Two-stage emulsion polymerizations of hydrophobic monomers on hydrophilic seed polymer particles were carried out to make core-shell composite particles. It was found that the loci of polymerization in the second stage were the surface layer of the hydrophilic seed latex particles, and that it has resulted in the formation of either eccentric core-shell particles with the core exposed to the aqueous phase or aggregated nonspherical composite particles with the shell attached on the seed surface as many small separated particles. The driving force of these phenomena is related to the gain in free energy of the system in going from the hydrophobic polymer-water interface to hydrophilic polymer-water interface. Thermodynamic analysis of the present polymerization system, which was based on spreading coefficients, supported the likely occurrence of such nonspherical particles due to the combined effects of interfacial free energies and phase separation between the two polymer phases. A hypothetical pathway was proposed to prepare hydrophilic core-hydrophobic shell composite latex particles, which is based on the concept of opposing driving and resistance forces for the phase migration. It was found that the viscosity of the monomer-swollen polymer phase played important role in the formation of particle morphology.

Film properties of monodispersed model composite latexes with particle size of 190 nm, which consist of n-butyl acrylate as a soft phase monomer and methyl methacrylate as a hard phase monomer with different morphology was examined. Five different types of model latexes were used in this study such as random copolymer particle, soft-core/hard-shell particle, hard-core/soft-shell particle, gradient type particle, and mixed type particle. Tensile strength and tensile elongation at break of final films were evaluated. Those properties can be interpreted in terms of PBA/PMMA phase ratio and their morphology. The interfacial adhesion strength was also evaluated using $180^{\circ}$ peel strength measurement and cross hatch cutting test.

High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) 필터를 시험하기 위하여 단분산 polystyrene latex spheres (PLS) 및 PS-MPS/실리카복합 나노구체가 이용되었다. 사용된 모든 나노구체들은 필터시험 전에 평균입경과 변동계수 값을 측정하여 시험용 인조먼지로서 적정함을 평가하였다. PLS 및 복합 나노구체의 입경은 유화중합 중 반응온도와 안정제의 양을 조절하여 100~300 nm 범위에서 잘 조절되었으며, 변동계수의 경우도 단분산 입자분포로 판단되는 15%보다 낮은 3~7% 범위이었다. 한편 HEPA 필터시험 결과는 사용된 모든 나노구체들이 공기필터의 시험을 위한 시험용 인조먼지로서 아주 적절함을 보여주었다.

Monodisperse composite latex particles with size of ca. 300 nm, which consist ofn-butyl acrylate as a soft phase and methyl methacrylate as a hard phase with different morphology, were synthesized by seeded multi-stage emulsion polymerization. Three types of composite latex particles including random-, core/shell-, and gradient-type particles were obtained by using different monomer feeding methods during semi-batch emulsion polymerization. Effect of poly(butyl acrylate)-poly(methyl methacrylate) rubber particle morphology on the mechanical and rheological properties of rubber toughened poly(methyl methacrylate) was investigated. Among three different rubber particles, the gradient-type rubber particle showed better toughening effect than others. No significant variation of rheological property of poly(methyl methacrylate)/rubber blends was observed for the different rubber particle morphology.

The most emphasized materials in the modern fashion are the elastic materials with the advent of sportswear. In the area of elastic materials, the technology of foaming plastics became main research area. As novel materials, latex and neoprene based fabrics are emerging for the elastic material, among those elastic material staged by renowned fashion designers. We searched those works through literature and pictures, and examined the physical properties. Neoprene composite with filament knit fabrics are excellent in strength and water-proof. Latex fabrics gave smooth feel and elastic feel. These may be adequate for aesthetic textile material. Based on these characteristics, these techno-texitiles will find broad applications in the fashionable materials.

Film forming behavior of monodispersed model composite latexes with particle size of 190 nm, which consist of n-butyl acrylate as a soft phase monomer and methyl methacrylate as a hard phase monomer with different morphology was examined. Five different types of model latexes were used in this study such as random copolymer particle, soft-core/hard-shell particle, hard-core/soft-shell particle, gradient type particle, and mixed type particle. The film forming behavior was evaluated using pseudo on-line measurements of the cumulative weight loss, the UV transmittance, and the tensile fracture energy. Each stages of film formation I, II were not sensitive to the morphology of model latexes, but stage-ill was largely dependent on the morphology of model latexes. The chain mobility of polymer which composed the shell component was found to dominantly determine the behavior of film forming stage-III.

유화중합을 이용하여 중량 평균입자크기가 $0.3{\mu}m{\sim}1.5{\mu}m$인 중공 라텍스 입자를 제조함에 있어 평균입자크기와 고형분 함량에 영향을 미치는 반응 인자를 조사하였다. 실험결과 유화제 (SDS)의 농도가 증가함에 따라 친수성 코어 폴리머의 크기가 작아졌으며, 친유성 스티렌 단량체 (styrene monomer)와 개시제 (SPS)의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 중공입자의 크기가 커졌다. 한편, 친수성 아크릴산의 첨가속도가 증가함에 따라 중공입자의 크기가 작아졌다. 또한, 스틸렌 단량체의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 에멀젼 폴리머의 고형분 함량이 선형적으로 증가하였다.

The core-shell latex particles were prepared by sequential emulsion polymerization using alkyl methacrylate as a shell monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. We study the effects of core-shell structure of calcium carbonate/alkyl methacrlyate in the presence of an anionic surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfate (EU-S133D)). The structure of core-shell polymer were investigated by measuring to the thermal decomposition of polymer composite using thermogravimetric analyzer and morphology of latex by transmission electron microscope (TEM).

In the case of fiber/rubber composites for tire applications, the interfacial adhesion between fiber and rubber significantly affects the physical properties of the finished products. Generally, organic synthetic fibers used for tire cords are treated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex(RFL) primer on the surface of the fiber to improve the adhesion to rubber. Changes of adhesion between rubber and tire cords might weaken as temperature rises due to overheating of car engine and friction with road. In this study, the effects of temperature on the primer treated polyketone cord/rubber composites and the changes in interfacial adhesion were investigated. Polyketone cord/rubber composites were prepared after RFL solution treatment on the surface of polyketone fibers. After that, composites was thermally aged at different temperature conditions(60, 80, 100, $120^{\circ}C$) and times(1, 5, 10, 15days). The adhesion strength of polyketone cord/rubber composite treated with RFL primer was higher than untreated composite by more than 3 times. After heat aging, the adhesion strength of untreated polyketone cord/rubber composites increased while the RFL treated polyketone cord/rubber composites decreased somewhat.

본 연구에서는 충격하중에 유리한 층 구조를 갖는 패각의 구조를 채용한 콘크리트 분절 복합체의 충격하중 성능을 평가하였다. 콘크리트 분절 복합체의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 콘크리트 블록 사이의 모르타르의 부착강도가 개선되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 모르타르의 부착강도를 향상시키기 위해 폴리머 모르타르를 적용하였다. 부착강도 실험에 따라 15% 라텍스 모르타르를 선정하였고, 일반 모르타르와 라텍스 모르타르를 적용한 부재에 대한 정하중 및 저속 충격하중 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 모르타르의 부착력이 향상된 분절복합체가 높은 충격하중 저항 능력을 보였다. 불연속 균열 모델을 이용한 비선형 유한요소해석과 충격하중 실험의 결과와 충격에너지 소산도가 유사하게 나타났다. 따라서 분절복합체 해석 모델의 개선을 통해 다양한 변수의 충격 저항 능력의 예상과 평가가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
