Properties of ternary blends of nylon 6 (Ny6), a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP, poly(ester amide), 20 wt%) and a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (2 wt%) (MAPP) were studied under various processing conditions. TLCP was pre-blended with MAPP first and then the binary one blended again with Ny6. The processing temperature of the second mixing was varied. Thermal properties show the partial miscibility of the ternary blend. The morphology of the TLCP phase in the first blending shows mostly in the fibril bundle shape, but varies between droplets and oriented fibrils after the second processing. Some of TLCP phase lost the fibril morphology during the second processing stage. The morphology variation invokes the change in tensile properties. Low extrusion temperature (270$\^{C}$) provides more fibril shapes, which are associated with less deformation in the second stage. The processing temperature effect was more evident when the draw ratio was high. High drawing was applicable due to the stabilizing action of tile compatibilizer.

The micro domain structures and crystallization behavior of the binary blends of poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(pentafluorostyrene)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA-PPFS-PMMA) triblock copolymer with a low molecular weight poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) were investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), small-angle light scattering (SALS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), optical microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A symmetric, PMMA-PPFS-PMMA triblock copolymer with a PPFS weight fraction of 33% was blended with PVDF in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). In the wide range of PVDF concentration between 10.0 and 30.0 wt%, PVDF was completely incorporated within the PMMA micro domains of PMMA-PPFS-PMMA without further phase separation on a micrometer scale. The addition of PVDF altered the phase morphology of PMMA-PPFS-PMMA from well-defined lamellar to disordered. The crystallization of PVDF significantly disturbed the domain structure of PMMA-PPFS-PMMA in the blends, resulting in a poorly-ordered morphology. PVDF displayed unique crystallization behavior as a result of the space constraints imposed by the domain structure of PMMA-PPFS-PMMA. The pre-existing microdomain structures restricted the lamellar orientation and favored a random arrangement of lamellar crystallites.

The present paper deals with improvement in disperse dyeablility as well as imparting of cationic dyeablility to difficultly dyeable polypropylene by a melt blending technique. Isotactic polypropylene (PP) was blended with fibre grade polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), cationic dyeable polyethylene terephthalate (CDPET) and polystyrene (PS), individually. The resulting binary blends were spun and drawn into fibres at draw ratio 2, 2.5, and 3. The compatibility of blends, structural changes of fibres in terms of X-ray crystallinity, relative crystallinity, sonic modulus, birefringence and thermal stability were examined. The blended fibres were found to be disperse dyeable by the conventional method of high temperature and high pressure dyeing. And this dye ability increased with increase in the level of substitution. PP/CDPET blend also exhibited dyeablility with cationic dyes in addition to that with disperse dyes. The optimum level of blending was predicted keeping in view of tenacity and thermal stability of melt blend fibres. The wash fastness properties of the dyed fibres were found to be of high rate.

The ignition delay time is an important factor to understand the combustion characteristics of internal combustion engine. In this study, ignition delay times of cool and thermal flame were observed separately in homogeneous charge compression ignition(HCCI) engine. This study presents numerical investigation of ignition delay time of n-heptane and alcohol(ethanol and n-butanol) binary fuel. The $O_2$ concentration in the mixture was set 9-10% to simulate high exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) rate condition. The numerical study on the ignition delay time was performed using CHEMKIN codes with various blending ratios and EGR rates. The results revealed that the ignition delay time increased with increasing the alcohol fraction in the mixture due to a decrease of oxidation of n-heptane at the low temperature. From the numerical analysis, ethanol needed more radical and higher temperature than n-butanol for oxidation. In addition, thermal ignition delay time is sharply increasing with decreasing $O_2$ fraction, but cool flame ignition delay time changes negligibly for both binary fuels. Also, in high temperature regime, the ignition delay time showed similar tendency with both blends regardless of blending ratio and EGR rate.

With the increasing demand in the production of concrete, there is a need for adopting a feasible, economical and sustainable technique to fulfill practical requirements. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is one such technique which addresses the concrete industry in providing eco-friendly and cost effective concrete. The objective of the present study is to develop a mix design for SCC with Crushed Rock Fines (CRF) as fine aggregate based on the plastic viscosity of the mix and validate the same for its fresh and hardened properties. Effect of plastic viscosity on the fresh and hardened properties of SCC is also addressed in the present study. SCC mixes are made with binary and ternary blends of Fly Ash (FA) and Ground Granulated Blast Slag (GGBS) with varying percentages as a partial replacement to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). The proposed mix design is validated successfully with the experimental investigations. The results obtained, indicated that the fresh properties are best achieved for SCC mix with ternary blend followed by binary blend with GGBS, Fly Ash and mix with pure OPC. It is also observed that the replacement of sand with 100% CRF resulted in a workable and cohesive mix.

두 가지 서로 다른 첨가제(additive)를 사용한 셀룰로오스 블렌드들의 기계적 성질과 모폴로지를 비교하였다. 용액 블렌딩법을 통해 만든 셀룰로오스 블렌드에는 폴리(비닐 알코올) (poly(vinyl alcohol)), PVA)과 에틸렌 글리콜(ethylene glycol, EG) 등의 첨가제가 사용되었다. 고분자 매트릭스에 사용된 첨가제의 양에 따라 블렌드 필름의 물성들은 다양하게 변하였다. PVA와 EG가 각각 30 wt%와 10 wt% 포함되었을 때 셀룰로오스 블렌드 필름의 최종인장 강도와 초기 탄성률은 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 용액 블렌딩법을 이용하여 EG를 셀룰로오스 블렌드(셀룰로오스/PVA (70/30=w/w))에 섞은 삼성분계(ternary system) 필름을 얻었으며, 이 필름에서는 EG가 40 wt% 포함되었을 때 기계적 물성이 가장 높은 값을 가졌다. 또한, 이 값은 셀룰로오스를 이용한 이성분계 블렌드 필름들보다 더 높은 기계적 성질을 나타내었다. 삼성분계 블렌드 필름에서 산소 투과도($O_2TR$)는 EG 함량이 증가할수록 가스 투과도 역시 일정하게 감소하였다. 전체적으로는 블렌드된 셀룰로오스 필름의 기계적 성질이 순수한 셀룰로오스보다 더 우수하였다.

[ $CO_2$ ] and propane mixtures were chosen as promising alternative refrigerants and their performance potentials were evaluated experimentally in an air-conditioning system. Pure $CO_2$ and 85/15, 75/25 and 60/40 binary blends by the charged mass percentage of $CO_2/propane$ were selected as working fluids. The effect of the inlet temperature of the secondary fluids and degree of superheat on the cooling performance was tested and discussed. The charging amounts of refrigerants were adjusted to make the system show the maximum COP. Comparisons among different refrigerants were carried out on the same compressor speed basis for a given operating condition. In addition, the temperature gliding effect of zeotropic mixtures on the system performance were analyzed based on the drop-in test results.

Concretes with binary blends of Portland cement, silica fume, fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag were produce to investigate their effects on compressive strength and chloride transport in rapid chloride permeability. Ten different mix of concrete with 0.45 water/binder were produced. Portland cement was replacedby: (i) 10%, 20%, 30% Fly ash (ii) 3%, 5%, 10% Silica Fume (iii) 20%, 40%, 60% GGBS. Compressive strength of concrete with the pozzolans is higher compared to that of the Portland cement concrete. The test results indicate the fly ash, silica fume, and ground granulated furnace slag greatly reduce the rapid chloride permeability of concrete. It was concluded that pozzolans are more effective to reduce chloride permeability of concrete.

The in situ composites based on poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) have been an area of increasing interest and study, since LCP exhibits high chemical stabilities and excellent thermo mechanical properties such as high strength and modulus. In a binary, however, poor compatibility and interfacial adhesions between two phases frequently results in deteriorated mechanical properties. (omitted)

메탈로센 촉매로 만든 폴리에틸렌(MCPE)과 Ziegler-Natta 촉매로 만들어진 4가지의 폴리올레핀으로 구성된 2원 블렌드의 상 형태학을 통하여 미세 분자 구조의 변화가 이들 블렌드의 상 형태학과 계면 거동에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다; 연구한 네 쌍의 블렌드는 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)-MCPE, 폴리프로필렌(PP)-MCPE, poly(propylene-co-ethylene) (CoPP)-MCPE, poly(propylene-co-ethylene-co-1-buthylene) (TerPP)-MCPE이며 모두 상 분리된 시스템이다. HDPE-MCPE는 HDPE 성분이 증가할수록 HDPE 결정이 MCPE 연속상에서 고르게 성장하는 동질상(homogeneous phase)을 나타내는 반면에, 나머지 세 쌍의 블렌드는 복잡한 이종의 상(heterogeneous phase) 형태학을 보였다. PP-MCPE는 PP와 MCPE의 상과 계면이 완전히 분리된 상 형태학을 보였고, MCPE가 50% 함유된 조성에서 상전이가 일어났다. CoPP-MCPE와 TerPP-MCPE는 이들 코폴리머에 함유한 에틸렌기로 인해 두 계면 사이의 혼화성이 증가하는 현상을 보였으며 MCPE가 40%인 블렌드에서 상전이가 일어났다. 특히 TerPP-MCPE 블렌드는 TerPP의 코폴리머가 MCPE와 같은 화학구조를 보이는 1-부텐과 에틸렌기를 가지고 있어 다른 두 블렌드인 PP-MCPE, CoPP-MCPE 보다 두 상간의 계면이 서로 부분적으로 섞이는 양상을 보였다. 상 형태학에서 본 미세 분자구조에 의한 부분적 상용성은 기계적 특성이나 유변학적 성질과도 밀접한 관계를 나타냈다. 그러므로 본 연구에 사용한 네 가지 블렌드는 두 상이 완전히 분리되어 열역학적으로 비 혼화성을 나타내지만 다음과 같은 특성을 제시할 수 있다. 즉 계면의 세기는 HDPE-MCPE>TerPP-MCPE>CoPP-MCPE>PP-MCPE 순이며, 이는 미세 분자 구조측면에서 공통의 화학 구성물이 계면 접착력(interfacial adhesion)의 증가를 가져오는 중요한 요인으로 작용하기 때문으로 여겨진다.
