Open microcellular foams having small-sized cell and good mechanical properties are desirable for many practical applications. As an effort to reduce the cell size, the microcellular foams combining viscosity improvers into the conventional formulation of styrene and water system were prepared via high internal phase emulsion polymerization. Since the material properties of foam are closely related to the solution properties of emulsion state before polymerization, the flow behavior of emulsions was investigated using a controlled stress rheometer. The yield stress and the storage modulus increased as viscosity improver concentration and agitation speed increased, due to the reduced cell size reflecting both a competition between the continuous phase viscosity and the viscosity ratio and an increase of shear force. Appreciable tendency was found between the rheological data of emulsions and the cell sizes of polymerized foams. Cell size reduction with the concentration of viscosity improver could be explained by the relation between capillary number and viscosity ratio. A correlative study for the cell size reduction with agitation speed was also attempted and the result was in a good accordance with the hydrodynamic theory.

This study focuses on the effects of dispersion method of a nanoparticle in a polymer matrix such as melt mixing, solution blending, and in-situ polymerization on the physical properties of the nanocomposites. Introduction of a nanoparticle to a polymer resulted in some unusual physical properties. In some cases the nanoparticle played a role of a nucleating agent, leading to decreasing induction time to crystallization. In addition, the dispersion state of the nanoparticle in the polymer matrix also had a significant influence on the physical properties of the nanocomposites. Hence the method of introducing the nanoparticle to the polymer made contribution to the rheological properties of the nanocomposite systems.

This study investigated the effects of galacomannans (guar gum, tara gum, and locust bean gum) on the rheological properties of buckwheat starch pastes under steady and dynamic shear conditions. The power law and Casson models were applied to describe the flow behavior of the buckwheat starch and galactomannan mixtures. The values of the apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,100}$), consistency index (K), and yield stress (${\sigma}_{oc}$) for buckwheat starch-galactomannan mixtures were significantly greater than those for the control, indicating that there was a high synergism of the starch with galactomannans. The magnitudes of storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") for the starch-galactomannan mixtures increased with increasing frequency (${\omega}$). The dynamic moduli (G', G"), and complex viscosity (${\eta}^*$) for the buckwheat starch-galactomannan mixtures were significantly higher than those for the control.

In order to investigate the rheological properties of belite-rich cement(BRC) added polycarbonate-based superplasticizer and blastfurnace slags which have different blaines at 4500, 6000 and 8000$\textrm{cm}^2$/g, the change of minislumps and mortar slumps are measured with time. The rheological properties improve as specific surface area of added slag decreases or amount of polycarbonate-based superplasticizer increases. The slump loss can be controlled effectively by the steric hinderance effect of polycarbonate-based superplasticizer. According to the results, when mix proportion of the mortar is 1.5% mass content of superplasticizer and 30% mass addition of blastfurnace slag which blaine is 4500$\textrm{cm}^2$/g, the best mortar slump can be achieved without any significant segregation of materials.

The effects of low viscosity chitosan on the rheological properties of soymilk using a model system and on tofu qualities were examined. The flow behavior of soy milk with chitosan closed the Newtonian flow and stabilized according to increasing chitosan concentration. The soymilk containing $glucono-\delta-lactone$ exhibited a more pseudoplastic flow behavior compared with that of the control soymilk. The addition of low viscosity chitosan to the tofu preparation did not significantly affect its physicochemical properties. However, the results of the TEM image and instrumental textural properties showed that low viscosity chitosan affected the construction of the tofu structure. Chitosan tofu had low scores across the whole field of appearance in the sensory evaluation, and its overall eating quality was scored significantly lower. These results suggest that the addition of low viscosity chit os an affects the quality of tofu, which changes according to the degree of polymerization and concentration of chitosan.

We investigated thermal, rheological, morphological and mechanical properties of a binary blend of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene succinate adipate) (PBSA). The blends were extruded and their molded properties were examined. DSC thermograms of blends indicated that the thermal properties of PLA did not change noticeably with the amount of PBSA, but thermogravimetric analysis showed that thermal stability of the blends was lower than that of pure PLA and PBSA. Immiscibility was checked with thermal data. The rheological properties of the blends changed remarkably with composition. The tensile strength and modulus of blends decreased with PBSA content. Interestingly, however, the impact strength of PLA/PBSA (80/20) blend was seriously increased higher than the rule of mixture. Morphology of the blends showed a typical sea and island structure of immiscible blend. The effect of the blend composition on the biodegradation was also investigated. In the early stage of the degradation test, the highest rate was observed for the blend containing $80wt\%$ PBSA.

In these days, according to increased environmental regulations, to reduce the VOC content in paints and inks efforts are now in progress. A lot of research have progressed hydrocarbon solvents substitute with vegetable oil or ester in the printing ink but it is restricted to use vegetable oil in the inks because of high molecular weight and viscosity. Oil ester currently developed for printing inks still have some drawbacks, but overall the printability and print quality when using ester than hydrocarbon solvents are showing good results. Thus, in this paper, I studied about the properties variation of the varnish and inks according to vegetable ester, after I reacted vegetable ester using the vegetable fatty acid and ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol. The compared in order of average molecular weight by the GPC method, rheological properties were found by rotational rheometer, and emulsion behavior were compared by high speed emulsification tester.

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC) and their alloys are an important class of engineering thermoplastics that are widely used for automotive industry, computer and equipment housings. For the process of recycling mixtures of ABS and PC, it is desirable to know how sensitive the blend properties are to changes in compositions. It was for this reason that blends of virgin ABS and virgin PC at five different compositions, namely, $15\%,\;30\%,\;50\%,\;70%$ and $85\%$ by weight of ABS were prepared and characterised by rheological and mechanical measurements. Rheological properties of these blends in steady, oscillatory and transient step shear and mechanical properties, namely, tensile strength, elongation-at-break and Izod impact strength are reported. The results show that PC behaves in a relatively Newtonian manner, but ABS exhibits significant shear thinning. The ABS-rich blends show a trend that is similar to that of ABS, while PC-rich blends, namely $0\%$ and $15\%$, exhibit a nearly Newtonian behaviour. However, at a fixed shear rate or frequency, the steady shear or the dynamic viscosity varied respectively in a non-mono-tonic manner with composition. Except for $15\%$ blend, the viscosities of other blends fall into a narrow band indicating a wide-operation window of varying blend ratio. The blends exhibited a lower viscosity than either of the two pure components. The other noticeable feature was that the blends at $70\%$ and $85\%$ ABS content had a higher G' than pure ABS, indicating an enhancement of elastic effect. The tensile yield strength of the blends followed the 'rule of mixtures' showing a decreasing value with the increase of ABS content in PC. However, the elongation-at-break and the impact strength did not appear to obey this 'rule of mixtures,' which suggests that morphology of the blends also plays a significant role in determining the properties. Indeed, scanning electron micrographs of the fracture surfaces of the different blends validate this hypothesis, and the $15\%$ blend is seen to have the most distinct morphology and correspondingly different behaviour and properties.

본 연구는 국산 신품종 감자인 '고운', '새봉', '진선'의 이화학적, 구조적 및 유변학적 특성을 도입 품종인 '대서'와 비교하여 측정함으로써 신품종 감자의 가공적성 규명과 가공식품 제조를 위한 기초자료를 마련하기 위해 수행되었다. 감자가루의 총전분 함량은 도입 품종인 '대서'에서 73.34%로 유의적으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 품종별 감자가루의 인 함량은 '새봉'에서 2,249.94 ppm으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 신품종 감자가루의 구조분석 결과 전분 입자에 비전분성 물질이 결합 혹은 자유롭게 존재하는 미세구조를 나타내었고, X-선 회절도 분석에서 B형 전분의 결정형 피크를 나타내었다. FT-IR 분석 결과 지문영역에서 품종 간에 차이가 나타나지 않아 '대서'와 신품종 감자의 구조적인 특성에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. Rapid Visco Analyzer에 의한 페이스팅 특성은 '새봉' 품종의 peak viscosity가 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며, setback viscosity는 신품종 감자(38.67~56.00 cP)가 '대서(72.00 cP)'보다 낮게 나타났다. 정상유동 특성은 '대서'의 점조도 지수와 겉보기 점도가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 동적 점탄 특성에서는 진동수가 증가함에 따라 저장 탄성률(G′)과 손실 탄성률(G″) 값이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, '진선'의 G′, G″과 복소 점도 값이 가장 높게 나타났다.

본 연구는 '대서' 품종과 국산 신품종 감자('고운', '새봉', '진선')로 추출한 감자전분의 이화학적, 구조적, 페이스팅 및 유변학적 특성에 대하여 평가하였다. 인 함량은 전분 포도당 잔기의 C-6에서의 인산화 정도에 따라 '대서' 전분이 유의적으로 높았고 '고운' 전분이 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 인 함량은 전분의 peak viscosity에 영향을 미쳐 인 함량이 높은 '대서' 전분이 peak viscosity 또한 가장 높게 나타났다. Breakdown viscosity는 국산 신품종 감자전분이 '대서' 전분에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 나타남으로써 '대서' 전분보다 열과 전단에 의한 구조의 파괴가 적어 식품 가공에 이용하기 적합함을 확인하였다. 주사전자현미경, X-선 회절도, FT-IR 스펙트럼, 1D NMR 분석 결과 '대서' 전분과 국산 품종 감자전분의 구조적인 차이는 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 정상유동 특성에서는 모든 전분에서 shear-thinning 현상이 나타났으며 그중에서도 특히 '고운' 전분이 가장 강한 shear-thinning 현상과 가장 높은 ${\eta}_{a,5}$, K, ${\sigma}_{oc}$값을 나타냈다. 동적 점탄특성에서는 본 연구에 사용한 모든 국산 신품종 감자전분의 G'과 G"이 '대서' 전분보다 높아 점탄성이 우수함을 입증하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 페이스팅 특성과 동적 점탄특성 결과를 통해 국산 신품종의 감자전분의 열과 전단에 대한 저항성이 '대서' 전분보다 높아 가공 시 구조의 파괴가 적으며 점탄성 또한 '대서' 전분보다 높아 가공시장에서 더 유용하게 쓰일 수 있음을 확인하였다. 즉 본 연구에 사용된 국산 신품종 감자 품종이 가공용으로서 '대서' 품종을 대체해 국내 감자 가공시장의 점유율을 높일 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.
