Proposals were mode on how to differentiate radiation effects in morphological phases of polyethylene and discussions were developed with the results obtained on a low density polyethylene, SOCAREX, specified by number average molecular weight; overbar Mn=5,400, density; 0.92, and degree of branch; 3.4/100 carbon atom, which was irradiated to Co$^{60}$ .gamma. ray at the dose rate of 0.5 Mrad/hr in ambient temperature under the pressure of 10$^{-5}$ Torr. or 1 atm. respectively. The effect to crystalline phase in possibly deduced from dose dependent variation of relative area between (110) and (200) peaks on X ray diffraction spectrum and that, the effects to amorphous phase can be understood through dose dependent relaxation behaviours of .betha. peak on internal friction characteristics of the specimen. The results obtained thus far indicate that, in crystalline phase, relative crystallinity shows a rather rapid decrease up to 20 Mrad with increasing dose, however, little change of crystallinity can be observed in the region between 20-200 Mrad, and degradation appears to be more predominant than crosslinking up to 60 Mrad. While in amorphous phase the indication also shows that degradation is only predominant up to 20 Mrad. Furthermore several correlations can be seen with amenable explanation between dose dependent behaviours observed in both phases.

In this study, the effects of filler particle size and shape on the physical properties of silicone rubber composites were investigated using inorganic fillers (Minusil 5, Celite 219, and Nyad 400) except silica, which was already present as a reinforcing filler of silicone rubber. Fillers with small particle sizes are known to facilitate the formation of the bound rubber by increasing the contact area with the polymer. However, in this experiment, the bound rubber content of Celite 219-added silicone composite was higher than that of Minusil 5-added silicone composite. This was attributed to the porous structure of Celite 219, which led to an increase in the internal surface area of the filler. When the inorganic fillers were added, both thermal decomposition temperature and thermal stability were improved. The bound rubber formed between the silicone rubber and inorganic filler affected the degree of crosslinking of the silicone composite. It is well-known that as the size of the reinforcing filler decreases, the reinforcing effect increases. However, in this experiment, the hardness of the composite material filled with Celite 219 was the highest compared to the other three composites. Furthermore, the highest value of 2.19 MPa was observed for 100% modulus, and the fracture elongation was the lowest at 469%. This was a result of excellent interaction between Celite 219 filler and silicone rubber.

Medical silicone tubes are generally used as implants for the treatment of nasolacrimal duct stenosis. However, side effects such as allergic reactions and bacterial infections have been reported following the silicone tube insertion, which cause surgical failure. These drawbacks can be overcome by modifying the silicone tube surface using a functional coating. Here, we report a biocompatible and superhydrophilic surface coating based on a polysaccharide multilayer nanofilm, which can load and release antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents. The nanofilm is composed of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and chitosan (CHI), and fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. The LbL-assembled CMC/CHI multilayer films exhibited superhydrophilic properties, owing to the rough and porous structure obtained by a crosslinking process. The surface coated with the superhydrophilic CMC/CHI multilayer film initially exhibited antibacterial activity by preventing the adhesion of bacteria, followed by further enhanced antibacterial effects upon releasing the loaded antibacterial agent. In addition, inflammatory cytokine assays demonstrated the ability of the coating to deliver anti-inflammatory agents. The versatile nanocoating endows the surface with anti-adhesion and drug-delivery capabilities, with potential applications in the biomedical field. Therefore, we attempted to coat the nanofilm on the surface of an ophthalmic silicone tube to produce a multifunctional tube suitable for patient-specific treatment.

용융상태에서 nylon 12 elastomer에 소량의 dicumyl peroxide (DCP) 와 triallyl cyanuate (TAC)를 첨가하여 nylon 12 elastomer를 부분적으로 가교시켰으며, 이에 따른 nylon 12 elastomer의 기계적, 동적기계적 그리고 유변학적 특성을 tensile test, DMA, small amplitude oscillating rheometer를 이용하여 각각 알아보았다. TAC의 함량이 증가함에 따라 인장탄성률과 영률은 증가하고, 파단신율은 감소하였다. DMA 측정결과, DCP로 부분적으로 가교시킨 nylon 12 elastomer의 PTMG상의 유리전이온도는 순수한 nylon 12 elstomer에 비해 증가하였고, storage modulus는 nylon 12상의 용융온도 이상에서도 거의 일정한 값을 나타내었다. 부분적으로 가교시킴에 따른 유변학적 특성의 변화는 TAC의 함량이 증가함에 따라 solid like behavior와 shear thinning behavior가 점점 뚜렷하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 이로부터 nylon 12 elastomer를 용융상태에서 부분적으로 가교시킴으로써 용융가공성을 저하시키지 않으면서, 기계적 물성은 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 특히, nylon 12 elastomer의 사용가능 온도범위를 증가시킬 수 있었다.

목질 판상재료 생산을 위하여 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 석유화학계 접착제를 대체하여 재생가능한 원료로부터 대체 접착제를 개발하기 위한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 바이오 디젤 부산물인 유채박을 산 및 알칼리 가수분해를 통해 접착제를 제조하고, 이 접착제를 중밀도섬유판(MDF) 제조에 적용한 후 물성과 강도 특성을 조사하여 유채박의 중밀도 섬유판 제조용 접착제에 대한 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 먼저 유채박 접착제 조제를 위하여 유채박을 산과 알칼리 가수분해를 통해 개량한 다음, phenol formaldehyde (PF) prepolymer 와 혼합하여 접착제를 제조하고 이를 중밀도 섬유판 제조용 접착제로 사용하였다. 제조된 중밀도 섬유판의 평균 함수율과 밀도는 모두 KS의 기준을 만족시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 흡수 두께 팽창률은 다소 높게 나타났다. 중밀도 섬유판의 휨강도는 요소수지 접착제로 제조한 중밀도 섬유판보다 낮은 것으로 나타났지만 박리강도는 일부 조건에서 요소수지 접착제로 제조한 중밀도 섬유판보다 높게 나타나 석유화학계 접착제의 대체 접착제로의 가능성을 보여주었다. 접착성능의 향상을 위해서는 최적화되는 중밀도 섬유판의 제조공정의 변수에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
