Microstructural morphology of molded composites of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer(LCP) and polyamide 6 (PA6) has been studied as a function of epoxy fraction. Injection-moulding of a thin composite plaque at a temperature below the melting point of the LCP fibrils by suing the extruded LCP/PA6 pellets produced multi-layered structures: 1) the surface skin layer with thickness of 65-120 ym exhibiting a transverse orientation, 2) the sub-skin layer with an orientation perpendicular to the surface skin, i.e. in the flow direction, 3) the core layer with arc-curved flow patterns. Similar microstructural orientations were observed in the respective layers for the composite plaques with different fractions of epoxy.

이 논문에서는 폴리프로필렌/열방성 액정고분자 블렌드에 관한 연구 결과를 나타냈다. 기존의 연구에서 주로 쓰인 액정고분자 (Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer, TLCP)는 용융점이 대부분 270o0 이상으로 가공은 적어도 300oC 이상에서 가능하기 때문에, PP와의 블렌드 시 PP의 열분해를 피할 수 없다. 이 때문에 원하는 정도의 물성을 얻기 위해서는 과량의 TLCP를 첨가하여야 한다. 이 연구에서 고온용 TLCP 대신 융점이 220oC 정도 되는 새로운 TLCP를 사용하여 블렌드를 제조하였고, 그 특성을 관찰하였다. 연구 결과 기존 PP/TLCP 블렌드와 비교해 동등 이상의 물성을 보임을 관찰할 수 있었고, 이로서 새로운 저온용 TLCP가 PP의 강화제로 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Polymer composites based on a thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymer (TLCP) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) were prepared using a melt blending process. Polymer composites consisting of bulk cheap polyester with a small quantity of expensive TLCP are of interest from a commercial perspective. The interactions between the PBT chains and the flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) units in the TLCP phase resulted in an improvement in the compatibility of PBT/TLCP composites. TLCP droplets deformed and fragmented into smaller droplets in the PBT/TLCP composites, which resulted in TLCP fibrillation through the effective deformation of the TLCP droplets. The nucleation activities of the PBT/TLCP composites increased by adding even a small amount of the TLCP component.

Thermotropic behavior was observed in a number of aromatic copoly (ester amide)s containing a flexible spacer based on 4,4'$-dicarboxyalpha,\varpi-diphenoxy$ alkanes as an A component, di-acetylated p-aminophenol as a B, di-acetylated hydroquinone as a C gave the thermotropic copoly (ester amide)s containing a flexible spacer in the polymer backbone. 4,4'-diamino-3,3'-dimethoxybiphenyl as an amino group containing monomer as a D components. In the last case, up to 60 mol% of amide group was allowed to afford thermotropic liquid-crystallinity. The polymer structure and thermotropic nature were examined by solid-state and solution $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, polarizing microscopy, and IR spectroscopy.

히드로퀴논과 p-히드록시 벤조산, 그리고 1,6-디브로모헥산을 이용하여 유연한 알킬기를 주사슬에 가지는 열방성 액정 고분자(TLCP)를 얻었다. TLCP의 녹음 전이온도 이상에서 도데실 암모니움-몬모릴로나이트(C$_{12}$-MMT)를 첨가하여 나노복합재료를 만들었다. $C_{12}$-MMT를 TLCP에 대해 1 wt%만 섞어도 액정성은 파괴되었으며, 그 이상의 $C_{12}$-MMT양에 대해서도 마찬가지였다. 첨가된 $C_{12}$-MMT중 일부는 TLCP에 잘 분산되었으나, 일부는 뭉쳐진 형태로 존재하였다. 합성된 나노복합재료의 열적 성질과 몰폴로지는 시차주사 열분석기 (DSC), 열중량 분석기 (TGA), 편광 현미경, 그리고 전자 현미경 (SEM, TEM) 등을 이용하여 분석하였다.다.

The thermal decomposition behavior and degradation characteristics off our different thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs) were studied. The thermal decomposition behavior was determined by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at different heating rates in nitrogen and air. The order of the thermal stability was as follows: multi-aromatic polyester > hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA)/hydroxynaphthoic acid (HNA) copolyester > HNA/hydroxyl acetaniline (HAA)/terephthalic acid (TA) copolyester > HBA/Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) copolyester. The activation energies of the thermal degradation were calculated by four multiple heating rate methods: Flynn-Wall, Friedman, Kissinger, and Kim-Park. The Flynn-Wall and Kim-Park methods were the most suitable methods to calculate the activation energy. Samples were exposed to an accelerated degradation test (ADT), under fixed conditions of heat ($63{\pm}3^{\circ}C$), humidity ($30{\pm}4%$) and Xenon arc radiation ($1.10\;W/m^2$), and the changes in surface morphology and color difference with time were determined. The TLCPs decomposed, discolored and cracked upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

Synthesis and liquid-crystallinites of thermotropic polyamides and copolyamides were investigated. Thermotropic polyamides and copolyamides containing a flexible spacer in the backbone were obtained by the two or three components melt polycondensations of 4,4'-dicarboxy-${\alpha}$${\omega}$-diphenoxy alkane as an A components, 4,4'-diacetoamido-3,3' dimethoxybiphenyl as a B, 1,4-diacetoamido-benzene (diacetylated p-phenylenediamine) was used as another amide-group-forming minomer. The content of the amide groups in the thermotropic polyamide and Copolyamide widely varied depending on the structure of the amide-group forming diacetoamido monomers. A polymer (9CLDI) showed a typical nematic texture between 218$^{circle}C$ ($T_m$) and 345$^{circle}C$($T_i$) The melting points of the members of this series of polymers increased with decreasing methylene spacer. The polymer structure and mesmorphic nature were examined by solid and solution ${^13}C$-NMR spectroscopy, cross polarizing microscopy with a hot stage.

에톡시히드로퀴논과 브로모 테레프탈산을 사용하여 용액 중합법으로 네마틱 액정 상을 가지는 열방성 액정 고분자를 합성하였다. 합성된 헥사데실-몬모릴로나이트 (C$_{16}$-MMT)를 액정고분자의 용융 전이온도 이상에서 매트릭스 고분자에 대해 여러 wt%로 조성을 변화시키면서 나노복합재료를 만들었다. $C_{16}$-MMT가 액정 고분자에 대해 2 wt%만 첨가되어도 열적 성질이 크게 증가하였으며 이후로 $C_{16}$-MMT가 증가함에 따라 일정하게 증가하였다. 유기화 점토가 2에서 6 wt%까지 증가되어도 액정 상은 파괴되지 않고 그대로 유지되었다. X-ray 회절도의 결과, 첨가된 $C_{16}$-MMT의 일부는 TLCP에 잘 분산되었으나, 일부는 뭉쳐진 형태로 존재하였으며 첨가된 $C_{16}$-MMT의 상이 증가할수록 뭉침이 증가되었다. 합성된 나노복합재료의 열적 성질과 몰폴로지는 시차주사 열분석기(DSC), 열중량 분석기(TGA), 편광 현미경, 그리고 전자 현미경(SEM, TEM) 등을 이용하여 분석하였다.다.

The blends of polypropylene (PP) with glass filled thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP-g) have been prepared by melt mixing techniques at different blend ratios. The thermal, dynamic mechanical, crystalline and morphological characteristics of these blends were investigated. Higher percent crystallinity was observed for 10% level of LCP-g in the blend in comparison to that of other blend ratios. The thermal stability increased with LCP-g concentration in the blend with PP. The variation of storage modulus, stiffness and loss modulus as a function of blend ratios suggested the phase inversion at the 50% level of LCP-g in the blend. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs showed the creation of voids and destruction of the fiber structures during the dynamic mechanical measurements. Processing behavior of the blends depended on the fiber forming characteristics of LCP-g, which again varied with the molding temperatures.

Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP)/poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) ternary blends were prepared by melt blending, and were melt-spun to fibers at various spinning speeds in an effort to improve fiber performance and processability. Structure and property relationship of TLCP/PEN/PET ternary blend fibers and effects of annealing on those were investigated. The mechanical properties of ternary blend fibers could be significantly improved by annealing, which were attributed to the development of more ordered crystallites and the formation of more perfect crystalline structures. TLCP/PEN/PET ternary blend fibers that annealed at 18$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, exhibited the highest values of tensile strength and modulus. The double melting behaviors observed in the annealed ternary blend fibers depended on annealing temperature and time, which might be caused by different lamellae thickness distribution as a result of the melting-reorganization process during the DSC scans.
