Very slow degradation of synthetic based polymers has created a severe environmental issue that increased awareness towards research in polymers of biodegradable property. Soy protein isolate (SPI) is a natural biopolymer used as matrix in green composites but it has limitations of low mechanical properties and high water sensitivity. To enhance mechanical properties and reduce water sensitivity of Jute-SPI composites, SPI was modified with pine rosin which is also a natural cross-linking agent. 30% glycerol on the weight basis of a matrix was used as a plasticizer. The fibre volume fraction was kept constant at 0.2 whereas the pine rosin in SPI ranged from 5% to 30% of the matrix. The effects of pine rosin on mechanical, thermal, water sensitivity and surface morphology have been characterized using various techniques. The mechanical properties and water absorbency were found to be optimum for 15% pine rosin in Jute-SPI composite. Therefore, Jute-SPI composite without pine rosin and with 15% pine rosin were chosen for investigation through characterization by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The surface morphology of the composite was influenced by pine rosin which is shown in the SEM image. TGA measurement showed that the thermal properties improved due to the addition of pine rosin. Antimicrobial test showed antimicrobial property in the composite occurring 15% pine rosin. The research paper concludes that the modification of SPI resin with an optimum percentage of pine rosin enhanced mechanical, thermal as well as water-resistant properties of jute fibre reinforced composites.

Modified phenolics can have a retarding effect on the gelation of wood oil. Modified phenolic resins can be used in media for paint, varnishes, primers, overprinting varnishes, litho, letterpress and rotogravure inks. Varnishes based on rosin phenolic are faster drying, have better durability, are harder and glosser, and have greater resistance to water than ones based on ester gums. These physical properties is concerned with molecular weight distribution of rosin modified phenol resin. This paper was studied about molecular weight distribution of rosin phenolics which were prepared between $130~250^{\circ}C$. The results were as follows: 1) Average molecular weights inereased with increasing reaction temperature. 2) $M_w/M_n$ were from 3.43 to 46.44 with increasing reaction temperature and so the molecular weight distributions were changed from random distribution to broad distribution. 3) The relation ship between intrinsic viscosity and weight average molecular weight was follows: $[{\;}{\;}]={\;}1{\times}{\;}10^{-6}M_w,{\;}M_w=M_w$ 4) Esterification reaction between the acid group of rosin and polyol was started about $230^{\circ}C$$.

Litho printing ink vehicles based on rosin modified phenolic are faster drying, have better durability, are harder and glosser and have greater resistance to water than ones based on ester gums. Ink-Water balance and rheological properties are important in litho printing process. These physical properties is concerned with molecular weight of Resin to use vehicle. So this paper was studied about the effects of changing molecular weight of Rosin modified phenolic on surface tension, viscosity, pseudoplasticity and printability of Litho Inks. The results were as follows. 1) The surface tension of model inks depended on the molecular \veight of the resin : Dispersion componnent of ink increase but non dispersion component decrease as molecular weight of Resin increase. 2) Water pick-up of litho ink is more fast balance, using low molecular weight of Resin. 3) Viscosity, Yield value and Newtonian value of model inks increase as molecular weight of Resin increase. 4) The litho ink prepared with the modified phenolic of which molecular weight is about 20000 showed the highest printing density and gloss.

This study was measured and analyzed from January to November 2019 to confirm the effect that Abietic acid, an asthma-causing substance, which can be exposed to workers in the electronics industry, is removed by plasma treatment. The experiment was carried out using a solder wire and natural rosin. Air at temperatures of 250℃, 300℃, and 350℃ was collected with a glass fiber filter paper using an air sampler for 10 minutes at a flow rate of 2ℓ/min. An analysis of the collected samples was performed by pretreatment with methyl alcohol and quantitative analysis by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This procedure confirmed that abietic acid was generated in both natural rosin and solder wires, and the quantum of abietic acid increased as the treatment temperature increased. The amount of abietic acid was higher in natural rosin than solder wire. As a result of plasma treatment, a removal efficiency of about 92% or more was confirmed in natural rosin. A peak of abietic acid was not detected in the solder wire. Therefore, a removal efficiency of 100% was confirmed. This study, confirmed that abietic acid, an asthma-trigger can be generated in solder wire and natural rosin, and can be removed by plasma treatment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the experimental and commercial fluoride varnishes on the Vickers hardness of bovine teeth. The experimental fluoride varnishes with 5 wt.% NaF were fabricated using Bis-GMA or rosin as the resin base. The components were mixed with over-head stirrer under warming up in a double boiler for 30 minutes. Four commercial fluoride varnishes (V-varnish, Flor-opal, Cavity shield, Fluor protector) were compared with the experimental fluoride varnishes. Vickers hardness was measured on the labial surface of bovine anterior teeth after applying fluoride varnish on 5th and 30th day. The surface of bovine teeth was observed with a scanning electron microscope before and after applying fluoride varnish and the change of the components on the bovine teeth surface was measured with EDX. In terms of hardness, the experimental rosin-based fluoride varnish showed significantly higher hardness on the 5th and 30th day than the control (bovine teeth without fluoride treatment)(p<0.05). EDX results showed that the fluoride content on the surface of bovine teeth treated with the experimental rosin-based fluoride varnish was highest on the 1st and 10th day. The higher hardness and fluoride content of experimental rosin-based fluoride varnish can be considered to be used as an effective fluoride varnish to prevent dental caries.

The purpose of this study was to fabricate a biocompatible fluoride varnish with sustained fluoride release, and to compare it with commercial fluoride varnishes. For the experimental fluoride varnish, bis-GMA (BG) or two types of rosin (KR-610: K0, KR-612: K2) were used as bases. Either ethyl acetate or ethanol was added as solvent and 5 wt% NaF was used. 5 mg of experimental F- varnishes and 2 commercial products, Cavity shield (CS) and Flor-opal (FO), were applied on a labial surface of bovine teeth ($10mm{\times}7mm$). The amount of fluoride release was measured at 1 hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 12 hrs, 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, 20 days and 30 days. MTT test was done with diluted F- varnishes using ethanol. Statistical analysis was done with one-way ANOVA and Duncan multiple range test (${\alpha}=0.05$). BG showed the highest fluoride release at 1 hr (P<0.05), while that of K0 was highest at 2 hrs (P<0.05). From 1 day to 5 days, experimental fluoride varnishes showed higher fluoride release than the commercial products (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences after 5 days (P>0.05). For MTT test, K0 and FO showed higher cell viability than other experimental groups (P<0.05), with no significant differences with K2 (P>0.05). Considering the sustained fluoride release and cell viability of the experimental rosin-based fluoride varnishes compared with commercial products, it will be appropriate for clinical application.

Rosin moeity-containing monomer was prepared by the reaction of abietic acid with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate in tetrahydrofuran(THF) using diethyl azodicarboxylate as a catalyst. This new monomer was photo-polymerized to give thin films in the presence of a radical type initiator. The rate of photo-polymerization and amount of cured polymer were determined using the residual yield method. A thermogravimetric analysis of the cured polymer showed that the film was stable up to 170oC, at which point the polymer film has lost 10 wt % of its weight.

In this study, we synthesized rosin-based epoxy resin and manufactured two components adhesives and epoxy putty using this epoxy resin. This study manufactured main element of adhesives for enabling it to form epoxide group by letting epichlorohydrin react to maleic anhydride modified rosin, and used room temperature curing type triethylenetetramine for hardener. The ratio between main element and hardener of of manufactured adhesives was 100 : 20, and main element and hardener of filling material were manufactured as clay type by mixing them with filler. Manufactured undiluted adhesives and filling material showed very stable result in the adhesive strength (3.06 MPa) and ultraviolet irradiation, showing outstanding result comparing to existing restoration adhesives. And it is considered a material having reversibility as it was dissolved in organic solvents such as acetone and toluene after being hardened, which showed a result that solved part of possible problems caused by restoration. As a result of use and application of manufactured adhesives and filling material for actual wood crafts, they showed excellent results in workability, stability, removability etc., and this study confirmed that the material can be used for and applied to various fields.

To investigate the drying behaviors of the water-based natural coating made by rosin during drying, the mass transfer and optical change from speckle image and speckle rate were measured and the relationship between two analysis methods were investigated. At a linear scale, the speckle rate measured by HORUS related with the mass transfer of coating during drying, and the speckle rate at a log scale was included not only drying time, but also drying mechanism of coating during drying. Therefore, the HORUS was an available method to investigate the drying time and drying mechanism of coating during drying.
