내충격성 폴리스티렌 (HIPS)의 내충격성에 영향을 주는 중요한 요소 중의 하나는 분산된 고무상 입자의 크기 및 입도분포이다. 본 연구에서는 반응조건이 HIPS의 고무상 입자 크기 및 입도분포에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 HIPS를 중합 제조한 다음 고무함량, 교반속도 및 전중합 시간에 따른 고무상 입도분포 및 형태구조를 고찰하였다. 입도분석기로 분석한 결과, 톨루엔을 분산용매로 사용한 경우 열처리 온도가 낮을수록, 열처리 시간이 짧을수록 팽윤의 영향으로 고무상의 평균 입자경이 커졌지만, MEK의 경우에는 열처리 과정이 없어도 보다 합당한 입도분포를 얻을 수 있었다. 고무함량이 증가함에 따라 고무상의 평균 입자경은 뚜렷하게 커졌지만 고무함량이 적은 경우에는 교반속도가 증가하여도 평균 입자경은 그다지 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 하지만 교반속도가 커짐에 따라 고무상 내의 폴리스티렌 포획입자는 크기가 균일해짐을 확인하였다. 또한 전중합시간에 따른 입도분포의 변화를 고찰한 결과 전중합 시간이 길어질수록 보다 작은 입도분포를 얻을수 있었다.

폴리스티렌의 취약한 성질을 개선한 내충격정 폴리스티렌 (HIPS)의 내충격성에 영향을 주는 요소는 분산된 고무상 입자의 크기 및 입도분포, 분자량, 형태구조, 그래프트율 등이다. 이에 따라 HIPS의 물성은 영향을 받으므로 이를 조절하거나 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 HIPS의 벌크-용액중합에서 용매함량이 고무입자의 형태구조 및 입도분포, 최종 물성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 먼저 중합 진행에 따른 분산상의 입도분포를 측정함으로써 상역전 현상의 변화 추이를 파악하여 전중합 시간을 결정하였다. 중합시 분산용매는 적절한 양에 도달하기 전까지는 고무입자의 크기가 증가하였으며, 그 후에는 점차적으로 감소하였다. 고무상의 형태구조는 분산용매가 증가함에 따라서 그래프트율이 증가하는 형태구조로 바뀌는 것으로 사료된다. 분산용매가 첨가됨에 따라 유변물성 및 인장물성이 취약해졌는데, 이는 분산용매에 의한 사슬이동반응이 매트릭스상인 폴리스티렌의 분자량을 감소시킨 점과 잔류 용매의 존재 때문이었다. 하지만 내충격성은 분산입자의 크기가 증가한 경우 향상되는 경향을 보였다.

A correlative analysis has been carried out to predict the average particle size of rubber dispersed phase In high impact polystyrene manufactured by bulk polymerization. To do the correlation, a mechanistic model suggested previously by the author was used for describing the size of stabilizing particles agitated under the turbulent viscous shear subranges in a prepolymerization reactor, where the rubber particles were assumed to be formed at the time of phase inversion in the reactor. Viscosities required for the model were postulated to describe the overall behavior of butadiene rubber and polystyrene mixture along the wide range of conversion. The good agreement between the model and the experimental data from a plant was quite satisfactory for the prediction of the average rubber particle size of high impact polystyrene.

Monodisperse composite latex particles with size of ca. 300 nm, which consist ofn-butyl acrylate as a soft phase and methyl methacrylate as a hard phase with different morphology, were synthesized by seeded multi-stage emulsion polymerization. Three types of composite latex particles including random-, core/shell-, and gradient-type particles were obtained by using different monomer feeding methods during semi-batch emulsion polymerization. Effect of poly(butyl acrylate)-poly(methyl methacrylate) rubber particle morphology on the mechanical and rheological properties of rubber toughened poly(methyl methacrylate) was investigated. Among three different rubber particles, the gradient-type rubber particle showed better toughening effect than others. No significant variation of rheological property of poly(methyl methacrylate)/rubber blends was observed for the different rubber particle morphology.

직접 중합법으로 내충격성 폴리스티렌과 유기화 층상 실리케이트의 나노복합체를 합성하여 점토 첨가에 의한 고무 입자 크기 및 물성의 영향을 조사하였다. 사용한 유기화 점토 중에서는 벤젠기를 지닌 몬모릴로나이트가 폴리스티렌에 우수한 분산 효과를 나타내었다 유기화 점토를 첨가한 경우 X선 회절 분석에서 층간삽입된 피이크를 관찰할 수 있었으나, 고무의 농도가 증가할수록 낮은 각도쪽으로 이동하는 것으로 보아 유기화 점토는 고무에 더 좋은 분산성을 보이는 것으로 파악된다. 분산상인 고무 입자는 점토를 첨가할수록 평균 입자경이 커지며 넓은 입도 분포를 나타내었는데, 이는 점토 첨가에 의해 폴리스티렌 상에 대한 고무 상의 점도비가 더욱 증가하여 평균 입자가 커졌으며 분산계가 불안정해져 넓은 입도 분포를 갖는 것으로 추정된다. 열중량 분석의 결과 나노복합체는 향상된 열적 물성을 보여주었고, 유변 물성을 측정한 결과 점토가 첨가됨에 따라 재료의 복소 점도 및 저장 탄성률은 향상되었다.

In this work, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) were used to modify asphalt, resulting in SBR- and SBS-modified asphalt, respectively. The two modified asphalts were emulsified with a nonionic emulsifier (Span 60) and cationic emulsifiers (ID, DDA) and their phase stabilization was investigated via particle size, Zeta potential, and flow behavior analysis. With increasing amount of the mixed emulsifier, the particle size decreased, leading to an increase in viscosity. The shear thinning behaviors and Zeta potential values ranging from 35-65 mV were determined and remained considerably stable. In addition, the adhesion strength and compression strength of the SBR-and SBS-modified asphalt emulsion were evaluated via surface free energy examination. The remarkable adhesion and compression strengths were estimated when 5 phr ID and 6 phr DDA were added to the emulsified asphalt modified with SBR and SBS. Therefore ID and DDA, the two cationic surfactants, played significant roles in improving the dispersion and interfacial adhesion strength, resulting in the improved adhesion and compression strength of the emulsified asphalts modified with SBR and SBS.

In this work, the emulsified asphalt with high phase stability and storage stability was prepared by using phase inversion emulsification and the surfactant mixed with cationic and nonionic surfactants. It was found that the asphalt together with Span 20, nonionic surfactant and DDA (Dimethyl Dodecyl Amine), cationic surfactant showed the most stable phase. The phase stability of the emulsified asphalt, therefore, was investigated through the particle size with mixed surfactant content, rheology behavior and Zeta potential value; the particle size decreased with the increase of the mixed surfactant content but the viscosity increased. The shear thinning behaviors and the Zeta potential value with 50 mV~60 mV were shown, which was found to be considered stable. In addition, SBR latex(Styrene-butadiene-rubber) and water dispersed Epoxy (EPD) were used to enhance the physical properties of the emulsified asphalt. The swelling and adhesion features of the emulsified asphalt were also studied with $CaCO_3$, Silica, and Montmorillonite (MMT). It was shown that the addition of SBR latex and MMT can be another way to improve the physical properties of the emulsified asphalt in that the lowest swelling feature was found.

The characteristics of all polymer composites containing carbon materials are determined by four factors: component properties, composition, structure and interfacial interactions. The most important filler characteristics are particle size, size distribution, specific surface area and particle shape. As a consequence, in this paper we discuss the aspects of the mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of composites with different fillers of carbon black, carbon nanotube (CNT), graphene and graphite and focus on the relationship between factors and properties, as mentioned above. Accordingly, we fabricate rubber composites that contain various carbon materials in carbon black-based and silica based-SBR matrixes with dual phase fillers and use scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, a rhometer, an Instron tensile machine, and a thermal conductivity analyzer to evaluate composites' mechanical, fatigue, thermal, and electronic properties. In mechanical properties, hardness and 300%-modulus of graphene-composite are sharply increased in all cases due to the larger specific surface. Also, it has been found that the thermal conductivity of the CNT-composite is higher than that of any of the other composites and that the composite with graphene has the best electrical properties.

In this research, we experimentally investigated the sealing performance of elastomeric rotary lip seals for washing machines. In general, NBR is used as a material for elastomeric rotary lip seals in washing machines, but the mixing formula of the rubber material can affect the sealing performance. In this study, we manufactured rotary lip seals using three kinds of NBRs with a different mixing formula, and examined the sealing performance using an acceleration test mode. The results of an SEM investigation into the surfaces of three kinds of specimens showed a much smaller wear volume and better sealing performance for the specimens with smaller particle sizes of mixing composition than for the specimen with the larger. Repeated deformation and recovery by the shaft-to-seal eccentricity on rotation were shown to cause a phase difference in the rubber material, and we measured the recovery ratio to find the influence of this phase difference on the sealing performance. As another method for checking the phase difference, we also measured tan ä, and a lower tan ä was revealed as the recovery ratio increased for each specimen. Specimens with a higher recovery ratio (lower tan ä) were shown to have a better sealing performance. Consequently, specimens with a smaller particle size in the mixing composition had a better sealing performance because they show a higher recovery ratio.

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.
