Rubber-modified epoxy resins have been employed as adhesive and matrix materials for glass and corbon-fiber composites. The behavior of fracture around a crack tip for rubber-modified epoxy resin is investigated through the acoustic emission (AE) analysis of compact tension specimens. Damage zone and rubber particles distributed around a crack tip were observed by a polarized optical microscope and an atomic force microscope (AFM). The damage zone in front of pre-crack tip in rubber-modified specimen $(15wt\%\; rubber)$ began to form at about $13\%$ level of the fracture load and grew in size until $57\%$ load level. After that, the crack propagated in a stick-slip manner. Based on time-frequency analysis of AE signals and microscopic observation of damage zone, it was thought that AE signals with frequency bands of 0.15-0.20 MHz and 0.20­0.30 MHz were generated from cavitation in the damage zone and crack propagation, respectively.

In this work, we investigate the toughening mechanism of the rubber-modified epoxy resin. The fracture toughness($K_{IC}$) is measured using CT specimens for three kinds of rubber-modified epoxy resin with different rubber content. The damage zone and rubber particles around a crack tip of a damaged specimen just before fracture are observed by a polarization microscope and an atomic force microscope(AFM). Both the fracture energy($G_{IC}$) and the size of damage zone increase with the rubber content below l5wt%. The size of the rubber particles can be qualitatively correlated with the $G_{IC}$ and the size of damage zone. The cavitation of the rubber particles inside the damage zone is observed, which is expected to be main toughening mechanism by rubber particles. the stress which causes the cavitation of rubber particles is estimated by the Dugdale model.

In order to Improve the fracture toughness of epoxy resin system, liquid chloroprene rubber(LCR) and liquid butadiene rubber (LBR) which have hydroxy group were used in the brittle epoxy system. Mechanical and toughness characterization of the modified epoxy resins were investigated as a function of liquid rubbers content. Epoxy resins modified with both of the liquid rubbers showed complete phase-separation microstructure : In all of the LCR content, it was observed that the domain size of LCR dispersed in the epoxy matrix ranging from $2{\mu}m\;to\;5{\mu}m$. It was found that fracture toughness, $K_{ic}$, of the modified LCR system was enhanced continuously as increasing LCR content. However around 10phr of LBR system showed maximum fracture toughness. Specifically, when BPA add to the modified LCR system, thermal and mechanical properties increased than neat epoxy. At the same time, fracture toughness was enhanced.

균열선단에 발생하는 손상역은 재료의 파괴인성 메카니즘을 알 수 있게 하는 중요한 영역이다. 본 연구에서는 고무변성 에폭시 수지의 균열선단 손상역의 생성 및 성장 과정을 음향방출법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 고무변성 에폭시 수지의 고무함량은 5 wt%와 15 wt%로 하였고, 3점 굽힘시험편을 사용하여 모드 I 파괴시험에 대한 각 시험편의 파괴인성값을 구하였다. 또한, 균열선단의 손상역과 그 내부의 고무입자 변형상태를 편광현미경과 원자력간 현미경을 사용하여 관찰하였다. 고무변성 에폭시 수지의 균열선단부의 손상역은 파괴하중의 약 13 % 하중에서 생성이 되어, 약 57 % 하중까지 균열개시 없이 성장하였다. 57 % 하중 근처에서 개시만 균열은 최대하중부근까지 고착-활강거동을 반복하면서 안정 / 불안정 파괴로 진전하였다 이 과정에서 발생한 음향방출신호의 시간-주파수 분석결과, 고투입자 내부에서의 케비테이션 생성단계에서 주파수대역은 0.15 ∼ 0.20 MHz 이었고, 그 후의 안정 및 불안정시의 주파수 대역은 0.20∼0.30MHz 이었다.

상용 에폭시 수지의 접착력은 XNBR을 첨가함으로써 달성할 수 있으나 이는 필연적으로 유리전이온도(Tg)의 감소를 수반하여 접착제의 내열성을 저하시킨다. 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl) tetramethyldisiloxane과 hydroxy phthalic anhydride를 반응시켜 siloxane-imide를 합성하고, 이를 상용 에폭시 수지와 공중합시켜 변성 에폭시 수지를 합성하였다. 변성 에폭시 수지의 siloxaneimide 함량을 결정하기 위하여 접착력 및 유리전이온도를 2관능성 에폭시 수지의 경우와 비교하여 조성비를 정하였다. Siloxane-imide와 공중합된 30% 변성 에폭시 수지는 5% XNBR을 첨가한 경우 0.42 N/mm의 박리 강도와 $155^{\circ}C$의 유리전이온도를 나타내어 die-bond용 접착제에 요구되는 물성 값인 0.3 N/mm 이상의 박리 강도와 $150^{\circ}C$ 이상의 유리전이온도를 충분히 만족 시킴을 알 수 있었다. 변성 에폭시 수지의 내 산성, 내 알칼리성 및 내습성을 평가한 결과 벤젠 링과 이미드 링의 영향으로 산, 염기 조건에서는 상용 에폭시 수지 대비 무게 변화폭이 감소하였지만 수분 조건에서는 무게 변화폭이 증가한 것을 알 수 있었다. 5% XNBR을 첨가한 30% 변성 에폭시 수지의 경우, 인장응력과 신장률이 상용 에폭시 수지 대비 약 220% 향상되었는데 이는 siloxane의 유연한 성질 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

Epoxy resin and CTBN(carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile) rubber were reacted at $150^{\circ}C$. Epoxy mixtures containing reactant in a ratio $0{\sim}75%(wt%)$ of total liquid component were with dicyandiamide(DICY) at $130{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. Cure, thermal and adhesive properties were investigated in relation to rubber content, cure temperature, hardner content and promoter content. $CTBN{\times}13$ showed better properties in miscibility, curing time and adhesive strength. 2PZ-CNS was more excellent in Tg, and melamine was in adhesive strength. Adhesive strength represented best at rubber content $12{\times}15%$.

야민 말단기를 가지는 PES(6k) 올리고머와 상용 CTBN (1300$\circ$13)으로부터 분자량이 15000g/mol인 PES-CTBN-PES 공중합체를 합성하였으며, 이를 에폭시 수지의 강인화제로 사용하였다. DDS를 경화제로 사용하였으며, 공중합체로 강인화된 에폭시 수지의 열특성, 강인성, 굴골 강도 및 내용매성을 측정하여, PES/CTBN 블렌드로 강인화된 에폭시 수지의 특성과 비교하였다. 공중합체는 용매의 사용없이 에폭시 수지에 40 wt%까지 첨가가 가능하였으며, 굴곡강도 및 내용매성의 저하 없이 40 wt%에서 2.21 mPa${\cdot}m^{0.5}$의 아주 높은 강인성을 보였다. 하지만 PES/CTBN 블렌드로 강인화된 에폭시 수지는 공중합체로 강인화된 시편보다 다소 낮은 강인성, 굴곡강도 및 내용매성을 보였다.

Anionic epoxy compound was synthesized and added to asphalt aiming to prepare self-healing asphalt. Epoxy-modified asphalt showed excellent modification effect and healing effect as well. The results revealed that with 5% addition of polymer the tensile strength, impact strength and complex shear modulus of the polymer-modified asphalt increased by 65%. 64% and 35%, respectively. It seems that high interaction occurs between polymer and asphalt matrix. Self-healing efficiency of the polymer-modified asphalt based on tensile strength showed 100%, comparing to 79% of straight asphalt. In impact experiment the polymer-modified asphalt showed 99% of healing efficiency, comparing to 77% of straight asphalt. In rheological experiment the polymer-modified asphalt showed 103% of healing efficiency, comparing to 72% of straight asphalt. It appears that the ionic bonding existing in epoxy polymers contributed to high values of self-healing efficiency. The polymer which has high intermolecular force fills the crack of the asphalt, pulling the opponent side each other, and so the original properties were restored.

In order to minimize flexible printed circuit(FPC), which is used in computer, communication, medical facility, aviation space industry, it is required to improve the interfacial adhesion of polymide/epoxy or polyimide/polyimide consists of FPC. In this study, it was considered to improve the adhesion strength of polyimide/epoxy joint by introducing functional group on polyimide film and improving mechanical property of epoxy. Functional group on polyimide film was introduced by changing polyimide film surface to polyamic acid in KOH aqueous solution. The optimum conditions for surface modification were the concentration of 1M KOH and treatment time of 5min. Also, the optimum adhesion strength of polyimide/epoxy joint was obtained using rubber modified epoxy and polyamic acid as a base resin and curing agent of epoxy adhesive, respectively. The degree of surface modification of polyimide film examined with contact angle measurement of FTIR, thus modification of polyimide to polyamic acid was identified. Fracture surface of plymide/epoxy joint was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, and modified polyamic acid reimidezed to polymide as increasing curing temperature.
