Rubber hoses for automobile radiators are apt to degraded and thus failed due to the influence of contacting stresses of air and coolant liquid under thermal and mechanical loadings. The aging behaviors of the skin part of the hoses due to thermo-oxidative and electro-chemical stresses were experimentally analyzed. Through the thermo-oxidative aging test, it was shown that the surface hardness IRHD(International Rubber Hardness Degrees) of the rubber increased with a considerable reduction of failure strain as the aging time and temperature were large. On account of the penetration of coolant liquid into the skin part the weight of rubber specimens influenced by electro-chemical degradation (ECD) test increased, whereas their failure strain and IRHD hardness decreased. The hardness decreased further as the test site on the hose skin approached to the negative pole.

The optimum cultural conditions for production of red pigment from Monascus rubber KCTC 6122 is liquid culture were studied. Monascus robber KCTC 6122 was shown to give the maximum production of red pigment in the medium containing 4％ rice powder, 0.2％ NaNO$_3$, 0.3％ Na$_2$HP0$_4$ and 0.15％ MgSO$_4$. The optimum culture conditions, temperature, initial pH and shaking speed were 30$^{\circ}C$, 6.5 and 150 rpm, respectively. The red pigment production reached a maximum level at 8days of cultivation.

In order to investigate the fracture behavior of ABS terpolymer under the tension and impact load, varing the content of rubber, molecular weight of SAN, content and kinds of lubricant, tension speed, the mechanical properties were measured and SEM pictures of fracture area were taken. Under the tension, the tensile strength increased as rubber content and lubricant content decreased, while molecular weight and tension speed increased. The deformation of area near fracture site did not occur as rubber content, tension speed and molecular weight decreased and liquid lubricant was used. And in the shape of fracture seemed phase seperation. Under the impact load, the notched izod impact strength increased as rubber content, molecular weight, ambient temperature and lubricant content increased. In the SEM picture, the strength was high white the fracture surface was small.

Generally polymer mortar and concrete using unsaturated polyester resin has high strengths and good chemical resistance. However it also has high brittleness and because of this reason, it is not used for the purpose that demands high resistance to impact. The purpose of this study is to improve the brittleness of unsaturated polyester mortar(UPE mortar) which could be used for the flooring material with recycled aggregates and UPE. Polyurethane liquid rubber(PU) and recycled aggregates were used to complement the brittleness and to recycle the resources respectively. The characteristics of mortar were investigated according to the molecular weight and substitution rate of PU. As the molecular weight and PU substitution rate were increased, the viscosity was increased, working life became fast and curing shrinkage was reduced. Compressive and flexural strengths were also reduced but tile brittleness was improved. Therefore, it is seemed that the improved WE mortar could be obtained by using polyurethane liquid rubber with the polyol of molecular weight 2000, 3000.

Rubber-modified polyurethane resin which was prepolymer type terminated with NCO, was synthesized by reacting isocyanate groups[NCO] and hydroxyl groups[OH]. Polybutadiene rubbers which had OH groups in the side of rubber chains, were charged at ratio $0%{\sim}40%$ of solid component in reactants. For products, physical properties were investigated experimentally. The results abtained in experiment were as follows. 1. Liquid resin and dried film was good solubility and clearity at less than 25%, 20% of rubber without being related to sort. 2. G-1000 showed better properties than R-45HT in solubility, dring time and adhesive strength. 3. Dring time and adhesive strength were considerably influenced by molecular weigh and structure of rubber. 4. In using 25% of mixed rubber(G-1000/R-45HT=50/50), It represented best properties in dring time(10 minute) and adhesive strength($23Kg/cm^2$).

The liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system (the 3rd generation technology) has been considered as one of the most promising fuel supply systems for LPG vehicles. To investigate the reaction characteristics of LPG with rubber parts in LPLi system, various rubbers were tested. The results showed that the amount of residue from the cover rubber of a fuel pump was increased about 10 times after testing. Furthermore, the amount of sulfur and nitrogen species which are considered as main sources of deposit formation in LPLi fuel injectors were also found to be higher than those in original LPG fuel. In addition, these residues made the core parts of LPLi injector such as needle and nozzle, partially worn, which eventually causes leakage in LPLi injectors.

Following our previous work, we have conducted further systematic studies to investigate the effects of reactive blending on the thermal and mechanical properties of blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and a liquid rubber, polybutadiene (LPB). The toughened PLAs were prepared by melt-blending the PLA with various contents (0-9 wt.%) of the LPB in the absence or presence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP), a radical initiator. It was found that the rubber domains were homogeneously dispersed at the nanoscale in the PLA matrix up to 9 wt.% of LPB thanks to the reactive blending in the presence of DCP. Owing to the compatibilization of PLA with LPB through reactive blending, the elongation and toughness of PLA was enhanced, while the hydrolytic degradation of PLA was reduced.

This study investigated the effects of the alkaline detergent and acid rinse used for cleaning milking machines on the rubber composition of the newly-developed teat cup liners. The samples prepared for use in the clean-in-place process were analyzed by ultraviolet spectrophotometer, ion chromatography and liquid chromatography. In the absorption spectrum of the first sample solution, the form of absorbance or absorption peak was largely different, compared to the absorption spectrum of alkaline detergent alone, but in the absorption spectra of the second and third sample solutions, the absorbance decreased, which was similar to the absorption spectrum in the pure acid detergent. In the ion chromatogram, two main peaks only, which might be shown by the pure alkaline detergent alone, were measured. In the liquid chromatograms, however, new peaks were observed in addition to the two main peaks caused by the pure alkaline detergent alone, which suggested that various molecular materials were created or eluted from the liner by the reaction with the alkaline detergent, but when washed with the acid detergent, any ion species were not produced. Therefore, we propose that an acid rinse should be applied, after cleaning the milking machine with the alkaline detergent.

In multi-material injection molding, since two or more materials with different process conditions are used, it is essential to maximize process efficiency by operating the cooling or heating system to a minimum. In this study, Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) that can be cured at a low temperature suitable for the multi-material injection molding was selected and the cure behavior according to the process conditions was analyzed through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Dynamic measurement results of DSC with different heating rate were obtained, and through this, the total heat of reaction when the LSR was completely cured was calculated. Isothermal measurement results of DSC were derived for 60 minutes at each temperature from 80 ℃ to 110 ℃ at 10 ℃ intervals, and the final degree of cure at each temperature was calculated based on the total heat of reaction identified from the Dynamic DSC measurement results. As the result, it was found that when the temperature is lowered, the curing start time and the time required for the curing reaction increase, but at a temperature of 90 ℃ or higher, LSR can secure a degree of cure of 80% or more. However, at 80 ℃., it was found that not only had a relatively low degree of curing of about 60%, but also significantly increased the curing start time. In addition, in the case of 110 ℃, the parameters were derived from experimental result using the Kamal kinetic model.
