본 연구의 목적은 낮은 포화 압력하에서의 초음파에 의한 미세포 포움 구조 획득의 가능성을 평가하기 위한 것으로, 이 초음파 가공을 고분자 포움의 연속적인 압출 가공에 적용하기 위한 기초 연구를 이론적 및 실험적으로 수행함에 있다.따라서 미세포구조의 획득이 본 연구의 목적은 아니며 초음파를 이용한 열가소성 수지내의 핵생성 거동에 대한 고찰을 하고자 한다.

It has been reported in the technical literature that orotic acid can be used in order to induce improved crystallization of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers like poly(L-lactic acid), polyhydroxybutyrate and poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexaonat). The expected advantage of the changed crystalline structure is a reinforcing effect of the polymers. A lot of papers reported about the application of inorganic and organic agents for acceleration of heterogeneous nucleation. This study reports on an attempt to use orotic acid as appropriate non-toxic nucleating agent for improving mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene. Special attention is given to demonstrate the effect of nucleation in a typical melt spinning process in order to improve the mechanical properties. The effects were demonstrated using rheology, thermal analysis and tensile testing.

The current work investigates the effects of nucleation heat treatments, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a novel silicate glass in $Li_2O-BaO-SiO_2$ system with 1 mol% $P_2O_5$ as nucleating agent. As-cast glass was exposed to nucleation heat treatments at $490-550^{\circ}C$ for 1-3 h. The microstructural examination was performed by SEM/EDS. The highest Vickers microhardness was determined to be 650 Hv for the sample heat treated at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The increase in the nucleation time also affected Vickers microhardness and the highest one was determined to be 600 Hv after nucleation for 3 h. The fracture toughness, $K_{IC}$ reached $2.51MPa.m^{1/2}$ after nucleation at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The nucleation temperatures had a more pronounced effect on the fracture toughnesses in comparison to nucleation times. The indentation toughness data was used to determine Weibull parameters from Ln ln [1/(1-P)]-$lnK_{IC}$ plots. Weibull modulus, m of the samples nucleated at 500, 510, 530, $550^{\circ}C$ for 1h. and $540^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. were determined similarly to be 3.8, 3.5, 4.7 and 3.9, respectively. The rest of the samples indicated higher Weibull moduli, which may be attributed to the formations of microcracks due to the mismatch in between newly formed crystals and remaining glassy matrix.

아이소탁틱 폴리프로필렌과 대두유 시스템으로부터 열유도 상분리 및 연신공정에 의하여 중공사막을 제조하였다. 막의 구조와 성능에 관계되는 각종 조업변수들의 영향을 조사하였고 이들을 최적화하였다. 폴리프로필렌/대두유의 용융점도가 microfibril 형성에 영향을 미침을 확인하였고 기핵제를 첨가함에 따라 핵생성 밀도가 증가하여 연신에 의한 구정 간의 기공형성이 향상되었다. 막을 열처리함으로써 연신 시 유도되었던 stress를 이완시켜 막의 수축현상을 방지하여 다공도를 유지할 수 있었다. 기핵제를 첨가한 경우 고-액 상분리에 의하여 구조가 형성되며 응고조의 온도 변화에 따라 핵 생성 밀도가 변화하게 되고 이에 따라 연신에 의한 기공 형성이 영향을 받게 되었다. 기핵제를 첨가하지 않은 경우 핵 생성이 활발하지 않아서 주로 액-액 상분리 거동이 구조 형성에 영향을 미치게 되며 응고조 온도 변화에 따른 효과가 기핵제를 넣은 경우와는 반대의 경향을 나타내었다.

To reduce the weight of the engineering plastic Nylon 6 resin, two high-temperature foaming agents, p-toluenesulfonyl semicarbazide (PTSS) and 5-phenyltetrazole (5-PT) (0-10 phr), were added and foamed without other additives. We investigated the effects of the foaming agent type and content on the foam density (g/cm³) and percent weight reduction rate of the Nylon 6 foam, and 5-PT exhibited better foaming performance than PTSS. In the case of 5-PT, the weight reduction rate was above 36% when the blowing agent content was 1.5 phr or higher, indicating that 5-PT is an effective blowing agent for reducing the Nylon 6 foam weight. Additionally, we studied the effect of the nucleating agent Talc content (0-0.4 phr) on Nylon 6 foaming, and the nucleating agent Talc considerably reduced foaming.

Sinter-active yttria powders were prepared by a solution precipitation with using a self-decomposing precipitation agent NH2CONH2(urea). The cold-pressed powders can be sintered to full density and the microstructure of grains less than 200 nm at a temperature as low as 120$0^{\circ}C$. The activity of the yttria powder has been controlled by varying nucleation conditions during precipitation and by minimizing formation of aggregates. The type of precursor is decisive in preparation of a sinter-active oxide powder, and urea is desirable as a precipitation agent for an active yttrium oxide powder.

Microporous polypropylene hollow fiber membrane was fabricated from isotactic polypropylene-soybean oil system by melt spinning process. Addition of nucleating agent accelerated the crystallization rate and elevated the crystallization temperature. Nucleating agent increased the number of nuclei and spherulites, which offered more inter-spherulitic amorphous sites for stretching. Benzoic acid, adipic acid, and dibenzylidene sorbitol were selected as nucleating agents, and their characteristics and effects were investigated by thermal and optical analyses. Spherulite growth and micropore formation characteristics were correlated with the kind of nucleating agent. Benzoic acid and adipic acid showed the remarkable nucleating effect, while dibenzylidene sorbitol was less effective than those. Nucleating agents also helped the sample have uniform microporous structure. Increase of nucleating agent composition enhanced the nucleation effect to some extent. Nucleating agents played very important roles in enhancing the membrane porosity and water flux.

The joining behavior of YSZ ceramics to the glasses used in the $9Al_2O_3-24ZrO_2-51SiO_2-16R_2O$ and $9Al_2O_3-24ZrO_2-51SiO_2-7La_2O_3-9R_2O$ (wt%) glass systems was investigated. The glass transition and softening temperatures were determined to be $430^{\circ}C$ and $760^{\circ}C$, respectively. The behavior of the contact angle was inversely proportional to an increase in the temperature. The Zr element in YSZ acted as a nucleation agent and contributed to the bonding behavior at the interface.

Stable, spherical, polystyrene particles were synthesized in ab initio dispersion polymerization by using the poly(methacrylic acid)[PMAA] macro-RAFT agent. The presence of the PMAA macro-RAFT agent on the polystyrene (PS) particles was confirmed by NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. The PS particle size was influenced by the concentration of the RAFT agent and monomer due to the initial nucleation. When the concentration of the PMAA macro-RAFT agent was increased from 2 to 10 wt% relative to the monomer, the average particle size decreased from 2.31 to 1.36 ${\mu}m$, the conversion decreased from 93.3 to 88.9%, the weight-average molecular weight increased from 46,300 to 150,200 g $mol^{-1}$ and the PDI decreased from 2.79 to 1.94, respectively. In particular, the incorporation of 10 wt% of PMAA macro-RAFT agent produced monodisperse PS spheres of 1.36 ${\mu}m$ with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 6.44%. Thus, the PMAA macro-RAFT agent worked as a reactive steric stabilizer providing monodisperse, micron-sized, PS particles.
