Melt copolymerization reactions of several bis(diethylamino)silane derivatives, bis(diethylamino)methylphenylsilane, bis(diethylamino)methyloctylsilane, 1,2-bis(diethylamino)tetramethyldisilane, and 1,3-bis(diethylamino) tetramethyldisiloxane, with 2,7-dihydroxyfluoren-9-one were carried out to yield poly[oxy(2,7-fluoren- 9-onenylene)oxy(diorganosilylene)]s bearing the fluoren-9-one fluorescent aromatic group in the polymer main chain: poly[oxy(2,7-fluoren-9-onenylene)oxy(methylphenylsilylene)], poly[oxy(2,7-fluoren-9-onenylene) oxy(methyloctylsilylene)], poly[oxy(2,7-fluoren-9-onenylene)oxy(tetramethyldisilylene)], and poly[oxy- (2,7-fluoren-9-onenylene)oxy(tetramethyldisiloxanylene)]. These polymeric materials are soluble in common organic solvents such as $CHCl_3$ and THF. FTIR spectra of all the materials reveal characteristic Si-O-C stretching frequencies at 1012-1018 $cm^{-1}$. In the THF solution, the prepared materials show strong maximum absorption peaks at 258-270 nm, strong maximum excitation peaks at 260-280 nm, and strong maximum fluorescence emission bands at 310-420 nm. TGA thermograms suggest that most of the polymers are essentially stable to $200^{\circ}C$ without any weight loss and up to $300^{\circ}C$ with only a weight loss of less than 5% in nitrogen.

In this study, a high-temperature vulcanizing (HTV) method was used to achieve a shore a hardness of 70. The basic base was composed of 60% silicon gum (GUM) which is a high-viscosity polymer, 30% fumed silica (FS), and 5% of plasticizer. The GUM and FS were mixed well with less than 1% silane to improve rubber strength. Expanded vermiculite was added as a filler at 10%, 15%, and 20%. The curing conditions were $170^{\circ}C$ for 10 min and a molding method was applied. We report herein, the results of inorganic analysis and flame-retardant and tracking tests on the expanded vermiculite. The flame retardance and tracking test outcomes for a shore a hardness of 70 were found to be optimal when the expanded vermiculite content was 10%.

There is an increasing demand for the rolling resistance reduction in truck bus radial (TBR) tires in the tire industry. In TBR tires, natural rubber is used as a base polymer to prevent wear and satisfy required physical properties (cut and chip). A binary filler system (silica and carbon black) is used to balance the durability of the tire and rolling resistance performance. In this study, natural rubber (NR) compounds applied with a binary filler system were manufactured at different cure temperatures for vulcanizate structure analysis. The vulcanizate structures were categorized into carbon black bound rubber, silica silane rubber network, and chemical crosslink density by sulfur. Regardless of the cure temperature, the cross-link density per unit content of carbon black had a greater effect on the properties than silica due to affinity with NR. The relationship analysis between the mechanical, viscoelastic properties with vulcanizate structure could be a guideline for manufacturing practical TBR compounds.

폴리머 박막은 그 고유한 특성으로 인해 여러 산업적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 재료이다 예로 의약품이나 식품 포장지의 배리어, 전자부품의 절연체, 반도체 공정에서의 사용, 혹은 부식방지를 위해 사용 되어지기도 한다. 이 폴리머 박막을 증착 하기 위한 방법으로 이전부터 CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) 방법이 많이 사용되었고 지금까지도 가장 많이 사용되는 방법이다. CVD를 사용하여 $SiO_2$-like 필름의 증착은 전구체(precursor)로 Silane ($SiH_4$)을 사용하였으며, 플라즈마 발생 소스(source)로 열 혹은 전기장 등을 사용 하며 공정 시 압력 또한 대부분 저압 하에서 실시 하였다. 이와 같은 이전 CVD 방법의 문제는 사용되는 Silane 자체가 인체에 해로울 정도로 독성이 있으며 폭발성도 같이 가지고 있어 작업환경의 위험성이 높으며 열을 사용한 CVD의 경우 높은 공정 온도로 인해 증착 할 수 있는 대상이 제한 되어 지며 높은 열의 발생을 위해 많은 에너지의 소비가 필요하다. 저압 플라즈마를 사용한 CVD 는 공정상 높은 열의 발생이 일어나지 않아 기판 운용상 문제가 되지 않지만 저압 환경에서 해당 공정이 이루어기 때문에 인해 필수적으로 고가의 진공 챔버가 필수적이며 저압을 유지할 고가의 진공 펌프나 추가 장비들이 필요하게 된다, 또한 챔버 내에서 이루어지는 공정으로 인해 공정의 연속성이 떨어져 시잔비용 또한 많이 잡아 먹는다. 이러한 열 혹은 저압 플라즈마등을 사용한 공정의 단점을 해결하기 위해 여러 연구자들이 다양한 방법을 통해 연구를 하였다. 대기압 유전체 배리어 방전(AP-DBD: Atmospheric Pressure-Dielectric Barrier Discharge)을 사용한 폴리머 박막의 증착은 이전 전통적인 방법에 비해 낮은 장비 가격과 낮은 공정 온도 그리고 연속적인 공정 등의 장점이 있는 폴리머 박막 증착 방법 이다. 대기압 유전체 배리어 방전 공정 변수로 공급 전압 및 주파수 그리고 공급 전압의 영향, 전구체를 유전체 배리어 방전 전극으로 이동 시키기 위해 사용된 캐리어 가스의 종류 및 유량, 화학양론적 계수를 맞추기 위해 같이 포함되는 산소 가스의 유량, DBD 전극의 형태에 따른 증착 박막의 균일성 등 이 존재하며 이런 많은 변수 들에 대한 연구가 진행 되었지만 아직 이 대기압 DBD를 이용한 폴리머 박막의 증착에 대한 명확한 이해는 아직 완전 하다 할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 대기압 DBD를 이용하여 폴리머 박막의 증착시 영향을 미치는 많은 공정 변수 등이 박막생성에 미치는 영향과 증착된 박막의 성질에 대한 연구를 진행 하였다.

This minireview provides the chosen examples of our recent discoveries in the polymerization of hydrosilanes, dihydrosilole, lactones, and vinyl derivatives using various catalysts. Hydrosilanes and lactones copolymerize to give poly(lactone-co-silane)s with $Cp_2MCl_2$/Red-Al (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) catalyst. Hydrosilanes (including dihydrosilole) reduce noble metal complexes (e.g., $AgNO_3$, $Ag_2SO_4$, $HAuCl_4$, $H_2PtCl_6$) to give nanoparticles along with silicon polymers such as polysilanes, polysilole, polysiloxanes (and silicas) depending on the reaction conditions. Interestingly, phenylsilane dehydrocoupled to polyphenylsilane in the inert nitrogen atmosphere while phenylsilane dehydrocoupled to silica in the ambient air atmosphere. $Cp_2M/CX_4$ (M = Fe, Co, Ni; X = Cl, Br, I) combination initiate the polymerization of vinyl monomers. In the photopolymerization of vinyl monomers using $Cp_2M/CCl_4$ (M = Fe, Co, Ni), the photopolymerization of MMA initiated by $Cp_2M/CCl_4$ (M = Fe, Co, Ni) shows while the polymerization yield decreases in the order $Cp_2Fe$ > $Cp_2Ni$ > $Cp_2Co$, the molecular weight decreases in the order $Cp_2Co$ > $Cp_2Ni$ > $Cp_2Fe$. For the photohomopolymerization and photocopolymerization of MA and AA, the similar trends were observed. The photopolymerizations are not living. Many exciting possibilities remain to be examined and some of them are demonstrated in the body of the minireview.

In this work, the thermal stability factors, such as the thermal decomposition temperature, decomposition activation energy ($E_d$), and char yield, were measured to investigate the effect of silicone rubber (SR) content on the thermal stabilities of EPDM/SR blends. As a result, the thermal decomposition curve of EPDM/SR blends was similar to the neat EPDM rubber at 10 wt% SR and the thermal decomposition temperature increased above this content. The $E_d$ value of EPDM rubber initially decreased and then was constant above 20 wt% weight losses. The $E_d$ of EPDM/SR blends was higher than that of the neat EPDM rubber and then decreased with increasing the weight loss when the SR content was in the range of 10-20 wt%. Whereas the $E_d$ of the blends was lower than that of the EPDM rubber and then decreased with increasing the weight loss when 30 wt% SR was added. The char yield at $800^{\circ}C$ increased with increasing the SR content, because the decomposition of silane groups in the backbone was capable of forming a silane-rich residue after the initial stage of thermal degradation, which finally prevents further heat transfer and diffusion in the blends.

디스플레이, 센서 등 전자소자는 소형화 단계를 지나 인체 부착형 소자로의 발전을 요구하고 있다. 부착형 소자에서는 접착력과 큰 마찰력이 필요하지만 마찰특성이 더 중요하므로 인체 및 물체의 마찰을 위해서는 다양한 표면에 대항하는 마찰 특성과 내구성이 요구되며 이를 위해 개코도마뱀 또는 딱정벌레, 말벌날개와 같은 자연모사형 건식 마찰 방식에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 폴리머를 이용하여 자연모사형 마이크로/나노 구조 형성은 기계적으로 가공된 금형 몰딩을 통한 매무 복잡한 공정을 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 복잡한 공정을 통한 마찰재 제작을 단순화하기 위해서 플라즈마 표면처리를 활용하여 나노구조 형성하는 방법을 소개하고자 하며, 건식 접착 및 마찰용 폴리머 소재(PDMS(Poly dimethyl siloxane))에 따른 표면구조 변화와 표면에너지 및 화학결합 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 플라즈마 표면처리를 위해서 자체 개발한 선형이온소스를 활용하였으며 입사에너지에 따라 표면형상 변화를 주사전자현미경을 활용하여 관찰하였다. 표면에너지 변화는 접촉각측정기를 활용하였으며, Tribology tester(Ball on disk)를 활용하여 마찰특성을 평가하였다. PDMS(Poly dimethyl siloxane)는 입사에너지가 증가함에 따라 주름형태 구조 크기가 증가하는 것을 관찰하였고, 플라즈마 처리를 통해 표면에너지 및 마찰력 증가를 관찰하였다. 그리고 플라즈마 처리 후 표면에너지 변화인 FOTS(Trichloro-(1H,1H,2H,2H- perfluorooctyl) silane) 처리를 통하여 표면에너지 감소와 마찰력이 절반으로 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과는 나노구조에 따라 표면형상 및 표면에너지 변화에 따른 PDMS의 마찰력 변화를 확인하였고, 이러한 특성을 활용하여 마찰재와 피부 부착형 접착 패치에 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The fiber-reinforced endodontic posts were prepared using a photocurable resin and a glass fiber. The mechanical property of the posts increased with increasing density of glass fiber and the micro-pores in the post were removed by a vacuum impregnation process. To improve the interfacial adhesion between glass fiber and polymer, silane coupling agent was used. The surface treatment of glass fiber increased the surface wettability of resing on glass fiber and increased the adhesion property with resin, consequently improved the mechanical property of posts.

PURPOSE. The object of the present study was to evaluate the shear bonding strength of composite to PEKK by applying several methods of surface treatment associated with various bonding materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred and fifty PEKK specimens were assigned randomly to fifteen groups (n = 10) with the combination of three different surface treatments (95% sulfuric acid etching, airborne abrasion with $50{\mu}m$ alumina, and airborne abrasion with $110{\mu}m$ silica-coating alumina) and five different bonding materials (Luxatemp Glaze & Bond, Visio.link, All-Bond Universal, Single Bond Universal, and Monobond Plus with Heliobond). After surface treatment, surface roughness and contact angles were examined. Topography modifications after surface treatment were assessed with scanning electron microscopy. Resin composite was mounted on each specimen and then subjected to shear bond strength (SBS) test. SBS data were analyzed statistically using two-way ANOVA, and post-hoc Tukey's test (P<.05). RESULTS. Regardless of bonding materials, mechanical surface treatment groups yielded significantly higher shear bonding strength values than chemical surface treatment groups. Unlike other adhesives, MDP and silane containing self-etching universal adhesive (Single Bond Universal) showed an effective shear bonding strength regardless of surface treatment method. CONCLUSION. Mechanical surface treatment behaves better in terms of PEKK bonding. In addition, self-etching universal adhesive (Single Bond Universal) can be an alternative bonding material to PEKK irrespective of surface treatment method.

In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in aerospace, renewable energy and other industries, due to its low weight and relatively good mechanical properties compared with traditional metals. However, due to the high cost of petroleum-based precursors and their associated processing costs, CF remains a specialty product and as such has been limited to use in high-end aerospace, sporting goods, automotive, and specialist industrial applications. The high cost of CF is a problem in various applications and the use of CFRP has been impeded by the high cost of CF in various applications. This paper presents an overview of research related to the fabrication of low cost CF using polyethylene (PE) control technology, and identifies areas requiring additional research and development. It critically reviews the results of cross-linked PE control technology studies, and the development of promising control technologies, including acid, peroxide, radiation and silane cross-linking methods.
