Overview
Overview
Recently, chemical engineering industry faces several key global trends. One of hot trends is environmental issue induced from plastic pollution. With sustainable action of UN and EU, global plastic manufacturers also participate in introduction of the circular economy concept to minimize the environmental impact of plastics. Therefore, sustainable and easy recycling materials and effective recycling system would be a key driver in this endless competition era. In addition, there would be governmental, industrial, and academic demands for professional chemical engineer having a new perspective for problem solving in global issue.
Our research focuses on following topics based on polymers
Novel Processing Technology
Novel Processing Technology
Novel processing technology called ‘controlled resistance time’ during melt compounding. With this technique, polypropylene based composites was designed for lightweight & conductive materials with binary fillers. We found the better dispersion of fillers in the polymer matrix than conventional processing technique. We believe this finding could open the opportunity to design the multifunctional composite for various applications
The hollow glass microsphere (HGMs) was used as a ball to create the ball mill crush force in the extruder to achieve better dispersion of nanoclay in the polymer matrix, and we could observe the same intercalation effect as compared to conventional nanocomposites using a compatibilizer
Polylactic Acid Based Materials Design
Polylactic Acid Based Materials Design
Design the composite with flexibility and high barrier property based on sustainable Poly(lactic acid)(PLA). To use vapor pressure to disperse additives, a solution evaporation method was developed during melt compounding process. Fully bio-based composites has been obtained, and the reduced tensile strength of plasticized PLA is significantly improved by the uniform dispersion of CNF, and the elongation value was more than 300% with addition of only 1 wt% of CNF
Structure Control Composite Material Design
Structure Control Composite Material Design
The cryogenic grinding technique is employed to produce the composites having different morphology and structure development for obtaining balanced property
