  • Patent number: 10100161
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a polyamide-based polymer composition with superior fluidity and a polyamide-based composite material with superior mechanical strength prepared therefrom. More specifically, it relates to a polyamide-based polymer composition containing 0.1-5 parts by weight of dicyclohexylmethane bisdecanoamide, which is a cyclic compound, as a fluidity control agent based on 100 parts by weight of a mixture consisting of 20-90 wt % of a polyamide-based resin and 10-80 wt % of a reinforcing fiber, a polyamide-based composite material prepared using the same, and a method for preparing the same. The polymer composition according to the present disclosure, wherein dicyclohexylmethane bisdecanoamide is used as a fluidity control agent, provides an effect of reducing friction between a molten resin and a processing machine and greatly reducing torque by effectively dispersing a reinforcing fiber in a polyamide-based resin.

  • Patent number: 9691520
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing polymer-nanoparticles having a core-shell structure by uniformly coating a polymer on metal and inorganic particles, polymer-nanoparticles prepared thereby, and a polymer-nanoparticle composite comprising the same, and more specifically, a method for preparing polymer-nanoparticles having a core-shell structure by uniformly coating a polymer on metal and inorganic particles, polymer-nanoparticles prepared thereby, and a polymer-nanoparticle composite including the same, wherein when forming a polymer coating layer on surfaces of particles that are not subjected to separate surface treatment, excessive polymers uncoated on nanoparticles are easily removed by adding to an ionic liquid or an apolar solvent so that the polymer coating layer is formed with a nanometer-scale uniform thickness and a dense coating density, thereby showing excellent dispersibility in a polymer matrix.

  • Publication number: 20120115050
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for in-situ preparation of a polybenzimidazole-based electrolyte membrane, including: polymerizing a polybenzimidazole polymer in a solution; casting a solution containing the polymerized polymer onto a substrate and drying the solution in air to form a membrane; washing the dried membrane with water or alcohol; and allowing water or alcohol to evaporate from the membrane containing water or alcohol, while maintaining the shape of the membrane. The method for in-situ preparation of a polybenzimidazole-based electrolyte membrane allows easy preparation of a polybenzimidazole-based electrolyte membrane having a desired area without any complicated processes, and thus contributes to simplification of an overall process for fabricating a fuel cell.
