The Comparison between Silica and Carbon Black Loaded Compounds as a Tire Tread in terms of Time-Temperature Superposition of Loss Tangent
Shear storage modulus (G') and loss tangent (tanƒÂ) were measured carefully at low strain amplitude over a wide range of frequency and temperature on SBR vulcanizates filled with carbon black and silica where filler content, oil content, and microstructure of SBR varied. The data were shifted along the frequency scale. The data points of the individual tanƒÂ-frequency curve were found to be able to overlap with the adjacent curves, resulting in a single composite master curve for all the samples studied. Same set of shift factors obtained from tanƒÂ could be used to construct G' master curves. It was found that all the data of shift factor, aT, made a single WLF curve irrespective of the differences in filler, loading content of filler/oil, and microstructure of SBR, if the reference temperatures are chosen at the respective temperature where tanƒÂ of the individual sample showed peak value. The results may suggest the laboratory indices customarily used for rolling resistance and wet skid resistance of a carbon black filled SBR vulcanizate could be applicable to those of silica filled one.
   
A Study on Influence of Base Paper to Blistering Resistance of Coated Paper with Acceleration of Air Permeability
We reported that we developed a new air permeability tester with which we could measure the acceleration of the air permeability (AAP) of coated paper under high temperatures and high pressures during a short time. And we found that AAP was more strongly related to the blistering tendency of coated paper, before. In this paper, we used various base papers, and studied the influence of base paper to blistering resistance of coated paper with AAP. Then we found that a new factor, the slope which was obtained through AAP and coating weight (less than 5 g/m2 on side) plot, was strongly related to the blistering tendency. So, the result indicates that the interface property between base paper and coating layer has an influence upon the blistering resistance.
   
Design of i-Line Photoresist Capable of Sub-Quarter Micron Lithography: Effects of Novel Phenolic Resin with Controlled End Group
A new type of polymerization system for phenolic resin is proposed for high performance positive-working i-line photoresists used for sub-quarter micron lithography. A new design of phenolic resin is also proposed. The effects of end group of phenolic resin are mainly discussed from the standpoint of the dissolution characteristics of the photoresist and their lithographic performances; the resolution of 0.20ƒÊm (1L/1.5S) on BARC with an annular illumination aperture (NA = 0.57, 2/3ƒÐ=0.70).
   
Development of New Polyimides for Photo-Alignment of Liquid Crystal
We designed poIyimide films for liquid crystal (LC) alignment using a polarized UV exposure. Unidirectional LC alignment with any desired pretilt angles from 0 up to 90* were obtained using a single oblique polarized UV exposure. Results suggest that the selective photo-decomposition of the polyimide produces anisotropic van der WaaIs forces which align the LC.
   
New Photo-Aligned Multi-Domain Liquid Crystal Display Formed by Utilizing a Liquid Crystal Polarizer
We developed a new photo-aligned multi-domain liquid crystal display formed by utilizing a liquid crystal polarizer (LCP). The LCP was fabricated using double UV exposure and special liquid crystal materials. Any desired multi-domain liquid crystal configuration can be fabricated with a single UV exposure through the LCP. The resulting multi-domain liquid crystal cell made by use of the LCP showed high resolution with the identical pattern of the LCP and with a high dichroic ratio, comparable to liquid crystal cells made by rubbing.
