  • High internal phase emulsions are highly concentrated emulsion systems consisting of a large volume of dispersed phase above 0.74. The rheological properties of high internal phase water-in-oil emulsions were measured conducting steady shear, oscillatory shear and creep/recovery experiments. It was found that the yield stress is inversely proportional to the drop size with the exponent of values between 1 and 2. Since the oil phase contains monomeric species, microcellular foams can easily be prepared from high internal phase emulsions. In this study, the microcellular foams combining a couple of thickeners into the conventional formulation of styrene and water system were investigated to understand the effect of viscosity ratio on cell size. Cell size variation on thickener concentration could be explained by a dimensional analysis between the capillary number and the viscosity ratio. Compression properties of foam are important end use properties in many practical applications. Crush strength and Young's modulus of microcellular foams polymerized from high internal phase emulsions were measured and compared from compression tests. Of the foams tested in this study, the foam prepared from the organoclay having reactive group as an oil phase thickener showed outstanding compression properties.

  • Open microcellular foams having small-sized cell and good mechanical properties are desirable for many practical applications. As an effort to reduce the cell size, the microcellular foams combining viscosity improvers into the conventional formulation of styrene and water system were prepared via high internal phase emulsion polymerization. Since the material properties of foam are closely related to the solution properties of emulsion state before polymerization, the flow behavior of emulsions was investigated using a controlled stress rheometer. The yield stress and the storage modulus increased as viscosity improver concentration and agitation speed increased, due to the reduced cell size reflecting both a competition between the continuous phase viscosity and the viscosity ratio and an increase of shear force. Appreciable tendency was found between the rheological data of emulsions and the cell sizes of polymerized foams. Cell size reduction with the concentration of viscosity improver could be explained by the relation between capillary number and viscosity ratio. A correlative study for the cell size reduction with agitation speed was also attempted and the result was in a good accordance with the hydrodynamic theory.

  • Viscarin is a tradename given to viscosifying carrageenans manufactured by FMC BioPolymer. The suitability of Vis car ins as rheology agents in mild cleansing applications has been investigated. Rheological properties, foam volume and clarity were measured to determine the impact of including 1 % Viscarin on 10% solutions of the following surfactants: acylglutamate, cocoamidopropyl betaine, PEG-80 laurate, sodium lauryl sulphate and sodium lauryol sarcosinate. Viscosity, pseudoplasticity and thixotropy of Viscarin/surfactant solutions varied with surfactant type. In all cases, the addition of Viscarin substantially increased viscosity. For example, at a shear rate of 1 sol, all surfactant solutions had viscosities <0.1 Pa s while viscosities of Viscarin/surfactant solutions ranged from 10 to 60 Pa s. By comparison, a solution of 1 % Viscarin had a viscosity of 0.3 Pa s. Clarity of surfactant solutions decreased in all cases on the addition of Viscarin. However, it was found that by including a mild solubilizing surfactant, such as PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil, crystal clarity could be maintained in Viscarin/surfactant solutions. Viscarin increased the foam volume of sodium lauryolsarcosinate solutions from 10 ml to 220 ml and had no impact on the foam volume of the other surfactants tested. These results were used to formulate a clear, ultra-mild foaming cleansing gel based on sodium lauryol sarcosinate and Viscarin without the need for a secondary, foam-boasting surfactant. A mild shampoo was also formulated. Both products have excellent skin-feel and are capable of suspending bubbles and solid inclusions.

  • An oil-tolerant and salt-resistant aqueous foam system was screened out as a possible lubricant to enable cold heavy oil transportation. The microstructures and viscoelasticity and effects of heavy oil, salt and temperature on the foam stability were investigated and new rheological and drainage models were established. The results indicate the foam with multilayered shells belongs to a special microcellular foam. The viscoelasticity could be neglected due to its low relaxation time. The drainage process can be divided into three stages. The foam with quality of 67.9% maintains great stability at high oil and salt concentrations and appropriate elevated temperature.

  • Low Reynolds number, dilute, and surfactant-free bubble suspensions are prepared by mechanical mixing after introducing carbon dioxide bubbles into a Newtonian liquid, polyol. The apparent shear viscosity is measured with a wide-gap parallel plate rheometer by imposing a simple shear flow of capillary numbers(Ca) of the order of $10^{-2}$ ~ $10^{-1}$ and for various gas volume fractions ($\phi$). Effects of capillary numbers and gas volume fractions on the viscosity of polyol foam are investigated. At high capillary number, viscosity of the suspension increases as the gas volume fraction increases, while at low capillary number, the viscosity decreases as the gas volume fraction increases. An empirical constitutive equation that is similar to the Frankel and Acrivos equation is proposed by fitting experimental data. A numerical simulation for deformation of a single bubble suspended in a Newtonian fluid is conducted by using a newly developed two-dimensional numerical code using a finite volume method (FVM). Although the bubble is treated by a circular cylinder in the two dimensional analysis, numerical results are in good agreement with experimental results.

  • 단열용도의 폴리우레탄 미세포 포움의 가공에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 미세포 구조 를 얻기 위해서는 핵생성율을 증진시키고 균일한 분포의 기포를 생성시켜야 한다. 이를 위 해 이산화탄소 기체를 풀리올과 이소시아네이트에 각각 과포화시키고 충돌혼합하여 초음파 가진을 적용하였다. 이산화탄소 기체가 수지 내부에서 기포 내부로 확산함에 따라 기포의 성장이 조절된다고 가정하고 금형이 충전되는 동안에 금형 내부에서의 기포성장기구를 이해 하기 위하여 수치적인 방법으로 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 경화 시간과 확산 경계를 고려 하여 최종적인 기포의 크기를 계산하였으며 반응속도론을 고려하여 중합반응동안의 폴리우 레탄의 점도의 변화를 예측하고 경화 시간을 결정하였다. 실험적으로 결정된 기체 분자수를 기준으로 하여 이론적으로 확산경계를 예측하였다. 화학적 발포제인 물과 함께 물리적 발포 제인 이산화탄소를 각각 1,2,3기압의 포화압력으로 변화시키면서 폴리올과 이소시아네이트에 포화시켜 폴리우레탄 포움을 제작하고 제작된 포움의 밀도, 열전도도, 및 기포의 수와 지름 을 측정하였다. 측정된 결과로부터 이산화탄소의 포화압력과 초음파 가진이 포움의 기포핵 생성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다.

  • The physical and rheological properties of thermoplasticized irradiation-crosslinked polyethylene foam using supercritical methanol treatment were investigated by GPC, FTIR, DSC, WAXS, DMTA and UDS. The polyethylene foam was selectively decrosslinked into thermoplasticized polyethylene in an appropriate supercritical methanol condition without any undesirable side reactions such as oxidation and disproportionation. The thermoplasticization was promoted with increasing reaction temperature to reach completion above $380^{\circ}C$. The supercritical reaction condition affected the crystallization behavior, and mechanical and rheological properties of the decrosslinked polyethylene foam, but not its crystallographic structure or crystallinity.

  • 다공성 매질내의 거품(foam)은 가스상의 이동성을 감소시키는 특성을 가진다. 이러한 성질은 석유산업에서 중력으로 인한 유체유동을 방지하거나 산(acid)을 이용하여 유정(wellbore) 근처 유체투과율이 낮은 지층을 처리하는데도 사용될 뿐만 아니라, 지하 대수층의 오염물 회수율을 높이는 데도 사용된다. 최근의 연구결과를 통하여 다공성 매질 내 거품의 유동은 유동영역(flow regime)에 의하여 크게 영향을 받는다는 사실을 규명하였다. 이 논문은 실험자료와 수치해석기법을 이용하여, 지하 오염물질 정화를 위한 거품 유동분할 작업의 타당성에 관한 연구이다. 두 종류의 유체 투과율(k=9.1과 30.4 darcy)을 가지고 실험한 결과, 대수층 조건과 비슷한 실험환경에서도 정상상태의 거품은 유동영역에 따라 다른 성질을 보인다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 거품의 질이 낮은 영역(low-quality regime)에 있는 거품은 shear thinning 거동을 보이며 고질영역(high-quality regime)에 있는 거품은 Newtonian 거동과 유사하였다. 이상의 실험 결과를 유체투과율이 서로 다른 두 지층에 대하여 거품의 유동분할을 예측하기 위하여 간단한 수치해석 모델을 개발하였다. 수치해석의 결과로부터 고질영역에 있는 거품은 유동분할 양상을 보였지만 저질영역에 있는 거품은 그렇지 않았다. 민감도 분석의 결과 고질영역에서의 유동분할은 각 지층들의 한계 모세관압, 즉 거품이 생성되고 유지되기 위한 최소 모세관압에 의해 좌우된다는 사실을 확인하였다.

  • 폴리에테르형 기포개방제를 사용한 고탄성 폴리우레탄 발포체의 제조에서 기포개방제의 농도변화가 계의 반응속도, 유변학적 성질, 발포체의 구조적인 안정성, 형태학적 성질 및 개방기포의 함량 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 이를 통하여 기포개방에서 기포개방제의 역할을 알아보았다. 또한 기포개방제의 농도에 따른 발포체의 기계적 물성을 관찰하였다. 기포개방제의 높은 친수성으로 인해 우레아 생성반응이 지연됨을 관찰하였다. 유변학적 성질의 관찰을 통하여 기고개방제의 농도 증가에 따라 계의 점도저하와 tan $\delta$의 증가를 확인하였고 이로 인해 얻어진 발포체는 낮은 구조적인 안정성과 높은 개방기포 함량을 나타내었다. 기포개방제의 농도 증가에 따라 matrix의 파괴와 matrix내 수소결합된 우레아의 고른 분산을 발포체의 형태학적 성질의 관찰로 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 고탄성 폴리우레탄 발포체의 제조시 기포개방제의 높은 친수성에 기인하여 matrix의 탄성특성 저하가 일어나고 이로 인해 높은 개랑기포 함량을 가진 발포체가 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 발포체의 경도, 인장강도, 인열강도, 신율 등은 기포개방제의 농도 증가에 따라 저하하였다.
