Polychloroprene(CR) is well known as elastomer commonly utilized in the electrical. It is mainly used for cable jacket and insulator. The irradiation degradation property of polymer materials is very important to prevent unexpected accidents in the Nuclear Power Plant(NPP). The irradiation degradation is caused by the oxidation of polymer materials, and this oxidation is occurred by oxygen radical produced from air. In this study, we evaluate the oxidation properties of CR. CR is irradiated for 200, 400, 600, 1000 kGy radiation dose. The oxidation properties of irradiated CR are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical properties and FT-IR/ATR. Glass transition temperature(Tg), decomposition onset temperature(DOT), loss modulus and mechanical tan $\delta$ values are compared together. The irradiation limit of CR in the NPP, is known for 500 kGy, and this is exactly matched with investigated results.

The effect of triazine thiol derivative on the physical properties of silica-polychloroprene(CR) composites and glass fiber(MGF)-CR composites was investigated. Optimum cure time of the MGF composites filled with 2-dibuthylamino-4, 6-dithiol-s-triazine(DBT) was the fastest one, while maximum torque was the best in case of the silica composites filled with s-triazine-2,4,6-trithiol(TAT) on the Oscillating Disk Rheometer(ODR) test. Stress-strain curves of the composites showed that the physical properties such as 100% modulus, 300% modulus, tensile strength of the silica composites filled with DBT was very satisfactory and the silica composites filled with TAT was higher density of crosslinking than other crosslinked elastomer. In aging properties, elastomer filled DBT and TAT were progress post-curing reaction with increasing of aging time and it have been improved the tensile strength and crosslinking density.

Polychloroprene rubber was moisture-cured after treating them with silane coupling agents such as 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane(MPS), 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane(MAS) and vinyltriethoxysilane(VES), especially MPS. The cure reaction is composed of two steps. The first is the reaction between chlorine atoms of CR and silane coupling agents. The second is the formation of cross-links which are siloxane linkage. The linkage is formed by the condensation of silanol groups which are produced by the hydrolysis of alkoxysilyl groups. The first reaction was kinetically studied and the reactivity of CR to silane coupling agents was determined in previous literature. Crosslinking density and mechanical properties of the moisture-cured elastomer filled with silica or non-filled were studied and the feasibility of this cure system was discussed.

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.

This study was carried out to analyze the ultrasonic properties of sound board which was glued with various adhesives and to evaluate which adhesive is the best for the acoustic radiation of the musical instrument. The results are as follows: 1. Animal glue is the best adhesive for the sound board with respect to the acoustic radiation ratio of the musical instruments. Epoxy resin and polyvinyl acetate resin are the next group, urea formaldehyde resin and Hot melt are the third group, polychloroprene(CR) resin is the lowest. 2. Epoxy resin, animal glue and Titebond(PVA) give the highest shear strength and the highest wood failure relatively Hot melt and polychloroprene(CR) resin do not meet the standard because of low wood failure.

Aliphatic hydrocarbon gases from rubber pyrolysis have been identified by gas chromatography with tetraethyleneglycol dimethylether column. Rubbers used in this work are polyisoprene, SBR, NBR, polybutadiene, buthyl rubber, polychloroprene and polyurethane rubber. The chromatogram is characteristic for each polymer. Author proposes a method of identification of synthetic rubbers by gas chromatograph of pyrolyzed gas. Sample is pyrolyzed at $450^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen or more effectively helium and gaseous portion, which eliminated liquid condensate, is passed to the column. The appearance of exclusively large peak of isoprene, isobutylene and carbon dioxide shows the presence of polyisoprene, polyisobutylene and polyurethane, respectively. Large peak of butadiene will appear in case of polybutadiene, SBR and NBR, but SBR can be identified through the styrene peak in gas chromatogram of liquid pyrolyzate and NBR can be identified by the evolution of hydrogen cyanide during pyrolysis. Polychloroprene is identified by the evolution of hydrogen chloride. This method could be applied to the identification of copolymer or polymer blend.

고분자 재료는 일반적으로 전기적인 특성이 우수하고 가격이 저렴하기 때문에 케이블이나 wire의 절연재료로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 합성 고분자 물질은 대부분 유기 화합물로서 가연성을 지니고 있으며 작은 화재에서도 화염을 확산시켜서 경제적으로 막대한 손실을 유발할 수도 있으므로, 전기절연용 재료로 사용되는 합성 고분자 물질은 그 자체의 전기적 특성이 우수해야 할 뿐만 아니라 난연성을 부여할 필요할 필요가 있다.(중략)

This study focused on experiments with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), which are functional additives for water-expandable rubber. Polychloroprene rubber (CR)/superabsorbent polymer (SAP) composites were prepared and their cure behaviors, mechanical properties, water absorption rates, and surface morphology were measured based on the functional additives applied. When PEG and GMA were applied to the composites, the water absorption rate increased-including the initial rate-compared to that measured when functional additives were not used. The results also show that PEG has a hydrophilic functional group, which allows it to absorb more water, and GMA acts as a coupling agent between CR and SAP. However, with the introduction of functional additives, the cure rate slowed down and the mechanical properties also decreased.

Automobile industry, along with the automobile steering system, is rapidly changing and developing. The constant velocity joint transmits power to the wheels of vehicles without changing their angular velocity based on the movement of the steering wheel. Moreover, it controls their movement to act as a buffer. In order to prevent the excessive increase in temperature caused by the movement of vehicles, boots are attached to the constant velocity joint and lubricant is injected into the boots. The boots maintain the lubrication and protect the constant velocity joint from sand, water, and so on. As the wheels of the vehicle rotate, the boots are acted upon by forces such as bending, compression, and tension. Additionally, self-contact occurs to boots. Therefore, their durability deteriorates over time. To prevent this problem, polychloroprene rubber was initially used however, it was replaced by thermoplastic polyester elastomers due to their excellent fatigue durability. In this study, the structural analysis of boots was conducted. The results showed the deformation patterns of the boots based on the translation and rotation of the constant velocity joint. Moreover, it confirmed the location that was vulnerable to deformation. This study can be used to potentially design high-quality constant velocity joint boots.
