Flexible sheets consisting of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and carbon nanotube (CNT) are newly prepared varying the composition (CNT 20-25 wt.%) for use as a current collector of supercapacitor electrodes. The as-prepared CNT/NBR is electrodeposited with aniline using potentiodynamic cyclic voltammetry to yield a polyaniline (PANI)/CNT/NBR composite electrode. It is confirmed that the electrical conductivity of CNT/NBR current collector can be enhanced as the content of CNT increases. Cyclic voltammetry result shows that the sample of PANI/CNT(25 wt.%)/NBR composite achieves a maximum specific capacitance ($134.9\;F\;g^{-1}$) at $5\;mV\;s^{-1}$. Such supercapacitor application is possibly originated from the synergistic effects consisting of higher polarity of nitrile groups in NBR, conducting pathway of CNT, and electroactive property of PANI.

The mechanical and dynamic properties according to the content of filler, plasticizer, and crosslinking agent of rubber composites for Lipseal were measured in this study. The mechanical properties of the composite including the silane coupling agent and silica were found to be superior to those of the composite containing carbon black. It was found that the rebound resilience characteristics were influenced by the crosslink density of sulfur rather than the filler or plasticizer. In the case of recovery, it was confirmed that the elastic restoring force improved in the compression deformation condition and recovery increased as the crosslinking density increased. The rubber composite for Lipseal of this study is expected to improve the manufacturing technology of the rubber composite which can implement the optimum function for recognizing the performance such as oil resistance, durability and compression set.

A face seal comprising a metal ring and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) was installed in the driving part and suspension unit. The seal serves as a bearing and simultaneously prevents entry of foreign matter from external environment as well as internal oil leakage. Subsequently, the rubber-rod ring generates axial pressure owing to rubber elasticity (hardness), performs static sealing function between housing details and outer diameter of seal, and transmits rotational torque to the rotating support ring. In order to improve the durability of NBR, which performs the above tasks, and to effectively use it in tracked-vehicle applications at extreme temperatures, this study reports a mixing design approach to enhance cold and oil resistances of NBR.

나일론 6/poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co--styrene) (ABS) 블렌드의 단점을 해결하기 위해 ABS의 고무상인 폴리부타디엔 대신 폴리(부틸 아크릴레이트)를 고무상으로 포함하고 있는 poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene-co-acrylic rubber) (ASA)를 사용하여 새로운 나일론/ASA 블렌드를 실험하였다. 고충격성을 갖는 블렌드 제조를 위하여 상용화제로 무수 말레산을 25 wt% 포함한 poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA)와 이를 3 wt% 이하 포함한 poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile-co-maleic anhydride) (SANMA)를 사용하여 블렌드를 제조하였다. 나일론/ASA 블렌드에서 상용화제의 함량에 따른 물성 변화는 나일론/ABS 블렌드와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 블렌드 내의 고무 함량이 20 wt% 이상일 때 안정된 물성의 고충격 블렌드가 제조되었다. 블렌드를 사출 성형 온도에서 사출 성형기 내에 체류시킨 후 제조한 시편의 충격 강도를 시험한 결과 SMA를 상용화제로 사용한 경우 충격 강도의 감소가 관찰된 반면 SANMA를 상용화제로 사용한 블렌드에서는 충격 강도의 변화가 거의 없었다.

Seals are usually made from elastomer, a kind of rubber, and it has the non-linearity and hyper-elasticity. U-type seals are used to prevent the leakage of internal fluid sealed in hydraulic actuator because they have more excellent performance than O-rings or rectangular seals. As a core part of hydraulic actuator, U-type seal gives much effect on performance and reliability of actuator. This study considers an NBR U-type seal under high pressure of a hydraulic actuator, and provides its deformation, stress-strain characteristic and contact force using the non-linear finite element analysis. Analysis results are compared with the experimental ones performed by the self-developed testing equipment. Verification result shows that this study presents a good application process for the effective design of U-type seals under high operation pressure.

10, 20, 30, and 40% of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were added to nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to modify the latter. The NBR/PVC composites containing pure NBR were synthesized to investigate properties, such as crosslinking density, hardness, tensile strength, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, solvent resistance, and filler dispersion. The experimental result revealed a decrease in crosslinking density and heat resistance with increase in the PVC content. In contrast, addition of PVC to NBR resulted in enhancement of hardness, tensile strength, solvent resistance, and filler dispersion.

There are many types of foam molding methods. The most commonly used methods are the pressure foaming method, in which foam resin is mixed with a foaming agent at high temperature and high pressure, and the normal pressure foaming method, which foams at high temperature without pressure. The polymer resins used for foaming have different viscosities. For foaming under normal pressure, they need to be designed and analyzed for optimal foaming conditions, to obtain resins with low melt-viscosity or a narrow optimal viscosity range. This study investigated how changes in viscosity, molding temperature, and cross-link foaming conditions affected the characteristics of the molded foam, prepared by blending rubber polymer with biodegradable resin. The morphologies of cross sections and the cell structures of the normal pressure foam were investigated by SEM analysis. Properties were also studied according to cross-link/foaming conditions and torque. Also, the correlation between foaming characteristics was studied by analyzing tensile strength and elongation, which are mechanical properties of foaming composites.

The stress behavior analysis of a-rings and packing for a LPG filling unit has been presented using a finite element analysis technique by non-linear MSC/MARC program. The sealing performance and endurance of a-rings and packing are affected by working conditions such as filling pressure, friction coefficient, compression ratio, and material properties. The elastomeric polymers of O-rings and packing are nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which are selected as proper materials of a-rings and packing based on the stress analysis results. The calculated FEM results showed that the proper material of O-ring is NBR as a secondary sealing component and the recommended material of packing is PTFE as a primary sealing unit during a LPG filling process.

일반 휘발유 및 LPG용 자동차와 각종 유량계기 등에 사용되는 국산 부표는 $150^{\circ}C$ 이상의 엔진오일에 장시간 띄워 놓으면 연료의 침투로 인하여 중량과 부피의 변화로 외관이 팽창하거나 조직이 이완된다. 본 연구에서는 고온에서도 중량 및 부피의 변화(3% 이내)가 적으며 내유성 및 내열성을 갖는 고온 엔진 오일용 발포부표 제조에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 부표의 기본 재료인 NBR을 HNBR로 대체하여 제조한 TROF II-3은 고온($150^{\circ}C$)의 오일에 100 h 동안 띄워 놓은 경우에 2.90%의 중량 변화율과 2.56%의 부피 변화율을 나타내었다. 또한, 무게와 부피 변화는 NBR을 사용한 경우(TROF I-3)보다 $150^{\circ}C$에서 각각 10.81%, 3.08%로 더 작은 변화율을 나타내었다. TROF II-3은 고온의 오일에서 중량과 부피에 대한 변화가 작고 제품의 외관과 비중도 일정하게 유지되므로 고온의 엔진오일용 부표로서 적합한 것으로 판단된다.
