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.

보호콜로이드에 따른 입체 안정제 (steric stabilizer)작용이 폴리초산비닐 (poly(vinyl acetate), PVAc) 라텍스의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 보호콜로이드로서 중합도 1080, 검화도 78.4%인 반응성 poly(vinyl alcohol) mono thiol (PVALT)를 사용한 것이 중합도 1100, 검화도 81.6%인 poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)를 사용하는 것보다 PVAc 라텍스의 안정성이 양호하였으며, 반응성 PVALT의 첨가량이 증가할수록 PVAc 라텍스의 안정성은 향상되었다. PVAc 라텍스 입자의 표면 형태 변화는 투과전자 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 입자크기는 반응성 PVALT의 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 결과적으로 에멀젼의 중합 시 PVA보다 반응성 PVALT를 사용하는 것이 PVAc 라텍스의 안정성이 양호함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 반응성 PVALT로 인해 PVAc 라텍스 입자계면에 PVA와의 화학 결합을 유도할 수 있는 다량의 티올 (thiol)기가 도입되어 PVAc와 반응성 PVALT간의 화학반응으로 인한 PVALT-b-PVAc 블록 공중합체가 생성됨에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. 아울러 제타전위는 탄산나트륨의 농도가 증가할수록 감소하였다.

카르복실화 스티렌-부타디엔 라텍스의 중합시간은 사용되는 부타디엔 모노머가 공액 이중결합을 가진 화학적 구조로 인하여 라디칼 중합시 홀 전파의 비편재화로 인해 아크릴 에멀젼의 제조시 보다 중합시간이 매우 길다. 또한 라텍스 자체가 고분자와 분산매의 분리 없이 사용되기 때문에 라텍스의 안정성은 대단히 중요하다. 물성의 저하없이 반응시간을 단축하기 위하여 기존에 사용하던 연쇄이동제인 사염화탄소 대신 tert-dodecylmercaptane 과 ${\alpha}$-methylstyrene dimer를 혼합 사용하여 반응시간을 14시간에서 12시간으로 줄일 수 있었다. 반응 성장단계에서 아크릴산의 투입량을 0.3 part로 제한하여 라텍스의 점도 상승을 막고 초기중합단계 직후에 아크릴아미드를 0.1 part 첨가하여 라텍스 입자의 내부영역과 외부영역의 고분자 사슬의 상호간확산을 막아 단단하면서도 접착력을 유지할 수 있는 라텍스의 합성 결과를 얻었다.

Latex polymers are widely used for adhesive, binder, paint etc. Especially the PVAc(Polyvinyl acetate) latex which manufactured by vinyl acetate and vinyl alcohol as protective colloid is a useful environmentally friendly adhesive. To increase useful property of PVAc latex, this study was carried out for checking thermal characteristics and physical condition of PVAc latex by DSC, FT-IR, Pyrolyzer GC-MS. The activation energies of thermal decomposition for 40, 48, 56, 64% solid content of PVAc latex were found as 28.1-36.0kcal/mol by Kissinger's method and 17.2-22.0kcal/mol by DSC method. Actually, reasonable solid content could be consiered as 56% because of activation energy and adhesive characteristics. According to the effect of protective colloid for 4, 10, 15, 20wt%, the activation energy shows same tendency to both method and in case of l5wt% has been found as the highest activation energy. The mechanism of thermal decomposition was mainly estimated by main chain scission, not by side group on FT-IR analysis. Main component of Pyrolzer GC-MS result were consisted of $CH_3COOH$, $CH_3$, $H_2O$ and light gases(CO, $CO_2$, $CH_4$ etc).

The core-shell latex particles were prepared by sequential emulsion polymerization of alkyl methacrylate and styrene(ST) by using an water-soluble initiator(APS) after preparing monomer pre-emulsion in the presence of an anionic surfactant(SDBS). In organic/organic core-shell polymerization, the pre-emulsion method, which minimized required quantity of sulfactant, has been used to increase the conversion rate and the stability of core-shell latex particles as well as to reduce the formation of secondary particle that cause problems of soap-free emulsion during shell polymerization. We used several methods to observe the core-shell structure. The core-shell structure was studied by measuring pH change during hydrolysis by NaOH, glass transition temperature($T_g$) by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), morphology of latex by transmission electron microscope(TEM) and change of particle size and distribution by a particle analyzer.

In emulsifier-free, emulsion polymerization with ionizable comonomer, the ionization of the comonomer is critical in determining the size of the final polymerie particles at sub-micrometer scale. In this study, polystyrene latex beads with carboxylates on the surface were synthesized using acrylic acid as a comonomer. Specifically, ammonium hydroxide was added to the emulsifier-free polymerization system to promote the ionization of acrylic acid by increasing pH. Smaller polystyrene latex particles were produced by increasing the ammonium hydroxide concentration in the reaction system, due to the enhanced stability promoted by the ionization of acrylic acid during the nucleation step. In addition, the surface morphology of the polystyrene latex particles was controlled by the concentration of acrylic acid, the dissociation of which was influenced by the ammonium hydroxide concentration.

This study was conducted to develop a sensitized latex-antigen for serodiagnosis of toxoplasmosis in animals. Tachyzoites of T gondii(RH-strain) harvested from mouse peritoneal cavity were purified through the filtraton of polycarbonate membrane(pore size, $3.0{{\mu}m}$, Costar Co.) and disrupted by ultrasonicator. The tachyzoite suspension was ultracentrifuged for 30 min at $60,000{\times}g(4{^{\circ}C})$ and the supernatant was used as a water-lysate antigen. Polystyrene latex particles of $0.8{{\mu}m}$ in diameter(Sigma) were used for the preparation of sensitized latex-antigen suspension. The several parameters including the preparation conditions, incubation buffer. serum dilution buffer and stability of agglutination reactions were evaluated and the results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. The antigen consisting of a water-lysate of T gondii tachyzoites was adsorbed onto polystyrene latex particles of $0.8{{\mu}m}$ in diameter by adding a latex suspension to an equal volume of diluted antigen solution and by incubating the mixture at $37{^{\circ}C}$ under different conditions. 2. The optimum incubation buffer used for the antigen sensitization was 0.1M Tris-HCl buffer(pH 8.0). 3. The optimum serum dilution buffer used for the latex agglutination test was 0.1M Tris-HCl-NaCl buffer(pH 7.4) containing 300 mM NaCl. But 0.1M Tris-HCl-NaCl buffer(pH 7.4) containing 300-600 mM NaCl, 0.5% BSA and 0.01% Tween-20 improved the agglutination pattems and cleared the background of microplate well without the effects on L.A titer. 4. The time required for antigen sensitization was 40 and 60 min in incubation buffer(pH 8.0) at $37{^{\circ}C}$. But the optimun time for antigen sensitization was min at $37{^{\circ}C}$. 5. The optimun quantity of antigen absorbed on latex particles for proper agglutination was the range of 20 to $32{\mu}g$ of latex particles. 6. The optimun concentration of the latex-antigen suspension for the proper agglutination reaction was determined as 0.2%(w/v). 7. The specificity, rapidity and simplicity of the latex-particle agglutination test suggested that it might be adaptable to large scale serum screening.

This study was carried out to elucidate the partial substitutability of SB latex with environmental-friendly coating binders for coated paper. Starch-based biobinder, ethylene vinyl acetate and acryl-based binder were evaluated for this purpose. Several combinations of above binders were applied to top layer coating, and properties of coating colors and printability were evaluated. When 20% and 30% of SB latex were substituted by acryl-based synthetic binder, ethylene vinyl acetate and biobinder, the brightness, whiteness and opacity of coated paper were similar to those obtained from SB latex. Ink set and stiffness of coated paper manufactured through 20% and 30% substitution of SB latex by biobinder and EVAc were improved, but dry- and wet-pick strength were decreased. The research works on the improvement of dry- and we-pick strength, mechanical stability and rheological properties at high shear condition should be continued for the commercial application of biobinder, EVAc and acryl-based binder.

The LMC method of construction which have application to the road bridge is being considered the least relative importance about the watertight performance, because it focused on the durability of concrete. However, The LMC which is being expanded scope of application to the method of construction has grown importance about the watertight performance on the usability and maintenance side as well as durability. In this study, The latex concrete of two types which are different from mingled-ratio of the latex made a comparison to the compressive strength, watertight performance, dynamic wheel load resistance performance and confirmed what it has resistibility about chemical action through the chemical resistance test. The initial strength and watertight performance showed that were tendency the downward at 14 days. However, The long-term strength after 28 days showed that it has firm performance. In consequence, The initial curing of latex concrete is required to scrupulous care and attention at the site application. As a chemical resistance test result, The specimen that is steeped in sulphuric acid solution of 2% discovered the delamination phenomenon. However, it was confirmed that delamination phenomenon don't have an effect on the compressive strength. Moreover, As a dynamic wheel load resistance test result, The latex concrete was concluded to confirming the durability and running stability, because it had hardly any thickness reduction of latex concrete surface about dynamic wheel load and rarely found crack and delamination.
