Experimental results of the metal powder production with internal mixing, internal impinging and the atomizer coupled with substrate design are presented in this paper. In a test with internal mixing atomizer, mean powder size was decreased from $37{\mu}m\;to\;23{\mu}m$ for Pb65Sn35 alloy as the gas-to-melt mass ratio was increased from 0.04 to 0.17. The particle size further reduces to $16.01{\mu}m$ as the orifice area is increased to $24mm^2$. The micrograph of the metal powder indicates that very fine and spherical metal powder has been produced by this process. In a test program using the internal impinging atomizers, the mean particle size of the metal powder was decreased from $22{\mu}m\;to\;12{\mu}m$ as the gas-to-melt-mass ratio increased from 0.05 to 0.22. The test results of an atomizer coupled with a substrate indicates that the deposition rate of the molten spray on the substrate is controlled by the diameter of the substrate, the height of the substrate ring and the distance of the substrate from the outlet of the atomizer. This in rum determines the powder production rate of the spraying processes. Experimental results indicate that the deposition rate of the spray forming material decreases as the distance between the substrate and the atomizer increases. For example, the deposition rate decreases from 48% to 19% as the substrate is placed at a distance from 20cm to 40cm. On the other hand, the metal powder production rate and its particle size increases as the subsrate is placed far away from the atomizer. The production of metal powder with mean particle size as low as $3.13{\mu}m$ has been achieved, a level which is not achievable by the conventional gas atomization processes.

본 연구에서는 재활용 폴리프로필렌을 첨가한 wood plastic composite(WPC)의 물성을 극대화하기 위해 먼저 용융혼합 조건을 최적화하였으며 재활용 폴리프로필렌의 함량이 WPC의 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. WPC의 기계적 특성을 측정하기 위해 만능재료시험기와 충격시험기를 사용하였고 열적 특성을 조사하기 위해 DSC, TGA, DMA를 사용하였다. SEM을 이용하여 WPC의 파단면을 관찰하였다. 전체 폴리프로필렌 함량의 50 wt%를 재활용 폴리프로필렌으로 함유한 WPC의 최적가공 조건은 $170^{\circ}C$, 15분, 60 rpm이었다. 재활용 폴리프로필렌의 함량증가는 WPC의 수분흡수성을 증가시켰고 열적, 기계적 특성을 저하시켰다. 그러나 모든 물성을 종합하여 분석한 결과 WPC의 두드러진 물성 감소 없이 전체 폴리프로필렌 함량의 50 wt%까지 재활용 폴리프로필렌을 첨가하는 것이 가능하였다.

Polypropylene (PP)과 중간층이 유기성분으로 치환된 montmorillonite (org-MMT)의 복합체를 회분식 혼련기에서 용융혼련하여 org-MMT의 구조, 연속상의 점도, 그리고 혼련시간이 복합체의 상구조 형성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 혼련조건과 연속상의 점도가 일정할 때 PP사슬이 여러 가지 org-MMT의 중간층으로 삽입되는 정도는 org-MMT자체의 구조 인자에 의하여 결정되었다. 즉, 특정한 상호인력이 존재하지 않는 경우에는 삽입과정에 발생하는 고분자 사슬의 엔트로피 감소를 보충할 수 있는 환경의 조성이 필수적이며 이러한 조건은 최적의 중간층높이와 packing density가 유지될 때 만족되었다. 열역학적으로 삽입이 가능한 org-MMT의 분산 상태는 연속상의 점도가 증가할수록 호전되었으나 그렇지 못한 경우는 연속상의 점도상승이 분산상태의 향상을 유도하지 못하였다. 본 연구에서 고려된 PP/org-MMT 복합체들은 흔련 시간이 증가됨에 따라 뭉침 현상에 의하여 상구조가 변하는 불안정성을 나타내었다.

In the present work, capability of thymolphthalein-grafted graphene oxide, which was successfully synthesized in this study, in stabilization of polypropylene against thermal oxidation were investigated and compared with that of SONGNOX 1010, a commercially used phenolic antioxidant for the polymer. The modified graphene oxide were incorporated into polypropylene via melt mixing. State of distribution of the nanoplatelets in the polymer matrix was examined using scanning electron microscopy and was shown to be homogeneous. Measurements of oxidation onset temperature and oxidative induction time revealed that thymolphthalein-grafted graphene oxide modifies thermo-oxidative stability of the polymer in the melt state remarkably. However, the efficiency of the nanoplatelets in stabilization of polypropylene against thermal oxidation in melt state was shown to be inferior to that of SONGNOX 1010. Furthermore, oven ageing experiments followed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the modified graphene oxide improves thermo-oxidative stability of the polymer strongly in the solid state, so that its stabilization efficiency is comparable to that of SONGNOX 1010.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) pre-treated by concentrated mixed acid or oxidized at high temperature were melt mixed with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) using a twin screw extruder. The morphologies and electrical properties of the MWNT/PMMA composites were investigated. The thermally treated MWNTs (t-MWNTs) were well dispersed, whereas the acid treated MWNTs (a-MWNTs) were highly entangled, forming large-sized clusters. The resulting electrical properties of the composites were analyzed in terms of the carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersion. The experimental percolation threshold was estimated to be $3 wt\%$ of t-MWNTs, but no percolation occurred at similar concentrations in the a-MWNT composites, due to the poor dispersion in the matrix.

PET nanocomposites filled with fumed silicas were prepared via direct melt compounding method at various mixing conditions such as filler type and filler content. Some fumed silicas were pre-treated to improve the wettability and dispersibility, and principal characterizations were performed to investigate the effects of nano fumed silicas on polymer matrix. Hydrophobic fumed silica (M-FS), which has the similar contact angles of water with neat PET, acted as the best reinforcement for the thermal stability and mechanical properties of PET nanocomposite, and FE-SEM images also showed that M-FS was uniformly dispersed into matrix and had good wettability. But, some filler (O-FS) had low dispersibility and caused the deterioration of mechanical properties. Besides, the results of DSC revealed the nucleation effect of all fillers in polymer matrix, and PET nanocomposite filled with hydroptilic fumed silica (FS) showed markedly the characteristic dynamic rheological properties such as shear thinning behavior at very low frequencies and the decrease of viscosity.

The polypropylene/polyamide elastomer (PP/PAE) blends were prepared by melt mixing. PP and PAE in PP/ PAE were immiscible completely. The size of PAE domains was large and the clear gap in the interface between PP and PAE existed, which did not meet the conditions enhancing toughness of polymers by elastomer. Therefore, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MP) was used to improve the miscibility between PP and PAE. The miscibility between PP and PAE was improved and the size of dispersed phase PAE decreased by introducing MP. The crystallization of PP became easier by introducing PAE as a nucleating agent. With the increase of PAE content, the melt-crystallization temperatures of PP components in PP/PAE/MP blends increased gradually. The melt-crystallization of the polytetramethylene oxide segment of PAE component in PP/PAE blends were hampered by PP component. In addition, PAE can enhance significantly the toughness of PP, and the tensile strength and modulus did not decrease.

In order to obtain crosslinked poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) foams with a closed-cell structure, a commercial-grade PBS was first modified in the melt using two different branching agents to increase the melt viscosity. The rheological properties of the branched and crosslinked PBS were examined by varying the amount of the branching agents. The complex viscosity of the crosslinked PBS increased with increasing amount of the branching agent. However, it decreased with increasing frequency. When 2 phr of the branching agent was added to PBS, the storage modulus (G') was higher than the loss modulus (G") throughout the entire frequency range, showing that the addition of a branching agent increases the melt viscosity and elasticity of PBS effectively. Closed-cell PBS foams were prepared by mixing the chemical blowing agent with the crosslinked PBS. The effect of the foaming conditions such as temperature and time, and the amount of the crosslinking agent on the structure of the expanded PBS foams were also investigated.

폴리카보네이트/폴리(부틸렌 테레프탈레이트)(PC/PBT) 블렌드에 대해 용융혼합 과정에서 에스테르 교환반응 거동을 조사하였고, PC/PBT 혼합비에 따른 유변학적 특성, 파괴거동 및 파단면 모폴로지를 조사하였다. FT-IR 및 $^1H-NMR$ 분석을 통해 용융혼합 중에 PC와 PBT간 에스테르화 반응이 일어남을 확인하였다. PC 함량이 증가할수록 용융지수(MI)는 감소하여 PC의 높은 흐름저항성을 확인하였다. 또한 PC 함량이 증가할수록 저장 및 손실 탄성률은 증가하였고, Cole-Cole 도시로부터 PC/PBT 블렌드의 경우 혼합비에 관계없이 유변학적 상용성은 나타내지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 인장강도는 PC 함량이 증가함에 따라 선형적인 증가를 나타내었다. 충격강도의 경우 PC 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였는데, 약 $30{\sim}40wt%$ 범위에서 가장 급격한 증가폭을 나타내었고, 50 wt% 이상의 범위에서는 거의 일정한 값을 나타내었다. 충격 파단면을 관찰한 결과 약 40 wt% 이상의 범위에서부터 충격방향으로 거친 파괴 릿지(ridge)가 형성되어서 높은 충격강도를 나타낸 것으로 판단된다.
