This paper attempted to investigate the temperature characteristics and electrical conduction when low density polyethylene is irradiated. It was found that the log $\rho$ versus 1/T in irradiated polyethylene specimen resulted in different characteristics when it was heated upto above the melting point from when it was heated at the beginning stage. It was also found that the relation between the temperature and volume resistivity represented jumping phenomenon and that crystallization by thermal change was closely related to the fusion of crystalline region.

The pseudolattice calculations in the CNDO/2 level of approximation are carried out for polymeric beryllium hydride, polyethylene and polymeric boron hydride. Since there is no evidence on the geometry for polymeric boron hydride, the two possible geometries are assumed. One is a polyethylene-type geometry and the other is a polymeric beryllium hydride-type geometry. In order to compare their relative stability, we calculate polyethylene and polymeric beryllium hydride and then compare with polymeric boron hydride having the assumed structures. The total energy calculation indicates that a polymeric beryllium bydride-type geometry is more stable than a polyethylene-type geometry. Our results obtained for polyethylene are in good agreement with those given by CNDO/2 crystal orbital. From the convergence problem with respect to the number of unit cells (M), the calculation with value of 4 for M can be considered to give the convergence limit results.

This study was carried out to obtain basic data for technical inprovement about cultivation according to micrometerological changes under various mulching materials in Dendropanox morbifera LEV. The results are summarized as follows. Transparent polyethylene film and black polyethylene film mulching materials increased the soil porosity and reduced change of the soil moisture content. The rate of missing plant during overwinter increased in the control plot. Growth of Dendropanox morbifera LEV, was accelerated by transparent polyethylene film and black polyethylene film mulched.

In case of a semi-forcing culture for vegetable perilla, the following research results on the effect of black polyethylene mulching, the optimum sowing season, and the seedling stand improvement method were drawn. Soil temperature was higher and the emergence was faster in a black polyethylene mulching culture than in a non-mulching culture. However, the mature was late, the main stem were larger, and the seed yield, as well as the leaf yield, was greater in a mulching culture than in a non-mulching culture. Considering growth and chilling injury, the stable sowing season of vegetable perilla was judged to be the early in January. The covering materials for improvement of the seedling stand can be a non-woven fabric and hyaline polyethylene. However, the non-woven fabric seemed to be quite suitable in view of the stability and convenience of control after the emergence of perilla.

The aggregate out of waste polyethylene was made in order to recycle waste polyethylene wasted in the country side. Many physical and mechanical experiments which include leaching test, specific gravity test, compaction test, LA abrasion test, large-scaled shear test, and permeability test were performed for the waste polyethylene aggregate. The thermal conductivity test, unfrozen water content test and frost heave test were also performed. The temperature distribution for both gravels and waste polyethylene aggregate, which were constructed in the frost heave layer in the field, was measured in winter season of continuous 2 years and compared.

It is known that the relative dielectric constant of insulating polyethylene matrix composites with conducting materials (such as carbon black and metal powder) increases as the conducting material content increases below the percolation threshold. Below the percolation threshold, dielectric properties show an ohmic behavior and their value is almost the same as that of the matrix. The change is very small, but its origin is not clear. In this paper, the dielectric properties of carbon black-filled polyethylene matrix composites are studied based on the effect medium approximation theory. Although there is a significant amount of literature on the calculation based on the theory of changing the parameters, an overall discussion taking into account the theory is required in order to explain the dielectric properties of the composites. Changes of dielectric properties and the temperature dependence of dielectric properties of the composites made of carbon particle and polyethylene below the percolation threshold for the volume fraction of carbon black have been discussed based on the theory. Above the percolation threshold, the composites are satisfied with the universal law of conductivity, whereas below the percolation threshold, they give the critical exponent of s = 1 for dielectric constant. The rate at which the percentages of both the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss factor for temperature increases with more volume fraction below the percolation threshold.

Biological treatment using the activated sludge method and biofilm process has been developed for paper wastewater treatment. It is known that a water treatment using biofilm process has a high efficiency be-cause a great deal of microorganism could adhere to media. It is also known that various plastics such as polyurethane and polyethylene have been used as the media. In this study polyethylene was used as a media and rice straw an additive agent to improve porous and hydrophilic properties of the media for waste water treatment. Porosity and hydrophilic characteristics of polyethylene was increased as rice straw was added to polyethylene. Paper wastewater was then treated with newly developed environment materials. Rice straw showed excellent results in waste water treatment in various media. This environmentally friendly material prepared by polyethylene and rice straw could show similar results to those of a commercial porous polyurethane foam in wastewater treatment.

This study was carried out to obtain basic information on cultivation of Curcuma longa L. in southern part of Korea. The results were summaried as follows. Mulching of both transparent polyethylene film and black polyethylene film improved the soil characters such as soil porosity and soil moisture content. The rate of emergency after winter was increased by mulching. Growth of Curcuma longa L. was accelerated by mulching of transparent polyethylene film and black polyethylene film mulched.

Oxidized polyethylene wax is obtained by oxidation of polyethylene wax and it is composed of various chemicals, e.g., fatty acid, alcohol, ketone and ester. The application of oxidized polyethylene wax is determined by the composition of these chemical substances. In this basic study we observed the basic reaction parameters of time, temperature, oxygen concentration and catalysts on the oxidation reaction of low molecular weight polyethylene(PE wax) by analyzing the acid value, physical and chemical properties of oxidized PE wax to develop a new oxidation process. Acid values are increased with temperature increase in the rage of $150^{\circ}C^{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ but decreased beyond 190$^{\circ}C$. Acid values are also increased with oxygen concentration. As the oxidation reaction proceeds the molecular weight and softening points of oxidation products are decreased by cracking reaction, but the viscosities are increased. To observe the crystallinity of oxidation products SEM experiment was performed. To obtain a high acid-value product in a mild condition, we adopted free radical catalysts and the acid value of the product using catalyst was higher than the product obtained without catalyst in the same reaction condition. The effective initiators were dicumyl peroxide(DCPO), t-butylperoxy-2-ethyl hexanoate(HOPO) and benzoyl peroxide(BPO) having long half-life.

In this study, we have studied the polymerization of polyethylene wax using metallocene catalysts and its physical properties. Various polymerization conditions were tried for polymerization of polyethylene wax. We have evaluated hydrogen reactivity and studied on characteristics of polymerization effected by ligand structure of metallocene catalysts against Ziegler-Natta catalysts which are widely used for polymerization of polyethylene. We have also checked hydrogen used for chain transfer agent, molecular weight change and distribution by different ratios of ethylene gas. Finally, we suggest proper structure of metallocene catalysts for polymerization of polyethylene wax.
