A combination of Polycarbonate (PC) material and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), fabricated using an injection molding machine, has been investigated to determine its advantages, as studied in Ref. 1). This paper aims to investigate the optimization of PMMA/PC blend for both tensile yield strength and impact strength. Furthermore, interaction effects of process conditions on mechanical properties including tensile yield strength and impact strength of PMMA/PC blend by injection molding process are interpreted in this study. Tensile and impact specimens are designed following ASTM, type V, and are fabricated by injection molding process. The processing conditions such as melt temperature, mold temperature, packing pressure, and cooling time are applied; each factor has three levels. As a result, in comparison with optimization of separated responses, mechanical properties of PMMA/PC are found to decrease when optimizing both tensile and impact strengths simultaneously. The melt temperature is found to be the most significant interaction parameter with the mold temperature and packing pressure. In addition, there is more interaction between the mold temperature and cooling time. This investigation provides a useful understanding of the control of injection molding processing of polymer blends in optical application.

Effects of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) type and flow type (shear and elongational flow) on the electrical conductivity of polycarbonate (PC)/MWCNT nanocomposites were investigated. Two different MWCNTs produced a huge difference in electrical conductivity in an injection molded PC/MWCNT nanocomposite. It was observed that MWCNTs having a higher aspect ratio provide much lower electrical conductivity in injection molded PC/MWCNT nanocomposites while the conductivities of compression molded samples from two different MWCNTs were the same. We found that this is due to a difference in the deformability of the two MWCNTs. Nanocomposite samples prepared at a higher extensional rate and shear rate showed lower electrical conductivity. This is attributed to flow induced orientation of the MWCNTs. The experimental results were discussed in relation to variation in the tube–tube contact due to the change of the MWCNT orientation.

최근 분리, 흡착과 같은 물리적인 수처리 공정이 중요해졌고, 본 연구에서는 Track-etched polycarbonate(PC) membrane이 친수성이며 균일한 기공크기를 가지고 기계적강도가 우수하다는 점을 이용하여 하전 된 균일한 크기의 나노입자를 포함한 콜로이드 용액의 제거능력에 대해 조사하여 분리특성을 파악하였다. 유화중합을 이용하여 양전하, 음전하로 각각 하전 된 균일하며 착색된 나노입자(70 ~200nm)를 다양한 조건으로 제조하고, SEM, DSC, FT-IR 및 제타 전위를 측정하여 라텍스의 특성을 파악하였다. 또, PC membrane의 표면전하 및 기공크기와 입자의 표면전하 및 입자크기에 따른 수투과도 및 배제율을 조사하였다.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polycarbonate (PC) nanocomposite was prepared by direct melt mixing to investigate the effect of the shear rate on the surface resistivity of the nanocomposites. In this study, an experiment was carried out to observe the shear induced orientation of the MWCNT in the polymer matrix using a very simple melt flow indexer with various loads. The compression-molded, should be eliminated. MWCNT/PC nanocomposite sample exhibited lower percolation thresholds (at 0.8 vol%) and higher electrical conductivity values than those of samples extruded by capillary and injection molding. Shear induced orientation of MWCNT was observed via scanning electron microscopy, in the direction of flow in a PC matrix during the extrusion process. The surface resistivity rose with increasing shear rate, because of the breakdown of the network junctions between MWCNTs. For real applications such as injection molding and the extrusion process, the amount of the MWCNT in the composite should be carefully selected to adjust the electrical conductivity.

We report on the capacitively coupled O2 plasma etching of PMMA and polycarbonate (PC) with a diffusion pump. Plasma process variables were process pressure and CCP power at 5 sccm O2 gas flow rate. Characterization was done in order to analyze etch rate, etch selectivity, surface roughness, and morphology using stylus surface profilometry and scanning electron microscopy. Self bias decreased with increase of process pressure in the range of 25~180 mTorr. We found an important result for optimum pressure for the highest etch rate of PMMA and PC, which was 60 mTorr. PMMA and PC had etch rates of 0.46 and 0.28 μm/min under pressure conditions, respectively. More specifically, etch rates of the materials increased when the pressure changed from 25 mTorr to 60 mTorr. However, they reduced when the pressure increased further after 60 mTorr. RMS roughnesses of the etched surfaces were in the range of 2.2~2.9 nm. Etch selectivity of PMMA to a photoresist was ~1.5:1 and that of PC was ~0.9:1. Etch rate constant was about 0.04 μm/minW and 0.02 μm/minW for PMMA and PC, respectively, with the CCP power change at 5 sccm O2 and 40 mTorr process pressure. PC had more erosion on the etched sidewall than PMMA did. The OES data showed that the intensity of the oxygen atomic peak (777.196 nm) proportionally increased with the CCP power.

지구 부존자원의 채굴량 한계, 산업규모의 증가 등으로 인해 수요에 비해 공급량 부족 현상이 발생할 것으로 예상됨에 따라 이미 사용수명이 다한 폐기물로부터 유효한 자원을 다시 회수하는 재활용 이슈가 부각되고 있다. 특히, 근대화된 도시로부터 발생하는 폐기물은 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있으며, 이 중 자동차와 더불어 전자제품은 주요 ‘도시광산’으로써 중요성이 점점 증가하고 있다. 우리나라는 지난해(2016년) 약 25만 톤의 폐전자제품(냉장고, 세탁기, TV, 에어컨, 휴대폰 등)을 회수하였으며, 정책 및 제도의 개선으로 해마다 회수율은 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이들 폐전자제품에서 모터, 고철, 비철금속 등은 재사용 및 재활용되고 있지만, 대부분의 합성수지는 압축 처리되어 매립 및 소각되고 있다. 고체 산업폐기물은 소각하여 감용화하고 매립하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 폐플라스틱의 소각과 매립은 경제적인 손실뿐만 아니라 환경오염의 거시적인 원인이 되고 있다. 폐플라스틱의 소각에 의한 처리는 일부 열에너지를 이용할 수 있지만 많은 경제적인 손실을 초래하고, 염화수소에 의한 소각로의 부식과 다이옥신 등 각종 유독성 가스를 방출하여 환경문제를 유발할 수 있다. 또한 플라스틱의 매립은 매립 부지의 확보문제뿐만 아니라 유해성분이 용출될 수 있으며, 단위 무게에 비해 부피가 커 매립효율을 저하시키고, 물리･화학적으로 안정되어 있는 난분해성이라 매립지의 조기 안정화와 흙 속에 반영구적으로 잔존하는 문제가 발생한다. 그리고 분해 시 토양오염 및 유해가스를 대기 중에 발생하는 등 여러 가지 문제를 야기 시킨다. 따라서 플라스틱 산업 및 환경보호를 위해서는 재활용 기술개발이 시급히 이루어져야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 전자제품의 재활용율 향상을 위해 전자제품에서 발생하는 폐플라스틱을 대상으로 재질분리 연구를 수행하였다. 비중선별 및 정전선별 연구를 수행하였으며, 다양한 조건 변화를 통해 최적 분리조건 및 분리효율을 규명하여 대상 시료의 분리 가능성을 확인하였다.
