This paper is focused on the characterization of the thermomechanical properties of semicrystalline poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEKK) and of carbon fiberreinforced thermoplastic based laminated composites (C/PEKK) below and above the glass transition temperature (T_g). Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and tensile tests are carried out on both pure PEKK polymer and [(±45)₂, +45]_s C/PEKK composite samples, showing a significant similarity in behavior. The employment of a simple micromechanical model confirms that the mechanical and physical behavior of the polymer and that of the matrix in the composite are similar.

저온 환경에서 사용하는 장치의 급격한 개발 요구에 따라 내한성을 가지는 케이블 재료에 대한 요구도 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 열가소성 폴리머는 폴리머를 구성하는 약 20개 이상의 첨가제와 폴리머의 종류와 함량에 따라 내한특성이 크게 좌우된다. 저온에서의 고분자 경화현상은 단순 온도에 의한 효과와 유리 전이온도에서의 취화 및 경화, 고분자의 결정화에 의한 경화로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저온의 유리 전이온도를 가지는 열가소성 폴리머와 난연제 및 첨가제 등을 혼합하여 전선용 열가소성 고분자 복합재료의 기계적 특성 평가를 하였다. 첨가제와 상용화제의 첨가량에 따라 기계적 물성과 가공성 등이 결정되는 것을 확인하였고 본 연구는 저온용으로 개발하는 전선 요구성능 충족을 위한 최적화의 기초 데이터로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

열가소성 복합재료를 적용하여 자동차 도어 임팩트 빔을 설계하고 시생산을 통해 생산성 및 성능을 검증하였다. 자동차 안전법규는 지속적으로 강화되어 왔으며 최근 자동차 산업에서 경량화가 필수 요건이 되면서 고성능 경량 부품에 대한 요구가 크게 증대되고 있다. 본 연구는 섬유강화 열가소성 복합소재를 도입하여 기존 탄소강 제품 대비 경량화 되면서 성능은 향상된 도어 임팩트 빔 개발을 목표로 하였다. 연속섬유 복합재료와 장섬유 복합재료(LFT)를 혼합 적용한 도어 임팩트 빔 제작 공정을 제시하며, 생산성이 우수한 인서트 사출 공정을 활용하여 구현하였다. 시생산된 도어 임팩트 빔은 3점 굽힘 시험을 통하여 성능을 평가하였다. 열가소성 복합재료는 경량화 설계와 함께 높은 생산성 구현이 가능하여 다양한 자동차 부품으로 복합소재의 적용을 확대시킬 것이다.

In this study, thermoplastic composites were manufactured using ABS(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PC(polycarbonate), and POE(polyolefin elastomer), which are thermoplastic plastics. Twin screw extruder and injection molding were used to manufacture thermoplastic composites. When the ABS/PC/POE thermoplastic composite material was manufactured, the POE mass fraction was set to 1 to 5 wt.%, and the thermal and mechanical properties according to the POE mass fraction were analyzed. Based on the physical properties of ABS/PC/POE, a 3D model in the form of an e-bike frame was created. After setting the boundary conditions, when an external load is applied, geometry simulation was performed to predict product performance. The ABS/PC/POE thermoplastic composite material exhibited the best physical properties when the mass fraction of POE was 3 wt.%. In the simulation results for the physical properties of the 3D model in the form of an e-bike frame, the best physical properties were shown when the mass fraction of POE was 2 ~ 3 wt.%. As a result, the manufacturing conditions for ABS/PC/POE thermoplastic composite materials were set, and research was conducted to reduce product development costs and development time.

Recently fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites have attracted great interest from industry and study because they offer unique properties such as high strength, modulus, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and damping reduction which are difficult to obtain in single-component materials. The demand for plastics is steadily increasing not only in household goods, packaging materials, but also in high-performance engineering plastic and recycling. As a result, the technology of recycling plastic is also attracting attention. In particular, many paper have studied recycling systems based on recycled thermoplastics. In this paper, properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic(GFRTP) materials were evaluated using recycled PET for injection molding bicycle frame. The effect on thermal and mechanical properties of recycled PET reinforced glass chop fiber according to fiber cross section and fiber content ratio were studied. And it was compared void volume and torque energy by glass fiber cross section, which is round section and flat section. Mechanical characteristics of resulting in GF/rPET has been increased by increasing fiber contents, than above a certain level did not longer increased. And mechanical properties of flat glass fiber reinforced rPET with low void volume were most excellent.

This study was performed to find the best bonding conditions by comparing mechanical properties in thermoplastic resin of polyethylene (PE) and polyamide (PA) adhesion. Following results were obtained from the tests with varying welding time and welding pressure. Satisfactory adhesion was executed in ultrasonic welding for the same materials of PE and PA. The best welding conditions were found to be welding time of 1 second, welding pressure of 250kPa for PE-PE weding, 2 second and 350kPa for PA-PA welding. Welding time and welding pressure end to increase with the increase of materials strength. Dissimilar materials were adhered when adhesion and ultrasonc welding were performed simultaneously. The observation of the structure of ultrasonic welding area with microscope showed differenticated structures between well adhered region and badly adhered region.

A comprehensive survey of the available literature showed that in the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs). TPVs are the second largest group of soft thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) after styrene-based block copolymers, and offer a wide range of potential and proven applications, including in mechanical rubber goods, under-the-hood applications in the automotive field, industrial hose applications, electrical applications, consumer goods, and soft touch applications. Over the last two decades, TPVs have shown a strong and steady market growth (~12% per year). Commercialized TPVs are commonly based on blends of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber and polypropylene (PP), and to a lesser extent on combinations of butyl or nitrile rubber with PP. EPDM/PP TPVs are characterized by finely dispersed crosslinked EPDM rubber particles (particles size varying between 0.5 and $2.0{\mu}m$) distributed in a continuous thermoplastic PP matrix. If the rubber particles of such a blend are small enough and if they are vulcanized well enough, then the properties of the blend are generally improved. This review article introduces various topics and aspects relevant to EPDM/PP TPVs. The development of TPVs, the use of various types of crosslinking systems and co-agents as crosslinking agents for PP/EPDM blends, the morphology and rheology of TPVs, and their typical end-use applications are also reviewed.
