N,N-dimethyldodecylamine (tertiary amine)-modified MMT (DDA-MMT) was prepared as an organically modified layered silicate (OLS), after which styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) nanocomposites reinforced with the OLS were manufactured via the latex method. The layer distance of the OLS and the morphology of the nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By increasing the amount of N,N-dimethyldodecylamine (DDA) up to 2.5 g, the maximum values of torque, tensile strength and wear resistance of the SBR nanocomposites were increased due to the increased dispersion of the silicate layers in the rubber matrix and the increased crosslinking of the SBR nanocomposites by DDA itself. When SBR nanocomposites were manufactured by using the ternary filler system (carbon black/silica/OLS) to improve their dynamic properties as a tire tread compound, the tan $\delta$(at $0^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$) property of the compounds was improved by using metal stearates instead of stearic acid. The mechanical properties and wear resistance were increased by direct substitution of calcium stearate for stearic acid because the filler-rubber interaction was increased by the strong ionic effect between the calcium cation and silicates with anionic surface. However, as the amount of calcium stearate was further increased above 0.5 phr, the mechanical properties and wear resistance were degraded due to the lubrication effect of the excessive amount of calcium stearate. Consequently, the SBR/organoclay nanocomposites that used carbon black, silica, and organoclay as their ternary filler system showed excellent dynamic properties, mechanical properties and wear resistance as a tire tread compound for passenger cars when 0.5 phr of calcium stearate was substituted for the conventionally used stearic acid.

소수성실리카를 안정제로 하는 현탁중합반응법을 이용하여 합성한 스티렌(St)/부틸메타크릴레이트(BMA) 공중합체 (co-PSB) 입자의 전단점도를 모세관 레오미터 (capillary rheometer)를 이용하여 $170^{\circ}C$에서 측정하였다. co-PSB 입자의 전단점도는 중량평균분자량이 74,800 g/mol 이하인 경우 낮은 전단속도에서는 뉴톤거동을 보였다. 중량평균분자량이 136,800 g/mol을 초과하면서 전단점도는 전단속도의 전 영역에 걸쳐 감소하였고 전단속도에 대한 기울기의 절대값은 분자량의 증가와 함께 증가하였다. St/BMA의 구성비가 7/3, 5/5 및 3/7의 co-PSB 입자는 유사한 분자량을 나타내었지만 BMA의 구성비가 증가하면서 유리전이온도와 전단점도는 감소하였다. St/BMA의 구성비가 1/9 인 co-PSB의 경우 유리전이온도는 더욱 감소하였으나 초기 전단점도는 크게 증가하였다. 카본블랙을 함유하는 co-PSB 복합체 입자의 전단점도는 카본블랙의 증가에 따라 증가하였으나, 카본블랙의 농도에 따른 전단점도의 변화는 분자량 및/혹은 구성비의 변화 효과에 비교하여 미약하였다.

The demand for truck bus radial (TBR) tires with enhanced fuel efficiency and wear resistance have grown in recent years. In addition, as the issue of particulate matter and air pollution increases, efforts are being made to reduce the generation of particulate matter. In this study, the properties of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) containing a silica-friendly functional group were evaluated by considering it as a base rubber and varying the silica ratio in this binary filler system. The results showed that the wear resistance of the NR/BR blend compound decreased as the silica ratio increased. In contrast, the ENR/BR blend compound exhibited an increase in wear resistance as the silica ratio was increased. In particular, the ENR-50/BR blend compound showed the best wear resistance due to the presence of several epoxide groups. Furthermore, we observed that for tan 𝛿 at 60℃, higher epoxide content resulted in the higher T_g of the rubber, indicating a higher tan 𝛿 at 60℃. On the other hand, it was confirmed that increasing the silica ratio decreased the value of tan 𝛿 at 60℃ in all compounds. In addition, we measured the amount of wear particulate matters generated from the compound wear. These measurements confirmed that in the binary filler system, regardless of the filler type, the quantity of the generated wear particulate matters as the filler-rubber interaction increased. In conclusion, the silica filled ENR/BR blend compound exhibited the lowest generation of wear particulate matters.

본 연구에서는 화학적 구조가 다른 thiuram 계 촉진제인 TMTD (tetramethyl thiuram disulfide), thiazole 계 촉진제인 MBTS (2,2-dithiobis(benzothiazole)), sulfenamide 계 촉진제인 CBS (n-cyclohexyl benzothiazyl-2-sulfenamide)를 사용하여 각각의 촉진제가 실리카가 충전된 천연고무의 가황 특성에 미치는 영향을 비교 평가하였다. TMTD는 상대적으로 빠른 가류 속도와 높은 최대 토크값($T_{max}$), 우수한 기계적 물성을 보였고 MBTS는 상대적으로 중간 정도의 가황 시간과 낮은 $T_{max}$, 기계적 물성을 보였다. 마지막으로 CBS는 느린 가황 시간을 나타낸 반면 상대적으로 우수한 $T_{max}$와 기계적 물성을 나타냈다. 유사한 가황 특성 경향은 카본블랙이 충전된 천연고무 컴파운드에서도 찾아볼 수 있었다.

The particle size of synthesized SiC powders was decreased with increasing carbon content when the mixture of carbon and silica was carbonized at 1, 45$0^{\circ}C$ after hydrolysis of the mixture with the ranges of 3.1 to 3.5 in the mole ratio of Carbon/Alkoxide. The reacted fraction of $\beta$-SiC nearly had nothing to do with the mole ratio of Carbon/Alkoxide. When the reaction was made by adding 0.5wt% additives in the composition of 3.1 in the mole ratio of carbon/alkoxide, the additives decreased the yield of $\beta$-SiC and its sequence was Ba2O3>B>Fe>Al>Al2O3>Si. The effect of additives promoted the transformation of $\beta$-SiC to $\alpha$-SiC form and shwoed the increasing tendency of lattice constant. The two colors of $\beta$-SiC powder came out : one was the black grey with addition of Al, Al2O3 and B the other the light grey with addition of Fe, B2O3 and Si.

실리카로 보강된 고무 배합물은 카본 블랙으로 보강된 배합물에 비해 보강제의 분산이 나쁘고 느린 가황 특성을 보인다. 보강제의 분산을 향상시키고 가황 특성을 빠르게 하기 위해 일반적으로 실리카로 보강된 고무 배합물에서는 실란커플링제인 bis-(3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl)-tetrasulfide (TESPT)와 diphenylguanidine (DPG)를 사용한다. Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR)은 실리카로 보강된 styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) 배합물에서 실리카의 분산을 향상시킨다. 이 연구에서는 실리카로 보강된 SBR 배합물의 특성에 NBR이 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. NBR을 포함하고 있으나 TESPT의 양이 적거나 DPG를 포함하지 않은 배합물(배합물 A)의 특성과 NBR은 포함하지 않고 TESPT와 DPG를 포함하는 배합물(배합물 B)의 특성을 비교하였다. 배합물 A의 스코치 시간은 배합물 B의 것에 비해 빨랐고 모듈러스와 인장 강도는 배합물 B에 비해 약간 떨어지는 경향을 보였다. 마찰 특성은 배합물 A의 것이 배합물 B의 것에 비해 우수하게 나타났다. NBR의 사용으로 TESPT와 DPG의 사용을 줄일 수 있었다.

소수성 설리카를 안정제로 하는 현탁중합법으로 $75^{\circ}C$에서 합성한 고분자입자들을 모세관 레오미터를 이용하여 전단점도를 측정하였다. 전단점도는 중량평균분자량이 증가하면서 비뉴톤거동을 나타내였다. 스타렌(St)/부틸메타크릴레이트(BMA)의 구성비를 변화하며 합성한 공중합체 입자를 이용하여 $170^{\circ}C$ 및 $190^{\circ}C$에서 측정한 전단점도는 분자량, 온도 뿐만 아니라 구성비에 따라서도 변화하였다. St/BMA의 구성비가 7/3, 5/5 및 3/7의 공중합체 (co-PSB) 입자의 경우 유사한 분자량을 나타내었지만 BMA의 구성비가 증가하면서 전단점도는 소폭 감소하였다. BMA의 비가 3/7을 초과하며 높은 전단속도에서의 전단점도는 급격히 감소하였다. 이는 BMA 구성비의 증가에 따른 PBMA 사슬의 길이의 증가로 인한 유동성 향상에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 카본블랙을 함유하는 co-PSB 복합체 업자의 전단점도는 카본블랙의 증가에 따라 점진적으로 증가하였으나, 카본블랙의 농도 증가에 따른 전단점도의 증가는 분자량의 증가 효과에 비교하여 미약하였다.

The demand for truck bus radial (TBR) tires with enhanced fuel efficiency and wear resistance have grown in recent years. In addition, as the issue of particulate matter and air pollution increases, efforts are being made to reduce the generation of particulate matter. In this study, we investigated the effect of varying the content of butadiene rubber (BR) on the properties of the rubber compounds and the amount of particulate matter in the TBR tire tread compound. Furthermore, we utilized carbon black in the NR/BR blend compounds owing to its excellent compatibility, and we used silica in the ENR-25/BR blend compounds because it can interact chemically with epoxide groups. The NR/BR blend compounds and the ENR-25/BR blend compounds were evaluated by varying their BR content between 20 phr and 30 phr. The results showed that the ENR-25/BR blend compounds had superior wear resistance than the NR/BR blend compounds. This was caused by the interaction between silica and ENR. In addition, it was confirmed that the increased wear resistance as the BR content increased. Furthermore, compared to the NR/BR blend compounds, ENR-25/BR blend compounds exhibited a lower tan 𝛿 value at 60℃ because silica was used as filler. This indicates a higher fuel efficiency. The measurement results for wear particulate matter showed that as increasing the BR content resulted in generation of less wear particulate matter. This was caused by the increased wear resistance. Moreover, the ENR-25/BR blend compounds with excellent filler-rubber interaction exhibited lower quantities of generated wear particulate matters as compared to the NR/BR blend compounds.

Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) or dynamic vulcanizates are thermoplastic elastomers produced by simultaneous mixing and crosslinking of a rubber and a thermoplastic. The objective of the present work is to investigate the effects of different types of peroxides as curing agents on the properties of PP/EPDM TPVs. The mechanical properties change significantly with the chemical nature of the peroxides and the extent of crosslinking at a fixed PP/EPDM blend ratio. The tensile strength of the TPVs obtained with the various peroxides can be related to the solubility parameters of the polymers and of the peroxides. The Young's modulus of the peroxide-cured TPVs can be correlated with the delta torque values of equivalent thermoset EPDM vulcanizates, corresponding to the crosslinking efficiencies of the peroxides.

We fabricated the charged particle type display using opposite-charged two toner particles. The particles were composed of polymer, colorant($TiO_2$, carbon black) and external additives(nano-sized silica and so on). In fabrication process we controlled the putting layers of this toner particles on the inner panel. To get the effect of number of layers ($1{\sim}3$), we measured the threshold, driving and breakdown voltages, reflectivity, viewing angle, and color characteristics using RT-300 anisotropic scattering system. We ascertained that these voltages are increased with increasing of layers of particles. Cell gap between electrodes must be enlarged with increment of layers and the size of particles. The lumping phenomena of particles at near of the rib observed by optical system with same CIE values.
