This review article summarizes results of recent viscoelastic and dielectric studies for entangled cis-polyisoprene (PI) chains. The PI chains have the so-called type-A dipoles parallel along the chain backbone, and their slow viscoelastic and dielectric relaxation processes reflect the same global chain motion. However, this motion is differently averaged in the viscoelastic and dielectric properties, the former representing the isochronal orientational anisotropy of individual entanglement segments while the latter detecting the orientational correlation of the segments at two separate times (0 and t). On the basis of this difference, the viscoelastic and dielectric data of the entangled PI chains were compared to elucidate detailed features of the chain dynamics. Specifically, the molecular picture of dynamic tube dilation (DTD) incorporated in recent models was tested for linear and star PI chain. The comparison revealed that the DTD picture was valid for linear PI chains but failed for the star PI chains in the dominant part of the terminal relaxation. The failure for the star chains was related to the pre-requisite for the DTD process, rapid equilibration of successive entanglement segments through their constraint release (CR) motion: For the star chains, the dilated tube diameter expected in the terminal regime was considerably large because of a broad distribution of motional modes of the chains, so that the CR-equilibration required for DTD could not occur in time. The terminal relaxation of the star chain appeared to occur through the CR process before the expected DTD process was completed. The situation was different for the linear chain exhibiting narrowly distributed motional modes. The dilated tube expected for the linear chain was rather thin and the required CR-equilibration occurred in time, resulting in the success of the DTD picture. These detailed features of the chain dynamics was revealed only when the viscoelastic and dielectric properties were compared, demonstrating the importance of this comparison.

The entanglement effects were described by means of holes through which the network chain must pass. Inhomogeneous entanglement effects were related to the hole distributions on the surface and in the center of spheres in the network chains. It was assumed that holes were subjected to the affiance deformation and the network chains were gaussian distribution. The results of this model calculation was compared with the compression- extension experimental data of PDMS (polydimethyl siloxane) rubber, and then hole's relative position was known to be in the center of two adjacent holes.

Marine accidents involving the entanglement of marine litter have continued to increase, with over 300 to 400 cases per year according to the statistical agency. Entanglement of marine litter may also lead to large-scale marine accidents which cause capsizing and sinking, thereby further causing detrimental casualties and material damages, and thus exceptional attention and care are required. In this study, Incheon, Busan, and Geoje and Tongyeong were found to be the high-frequency locations for accidents, which were selected by considering the ArcGIS analysis about the marine accidents of entanglement of marine litter and the occurrence frequency by the standard. The characteristics of the multiple accident areas involving entanglement of marine litter were the coastal cities where fishing facilities or marine leisure related conditions were activated, with the port which handles much of the traffic of outbound and inbound vessels located nearby. Marine plastic pollution impacts not only the marine ecosystem and food chain, but also the hull and engine of ships, and may further pose threats to the safety of vessels and crews. It is necessary to find a common link between the relevant areas and to strive to remove the root causes of marine accidents by reducing marine litter.

The Edwards-Vilgis slip-link theory and the Kaliske-Heinrich extended tube theory were tested experimentally using published experimental data on networks of natural and isoprene rubber and on polysiloxane networks. All parameters were adjusted to achieve an optimum fit. The data description obtained with the EV theory is not satisfactory and the parameter values tend to lie outside their reasonably expected range. But for the region of low strains, the Kaliske-Heinrich theory offers a satisfactorily accurate data description which is able to serve for practical purposes. Its crosslink term, however, is based on approximations which lead to a questionable prediction and values determined for the exponent in the entanglement term lie outside the range expected by the KH model. Thus, the title question cannot be given a positive answer. Conclusions published earlier that the trapped entanglements contribute both to the crosslink and constraint (entanglement) term are supported by the present data analysis. Experimental equibiaxial data on hydrocarbon networks do not show any maximum on their stretch ratio dependence, contrary to the predictions of molecular theories. The stretch ratio dependences of relative reduced stresses do not sensitively reflect differences in the chemical nature of the chain backbone (hydrocarbon vs. siloxane) and in the crosslinking method (end-linking vs. random crosslinking).

동시중합방법으로 에폭시수지와 castor oil형 폴리우레탄수지로 상호침투고분자(IPNs)를 형성하였다. 사슬연장제인 1,4-butanediol (BD)가 가교제인 BD/trimethylolpropane(TMP)에 따라 두 종류의 폴리우레탄(PU)을 제조했다. PU가 증가함에 따라, BD를 사슬연장제로 사용한 PU/epoxy가 BD/TMP를 가교제로 사용한 PU/epoxy SINs보다 damping피크의 이동이 컸다. BDPU/epoxy SINs는 BD/TMP-PU/epoxy SINs에 비해 사용성이 좋았다. 이러한 두 구조에서, 사슬연장제와 가교제에 따라 PU/epoxy SINs의 특이한 netwok 형성이 상혼합의 정도를 변화시켰음을 가정하였다. PU의 사슬연장제의 종류가 IPNs의 상혼합을 결정하는 중요한 인자였다. BD/TMP-PU의 반응이 에폭시수지의 가교반응보다 빠를 때, 가교구조의 entanglement가 감소하여 상혼합정도가 감소하였다. 두 PU/epoxy SINs는 굴곡특성과 파괴인성이 증가하였다. BDPU/epoxy SINs와 BD/TMP-PU/epoxy SINs의 파괴단면에서 PU의 공동화에 의한 응력백화현상과 전단변형을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 방수시트재를 위한 아스팔트의 styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)와 styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS)에 의한 개질에 있어서 자가치유성을 가지는 개질아스팔트 방수시트재의 연화점(softening point), 침입도(penetration), 저온굴곡저항성능(low temperature flexibility), 점도(viscosity) 및 부착성능(adhesion) 등의 물성을 관찰하고, 반응표면분석법(response surface methodology, RSM)을 활용하여 아스팔트 질량 대비 SBS와 SIS의 적정조성을 도출하고 자가치유성을 가지는 개질아스팔트 방수시트재의 물성을 최적화하였다. 고온에서 측정이 수행되는 연화점과 점도는 SBS 또는 SIS의 함량이 증가함에 따라서 유의하게 값이 증가하였다. 그러나 함량 대비 연화점과 점도 증가분은 SBS 경우가 SIS보다 커짐이 관찰되었다. 이러한 원인은 SBS와 SIS의 열적거동의 차이 때문인데, SBS는 고온에서 점도 상승을 동반하는 겔화(gelation)가 되어 가교도가 커지나 SIS는 점도감소를 초래하는 폴리이소프렌 블록의 사슬분리(chain scission) 때문에 사슬꼬임(chain entanglement)이 상대적으로 적어지기 때문이다. 반면에 SIS-SBS 개질아스팔트는 상온에서 측정되는 침입도, 부착성능 및 저온굴곡성능에 대하여, 아스팔트 63 g을 기본으로 SIS 4~5 g과 SBS 8.5 g의 조성에서 최소 탄성거동을 나타내어 최대 침입도 및 최대 부착성능과 최저 저온굴곡성능 값을 보였다.

Rheological Properties of polypropylenes having different molecular structures (linear polypropylene (PPL) and branched one (PPB)) were studied. Both the extensional flow and oscillatory shear flow properties were checked. Especially, the melt strength of polypropylenes having various shear history were investigated by using in-house-made Rheometer (called SMER). Compared to linear polypropylene, the branched polypropylene shows enhanced melt strength during extensional flow due to the retarded relaxation of molecules. When the slope of melt tension was plotted against take up speed of melt strand, the characteristic peak was observed in case of branched polypropylene, while the linear polypropylene shows only monotonously decreasing pattern. This entanglement was partially disrupted by physical forces such as shear during melt extrusion. However, the melt strength of PPB after multiple extrusion is still higher than PPL, implying the loss of elasticity during multiple extrusion is not so comprehensive. On dynamic experiments, PPB shows typical shear thinning behavior and the tangent delta of PPB is lower than PPL, reflecting high elasticity of PPB.

Nanofishing enabled us to stretch a single polymer chain with picking it at its two modified termini using atomic force microscope (AFM). Stress-strain curves obtained to date had been the result on slow pulling events and therefore observed phenomena had been interpreted as quasi-static responses. In this study, we extended the capability of nanofishing to the phenomena far from equilibrium state by giving much faster pulling speeds. We could observe a momental increase entanglement and a successive stress relaxation.

We have investigated the dynamic mechanical behavior of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) irradiated with varying doses of gamma rays. A relaxation peak in the loss factor curve, which has not been reported previously in the literature, is observed at a temperature above the crystal melting temperature. The peak is unique to UHMWPE and appears to be related to the high degree of entanglement. Because the temperature and intensity of the peak are reduced by irradiation-induced chain scission and crosslinking, respectively, we believe that the peak is associated with disentanglement relaxation. The behavior of the storage modulus in the melt state agrees with the classical theory of rubber elasticity.

에폭시수지와 caster oil(CO)형 폴리우레탄(PU)은 상호침투고분자(IPNs)를 형성하였다. 사슬연장제인 polypropylene ether glycol(PPG)와 가교제인 CO를 사용하여 두 종류의 폴리우레탄을 제조했다. CO를 이용한 COPU/epoxy의 동시중합 상호침투고분자(SINs)는 PPG를 이용한 PPGPU/epoxy SINs보다 상용성이 좋았다. PPGPU/epoxy SINs의 전조성에서 가교구조의 얽힘정도가 감소함에 따라 굴곡강도가 감소하였다. COPU/epoxy SINs은 PPGPU/epoxy SINs에 비해 기계적 물성과 파괴인성이 우수하였다. 실험 결과, 모든 SINs의 파괴단면에서 폴리우레탄의 공동화에 의한 응력백화 현상보다는 전단변형과 크랙의 편향이 관찰되었다.
