Enzyme production of calcium stearate was attempted by lipase, hydrogenated beef tallow that contain high level of stearic acid was used by substrate. 90% of hydrogenated beef tallow was converted into calcium stearate in 2.5hr. Calcium stearate that was produced by this method was purified and recovered through new method and this purified and recovered calcium stearate was compared with standard calcium stearate through FT- IR. This result showed the possible replacement of conventional process into enzymetic reaction process.

Enzyme production of calcium stearate was attempted by lipase. Lipase having the highed hydrolyzing activity at $60^{\circ}C$, a melting point of substrate (hydrogenated beef tallow),was selected. 60% of hydrogenated beef tallow was converted into calcium stearate in 48hr. This result showed the possible replacement of conventional waste-producing process into enzymetic reaction.

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.

Effect of lubricants on the rheological and thermal properties of poly(butylene terephthalate) [PBT] were investigated. Calcium stearate and adipic acid glycol polyester (AhGP) were used as processing lubricants for PBT. Decrease of melt viscosity was accomplished by the addition of 1 wt％ of lubricants. It was understood that melt viscosity was affected by the enhancement of chain mobility of PBT with AhGP as an internal lubricant as well as the lubricity on processing equipment developed by calcium stearate as an external lubricant. Lubricants also influenced chain scission of PBT which caused the viscosity drop as well. In addition, lubricant is resulted in the lowering of thermal stability, however, this might be minimized by adding less than 3 wt％ of calcium stearate as a lubricant. As a consequence, calcium stearate as an external lubricant is more effective to control the melt viscosity of PBT with minimizing of chain scission and thermal instability in PBT.

Melt processing characteristics of nylon 6 (N6) has been investigated by controlling the melt viscosity in melt impregnation process. Calcium stearate (CaST) was introduced as a lubricant for N6 and the melt viscosity of N6 decreased with adding only 1 wt$\%$ of CaST. In addition, reactive blending with polycaprolactone (PCL) was carried out by lowering the melt viscosity in N6. It was found that the melt viscosity of N6 could be controlled and further melt viscosity drop could be obtained by applying phenyl phosphite (PP) and diphenyl phosphite (DPP) to enhance the transesterification between N6 and PCL. Our approaches show that the melt viscosity of N6 could be reduced without loss of thermal stability which is the critical problem in high temperature melt impregnation process of N6.

Ion flotation is an efficient method to remove metal ions from aqueous solution. In this work, ion flotation was applied to calcium removal from aqueous solution. The parameters used included sodium stearate (SS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as collectors, 1-butanol and 1-propanol as frothers, pH, and air-flow rate. An L16 orthogonal array was chosen according to the mentioned factors and levels, and experimental tests were conducted according to the Taguchi orthogonal array. The results showed that all of the factors except one had significant effect on the flotation performance. The percentage contribution of parameters showed that type of frother and type of collector made the greatest (43.14%) and the lowest (9.86%) contribution, respectively. In optimal conditions, the recovery of Ca (II) ion was 45.67%. Also, the results illustrated that the Taguchi method could predict calcium removal from aqueous solution by ion flotation with 2.63%. This study showed that the use of ion flotation was an effective method for Ca (II) ion removal from aqueous solution.

Electrical failures and reliability problems of electronic components by ionic migration between adjacent device terminals have become an issue in automotive electronics. Especially unlike galvanic corrosion, ionic migration is occurred at high temperature and high humidity under applied electric field condition. Until now, although extensive studies of the ionic migrations dealing with PCBs, electrodes, and solders were reported, there is no study on the effect of insulation polymers and metallic fillers for ionic migration. In this research, therefore, ionic migration induced by the types and contents of polymers and metallic fillers, and variety conditions of temperature, humidity, and applied voltage was studied in detail. Ester and amide types of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and poly (phthalamide) (PPA) were used as base polymers, respectively and compounded with the metallic fillers of Copper iodide (CuI), Zinc stearate (Zn-st), or Calcium stearate (Ca-st) in various compositions. The compounding polymers were fabricated in IPC-B-24 of SIR test coupon according to ISO 9455-17 with Cu electrodes for ionic migration test. While there is no change in LCP-based samples, ionic migration in PPA compounding sample with a high water absorption property was accelerated in the presence of 0.25 wt% or above of CuI at the environmental conditions of 85℃, 85% RH and 48V. The dendritic short-circuit growth of Cu caused by ionic migration between the electrodes on the surface of compounded polymers was systematically observed and analyzed by using optical microscopy and SEM (EDX).

The purpose of this paper is to manufacture the non-sintered ceramic used lime and industrial waste. The used materials were basalt powder sludge, calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2) and additives such as calcium stearate and $TiO_2$. The mixing ratios between Ca(OH)2 and sludge were 5:5, 6:4 and 8:2, respectively. The ceramic forms were pressured by 100, 200 and 300 bar and cured in 14% CO2 for 12 days. The behaviors of compressive strength, specific gravity, water absorption and pH of ceramic form were investigated. The results were compressive strength of over 36 MPa, water absorption of over 8.8%, pH value of over 12.3. And these results satisfied GR F 4006 and 4031 standard.

The effect of transesterification on the rheological property of poly(ethylene naphthalate)/poly(butylene tore-phthalate) (PEN/PBT) blends has been investigated. The melt viscosity of PEN/PBT blends decreased with increasing PBT content due to the relatively low melt viscosity of PBT as well as introducing ransesterification between PEN and PBT Further melt viscosity decrease was achieved by the thermal annealing which caused both the chain scission and the acceleration of transesterfication. Calcium stearate (CaST) was applied as a lubricant in order to lower the melt viscosity of PEN and it was found that CaST was acting as the catalyst of transesterification as well. In general, reactive melt blending of PEN and PBT by transesterification resulted in the decrease of molecular weight of PEN and PBT, as a result, the loss of mechanical properties in PEN/PET blend was inevitable.
