Crosslink density of a rubber vulcanizate determines the chemical and physical properties, while bound rubber is an important factor to estimate reinforcement of a filled rubber compound. Extender oil is added to a raw rubber with very high molecular weight for improving processability of a rubber composite. Influence of extender oil on crosslink density, bound rubber formation, and physical properties of solution styrene-butadiene rubber (SSBR) composites with differing microstructures was investigated. Crosslink densities of non-oil-extended SSBR (NO-SSBR) vulcanizates were higher than those of oil-extended SSBR (OE-SSBR) ones. Bound rubber contents of NO-SSBR compounds were also greater than those of OE-SSBR ones. The experimental results could be explained by interfering of extender oil. The OE-SSBR vulcanizates had low modulus but long elongation at break, whereas the NO-SSBR ones had high modulus but short elongation at break. It was found that the crosslink densities affected the physical properties more than the bound rubber contents. The moduli increased with increase in the crosslink density irrespective of extender oil, while the elongation at break decreased. Each variation of the tensile strengths of NO-SSBR and OE-SSBR vulcanizates with the crosslink density showed a decreasing trend. Tear strength of the OE-SSBR vulcanizate increased with increase in the crosslink density, whereas variation of the tear strength of NO-SSBR vulcanizate with the crosslink density showed a weak decreasing trend.

This study was conducted to discuss the effects of hardener and extender contents on peak temperature, reaction enthalpy (${\Delta}H$), gelation time, viscosity change, and pH value in three types of UMF (urea-melamine- formaldehyde) resin with the help of perpHecT LogR meter, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and advanced rheometric expansion system (ARES), The results indicated that the pH value of Control A steeply decreased to 5,2 in the early stage but relatively remained constant thereafter as in Synthesis 1 and Synthesis 2, The peak temperature and time decreased as well, whereas ${\Delta}H$ and viscosity increased with the increase of hardener content. On the other hand, ${\Delta}H$ was not changed up to the extender content of 5% and then decreased with its further addition, And the pH value and peak temperature showed no change with the increase of extender content at the hardener content of 5% in three types of UMF resin, The effect of hardener content in this experiment, however, appeared more conspicuous in Control A than in the other two types of Synthesis 1 and Synthesis 2, These results might be caused by higher molecular weight with longer chains of methylene ($-CH_2-$) and methylene ($-CH_2-O-CH_2-$) ether bridges or much more branched chains in Control A.

The use of high amylose maize varieties significantly affected the alkaline-cooking process and characteristics of alkaline-processed food products, such as masa and tortilla chips. High amylose maize varieties had softer endosperm textures with move tightly attached pericarps than normal maize. Masa prepared from high amylose mutant maize was less cohesive than that of normal maize due to insufficient dispersion of amylopectin and excessive retrogradation of starches. Tortilla chips prepared from amylose-extender dull (ae du), amylomaize V, and Ⅶ had slightly increased oil absorption, while tortilla chips from dull (du) and amylose-extender sugary-2 (ae su-2) had oil contents similar to that of control chips. Increased oil absorption of the tortilla chips was due to their increased surface area. Tortilla chips produced from high amylose mutant maize had darker color than control chips, presumably due to the pigmented pericarp tissues, higher levels of reducing sugars, and phenolic compounds present in the kernel.

본 연구에서는 폴리(테트라메틸렌 글리콜)(PTMG), 폴리카프로락톤(PCL) 및 isophron diisocyanate(IPDI)와 dimethylol propionic acid(DMPA)를 이용하여 물에 분산이 가능한 수분산계 폴리우레탄을 제조하였다. 또한, 사슬연장제의 함량을 변화시키면서 입도분석과 기계적 물성 등을 시험하였다. 유화된 폴리우레탄의 입경은 50~200 nm이었으며, PCL과 사슬연장제의 함량이 많을수록 작아졌으며, $T_g$는 -70~-45 ${\circ}C$ 범위이고 사슬연장제의 함량이 증가함에 따라 $T_g$는 다소 상승하였다. PTMG와 PCL을 혼합하여 합성한 폴리우레탄의 $T_g$는 이들을 각각 사용하여 합성한 $T_g$와 비슷하게 나타났다. 인장강도는 PCL과 사슬연장제의 함량이 증가할수록 높아졌으며 신율은 낮아졌다. 폴리올을 혼합하였을 경우에는 단독으로 합성한 것보다 전반적으로 기계적 물성이 저하되는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 hard segment 함량(%)별로 친수성의 폴리우레탄 프리폴리머를 합성한 후 다양한 발포 혼합 조성액을 이용하여 폴리우레탄 폼을 제조하였다. 그 결과 사슬연장제를 도입한 폴리우레탄 프리폴리머가 도입하지 않은 것에 비해 기계적 물성이 우수하였다. 또한 폴리우레탄 구조에 hard segment 함량(%)을 높임으로써 폴리우레탄의 기계적 물성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 한편 발포 혼합조성액에서도 F-68, 글리세린, CMC 등의 원료 배합비를 조정함으로써 최종적으로 제조된 폴리우레탄 폼의 기계적 물성과 흡수도, 흡수속도, 모폴로지 등을 조절할 수 있었다. 제조된 폴리우레탄 폼은 세포배양 결과 세포적합성이 우수하였고, 동물실험 결과 대조군인 거즈에 비하여 월등한 창상치유 효과를 보였으므로 창상치료용 소재로서의 적용 가능성이 높음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of using different amounts of potato puree (PP) (10 or 20%) and 10% bread crumbs (BC) as an extender and also control samples (C) with no added extender on chemical composition, energy values, cooking analyses, colour measurements, water holding capacity (WHC), penetration values, thiobarbituric acid value (TBA) and sensory analyses of meatballs. Meatball samples were cooked in a pre-heated $180^{\circ}C$ electric oven. Uncooked meatballs formulated with 20% PP had the highest moisture content. No significant differences were recorded for protein contents of uncooked samples. The highest cooking yield was found in samples extended with 10% BC. Increasing PP from 10% to 20% increased cooking yield of meatballs. 20% PP increased moisture and fat retention values and water holding capacity of meatballs. Meatballs with 10% BC had the lowest (the hardness in the texture) and meatballs with the 20% PP had the highest (the softness in the texture) penetration values. Formulating meatballs at a level of 20% resulted lower $L^*$ values. TBA values of control samples were higher than in PP added samples at the end of the storage period. Flavour scores for meatballs formulated with PP were higher than control and meatballs formulated with BC. Meatballs formulated with 10% PP had similar overall acceptability with meatballs added with 10% BC.

This study deals with the mechanical properties of polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) mortars without crosslinking agent. Waste expanded polystyrene(EPS) is used as a multifunctional admixture such as a thickener, a extender, a shrinkage reducing agent, a assistant to polymerization. PMMA mortars are prepared with various EPS contents of binder and subjected to a dry and a dry/heat combined curing, and tested for working life, flexural and compressive strengths. From the test results, the working life of PMMA mortars without crosslinking agent is shortened with raising EPS content of binder. The flexural and compressive strengths of the PMMA Mortars are decreased somewhat with increase in the EPS content. PMMA mortars with good mechanical properties could be manufactured without any crosslinking agent and their properties would be controled by adjusting EPS content of binder.

Through the sampling four rice cultivars with differing amylose contents, the relationship between the structural and gelatinization properties of endosperm starches was analyzed. These rice varieties exhibited different chain length distribution ratio within the amylopectin cluster as well as varing amylose levels. The proportion of amylopectin short chains of in Goami cutlivars was higher than the other varieties, whereas the Goami 2 which shows amylose extender mutant properties in the endosperm showed the highest proportion of long chains. In X-ray diffraction analysis of rice starches, the Goami 2 variety displayed a B-type pattern whereas the other varieties were all A-type. Among the cultivars with high and normal rice starch levels, those with the higher amylose contents showed distinctly lower swelling. Goami 2 rice was found to have the highest onset and peak gelatinization temperature from the differential scanning calorimetry results. The four rice cultivars under analysis also showed different rates of hydrolysis by amyloglucosidase. These findings suggest that the composition and chemical structure of the starch content is a major determinant of both the gelatinization and functional properties of rice.

The coal fly ash (CFA) may be utilized as an extender for organic waste composting at the same time fully expected to solve all industrial waste disposal and sawdust tribe. The main objective in this study was to evaluate the effect of CFA addition as a bulking agent for swine manure composting. To determine the suitable addition rate of CFA as a bulking agent, 0, 10, 20 and 30% of saw dust were mixed with 30, 20, 10 and 0% of coal fly ash, respectively. Compost quality for swine manure composting was to evaluate temperature, pH, C/N ratio, and phytotoxicity as germination index. Stability of compost increased with increasing levels of CFA as bulking agent during swine manure composting due to the high alkaline materials including CFA. C to N ratio in treatment added CFA was higher than that of the control without CFA. After finishing composting, germination index of lettuce and cabbage in swine manure compost added 10% of CFA was similar to the control, all the heavy metal contents were far below the stipulated standard for organic farming. These results indicated tahr coal fly ash as bulking agents might be alternative materials to save saw dust and apply industrial products for swine manure composting.
