내충격성 폴리스티렌 (HIPS)의 내충격성에 영향을 주는 중요한 요소 중의 하나는 분산된 고무상 입자의 크기 및 입도분포이다. 본 연구에서는 반응조건이 HIPS의 고무상 입자 크기 및 입도분포에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 HIPS를 중합 제조한 다음 고무함량, 교반속도 및 전중합 시간에 따른 고무상 입도분포 및 형태구조를 고찰하였다. 입도분석기로 분석한 결과, 톨루엔을 분산용매로 사용한 경우 열처리 온도가 낮을수록, 열처리 시간이 짧을수록 팽윤의 영향으로 고무상의 평균 입자경이 커졌지만, MEK의 경우에는 열처리 과정이 없어도 보다 합당한 입도분포를 얻을 수 있었다. 고무함량이 증가함에 따라 고무상의 평균 입자경은 뚜렷하게 커졌지만 고무함량이 적은 경우에는 교반속도가 증가하여도 평균 입자경은 그다지 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 하지만 교반속도가 커짐에 따라 고무상 내의 폴리스티렌 포획입자는 크기가 균일해짐을 확인하였다. 또한 전중합시간에 따른 입도분포의 변화를 고찰한 결과 전중합 시간이 길어질수록 보다 작은 입도분포를 얻을수 있었다.

Much quantity of anti-tracking agent, ATH is added to the silicone rubber for the protection of silicone rubber against surface discharge. Hydrophobicity recovery properties of silicone rubber could be different by the content, surface treatment state and particle size of ATH. Because hydrophobicity of silicone rubber is depend much on the surface state of ATH. In this paper, the properties of silicone rubber is investigated according to the addition of different particle size of ATH to the silicone rubber. Hydrophobicity recovery properties and arc resistance of silicone rubber were investigated according to the addition of different particle size of ATH. Hydrophobicity recovery properties of silicone rubber were evaluated by the measurement of contact angle.

Environmental factors affect parts of the automobile. When dust particles are embedded, specially, friction and wear of the rubber-seal in automobile chassis system are increased. Increase in friction and wear leads to weakness of component and reduction of mechanical life. In this study, the wear characteristics of rubber-seal for inflow of dust particles are investigated. Silica($SiO_2$) and alumina($Al_2O_3$) particles are used as a dust particle because these particles are main elements of dust particles. The sliding wear tester are used for investigate the wear characteristics of rubber-seal. If the single dust particle($SiO_2$) is embedded in the rubber-seal component, the influence of dust particle size is more than that of inflow rate on the wear characteristics of rubber-seal. If the mixed dust particles are embedded in the rubber-seal component, the wear rate is increased as the rate of alumina that has a bigger hardness is increased. If the mixed dust particles that have different hardness are embedded in the rubber-seal component, the influence of particle size is more than that of particle hardness.

Monodisperse composite latex particles with size of ca. 300 nm, which consist ofn-butyl acrylate as a soft phase and methyl methacrylate as a hard phase with different morphology, were synthesized by seeded multi-stage emulsion polymerization. Three types of composite latex particles including random-, core/shell-, and gradient-type particles were obtained by using different monomer feeding methods during semi-batch emulsion polymerization. Effect of poly(butyl acrylate)-poly(methyl methacrylate) rubber particle morphology on the mechanical and rheological properties of rubber toughened poly(methyl methacrylate) was investigated. Among three different rubber particles, the gradient-type rubber particle showed better toughening effect than others. No significant variation of rheological property of poly(methyl methacrylate)/rubber blends was observed for the different rubber particle morphology.

Silicone rubber has very excellent chemical stability and hydrophobicity. A hydrophobic surface can prevent the formation of continuous water films on the surface in wet and heavily contaminated conditions. This phenomenon contributes to the suppression of leakage current and partial discharges on insulator surfaces. Silicone rubber has been used much for housing materials of polymer insulators. ATH is added to the silicone rubber for improvement of its resistance against surface discharge. In this paper, ATH with different particle size and content was added to the silicone rubber during compounding. Silicone rubber was deteriorated by a corona treatment. Hydrophobicity recovery rate after corona treatment and arc resistance of silicone rubber were investigated. Hydrophobicity recovery rate of silicone rubber was evaluated by the measurement of contact angle. Arc resistance was evaluated by measuring weight loss of silicone rubber after arc resistance test. It was observed that the hydrophobicity recovery rate and arc resistance of silicone rubber were different when different particle size and content of ATH were added.

In order to study the effect of rubber particle size and admixture on the frost resistance of self-compacting concrete, three self-compacting concrete specimens with equal volume replacement of fine aggregate by rubber particles of different particle sizes were prepared, while conventional self-compacting concrete was made as a comparison specimen. The degradation law of rubber aggregate self-compacted concrete under freeze-thaw cycles was investigated by fast-freezing method test. The results show that the rubber aggregate has some influence on the mechanical properties and freeze-thaw durability of the self-compacting concrete. With the increase of rubber aggregate, the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete gradually decreases, and the smaller the rubber aggregate particle size is, the smaller the effect on the compressive strength of the matrix; rubber aggregate can improve the frost resistance of self-compacting concrete, and the smaller the rubber particle size is, the more obvious the effect on the improvement of the frost resistance of the matrix under the same dosage. Through the research of this paper, it is recommended to use 60~80 purpose rubber aggregate and the substitution rate of 10% is chosen as the best effect.

폴리스티렌의 취약한 성질을 개선한 내충격정 폴리스티렌 (HIPS)의 내충격성에 영향을 주는 요소는 분산된 고무상 입자의 크기 및 입도분포, 분자량, 형태구조, 그래프트율 등이다. 이에 따라 HIPS의 물성은 영향을 받으므로 이를 조절하거나 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 HIPS의 벌크-용액중합에서 용매함량이 고무입자의 형태구조 및 입도분포, 최종 물성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 먼저 중합 진행에 따른 분산상의 입도분포를 측정함으로써 상역전 현상의 변화 추이를 파악하여 전중합 시간을 결정하였다. 중합시 분산용매는 적절한 양에 도달하기 전까지는 고무입자의 크기가 증가하였으며, 그 후에는 점차적으로 감소하였다. 고무상의 형태구조는 분산용매가 증가함에 따라서 그래프트율이 증가하는 형태구조로 바뀌는 것으로 사료된다. 분산용매가 첨가됨에 따라 유변물성 및 인장물성이 취약해졌는데, 이는 분산용매에 의한 사슬이동반응이 매트릭스상인 폴리스티렌의 분자량을 감소시킨 점과 잔류 용매의 존재 때문이었다. 하지만 내충격성은 분산입자의 크기가 증가한 경우 향상되는 경향을 보였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of ingestion exposure of lead by particle sizes of crumb rubber in artificial turf filling material with consideration of bioavailability. Methods: This study estimated the ingestion exposure by particle sizes (more than 250 um or less than 250 um) focusing on recyclable ethylene propylene diene monomer crumb rubber being used as artificial turf filling. Analysis on crumb rubber was conducted using body ingestion exposure estimate method in which total content test method, acid extraction method and digestion extraction method are reflected. Bioavailability which is a calibrating factor was reflected in ingestion exposure estimate method and applied in exposure assessment and risk assessment. Two methods using acid extraction and digestion extraction concentration were compared and evaluated. Results: As a result of the ingestion exposure of crumb rubber material, the average lead exposure amount to the digestion extraction result among crumb rubber was calculated to be $1.56{\times}10^{-4}$ mg/kg-day for low grade elementary school students and $4.87{\times}10^{-5}$ mg/kg-day for middle and high school students in 250 um or less particle size, and that to the acid extraction result was higher than the digestion extraction result. Results of digestion extraction and acid extraction showed that the hazard quotient was estimated by about over 2 times more in particle size of lower than 250 um than in higher than 250 um. There was a case of an elementary school student in which the hazard quotient exceeded 0.1. Conclusions: Results of this study confirm that the exposure of lead ingestion and risk level increases as the particle size of crumb rubber gets smaller.

A correlative analysis has been carried out to predict the average particle size of rubber dispersed phase In high impact polystyrene manufactured by bulk polymerization. To do the correlation, a mechanistic model suggested previously by the author was used for describing the size of stabilizing particles agitated under the turbulent viscous shear subranges in a prepolymerization reactor, where the rubber particles were assumed to be formed at the time of phase inversion in the reactor. Viscosities required for the model were postulated to describe the overall behavior of butadiene rubber and polystyrene mixture along the wide range of conversion. The good agreement between the model and the experimental data from a plant was quite satisfactory for the prediction of the average rubber particle size of high impact polystyrene.

Atmospheric particulates were collected at a site near the front gate of the Yonsei University using nine stages Andersen air sampler and the distribution of seasonal particle size was investigated. Rubber, Pb and Zn contents of the collected particulates in each stage were determined. Particle size distribution of atmospheric particulate, which was made by concentration distribution curve method, was usually divided into two groups, course (particles larger than 1 - 2 $\mu m in diameter$) and fine (particles smaller than 1 - 2 \mu m in diameter$) groups, regardless of sampling period. More than 80 percent of the total rubber contents in atmospheric particulates were larger than $5 \mu m$ in diameter, meaning that most of rubber particles were originated from tire tread. After benzene extraction for 4 hrs, the extracts were analyzed by Curie-point pyrolysis gas chromatography for rubber content. Pb and Zn contents were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The annual average concentration of rubber particles was $4.2 \mu g/m^3$, which corresponded to 2.2% of the annual average total suspended particulates. Average concentration of styrene brtadiene rubber was about five times that of natural rubber. Annual average concentrations of Pb and Zn were $1.2 \mu g/m^3 and 0.4 \mu g/m^3$ respectively, which corresponded to about 0.7% and 0.2% of the annual average total suspended particulates.
