Recycling of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) scrap was tried by blending with polypropylene (PP). EPDM scrap powder was prepared by shear pulverization process at high temperature, which may lead to selective chain scission induced by difference in the critical elastic coefficient. On the other hand, EPDM scrap powder was prepared by adding a selected reclaiming agent during shear pulverization process at high temperature. Terpene as a bonding agent was then introduced to improve adhesion property. PP, used as a matrix for manufacturing thermoplastic elastomer, was modified by the incorporation of dicumyl peroxide and maleic anhydride. The functionalized EPDM and modified PP were blended and cured dynamically at $190^{\circ}C$. The blend materials prepared in this study showed the comparable results to those of conventional TPE in terms of tensile and flow properties. Also, the odor component of recycled EPDM was analyzed using GC-MS.

본 연구에서는 웨더스트립 공정스크랩인 폐 EPDM을 재활용하기 위해 고온전단분쇄기를 이용하여 표면활성화 된 EPDM 분말을 제조하여 이의 물성과 냄새성분분석에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 사용되어진 폐 EPDM은 solid, sponge, solid+sponge, solid+metal형으로서 입도분석과 SEM을 통해 입자크기와 입도 분포도를 조사하였고, 가교제를 첨가하여 활성화 된 분말표면의 재가교 여부를 조사하였다. Solid형의 경우 가장 좁은 입도 분포도와 작은 입자크기, 상대적으로 높은 인장 물성을 나타내었다. 화학적 표면 탈황을 유도하기 위해 표면활성화제를 첨가한 결과 표면활성화제의 첨가량이 증가할수록 효율적인 탈황이 유도되었다. TPE제조를 위해 폴리올레핀과의 블렌드 시 활성화된 EPDM 분말의 동적가황 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 가교제를 첨가하여 반응을 진행한 결과 황을 첨가할 경우 가교반응이 진행되지 않았고, DCP(dicumyl peroxide)의 경우 6 phr이 첨가되었을 때 효율적인 표면 가교반응 및 최적의 인장 물성을 나타내었다. 화학적 표면 활성화를 유도한 폐 EPDM 분말의 경우 표면활성화제의 첨가로 인해 냄새가 발생되는데, 이를 제거하기 위하여 수분흡착 공정과 rose oil 첨가 공정을 진행하였으며 GC/MS를 통해 냄새 성분을 분석하였다.

This article discusses David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly as a suggestive text for examining Western masculinity in crisis in the post-imperialist age, in which territorial imperialism is no longer valid. Previous scholarship on M. Butterfly has centered around the interlocking dynamics of imperialism, racism and sexism. Such critical attentions focus on how Hwang deconstructs racialized significations of the East and the West. In these discussions, the issue of gender is often addressed merely as a trope to represent the power relations between the East and the West. As such, gender as well as sexuality is highlighted as the very source of subversion of the power relations. My discussion departs from a critique of the gendered trope of the East and the West, highlighting a postmodern agent, the allegedly feminized character Song Lining: a Chinese actor who passes for a woman for political purposes in postcolonial China. Remaining an "inappropriate/d other" in the gendered imperialist discourse, Song becomes an emergent subject, who is capable of playing gender ambiguity for reclaiming a devalued identity, that of homosexual Asian man. Discussing how the central character Rene Gallimard's masculine identity is constructed in a cross-cultural space and how it evolves, I also argue that Gallimard's melancholic death signifies a historical unsustainability of imperialist masculinity in the postmodern/postcolonial age since World War II.
