본 연구에서는 분자량이 다른 순수 천연고무 용융체와 다양한 유형의 카본블랙을 혼합한 배합고무 용융체의 탄성반응을 조사하였다. 또한 카본블랙과 고무 분자와의 상호작용과 이들 탄성반응이 갖는 상관성을 규명키 위해 입자의 크기와 구조가 다른 카본블랙을 대상으로 결합고무를 측정하였다. 카본블랙의 함량이 증가할수록 결합고무는 증가하였고 특히 카본블랙 입자의 크기가 작아 비표면적이 넓고 구조가 발달될수록 증가하였다. 카본블랙을 혼합한 배합고무 용융체의 탄성반응은 순수고무 경우에 비해 크게 향상되었으며 특히 결합고무가 큰 경우에 보다 현저하였다. 순수고무 용융체의 분자량이 증가할수록, 그리고 고무에 혼합된 카본블랙 입자의 크기가 작을수록 응력이완 거동은 지연되었으며 복원거동은 보다 탄성적으로 변하였다. 영구변형 거동에 있어서는 고무 분자량이 감소하고 카본블랙 입자 크기가 증가할수록 그 변형정도가 커졌다.

The self-assembly of block copolymers can lead to a variety of ordered structures on a nanometer scale. In this article, the self-assembling behaviors of triblock copolymers in the melt and the selective solvent are described with the results obtained from the computer simulations. With the advances of computing power, computer simulations using molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo techniques make it possible to study very complicated phenomena observed in the self-assembly of triblock copolymer. 13king full advantage of the computer simulation based on well-defined model, the effects of various structural and thermodynamic parameters such as the copolymer composition, the block sequence, the pairwise interaction energies, and temperature on the self-assembly are discussed in some detail. Some simulation results are compared with experimental ones End analyzed by comparing them with the theoretical treatment.

We develop a simple model which can describe and explain abnormal stress relaxation of ABS melt for which stress dose not exponentially decay. The relaxation behavior of ABS melt consists of two distinct relaxation modes. One is the relaxation of the matrix phase similar to the case of homopolymer melt. The other is manifested by the collection of butadiene rubber particles, named as the cluster, where the particles are connected through the interaction between grafted SAN and matrix SAN. The second mode of the relaxation is characterized by the relaxation time, which is a function of the average size and the microscopic state of the cluster. Experimental results reveal that it can be represented as the product of the average size of the clusters by a function of internal variable that represents the fraction of strained SAN chains inside the cluster.

We report the first steps of a collaborative project between the University of Queensland, Polyflow, Michelin, SK Chemicals, and RMIT University, on simulation, validation and application of a recently introduced constitutive model designed to describe branched polymers. Whereas much progress has been made on predicting the complex flow behaviour of many - in particular linear - polymers, it sometimes appears difficult to predict simultaneously shear thinning and extensional strain hardening behaviour using traditional constitutive models. Recently a new viscoelastic model based on molecular topology, was proposed by McLeish and carson (1998). We explore the predictive power of a differential multi-mode version of the porn-pom model for the flow behaviour of two commercial polymer melts: a (long-chain branched) low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and a (linear) high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The model responses are compared to elongational recovery experiments published by Langouche and Debbaut (19c99), and start-up of simple shear flow, stress relaxation after simple and reverse step strain experiments carried out in our laboratory.

Single flighted screw injection technology is the most cost effective method for the production of film, sheet, pipe and the fundamental step in other processes including blow molding and injection molding. The temperature of polymer melts and injection pressure play a very important role in the injection molding machine. Thermal distortion and displacement of a screw by temperature difference and injection pressure difference ratio cause a friction and thermoelastic wear by metal-to-metal contact between the screw and the cylinder. In this paper we analyzed thermal distortions of a screw as functions of temperature distribution and pressure profiles by finite element analysis.

고분자 용융 같은 물질의 유변학적인 성질은 전단 흐름에서 복잡한 비 뉴톤 유동 현상을 보인다. 이들 유동성질은 유동단위와 유동부분 사이의 상호작용의 특성에 의하여 결정된다. poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel의 비 뉴톤유동 곡선을 cone-plate 레오메타로 여러 온도와 여러 농도 조건에서 얻었다. PVA hydrogel의 유동 곡선을 비 뉴톤 유동식에 적용시켜 유동 파라메타를 얻었다. 유동현상은 전단 속도가 증가함에 따라 전단박화의 틱소트로피 현상을 나타내었다.

The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have achieved so far the highest validated efficiency over 11%. However, the cells with the best performance utilize volatile solvent as a electrolyte, which can cause some practical limitations for the long-term operation. This is one of the most substantial problems to be resolved for the commercialization of DSSCs. In order to improve the long-term stability, many research groups have reported new electrolyte system, to replace the liquid type electrolyte by non-volatile ones. In this work, we studied long-term stability of the DSSCs with various types of electrolytes such as (PVDF HFP) based polymer, eutectic melts of ionic liquids, and liquid based solvent. The cells with various electrolytes have been exposed to the condition under thermal stress and illumination over 1000 hours. We will report the change of photovoltaic properties with time and investigate the degradation mechanism with the impedance spectroscopic analysis.

The development of filament stretching extensional rheometers over the past decade has enabled the systematic measurement of the transient extensional stress growth in dilute and semi-dilute polymer solutions. The strain-hardening in the extensional viscosity of dilute solutions overwhelms the perturbative effects of capillarity, inertia & gravity and the kinematics of the extensional deformation become increasingly homogeneous at large strains. This permits the development of a robust open-loop control algorithm for rapidly realizing a deformation with constant stretch history that is desired for extensional rheometry. For entangled fluids such as concentrated solutions and melts the situation is less well defined since the material functions are governed by the molecular weight between entanglements, and the fluids therefore show much less pronounced strain-hardening in transient elongation. We use experiments with semi-dilute/entangled and concentrated/entangled monodisperse polystyrene solutions coupled with time-dependent numerical computations using nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive equations such as the Giesekus model in order to show that an open-loop control strategy is still viable for such fluids. Multiple iterations using a successive substitution may be necessary, however, in order to obtain the true transient extensional viscosity material function. At large strains and high extension rates the extension of fluid filaments in both dilute and concentrated polymer solutions is limited by the onset of purely elastic instabilities which result in necking or peeling of the elongating column. The mode of instability is demonstrated to be a sensitive function of the magnitude of the strain-hardening in the fluid sample. In entangled solutions of linear polymers the observed transition from necking instability to peeling instability observed at high strain rates (of order of the reciprocal of the Rouse time for the fluid) is directly connected to the cross-over from a reptative mechanism of tube orientation to one of chain extension.

최근 내화학성, 내마모성 및 내충격성이 뛰어나면서 재활용이 가능한 열가소성 폴리아미드 기반 복합재료를 제조하는 기술을 개발하기 위한 연구가 활발하다. 특히, 열가소성 고분자는 높은 점도로 용융 상태에서의 가공이 힘들기 때문에 저점도 단량체 상태로 금형 내부로 주입하면서 동시에 중합을 시키는 반응액상성형 공정이 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 단량체인 ε-카프로락탐은 중합속도가 매우 빠르고 외부 환경에 매우 민감하기 때문에 수지 함침과 중합 반응을 동시에 제어하면서 최적 공정조건을 확보하는 데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ε-카프로락탐의 음이온 중합과정에서 주요한 공정 변수인 점도 변화 거동을 관찰하였고 ε-카프로락탐의 빠른 중합, 낮은 점도, 수분 민감성에 따른 측정상의 문제 원인을 분석하여 개선책을 제시하였다. 개선된 점도 측정 방법에 대한 재현성과 신뢰성은 여러 상대습도에 대한 점도 측정 그리고 외부 환경(수분, 산소)과 차단된 상황에서의 중합과 개선된 점도 측정 결과와의 비교를 바탕으로 검증하였으며, 이는 복합재료 반응액상성형 공정의 제어 인자로 활용함으로써 공정 최적화에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
