In this study, we investigated for synthetic hydrotalcite in chloroprene rubber foam. Experiments were carried out to find the optimum content ratio by controlling the contents of MgO and Hydrotalcite. Swelling test in toluene immersion was made to measure the crosslinking density of CR foams, and the cure properties were investigated with flat die rheometer and Mooney viscosity. The difference of hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break were observed after immersing in 7% NaCl or 21% NaCl solutions for a day and four days. In addition, the volume change and water content remaining in CR foam were measured after immersing NaCl solution. As content of MgO increased, the value of the cure torque tended to increase, but it was almost constant above 2phr of MgO. However, the Mooney viscosity decreased with increasing MgO content. The crosslinking density, determined by the swelling ratio, showed that the CR compound without MgO showed a higher degree of swelling. When the content of hydrotalcite/MgO was 3:2, it was the lowest volume change of CR form. Also, As the content of hydrotalcite decreased, the difference of mechanical properties before and after immersion NaCl solution increased.

기계적 혼련법으로 butadiene rubber(BR)과 대표적인 결정성고무인 chloroprene rubber(CR) 블렌드 혼련물을 제조하여, 이들의 가교 거동, 기계적 성질, 내오존성 및 동적 기계적 성질 등을 검토하였다. 내오존시험에 있어서 50 wt% CR 고무의 첨가에 의하여 크게 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다. Rheovibron에 의한 동적 계적 특성 측정의 결과로부터 BR/CR 블렌드는 두 개의 전이를 보였으며 $tan{\delta}$ 피이크의 위치는 CR 고무의 함량이 증가함에 따라 고온 쪽으로 이동함을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 CR 고무량이 증가할수록 최적 가황시간이 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

In order to develop an ultra-high-density elastomeric material for substitution of steel dynamic dampers, a new curing system and technique for high-loading of the filler were examined in this study. Mechanochemical modification of chloroprene rubber (MAH-g-CR) using an internal mixer was carried out with maleic anhydride (MAH) as a reactive monomer. The optimum amount of MAH was 10 phr and the efficient grafting of MAH on CR could be achieved at a mixing temperature of 100℃. After preparing MAH-g-CR, 50 mol% epoxidized natural rubber (ENR 50) was blended with MAH-g-CR to develop a "self-curable rubber blend system" via reaction between the functional groups of the elastomeric matrices without the curing agent and additives. The content of ENR 50 was fixed at 30 wt.% throughout evaluation of the curing behavior of the MAH-g-CR/ENR blend. Tungsten powder was added to the MAH-g-CR/ENR matrix up to 60 vol.% to obtain ultra-high-density, and the maximum density obtained was 7.57 g/㎤. Stable ts2 (scorch time) and t90 (90% cure time) could be obtained even when tungsten powder was incorporated up to 60 vol.%. In addition, the tensile strength and damping properties of MAH-g-CR/ENR containing 60 vol.% of tungsten were better than those of CR containing 60 vol.% of tungsten.

It has been studied the graft copolymerization of glycidyl-methacrylate monomer containing two functional groups (vinyl- & epoxyl-) to chloroprene rubber. The reaction occured in the manner of chain transfer mechanism was carried out by means of solution polymerization in toluene in the presence of benzoyl peroxide as the radical initiator. The graft copolymer obtained from this work was analyzed by using IR spectrum, and the physical properties of the polymer such as the thermal behavior were also studied according to TG-DTA methods, and the potency of adhesiveness for the purpose of commercial application was investigated. Experimental results for the graft copolymerization are summarized as follows. 1) A small amount of initiator (0.5%) and 50% of monomer showed the best result for the grafting of monomer to the polymer chain of rubber while the 15% of rubber solution was found to be most suitable to raise either for the grafting ratio or the polymerization ratio. 2) Optimum temperature for better yield of graft copolymer was proved to he at $75^{\circ}C\sim80^{\circ}C$ while those of reaction time was to be $1\sim2$ hours.

본 연구에서는 $FeCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O,\;(CH_2)_6N_4$ (hexamethylene tetramine) 그리고 $NaNO_2$로부터 $Fe_3O_4$ (magnetite)를 제조하고 결정성 CR고무에 배합하여 전도성 충전제의 함량이 물성에 미치는 효과와 전기전도도 (${\sigma}$)의 온도 의존성을 조사하였다. 최소 최적 혼합비(percolation threshold, $P_c$) 개념이 본 연구에서 제조한 전도성 입자가 충전된 복합체에 적용되며, 혼합물내 $Fe_3O_4$의 분율이 27%를 초과할 때 전기전도도가 급격히 증가함을 확인하였다. 전기전도도의 온도 의존성은 $P_c$ 또는 그 이하에서 열적으로 활성화되며 magnetite가 CR 고무의 강화 및 전도성 충전제로서의 역할을 할 수 있음을 조사하였다. 또한, 50 phr의 magnetite가 충전된 복합체가 최적의 물리적 가교점으로 인하여 가장 우수한 인장강도와 파단시 신장율을 보였으며 모듈러스가 magnetite 의 강화효과 및 블랜드물의 가황 토오크 곡선으로부터 얻은 점도와 관련이 있음을 확인하였다.

계면상 조건과 섬유 함유량 변화에 따른 단섬유 강화 CR의 동적특성에 대해 주파수, 진폭 그리고 온도를 함수로 실험적 고찰을 하였다. 진폭 변형률 증가에 따라 LF는 1.33% 이상에서 약간 증가하였고, DR은 크게 감소하였다. 주파수 증가에 따라 LF는 특히 50Hz 이후 크게 감소하였고, DR은 기지고무보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 온도 증가에 따라 LF는 $65^{\circ}$에서 최대 값을 나타내고 이후 크게 감소세를 보였다. DR은 온도가 증가에 따라 기지고무 보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 일반적으로 동일한 시험 조건에서 계면상이 우수할수록 LF와 DR이 낮은 값을 보였다. 따라서 단섬유 강화고무는 진동 수비가 $\sqrt{2}$ 이하보다는 $\sqrt{2}$ 이상에서 더 큰 진동절연 효과가 있다고 할 수 있다.

미네랄 오일을 결합재로 사용하는 탄소반죽전극은 효소의 특성 연구 분야에서 효과적으로 활용되고 있으나 전극이 기계적 경도가 없으므로 실용화의 가능성은 없다. 본 실험실에서는 톨루엔에 녹인 고무 용액이 탄소가루의 결합재로 사용될 때 탄소반죽의 기계적 물성이 얻어지는 것을 확인하였다. 클로로프렌 고무 용액을 이용하여 만든 전극이 정량적인 전기화학적 행동을 보이는지 확인하기 위하여 여러 가지 속도론적 파라메터 즉 대칭인자($\alpha$, 0.28), 교환전류밀도 ($i_0$, $4.06{\mu}A/cm^2$), 이중층의 축전용량($C_d$, $2.11{\times}10^{-3}F$), Michaelis 상수($K_M$, $2.45{\times}10^{-3}M$), 시간상수(${\tau}_B$, 0.077 sec) 등을 구하였다. 이 실험적 사실들은 클로로프렌 고무가 탄소반죽전극의 실용화에 전망 좋은 결합재임을 입증하였다.

Chloroprene is a chlorine substituent of 1,3-butadiene. Butadiene rubber (BR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) composites were thermally aged at 60, 70, 80, and $90^{\circ}C$ for 2 - 185 days in a convection oven and changes of the crosslink densities by the accelerated thermal aging were investigated. The crosslink densities increased as the aging time elapsed and as the aging temperature became higher. Degrees of the crosslink density changes of the BR composite were on the whole larger than those of the CR one except the short-term thermal aging at 60 and $70^{\circ}C$. The crosslink densities abnormally increased after themal aging at high temperatures for a long time. Activation energies for the crosslink density changes of the rubber composites tended to increase with increase of the aging time and the variation showed a local minimum. The activation energies of the CR composite were lower than those of the BR one. The experimental results were explained with a role of ligand of chlorine atom of CR in a zinc complex, steric hindrance by chlorine atom of CR, and oxidation of rubber chain.

Evaluating service lives of rubber materials at certain temperatures requires a destructive method (typically using elongation at break). In this study, a non-destructive method based on hardness change rate was proposed for evaluating the service life of chloroprene rubber (CR). Compared to the destructive method, this non-destructive method ensures homogeneity of CR specimens and requires a small number of samples. Thermal accelerated degradation test was conducted on the CR specimens at 55, 70, 85, 100, and 125℃, and the tensile strength, elongation at break, and hardness were measured. The results of the experiment were compared to those of the accelerated life evaluation method proposed in this study. Comparing the analyzed lives in the high temperature region (70, 85, 100, and 125℃), the difference between the service lives for the destructive method (using the elongation at break) and non-destructive method (using the hardness) was approximately 0.1 year. Therefore, it was confirmed that the proposed non-destructive evaluation method based on hardness changes can evaluate the actual life of CR under thermally accelerated degradation conditions.

In this work, CR (Chloroprene Rubber) was emulsified by phase-inversion emulsification with nonionic surfactants (NP-1025, LE-1017, and OP-1019) and an anionic surfactant (SDBS; sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate), and its stabilization was investigated through a study of its adsorption characteristics, zeta potential, and flow behavior. As the amount of the mixed surfactant increased, the droplet size decreased, resulting in the increase of viscosity. In particular, a CR emulsion with a lower absorbance in the UV spectrum exhibited the highest zeta potential. The results of this experiment showed that the CR emulsion prepared using (LE-1017) and SDBS was the most stable. In this study, calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide were added to enhance the mechanical properties of the CR emulsion, and the relationship between tensile strength, tear strength and surface free energy were investigated. The tensile and tear strengths of the CR emulsion incresed as the amount of calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide increased. The highest tensile and tear strengths and surface free energy were observed for additions of 1.0% calcium hydroxide and 0.80% aluminum hydroxide, respectively. It was concluded that the interfacial bonding strength was improved by the even dispersion of calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide in the CR emulsion.
