This study was conducted to prepare acrylic removable protective coatings by emulsion polymerization. Monomers used were n-butyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, butyl methacrylate. Emulsifiers used were sodium lauryl sulfate and polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, which are an anionic emulsifier and a nonionic emulsifier respectively. Potassium persulfate was used as an initiator and polyvinyl alcohol was used as a stabilizer. Emulsion polymerization was carried out in a semi-batch reactor at 70℃ and agitation speed was 200 rpm. Tensile strength, extension, peel strength, viscosity, and solid contents of the synthesized coatings were examined. The coatings prepared with BA:AN = 60:20 (in weight ratio) satisfied the standard for automobile in terms of extension and peel strength. When the concentration of BMA was in a range of 18~23 wt%, the prepared coatings satisfied the standard for automobile in terms of peel strength and water resistance.

In order to improve resistant properties of water-borne acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives(PSAs) for automobiles, this study was carried out. Removable PSAs for automobiles were synthesized by emulsion polymerization of monomers, n-butyl acrylate(BA), n-butyl methacrylate(BMA), acrylonitrile(AN), acrylic acid(AA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(2-HEMA), and AA and 2-HEMA could act as functional monomers for crosslink. Emulsion polymerization was carried out in a semi-batch type reactor. Water resistance, heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance and smoke resistance were examined. As a result, water resistance increased with the amount of BMA, however, the effect of BMA content on the water resistance was insignificant at a range of over 14 wt%. The water resistance also increased with the amount of functional monomers, AA and 2-HEMA. The prepared PSAs satisfied all the standard for automobiles except heat resistance. However, the heat resistance comes nearly up to the standard. Also, acid resistance, alkali resistance and smoke resistance of the prepared PSAs satisfied with the standard.

Removable protective adhesives for automobiles were synthesized by an emulsion polymerization of monomers such as n-butyl acrylate (BA), n-butyl methacrylate (BMA), acrylonitrile (AN), acrylic acid (AA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA), in which AA and 2-HEMA were functional monomers. Potassium persulfate (KPS) was used as an initiator and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was used as an emulsifier, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as a stabilizer. Emulsion polymerization was carried out in a semi-batch type reactor. Tensile strength, extension, peel strength, viscosity and solid content of the synthesized adhesives were tested. The optimum physical properties of the removable protective adhesives for automobiles were obtained with the composition of 0.43 mole BA, 0.57 mole AN, 0.21 mole BMA, 0.03 mole AA, and 0.03 mole 2-HEMA.

High-solid coatings were prepared by blending of previosly synthesized acrylic resins and hexamethylene diisocyanate-trimer and curing it at room temperature. The characterization of the films of the prepared coatings was performed. The impact resistance, cross-hatch adhesion, 60˚specular gloss, and heat resistance of the films proved to be good, and the pencil hardness and drying time proved to be slightly poor. Especially, there was a remarkable improvement in the heat resistance. This improvement may stem from the regular arrangement of ethyl groups introduced into the acrylic resin. As a result of Rigid-body pendulum visco-elasticity measurement, dynamic Tg values of cured films increased with dynamic Tg values.

Dispersion stabilities and photocatalytic activities of rutile powders with unique nano-structure synthesized by homogeneous precipitation process at low temperature(HPPLT) have been investigated in the acrylic resin containing fluorostyrene in the range of mole. Isoelectric point of in the acrylic resin placed in the neutral region whereas that of in the water placed in the acidic region, indicating that zeta potential and agglomeration of powder is strongly dependent on the pH and the type of solvent. To prepare an adhesion, an acrylic resin containing fluorostyrene was synthesized by a radical polymerization. The adhesion of coating layer was increased with increasing fluorostyrene's contents without changing the dispersion stabilities and degrading photocatalytic properties

Film properties of monodispersed model composite latexes with particle size of 190 nm, which consist of n-butyl acrylate as a soft phase monomer and methyl methacrylate as a hard phase monomer with different morphology was examined. Five different types of model latexes were used in this study such as random copolymer particle, soft-core/hard-shell particle, hard-core/soft-shell particle, gradient type particle, and mixed type particle. Tensile strength and tensile elongation at break of final films were evaluated. Those properties can be interpreted in terms of PBA/PMMA phase ratio and their morphology. The interfacial adhesion strength was also evaluated using 180˚ peel strength measurement and cross hatch cutting test.

Acrylic resins (HSCs : EA/EMA/2-HEMA/CLA) which contain 70% solid content were synthesized by the copolymerization of monomers (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, and ethyl methacrylate) and functional monomer (caprolactone acrylate : CLA) which improves the crosslinking density and physical properties of films. The physical properties of the prepared acrylic resins (HSCs) containing CLA, are as follows : viscosity 245~515 cps ; Mn 2670~2840 ; and conversions, 83~91%, respectively. From the correlation of Tg values, viscosities, and Mn of the HSCs, it was found that viscosity and Mn increased with Tg value.

Film forming behavior of monodispersed model composite latexes with particle size of 190 nm, which consist of n-butyl acrylate as a soft phase monomer and methyl methacrylate as a hard phase monomer with different morphology was examined. Five different types of model latexes were used in this study such as random copolymer particle, soft-core/hard-shell particle, hard-core/soft-shell particle, gradient type particle, and mixed type particle. The film forming behavior was evaluated using pseudo on-line measurements of the cumulative weight loss, the UV transmittance, and the tensile fracture energy. Each stages of film formation I, II were not sensitive to the morphology of model latexes, but stage-ill was largely dependent on the morphology of model latexes. The chain mobility of polymer which composed the shell component was found to dominantly determine the behavior of film forming stage-III.

본 연구는 직접메탄을 연료전지(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell)에 적용가능한 양이온교환막 개발에 관한 것으로 poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)에 가교제로 poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic acid) (PAM)와 hydroquinonesulfonic acid (HQSA)를 이용하여 가교제의 함량을 변화시키면서 막을 제조하였다. 제조한 막은 가교제의 함량 변화에 따라 메탄을 투과도, 이온전도도를 측정하였으며 기본적인 이온교환막의 특성인 함수율, 이온교환용량 그리고 고정이온농도 등을 측정하였다. PAM 함량이 증가함에 따라 메탄을 투과도와 이온전도도 및 함수율이 조금 증가하는 추세를 보이다 9 wt%부터 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 이는 PAM의 친수성기보다는 가교효과의 영향이라 사료되며 HQSA 함량을 변화시켰을 때는 이온전도도, 함수율 그리고 이온교환용량이 전반적으로 증가하였는데 그 증가폭은 미비하였다.

Water-soluble cutting fluids are used for processing of aluminium materials. This short article describes properties of new additives of water-soluble cutting fluids for aluminium materials. Various Diels-Alder adducts of unsaturated fatty acids with acrylic acid of maleic anhydride were prepared by thermal reactions. Triethanolamine salts of Diels-Alder adducts of dehydrated castor oil fatty acids with acrylic acid or maleic anhydride showed excellent anti-corrosion property of aluminium materals. These thermal adducts showed anti-rust property for cast-iron chips, too.

The high-solid coatings were prepared by blending the synthesized acrylic resin in the previous paper and hexamethylene diisocyanate-trimer and curing it at room temperature. The characterization of the films of the prepared coatings was performed. The impact resistance, 60℃ specular gloss, cross-hatch adhension, and heat resistance of the films proved to be good, and the pencil hardness and drying time proved to be slightly poor. Especially, there was a remarkable improvement in the heat resistance. This improvement may stem from the regular arrangement of ethyl groups introduced into the acrylic resin. From a viscoelastic measurement using a rigid-body pendulum, curing was accelerated with the Tg value. With the increase in Tg, log damp value was lowered and dynamic viscoelasic Tg of a cured film was increased.

A copolymer 〈HSAs : EA/EMA/2-HEMA/AAEM) which is an acrylic resin containing 70% solid content was synthesized by the reaction of monomers, including ethyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with a functional monomer, such as acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate, which may give improvements in cross-linking density and physical properties of films. The physical properties of prepared acrylic resins, HSA containing AAEM, are as follows : viscosity, 203~550cps ; Mn, 2590~2850 ; and conversion, 82~89%, respectively. It was found from the plotting of Tg versus viscosity and Tg versus molecular weight that viscosity increased with Tg while number averaged molecular weight decreased with increasing Tg.

막소재는 투과증발 막공정에서 메탄을 저항체로 잘 알려진 Poly(vinyl alcohol, PVA)과 술폰기가 있는 가교제 sulfo-succinic acid(SSA)를 PVA에 대해 17 wt.%로 고정시켜 제조하였다. 이에 이온교환능력을 향상시키기 위해 양이온교환기가 포함된 poly(acrylic acid, PAA)를 첨가하여 함량변화에 따라 메탄올투과도 (methanol permeability) 특성과 이온전도도(ion conductivity)를 측정하였으며, 기본적인 이온교환막의 특성인 함수율 (water content), 이온교환용량 (ion exchange capacity, IEC) 등을 측정하였다. PAA함량에 따른 메탄을 투과도와 이온전도도 결과는 SSA만을 사용했을 때 보다 전체적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타났는데 이는 PAA의 함량 증가를 통하여 가교도의 증가로 인한 자유부피감소가 카르복실기인 양이온교환기 도입 영향보다 더 크게 작용한 것으로 판단된다 이온전도도와 메탄올투과도의 결과로부터 'vehicle mechanism'이 본 실험에서 제조된 PVA/SSA/PAA막에서 더 우세한 영향을 미쳤을 것이라 사료된다.

Environmental friendly acrylics/urea high-solid paints (BEHCU) were prepared through the curing reaction of acrylics resin(BEHC) containing 70wt% of solids content and butylated urea curing agent. BEHC was synthesized by addition copolymerization of caprolactone acrylate(CLA), 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate(2-HPMA), ethyl methacrylate, and n-butyl acrylate. The addition polymerization of these monomers, especially including flexible CLA monomer and 2-HPMA monomer with OH funtional group, under appropriate reaction conditions resulted in polymers with controlled glass transition temperature(Tg) and crosslinking density. The molecular weight(Mw) of these polymers(BEHCs) was 2940~3240 and polydispersity (Mw/Mn) was in the range of 1.61~1.72. The viscosity and the molecular weight of these acrylic resins increased with increasing Tg. The coated films were prepared using curing reaction between BEHC resin and butylated urea curing agent at 100℃ for 30 minutes. Our experimental resulted showed that enhancement of the coating properties such as adhesion, flexibility, impact resistance, water resistance, and abrasion resistance could be expected through introducing CLA component in acrylic resin for the high-solid content acrylics/urea coatings.

In order to prepare a softener, alkyl imidazoline salt, fatty carbamide salt, and fatty polyamide salt were synthesized first, and then the synthesized salts were blended. The prepared softeners were applied to acrylic fibers, and then several properties were tested. As a result, the prepared softeners show good softening and lubricating properties, and they also show a little antistatic property. Through bending resistance tests and measurements of feeling change of acrylic fibers treated with the softeners, it was proved that the prepared softeners are durable softeners.

폴리비닐알콜을 고분자계 가교제인 폴리아크릴산-말레산 공중합체를 이용하여 가교제의 농도를 변화시키면서 가교하여 막을 제조하였다. 제조한 막은 FT-IR과 수팽윤도 측정을 통하여 가교반응을 확인하였으며, 가교제 농도 증가에 따라서 수팽윤도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 고분자가교제인 폴리아크릴산-말레산 공중합체로 가교된 폴리비닐알콜 막은 글루탈알데히드로 가교된 폴리비닐알콜이나 변성 폴리비닐알콜 막에 비해서 수팽윤도가 감소하였다. 이는 고분자가교제에 의한 화학적가교와 더불어 물리적인 가교효과가 증가하여 막의 팽윤을 억제하기 때문으로 사료된다. 에탄올수용액에 대한 투과증발실험 결과 가교제의 농도가 증가할수록 선택도는 증가하며, 투과유량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 공급액 중의 물의 농도가 증가할수록 선택도는 약간 감소하나 투과유량은 급격히 증가하고, 공급액 중의 물의 농도가 증가하여도 가소화현상이 나타나지 않는 것을 관찰하였다. 이는 고분자가교제에 의한 팽윤억제 메카니즘이 작용하기 때문으로 사료된다.

Environmental friendly acrylic/urea high-solid paint(MUHC) were prepared through the curing reaction of acrylics resin(EBHC) containing 70wt% of solids content and butylated urea curing agent. The synthesis of EBHC Was done at 150℃ for 6 hours, and the results were obtained as follows : Mn=1830~2190, Mw 3290~4000, Mw/Mn=1.80~1.83 viscosity=110~352 cps, and conversion=82~92%. After the film was coated with MUHC, the various physical properties were measured. They showed that enhancement of the coating properties such as adhesion, flexibility, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and water resistance could be expected through introdl1cing caprolactone acrylate component in acrylics resin for the high-solids content acrylics/urea coatings.
