압출가공으로 제조된 Polycarbonate(PC)/Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS) 블 렌드의 사출조건에 따른 모폴로지와 기계적 성질의 변화와 그 상관관계를 고찰하였다. 사출 온도와 금형온도가 높아질수록 분산상간의 coalescence 현상이 활발히 진행되었으며 이러한 모폴로지 변화로 인하여블렌드의 인장강도 굴곡강도 그리고 충격강도 등의 기계적 성질이 급격히 저하되었다. 사출온도와 금형온도의 증가에 따른 coalescence의 심화는 높은 온도에 서 연속상과 분산상의 점도가 저하되어 분산상 사이에 존재하는 연속상 성분의 배출이 보다 용이하게 이루어져 나타난 현상으로 설명된다. 실용적으로 특정한 상용화제가 투입되지 않 는 PC/ABS 블렌드를 사출공정을 거쳐 제품을 생산할 경우에는 급격한 모폴로지와 물성변 화가 일어나지 않는 범위에서 사출온도를 유지하는 것이 제품의 품질관리 측면에서 매우 중 요하다.

PC(polycarbonate), SAN(styren-acrylonitrile)공중합체, 그리고 충격 보강제를 근간 으로 하는 다성분계 고분자 블렌드에 대하여 고정된 사출조건에서 블렌드의 조성에 따른 weldline강도의 변화를 조사하였다. 블렌드의 전체적인 함량에 있어서 PC가 그함량이 높아 연속상이 되는 경우가 비교적 높은 weldline강도를 나타내지만 PC함량이 감소함에 따라서 급격한 저하가 발생하여 채-continuity의 성향이 강한 50%부근에서 최소 값을 보였다. PC 함량이 고정되었을 때에는 분산상의 점도가 증가할수록 weldline 강도가 향상되었는데 이는 weldline의 형성 시에 발생하는 분수형 흐름장에 의한 분산상의 배향이 억제되어 외부 응력 에 대하여 균일하게 대응할수 있는 형태학을 유지하는 효과로 설명된다. 충격보강제의 변경 과 상용화제의 적용으로부터 얻은 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 다성분계 고분자 블렌드의 weldline강도는 구성성분간의 상용성 뿐만 아니라 유변학적인 조건이 만족되어야 효과적으 로 향상될수 있다.

Hard coating solutions were prepared from glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) precursors with different molar ratios of 10:0, 9:1, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, and 0:10, respectively, by the sol-gel method. The polycarbonate (PC) sheets were spin-coated, and cured at $130^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The effect of the GPTMS:MPTMS molar ratios of the mixture was investigated on the properties of coating films. The highest pencil hardness and adhesion to PC sheets of coating films were found for solution with GPTMS:MPTMS molar ratio of 5:5. Also, the pencil hardness of coating films was increased with increasing the $H_2O$ content in the coating solutions.

High intensity ultrasound was irradiated to induce mechano-chemical degradation during melt processing of polycarbonate (PC) and styrene-co-acrylonitrile (SAN) in an intensive mixer. It was found that macroradicals of PC and SAM can be generated during ultrasound assisted melt processing; which, in turn, provides a useful route to achieve in-situ compatibilization for the blends of PC and SAM by their mutual coupling. Effectiveness of compatibilization was assessed by investigating phase morphology and mechanical properties of the blends. It was observed that domain size was reduced and the stability of morphology was well maintained even after annealing treatment of the blends. In audition, the enhancement of mechanical properties such as elongation at break and tensile strength was evident, which added further confirmation on the desirable feature that sonication of melt-blends is able to enhance intermolecular interaction by promoting chemical bonds between dissimilar polymers without use of any compatibilizers.

Over the past decade, there have been significant advancement in the field of electrospinning area. This study has focused on preparing yarn using polycarbonate (PC) nanofibers including modified multi-walled carbon nanotube (mMWNT) by solution electrospinning process using the mixture of solvents consisting of tretrahydronfuran (THF) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In order to enhance the dispersion, MWNT was chemically modified. TEM analysis for the prepared PC/mMWNT nanofibers reveals that mMWNT was well-dispersed into the PC nanofiber matrix. Also with increasing contents of mMWNT, thermal stability of PC/mMWNT nanofibers was improved than that of PC nanofibers. Moreover when 3 to 5 wt% of mMWNT was added, the nanofibers showed good electrical properties expecting antistatic effect, ranging 109.1~109.5 ${\Omega}$. It was confirmed that the multi-filament fibers using PC/mMWNT had $60{\sim}100{\mu}m$ in diameter and 4~5 cm in length.

Environmental impact of a mobile phone charger containing recycled plastic was quantified using LCA and the environmental benefits from the use of recycled and virgin plastic were compared. The assessment considers potential environmental impacts across the whole life cycle of the charger including; pre-manufacturing; manufacturing; distribution; product use; and end-of-life stages and quantified six environmental impact categories; Abiotic depletion; Acidification; Eutrophication; Global warming; Ozone layer depletion; and Photochemical oxidants creation. The study showed that the environmental impacts of the use stage accounted for 94.4% and 70% in the resource depletion and global warming impact categories, respectively, and the environmental impacts of the pre - manufacturing stage accounted for more than 98% in the other impact categories. The main cause of the environmental impacts in the use stage was electricity consumed by the charger. The main cause in the pre-manufacturing stage was PBA (Printed Board Assembly) and external case manufacturing. In order to quantify the environmental benefits of recycled PC (Polycarbonate) in the exterior case, the environmental impacts of 1 kg production of recycled PC and virgin PC were evaluated. The environmental impact on the abiotic depletion of the recycled PC is estimated to be 30% compared to the virgin PC, and the impacts on the other impact categories of the recycled PC were less than 5% of the virgin plastic. Sensitivity analysis was performed for 12 items including site data and assumptions made. The sensitivity of each item was less than 10%. The results of this study confirm that designing compact and light PBA, improving charging efficiency, and use of recycled plastic are important design factors to reduce the environmental impact of a charger.

The increase of system weight due to installation of cooling devices adds electrical and mechanical loads of humanoid robot, and in return, results in much heat. Therefore, the weight of cooling system is a critical issue for robot cooling. In this study, we propose non-metallic cold plates to deal with such problems. We compare thermal performances between one metallic cold plate and five different types of non-metallic cold plates. A metallic cold plate is totally made of copper. Five non-metallic PC(polycarbonate) cold plates, which are designed to reduce the overall weight of robot cooling system, are composed of a polycarbonate cover with different types of base plate. The overall heat transfer coefficients per unit mass and thermal resistances are obtained for the cold plates. The metallic cold plate shows the best thermal performance. It is interesting to note that the PC cold plate with an aluminum base plate with 18 channels shows the best overall heat transfer coefficient per unit mass. Most polycarbonate cold plates display fairly comparable thermal performance with more reduced system weight compared to the metallic cold plate.

The causes of residual stress in an injection molded part are high temperature variation and shear stress during molding process. Chemical cracking test is one of the methods of measuring residual stress and cracks are developed according to the degree of residual stress. In this study, the relationship between chemical cracking and exerted stress have been investigated. Deformation jig was designed and used to give a stress through deformation in a specimen. Specimens were molded by a hot press using polycarbonate (PC) and annealed to remove residual stresses in the specimens. Specimens were fixed in the deformation jig and immersed into the solvent to create cracks in the specimens. Solvents were prepared by using tetrahydrofuran and methyl alcohol. As stress accordance with the deformation in the specimen increased, the frequency and density of cracks in the specimen also increased. The results of this study can be used for the measurement of residual stress quantitatively in an injection molded PC product using a chemical cracking method.

In this study, we tried to improve the thrust control performance through the thrust control combustion experiment of the hybrid rocket. We constructed the system which controls the oxidizer flow by combining a needle valve with a stepping motor and controlling the stepping motor drive according to the thrust control command order. Gas oxygen was used as the oxidizer for two different propellants, PE(Polyethylene), PC(Polycarbonate), respectively. To improve the slow response time and the oscillation phenomenon in the beginning stage of the thrust control combustion experiment, we measured and analyzed the change of the flow speed of the propellant pipe. The revised thrust control combustion experiment showed that the thrust was stably controlled with the margin or error from the thrust command within ${\pm}1$ N.

To manufacture the lens mold used in producing polycarbonate (PC) lenses, the core manufacturing is needed and this core manufacturing is generally performed by diamond turning machine (DTM) or computer numerical control (CNC) lathe. The numerical data about the lens core feature is necessarily needed for operating of these devices. Therefore, we developed the program which calculate the numerical data about the lens core feature. The program was composed to be able to input aspherical coefficients of lens feature, display the graph of lens feature, and save the numerical data file.
