In this study, natural rubber latex foam was prepared in order to replace commercialized polyurethane foams as a car seat material. Physical properties of the latex foam were investigated and the light stability was improved. The latex foam was mixed in an aqueous solution state, and the degree of foaming and the accelerator ratios were appropriately controlled. Tensile properties, hysteresis and dynamic mechanical properties of the latex foam were measured to compare with those of polyurethane foams. UV light absorbers and radical scavengers were added for improving light stability of the latex foam. Xenon lamp test was conducted to investigate the effects of the reagents on light stability. Our results revealed that the prepared latex foam including a light absorber with an antioxidant showed excellent light stable performances.

Plastics are widely used in industry, because they are light, easily manufactured, and have high specific strength. And many researches to increase the strengths and to reduce the price are being conducted at now. One of these researches is concerning to additives. Foaming techniques are used to endow insulation properties, to improve specific strength, or reduce the material cost. Due to their unique properties, foamed plastics are applied to refrigerator, pipe, and insulators. Micro-cellular foaming is the latest foaming technique that was invented at 1980 in MIT. It is known that many tiny small cells are generated in the polymer matrices and micro-cellular foamed plastics show relatively high specific strength. We investigated the role of CaCO3 which is one of the most widely used additives in plastics industry as an additive for nucleation in view of cell morphology. CaCO3 used in this paper was treated to increase the dispersibility and to lower the density, so it has many pores at his body. Two experiments were conducted, in order to check the role of an additive for nucleation. One is compound-ability and the other one is role of nucleation agents.

신발 중창용 소재인 ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) 발포체의 인장강도, 반발탄성, 영구압축줄음율 (compression set) 등의 물성을 향상시킬 목적으로 ethylene-1-butene copolymer (EtBC)를 EVA에 블렌드하여 가교특성을 조사하였으며, 발포체를 제조한 후 셀의 구조적 특성 및 발포체의 기계적 물성을 조사하였다. EVA/EtBC 블렌드에서, EtBC의 함량이 증가할수록 블렌드의 점도 및 가교 밀도는 증가하여 oscillating disk rheometer (ODR)에서 높은 torque 값을 나타내었으며 발포배율은 감소하였다. 발포제 함량의 증가에 따라서 발포배율 및 셀의 크기는 증가하였다. 발포체를 동일 비중에서 비교하였을 경우, EtBC 함량이 증가할수록 EVA/EtBC 발포체의 인장강도, 영구압축줄음율, 반발탄성 등 기계적 물성이 우수해졌다.

Microcellular foamed plastic is a foaming technology that is safer to the environment and has no significant deterioration of mechanical properties compared to the conventional foamed plastic. Currently, the development of the injection-molding machine for microcellular plastic (MCP) is nearing completion. Currently, researches on the mass production system for the MCP injection-molding machine are under progress. The purpose of this paper is to design the gas supply system suitable for microcellular foaming in the injection-molding machine. For the design process, Axiomatic Approach, a powerful tool for design, will be used.

We use so many plastic products in everyday. Because polymer materials have a lot of merits including low cost and easiness of forming, they are widely used in many manufacturing industries. Microcellular foaming process was developed at MIT in 1980's to save a quantity of materials and increase mechanical properties. The improvement of strength is very important factor in relation with the reduction of mass. So the first purpose of this research is to improve the strength of the microcellular foamed plastics as variation of glass-fiber's volume friction. Also the characteristic of filler such as glass-fiber was presented in a microcellular foaming process.

In chemical forming process, mixed materials of LDPE, EVA and forming agent are used. However mechanical properties has been dropping remarkably through this forming process. In this study, Above materials(LDPE, EVA) were used in microcellular foaming injection process. And various effective factors in this process were selected by Axiomatic approach and systematically estimated by DOE(Design of Experiments). As a results, injection type and rate of mixing resins have more influence on forming rate than other factors.

As the purpose of this study is a research of series to obtain fundamental data on the development of the product of foamed concrete using bottom ash for various applications in the field, the main purpose is the light weight of product of concrete. In this experiment, method of mixing of foam is very important because it control specific gravity and strength of the product. As the test results, it was found that regardless of mixing method the grower the concentration of foaming agent the lower the specific gravity and the compressive strength of the specimen especially pre-foaming method. From a strength point of view, we knew that mix-foaming method and steam curing is efficient to obtain a adequate compressive strength of foamed concrete.

Recently, in the movie theater, the special chair is installed to maximize the viewing effect of movies. It is structured to convey a vibrational stimulus to a specially-designated parts of human body by attaching a vibration transducer to a existing theater chair. This paper describes the analysis of the vibration transfer characteristic of a foaming sponge seat for the design of the special chair. We could not apply the structural analysis S/W because it is difficult to obtain the mechanical properties and damping coefficients of the various type sponges. And then we computed the transfer functions by the global curve fitting program based on experimental modal analysis. The experimental response results comparatively coincide with those by the global curve fitting program. We also could obtain the natural frequencies, the modal damping coefficient ratio, the modal vectors and the whole transfer functions. Therefore we could analyze the dynamic characteristic for design of foaming sponge seat.
