본 연구에서는 실리카/카본블랙 혼합사용과 카본블랙 단독 사용의 경우 상온 또는 고온에서의 인장강도(modulus) 및 인열저항성, 내cutting성, 내crack성을 비교 평가하였다. 실리카와 카본블랙의 함량비 및 단계배합 방법을 통해 NR 가황물을 제조하였으며, 충전제의 함량은 60phr로 고정하였고, semi-EV 가황시스템을 적용하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실리카의 분산은 25phr이하일 때 양호하였으며, 실리카/카본블랙의 함량비가 25/35인 경우 인열에너지, 내crack특성, 내cutting특성이 가장 우수하였다. 충전제로써 카본블랙 단독사용과 실리카/카본블랙(25/35) 혼합사용의 경우를 비교해 보면, 열화에 따른 modulus 및 인장강도, 인열에너지는 실리카/카본블랙(25/35)을 사용한 시편이 더 낮은 감소율을 나타내었다. Cutting특성에서는 카본블랙 단독 사용보다는 실리카/카본블랙(25/35) 혼합사용의 경우가 더 높은 cutting 저항성을 나타내었다. 내crack 특성 또한 실리카/카본블랙(25/35)을 혼합사용한 경우가 온도에 따른 더 높은 변형에너지 완화율(Gp)에도 불구하고 더 낮은 크랙성장속도를 나타내었다.

The intention of this study is to investigate the properties of polymer blend, NBR/PVC vulcanizates and blending procedures such as roll-mixing temperatures and sequences for polymer blending of NBR and PVC(resin type). The results obtained are as follows: 1. The roll temperature applied for polymer blending is around $150^{\circ}C$. At this temperature region, the degradation of rubber stock, which may be caused by heat, can be minimized and mill processing in practical application in industries can also be facilitated. 2. It is obviously necessary that a small amount of plasticizers should be added to the stock for improving processibility of roll mixing and physical properties. 3. On roll-mixing sequence, it is more effective that PVC compounded with plasticizer is added to NBR milled on hot roll. 4. The vulcanizates of the blends with different degree of polymerization of PVC ale similar to one another in properties. 5. NBR/PVC(70/30) blends shows the better physical characters than eve,-made foreign latex blend except abrasion-resistance. 6. As PVC addition ratio is increased, the physical properties such as resistance to ozone, tear, heat and oil and tensile strength, modulus, hardness have also improved, on the other hand, tension set and rebound character decreased. 7. The curve of ultimate elongation have point of inflection at the ratio of $30\sim40$ part of PVC. 8. While CR is blended, the physical properties such as brittle point, rebound and resistance to oil in high temperature have improved. 9. Polymer blend of NBR and domestic PVC is applied for the industrial utility such as rubber sole and heel, electric wire cover and oil-resistant packing, coating and gasket, printing roll, film for food packing etc.

전기차의 수요 및 보급이 확대됨에 따라 차량 내 이음(buzz, squeak, rattle, BSR) 개선에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 이에 풍절음, 도어 글라스 및 차량 진동을 차단하는 인너벨트 웨더스트립(innerbelt weatherstrip)의 댐핑(damping) 특성 향상을 통해 BSR을 저감하는 기술 개발이 필수적이다. 기존 열경화성(thermoset) 탄성체 대비 가볍고 재활용이 가능한 열가소성(thermoplastic) 탄성체가 주목을 받고 있지만 낮은 소재 댐핑과 영구압축줄음률(compression set)로 인해 도어 글라스와 웨더스트립 간 마찰 소음을 발생하는 문제가 있다. 고분자 댐핑 특성은 점탄성(viscoelastic)에 좌우되므로, 본 연구에서는 인너벨트 웨더스트립과 도어 글라스 간 마찰 소음을 개선하기 위해 EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer)/PP (polypropylene) thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV)의 재료설계인자(EPDM/PP 비율, EPDM 내 ENB 함량)에 따른 점탄성 분석을 통해 소재 댐핑 특성을 평가하였다. EPDM/PP 비율에 따른 분석을 통해 PP 비율이 낮을수록 소재가 연화되고, 탄성회복력(resilience)이 증가하여 저장탄성률(storage modulus)은 10.8% 감소하고 댐핑 특성을 의미하는 감쇠계수(tanδ)는 88.2% 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 EPDM 내 ENB 함량이 높을수록 소재의 가교밀도(crosslink density)가 증가하지만, 동적가교(dynamic vulcanizate) 과정 중 PP에 분산된 EPDM particle의 크기가 감소한다. 이로 인해 증가된 EPDM/PP 계면 간 면적 증가로 인해 계면 미끄러짐에서 기인한 손실탄성률(loss modulus)이 24.7% 증가하여 댐핑 특성이 향상되었다. 재료설계인자에 따른 물성분석을 바탕으로 최적 소재(낮은 PP 비율(14 wt%), 높은 ENB 함량 (8.9 wt%))를 배합한 결과 소재 댐핑 특성(tanδ peak)은 기존 소재(PP27, EPDM/PP 30/27, ENB content 5.7 wt%) 대비 140% 증가하여 재료설계인자에 따라 댐핑 특성을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 설계된 소재의 글라스 마찰 소음 개선 효과를 확인하기 위해 stick-slip 시험을 통해 마찰 소음을 평가하였다. 소재 댐핑 특성이 향상됨에 따라 마찰 진동의 가속도 peak가 약 57.9% 감소하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 재료설계인자에 따른 소재 댐핑 특성 향상을 통해 인너벨트 웨더스트립의 글라스 마찰 소음을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 향후 소재 재료설계인자에 따른 물성 제어를 통해 부품의 요구 성능에 맞는 다양한 재료설계에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Thermoplastic elastomer(TPE) has many advantages such as high flexibility, high elasticity and high elongation, etc. TPE is easily molded as plastic materials, therefore, many TPE parts are applied as home appliances and mechanical parts. However, its mechanical properties would be changed by injection molding conditions such as melt temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure and holding pressure, etc. In this study, the influences of the injection molding condition on the mechanical properties as tensile strength, hardness of thermoplastic vulcanizates(TPVs), which is one of the TPE, were investigated. By the injection molding experiment, the molding's tensile strength and hardness was influenced on the melt temperature and composition ratio of PP and EPDM. The morphology of moldings were shown by the scanning electron microscope.

A premixing effect for the properties of carbon black-filled rubber compounds was investigated using biblends of natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and butadiene rubber (BR). Degree of mixing of the biblends was controlled by preblending time of 0.0, 2.5, and 5.0 min. Mooney viscosities of the compounds decreased by increasing the preblending time. Of three carbon black-filled compounds of NR/SBR, NR/BR, and SBR/BR compounds, only the SBR/BR blends showed a specific cure characteristics depending on the preblending time. For the bound rubber composition, the NR content was higher than SBR and BR. The difference in the rubber composition ratio of the bound rubber became smaller with increasing the preblending time. Physical properties of the vulcanizates such as hardness, modulus, tensile property, abrasion loss, and tans were also compared. Differences in properties of the compounds were discussed with miscibility of the dissimilar rubbers and degree of mixing.

A Zn ion-coated nanosilica filler has been developed and tested, in chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) and polychloroprene (CR), as a vulcanizing activator, cum was reinforcing filler. In this study, ZnO was replaced by the Zn ion-coated nanosilica filler with an aim of studying the dual role of this nanofiller in CSPE and CR. In the case of CSPE vulcanizates, the presence of MgO deteriorated the state and rate of cure when the Zn ion-coated nanosilica filler was used, but in the case of CR it improved the state of cure and enhanced the modulus and tensile strength. The Zn ion-coated filler proved to be a better reinforcing-cum-curing agent than was externally added ZnO and NA-22 also proved to be a better curative in the presence of the Zn ion-coated nanosilica filler for both CSPE and CR.

이 연구의 목적은 카본블랙이 충전된 천연고무에서 비 등방성 발생에 영향을 주는 인자를 조사하기 위함이다. 고분자 사슬의 방향성은 인장특성에 영향을 준다. Pre-strained 방향의 parallel 시편은 등방성 혹은 perpendicular 시편에 비하여 낮은 인장영역에서 낮은 강도를 보이지만 높은 신장영역에서 높은 강도를 보인다. 고 인장 영역에서 parallel한 천연고무 시편은 비결정성인 SBR에 비하여 높은 강도를 보여주고 있다. 이것은 parallel 시편의 방향성에 영향을 받는 것으로, 시편의 방향성은 2차 인장시 결정화를 위한 핵으로 작용하여 결정화도를 증가시키는 것으로 보인다.

In vulcanizates of NR/SBR blending compounds, the physical properties decrease as the contents of SBR increase for the most part. but the abrasives showed reverse performance. However, since these conditions enough satisfy the requirements of tread, carcass and sidewall of tire, we found it was possible to take use of the quantity of SBR contained high on tire manufacturing.

Natural rubber was filled with 8 commercial carbon blacks covering range of rubber-grade products at different levels of filler loadings in order to investigate physical compound and vulcanizate properties. It was found that the curves of rubber property vs filler loading of both uncured compounds and vulcanizates can be superposed to one single master curve by introducing an effective volume fraction which is based on CDBP. The effective volume fraction, $V_{EFF}$ was utilized to explain the variation of the stiffness of all rubber compounds. The surface area-corrected effective volume fraction, V', was utilized to explain the formation of bound rubber, rebound and lambourn wear.

In order to examine correlation between silane coupling agent and activator which affects the physical properties of silica filled natural rubber compound, such as heat buildup, rebound property, dynamic mechanical and morphological properties were measured. With incorporation of silane coupling agent, $tan{\delta}$ at $0^{\circ}C$ was increased and at $60^{\circ}C$ was decreased, which resulted in improving of wet grip and rolling resistance. When silane coupling agent which is corresponding to 8~10% of silica was used, most favorable heat build up and $tan{\delta}$ was obtained. And also when activator was used, dispersibility of silica was improved as a result of reduction of reaggregation of silica.
