The effect of curing temperature increase and sulfur amount added were studied with natural and synthetic rubbers. Also, the effects of TMTD, MBTS and mixture of zinc soaps of high molecular fatty acids added to natural rubber were investigated respectively. The experimental results showed that, in the case of the conventional curing ($145^{\circ}C$), natural rubber, compared with synthetic rubber, gave higher values in elongation, tensile strength, cure rate, and lower values in modulus change. But, at high temperature curing ($180^{\circ}C$), natural rubber showed faster reversion rate, and higher heat build-up compared to synthetic rubber, than in the conventional curing. Also, natural rubber produced at high temperature showed severe degradation in hardness and tensile strength before heat-aging as well as in hardness, modulus and tensile strength after heat-aging. Improved reversion effect was obtained with natural rubber either by blending mixture of zinc soaps of high molecular acids or by applying semi-efficient vulcanization system.

The liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system (the 3rd generation technology) has been considered as one of the more promising fuel supply systems for LPG vehicles. To investigate the characteristics of LPG residue in LPLi system, various rubbers were reacted with LPG fuels. The results showed that the residue of a cover rubber in a fuel pump after test increased 10 times higher than that before test. Furthermore, the amount of sulfur, nitrogen species which are considered as main sources in deposit formation in the LPLi fuel injector were also found to be higher than that in original LPG fuel. And these residues made the core parts of LPLi injector such as a neddle and a nozzle, partially worn, which eventually causes a leakage in LPLi injectors.

The effects of carbon black on the critical J-value and the surface fracture morpology of the carbon-black filled natural rubbers were investigated. Different kinds of carbon blacks resulted in different critical J-values, surface, and roughness. It was noticed that the critical J-value was almost the same regardless of the length of a pre-crack. In addition, different kinds of carbon blacks resulted in different fracture morphologies, and micro-scale and macro-scale roughnesses. The critical J-value could be linearly expressed by the micro-scale roughness and the macro-scale roughness and it seemed related to the size distribution of carbon black particles. And we also found that the macro-scale ms roughness was more sensitive than the micro-scale ms roughness to the critical J-value by the result of correlation coefficient, r$^2$.

이 논문은 반도전 실리콘 고무 표면에 코로나 방전 처리하여 이종의 실리콘 고무와의 접착 특성을 나타낸 것이다. 반도전 실리콘 고무 표면 상태를 발수성 등급에 따른 분류와 FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy)를 사용하여 평가하였다. 표면 상태 변화에 따른 반도전 실리콘 고무의 접착 특성은 T-peel test로 접착강도를 시험하였다. 실험 결과 고에너지의 코로나 방전으로 반도전 실리콘 고무의 결합쇄가 절단되었고 이 부분에 산소가 결합되어 극성 관능기를 생성하여 표면을 산화시켰다. 이러한 표면 상태 변화에 따른 접착강도는 초기 상태일 때 보다 코로나 방전 처리 후 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이 논문을 통하여 코로나 방전 처리는 이종 계면의 접착 특성을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 이종 계면에서 발생하는 절연 파괴 전압을 높여 전기절연 성능을 향상시키는데 도움이 될 것이다.

Damping materials encompass a broad range of materials, including, but not limits to, pressure sensitive adhesives, epoxies, rubbers, foams, thermoplastics, enamels and mastics. Their common characteristic is that their modulus is represented by a complex quantity, possessing both a stored and dissipative energy component.

This study investigated the biomass content of fluff type SRF(Solid refuse fuel) operated in B city according to the physical composition. As a result of analyzing the physical composition of SRF, it was investigated that papers 25.2%, fiber 15.1%, vinyl·plastics 42.6%, woods 9.4%, rubbers 1.5%, diapers 3.2% and incombustibles 3.0%. The average of ash and combustible content of SRF was 10.5% and 89.5%, and the higher the proportion of paper and wood, the lower proportion of ash. In addition, the biomass of SRF is 24.9%~58.0%, with an average of 42.6%.

A strain energy density function is used to characterize the hyperelasticity of rubber-like materials. Conventional models, such as the Neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, and Ogden models, are widely used in automotive industries, in which the strain potential is derived from strain invariants or principal stretch ratios. A fitting procedure for experimental data is required to determine material constants for each model. However, due to the complexities of the mathematical expression, these models can only produce an accurate curve fitting in a specified strain range of the material. In this study, a hyperelastic model for Neodymium Butadiene rubber is developed by using the Artificial Neural Network. Comparing the analytical results to those obtained by conventional models revealed that the proposed model shows better agreement for both uniaxial and equibiaxial test data of the rubber.

Reactions between chlorinated or brominated poly(isobutylene-isoprene) (CIIR and BIIR, respectively) and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane(MPS) were kinetically studied by gas chromatography in solution state. CIIR and BIIR were mixed with MPS and dibutyltin dilaurate as catalyst on roll mill and then the compounds were cured in hot water or atmosphere. From the gas chromatography, reaction order, activation energy, and frequency factor were determined. Crosslinking density and physical properties of moisture-cured CIIR and BIIR were measured. CIIR and BIIR were effectively moisture-cured and physical properties of these rubbers were comparatively good.

Owing to their unique properties originating from slidable cross-links, polyrotaxane derivatives have potential applications as polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, lightweight polymer alloys for vehicular bodies and their glazing, elastic rubbers for tires, hydrogels for drug delivery. This article reviews the structures of polyrotaxanes comprising cyclic molecules threaded by a linear axle polymer. Next, the versatile characteristics of polyrotaxane gels, elastomers, and polymer alloys such as toughness, elasticity, and softness are discussed in relation to their supramolecular architectures. Finally, the mechanical behavior of solid ring cross-links are compared with that of conventional fixed cross-links for better understanding.
