To prepare very stable acrylic type emulsion having a visible ray absorption property, in-situ preparation technique of CuxS nanoparticle was adopted. Firstly, the acylic emulsions of methyl methacrylate(MMA), butyl acrylate(BA), and acrylonitrile(AN) were synthesized by pre-emulsion polymerization at 60℃ in the presence of anionic surfactant. Secondly, CuxS nanocomposited emulsions were directly prepared in the prepolymerized acrylic emulsion with CuSO4 at 50℃. The presnce of CuxS nanoparticle in emulsion was confirmed by SEM and EDS. The final CuxS nanocomposited emulsion showed an olive-green colour and good emulsion stability up to 1 month. In addition the PET films coated with our CuxS nanocomposited emulsion absorbed effectively the visible ray.

The acrylic coating emulsions were prepared by the emulsion polymerization to protect the surface of steel plate from the corrosion chemicals like acid, base and salt water. MMA(methyl methacrylate), styrene, BA(butyl acrylate), and 2-HEMA(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) were used as monomer. KPS(potassium persulfate) and SBS(sodium bisulfite) as redox initiator and SDBS(sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate) as emulsifier were used on the emulsion polymerization reaction. The most stable in-situ coating was obtained when 10% of MMA was added. Both particle size and quantity in emulsion were decreased as increasing the mount of SDBS. the most stable prepared coating emulsion with polyisocyanate crosslinker showed very high anticorrosion properties on the coated steel layer to salt water, whereas no significant improvement of anticorrosion property to acdic and basic condition it showed.

To developed new process for obtaining maximum molecular weight of anionic acrylamide and acrylic acid copolymer by inverse emulsion polymerization. Concentration of initiator, reducing agent, surfactant and mole ratio of acrylamide-acrylic acid were studied for the process. Semi-batch processes with method of redox, control of reaction temperature, feeding method of monomer and reaction time, was suitable for maximum molecular weight of P(AMAC) from this process obtained 3.09 × 106(Mn.) and 4.41 × 106(Mw.) in molecular weight measured by the intrinsic viscosity method. inverse emulsion polymerization mechanism of P(AMAC) does not followed the Smith-Ewart and Medvedev theory, but selected for concentration of initiator, reducing agent, surfactant, water solubility of monomer.

The purpose of this study is to develop eco-friendly finishing materials of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using lightweight aggregate carrier which contains pyroligneous liquid. Four types of light-weight aggregate carriers such as perlite, vermiculite, charcoal and zeolite are selected. The acrylic emulsion-modified mortars are prepared with light-weight carrier replacements to dolomite of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20%, and tested for flowability, adhesion in tension, water absorption coefficient and antibiosis. As a result, the flowability of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using zeolite light-weight is improved with increasing light-weight carrier content. The adhesion in tension of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using lightweight carrier is satisfied with KS requirement. Especially, the adhesion in tension of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using light-weight aggregate carrier at a high temperature of 40oC are better than the low temperatures of 0oC and 20oC. The water absorption coefficient of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using light-weight aggregate carriers is increased with increasing light-weight carrier content. However, the water absorption coefficient is satisfied with KS requirement. The antibiosis of acrylic emulsion-modified mortars using zeolite light-weight carrier is remarkably improved with increasing light-weight carrier content.

The development of functional finishes for the improvement of indoor air quality is one of important issues in the fieldof building materials. Indoor air quality can be affected by gases, particulates, microbial contaminants or any mass thatcan induce adverse health conditions. The purpose of this study is to develop eco-friendly internal material of acrylicemulsion mortars using light-weight aggregate carrier which contains pyroligneous liquid. Four types of light-weightaggregates (perlite, vermiculite, charcoal and zeolite) those are functionally used in interior finishing materials are selectedand the properties such as flowability, adhesion, water absorption coefficient, crack and impact resistance are evaluatedin accordance with KS F 4715. As a result, the properties of acrylic emulsion mortars using light-weight carrier in thisstudy are satisfied with KS requirements. Among the four types of mortars with light-weight carrier, properties of acrylicemulsion mortars using zeolite carrier is more excellent than those of other light-weight carriers.
