔다. 아울러 OF cable의 제조기술도 향상되어 현재 매우 높은 전압과 상당한 전력용량를 충족시키는 전력케이블로서 발달을 계속하고 있다. 1960년대에 들어서서 extruded polymer material 이 전력케이블의 절연재료로 쓰이게 되었는데 현저하게 주로 쓰이는 재료로 폴리에틸렌인대, 그대로 순수한 상태로 또는 어떤 처리를 하여 쓰기도 한다. 그러나 EPR(ethylene propylene rubber)도 역시 개발중에 있다. Extruded synthetic insulation을 사용한 케이블은 현재 모든 필요한 전류와 전압을 망라하여 널리 쓰이고 있으며 다른재료를 사용한 케이블 보다 설치하기에 쉽고 사용법이 비교적 간단하고, 또한 전력망(network)에서의 신뢰서이도 높은 것으로 나타나 매우 만족스런 재료로 인정받고 있다.
