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.

Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP)/poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) ternary blends were prepared by melt blending, and were melt-spun to fibers at various spinning speeds in an effort to improve fiber performance and processability. Structure and property relationship of TLCP/PEN/PET ternary blend fibers and effects of annealing on those were investigated. The mechanical properties of ternary blend fibers could be significantly improved by annealing, which were attributed to the development of more ordered crystallites and the formation of more perfect crystalline structures. TLCP/PEN/PET ternary blend fibers that annealed at 18$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, exhibited the highest values of tensile strength and modulus. The double melting behaviors observed in the annealed ternary blend fibers depended on annealing temperature and time, which might be caused by different lamellae thickness distribution as a result of the melting-reorganization process during the DSC scans.

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.

기존의 ethylene-vinyl acetate 핫멜트 접착제는 시간에 따른 크리프 특성과 내열성 등의 한계로 사용에 제한이 있으므로 물성의 향상을 위해 폴리아미드계 수지를 이용한 새로운 핫멜트 접착제 개발에 관하여 연구하였다. 폴리아미드 단일중합체의 경우 융점과 용융점도가 매우 높기 때문에 대신 나일론6, 나일론66, 나일론12로 이루어진 삼원공중합체 혹은 블렌딩 수지를 사용하므로써 분자쇄의 규칙성 파괴로 인해 용융점도와 용융점을 강하시킬 수 있었다. 이로써 선택된 수지가 핫멜트 접착제의 베이스 수지로 적절함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 베이스 수지에 테르펜 수지, butyl benzyl phthalate, 파라핀왁스 등을 첨가하여 접착제를 구성함에 따라 유변학적 거동도 쉽게 조절될 수 있었다. 용융점도와 접착제 자체의 인장물성 결과에 따르면 사용된 CM831과 843형 폴리아미드 수지를 약 75/25~50/50의 무게비로 블렌딩함이 최적의 접착력을 나타내리라 평가되었다. 또한 steel간의 접착력 평가 결과 steel 표면의 거칠음 정도가 접착력에 직접 영향을 미치는 결과를 얻었다.

This study uses two numerical approaches to analyze the filling behavior of micro patterns on micro-injection molding for V-grooves pattern which cannot be simulated with conventional CAE packages. The parametric studies have been performed to examine the fidelity of micro patterns with respect to temperature, pressure, inlet velocity and pattern location on the mold according to the boundary condition from the macro pressure and velocity data which can be obtained by conventional CAE packages. Through these numerical approaches, the filling behavior of polymer melt in micro patterns can be understood, the quality of replication can be predicted, and the V-groove pattern can be shaped uniformly during the process of injection molding.

고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)에 과산화물 가교제인 dicummyl pe개xide(DCP)와 peroxide(PBP)를 각각 첨가하여 반응 용융 가공 조건이 HDPE의 가교 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 용융 가공 시 가교제 첨가에 따라 가교에 의한 용융점도 증가에 의하여 믹서의 토크가 증가하는 것으로 보아 반응 용융 가공에 의한 가교 HDPE가 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 그 결과, HDPE의 용융점도는 증가하며 밀도 및 용융온도 그리고 용융엔탈피의 감소가 초래됨을 알 수 있었다. 가교 HDPE는 HDPE에 비하여 강도가 우수한 반면 상대적으로 낮은 신율을 보이며 이러한 현상은 가교제로 PBP를 사용했을 경우 더 두드러짐을 확인하였다. 가교 HDPE의 기계적 물성은 반응 가교온도 $150^{circ}C$에서 가장 높음을 알 수 있는 반면 반응 가공시간에는 큰 영향을 받지 않음을 확인하였다.

Due to the potential application to ultra-high strength fibers and excellent properties such as high mechanical properties, excellent thermal endurance and chemical stability, thermotropic liquid crystal polymers (TLCPS) are attractive in recent years [1, 2]. Furthermore, the melt blends of TLCPS and conventional thermoplastics have been extensively investigated because of their easy processing and high performance [3-6]. Since high performance polymers generally has high melt viscosity, introduction of the relatively low viscosity components may be one of the more effective techniques to improve processability through the decrement of melt viscosity in melt processing.

상호에스테르 교환반응에 의한 폴리(에틸렌 나프탈레이트)/폴리(부틸렌 테레프탈레이트) (PEN/PBT) 블렌드의 물성 변화에 대하여 살펴보았다. PBT를 PEN에 블렌딩하는 경우 상대적으로 낮은 PBT의 용융점도에 의하여 PEN의 용융점도가 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 PEN과 PBT의 상호에스테르 교환반응에 의하여 추가적인 용융점도 감소가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 윤활제로 calcium stearate(CaST)를 첨가하면 CaST는 윤활제로서의 역할과 함께 PEN과 PBT의 상호에스테르 교환반응을 촉진하는 역할을 하여 용융점도가 현저하게 감소됨을 확인하였다. 상호에스테르 교환반응을 이용한 반응 용융가공은 PEN과 PBT그리고 이들 블렌드의 분자량을 감소시키며 그 결과 기계적 물성 감소를 초래함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Stamper surface temperature is very critical in replicating the high density optical disc substrates using injection molding as the pit or land/groove patterns on the optical disc substrate have decreased due to the rapid increase of areal density. During the filling stage, the polymer melt in the vicinity of the stamper surfaces rapidly solidifies and the solidified layer generated during polymer filling greatly deteriorates transcribability and fluidity of polymer melt. To improve transcribability and fluidity of polymer melt, stamper surface temperature should be controlled such that the growth of the solidified layer is delayed during the filling stage. In this study, the effect of heating on replication process was simulated numerically. Then, an injection mold equipped with instant active heating system was designed and constructed to raise the stamper surface temperature over the glass transition temperature during filling stage of the injection molding. Also, the closed loop controller using the Kalman filter and the linear quadratic Gaussian regulator was designed. As a result, the stamper surface temperature was controlled according to the desired reference stamper surface temperature.
