Up to now, the RC structures have been recognized as being socially semi-permanent. But in recent years there were reports about the cases of early deterioration of RC structures. Most of all pore structure effects on the durability of concrete as well as mechanical properties of concrete. Therefore, in this study, mixing design was proportioned with the water-binder ratio 0.55 binder compositions corresponding to cement without any supplementary materials(OPC), cement with 50% blast-furnace slag replacement (BFS50), cement with 15% fly ash replacement (FA15), and ternary cement with cement, 15% fly ash, and 35% slag replacement (BFS35+FA15). And this study is to compare pore structure property of concrete by carbonation to investigate the effect of the permeation of deterioration factors such as $CO_2$ and chloride ion under the combined deterioration environments. The results showed that pore volume effects on the diffusibility of chloride ion.

Au 합금 도금층은 내마모성 및 내식성이 우수하고 접촉저항이 낮기 때문에, 커넥터, 인쇄회로기판 등과 같은 전자부품의 접속단자부에 널리 적용되고 있다. 각 부품들을 효과적으로 전기적 신호를 통해 연결하기 위해서는 낮은 접촉저항이 요구되며, 이러한 Au 합금 도금층의 접촉저항은 합금 원소의 종류 및 함량, 용융 솔더와 전자부품을 고정시키는 표면실장공정에서 받는 theremal aging의 온도와 시간에 따라 변화된다. 현재 전자부품용 커넥터에 실시되고 있는 금 합금도금은 Au-0.3wt%Co합금, Au-0.2wt%Ni합금도금이 대부분 적용되고 있으며, 높은 순도(금 함유량 99.7wt%이상)로 인하여 금 사용량을 절감하기 어려운 실정이다. Sn은 Au와 높은 고용률을 갖는 합금을 형성하는 장점을 갖고 있기에 금 사용량 절감에 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Sn을 합금 원소로 사용하여 높은 Sn함량을 갖는 Au 합금 도금층을 제작하고, 무연솔더의 융점보다 더 높은 온도인 533K에서 thermal aging을 실시하여, Sn함량별로 thermal aging에 따른 접촉저항과 솔더퍼짐성의 변화를 기존의 Co, Ni합금과 비교 조사하였다. 또한, 표면분석을 통하여 Au-Sn합금 도금층의 접촉저항이 변화하는 요인에 대해서도 고찰하였다. 표면적 $0.2dm^2$의 순수 동 시편 위에 약 $2{\mu}m$두께의 Ni도금을 실시한 후 Sn 함량을 다르게 준비한 도금 용액(Au 6g/L, Sn 1~8g/L)을 사용하여 Au-Sn합금 도금을 실시하였다. Au-Sn합금 도금층은 전류밀도 0.5ASD, 온도 $40^{\circ}C$에서 약 $0.1{\mu}m$두께가 되도록 도금하였으며, 두께는 형광X선 도금두께측정기로 측정하였다. 금 합금 도금층 내의 Sn함량은 Ti시편 위에 도금한 Au-Sn합금층을 왕수에 용해시킨 다음, ICP를 사용하여 분석하였다. Au-Sn합금 도금층의 접촉저항은 준비된 시편을 533K에서 1분 30초, 3분, 6분 간 열처리한 후, 5회 접촉저항을 측정하여 그 평균값으로 하중에 따른 금 합금 도금층의 접촉저항을 비교하였다. 솔더링성은 솔더볼을 합금 표면에 솔더페이스트를 이용하여 붙인 뒤 533K에서 30초간 열처리하고, 열처리 후 솔더볼의 높이 변화를 측정해 열처리 전 솔더볼의 높이에 비해 퍼진정도를 측정하였다. 또한, 도금층 내의 Sn함량에 따라서 접촉저항이 변화하는 요인을 분석하기 위해서 X선 광전자 분광기를 이용하여 도금층 표면의 정량 분석 및 화학적 결합상태를 분석하였다. ICP분석결과 Au-Sn합금층 내의 Sn함량은 도금용액의 조성별로 9~12wt% Sn 합금층이 형성된 것을 알 수 있었고 기존의 Au-Ni, Au-Co 합금층과 비교해 합금함량이 크게 증가된 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 접촉저항 측정 결과, 기존의 Au-Ni, Au-Co합금층의 접촉저항과 비교했을 때 Au-Sn합금층의 접촉저항이 더 낮은 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 솔더퍼짐성 측정 결과 기존의 Au-Ni, Au-Co합금층과 비교해 솔더퍼짐성이 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 전자부품용 접점재료에 합금함량이 높은 Au-Sn합금층을 적용시키면 더 우수한 커넥터의 성능을 얻을 수 있을 뿐 아니라 경제적으로 큰 절약 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Enhancing the properties of rubber, such as the tensile strength, modulus, and wear abrasion, by the addition of carbon black and silica as fillers is very important for improving the performance of rubber products. In this review, we summarize the general features of 'the reinforcement of rubber by fillers' and the equations for representing the reinforcement phenomena. The rubber reinforcement was attributed to enhancement of the following: the rubber, bound rubber, formation of networks, and combination between rubber chains and silica followed by entanglement. The reinforcement capability of silica species with different surface and networked states demonstrated the importance of the connection between the silica particles and the rubber chains in achieving high reinforcement. The model involving combination followed by entanglement can provide a plausible explanation of the reinforcement of rubber by carbon black and silica because the combination facilitates the concentration of rubber chains near the filler particles, and entanglement of the rubber chains around the filler particles enforces the resistance against deformation and breakage of rubber compounds, resulting in high reinforcement.

This study was performed to investigate photosynthetic responses of 4 foliage plants in relation to light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and media, and to select efficient plants for the indoor environment control based on the results. Four foliage plants used in this study included Syngonium podophyllum, Schefflera arboricola cv. Hong Kong, Dieffenbachia amoena, and Dracaena deremensis cv. Warneckii Compacta. The plants cultivated in two different growth media, peatmoss and hydroball, and subjected to various light intensities (0, 30, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400, and $600\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD) and $CO_2$ levels (0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 700, 1000, and $1500\;{\mu}mol{CO_2}{\cdot}mol^{-1}$). As a result of the photosynthetic rate of foliage plants according to change of light intensity and $CO_2$ levels, Schefflera arboricola and Dieffenbachia amoena showed high apparent quantum yield, which stands for the photosynthetic rate under low light intensity, and both plants also recorded higher photosynthetic rate under high $CO_2$ concentration compared to the other two indoor plants. Dracaena deremensis showed the lowest photosynthetic rate under the low light intensity or high $CO_2$ concentration. There were inconsistent results in photosynthetic rate of foliage plants grown in peatmoss or hydroball. Higher photosynthetic rate was observed in Schefflera arboricola with peatmoss rather than hydroball as light and $CO_2$ concentration increased. However, hydroball had a positive effect on Dieffenbachia amoena in terms of photosynthetic rate. In case of Syngonium podophyllum, peatmoss induced higher photosynthetic rate according to increased light intensity, but there was no effect of media on the rate under various $CO_2$ treatements. In contrast, media did not affect to photosynthetic efficiency of Dracaena deremensis subjected to various light intensities and the rate of Dracaena deremensis with peatmoss was a little high when $CO_2$ concentration increased. In conclusion, potential plants for the indoor air pulification and environmental control were Schefflera arboricola and Dieffenbachia amoena because they showed high photosynthetic rate under typical indoor conditions, low light intensity and high $CO_2$ concentration.

일반적으로 청색 및 자외선 발광다이오드, 레이저 다이오드, UV 감지기 (detector)소자 등의 기술적인 중요성은 ZnO를 기반으로 하는 산화물 반도체와 함께 와이드 밴드갭 반도체 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. ZnO의 경우 밴드갭 엔지니어링을 위해 일반적으로 Cd과 Mg을 사용하고 있으며 특히, ZnO에 Mg을 첨가하여 MgZnO 화합물을 첨가할 경우 밴드갭을 3.3eV~7.8eV까지 증가 시킬 수 있고, MgZnO/ZnO 초격자 구조를 이용할 경우 자유 엑시톤 결합에너지를 100meV 이상까지 증가시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 MgO는 결정구조가 rocksalt 구조를 가지는 입방정 구조이기 때문에 Hexagonal 구조를 가진 ZnO에 첨가될 경우 고용도에 큰 제한을 가지게 된다. 이와 같은 문제점으로 인하여 밴드갭 엔지니어링 기술은 여전히 해결되지 않은 문제점으로 남아 있다. 본 실험에서는 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 사파이어 기판위에 MgZnO/ZnO 박막을 co-sputtering 시켰다. Targer은 ZnO(99.999%) 와 MgO (99.999%) target을 사용하였고, 스퍼터링 가스는 아르곤과 산소가스를 2:1 비율로 혼합시켜 성장하였다. MgZnO 박막을 성장하기 전 ZnO 층을 ~500 두께로 성장 시켰다. RF-power는 ZnO target을 고정 시키고, MgO targe power를 변화시켜 Mg 농도를 조절 하였다. 실험 결과 MgO target power 가 증가 할수록 반치폭이 증가하고, c-plane을 따라 격자 상수가 감소하는 것을 확인 할 수 있고, UV emission peak intensity가 감소며 단파장쪽으로 blue shift 하고, activation energy 가 증가하는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of surgical stent according to the supported type. Materials and methods: 5 sets of dental models which have tooth supported edentulous area and tooth-tissue supported edentulous area were made. Dental model were scanned with model scanner, and CBCT was taken. CT data and model scan data were overlapped using In2Guide software, implant were virtually planned in the software. Surgical stents are fabricated by 3D printing. The implant fixture were installed using the surgical stent, CBCT were retaken. CBCT before surgery and after surgery were overlapped, and the differences (angle difference, coronal difference, apical difference) were evaluated using statistical analysis. Results: In the assessment of the accuracy of surgical guides according to arch type, there are no statistically significant differences between maxilla and mandible. In the case of support type, tooth supported stents showed lower angle difference and length difference than tooth-tissue supported stents, which are statistically significant. Conclusion: Arch type does not affect the accuracy of surgical stents. But tooth support stents are more accurate than tooth-tissue support stents in the case of angle and length difference.

Lightweight Foamed Soil (LWFS) is a useful material for underground pipe backfill because of reusability of excavated soil and no compaction effect. In this research, a pilot test is carried out and monitoring results are analyzed to investigate behaviors of a flexible pipe, when LWFS is applied as a backfill material. Simultaneously, they are compared with another test case which is backfilled with Saemangeum dredged soil. As a result, the vertical earth pressure of the case backfilled with LWFS slurry presents that decreases as much as 25.6% in comparison with dredged soil and it is only within 10% after solidification. In case backfilled with dredged soil, the horizontal earth pressure is more than 3.6 times of the case used by LWFS and the vertical and horizontal deformation is more than 3.2 and 2.6 times of the case, respectively. It presents excellent effects on earth pressure and deformation reduction of LWFS. The stresses measured at the upper side of the pipe generally present compressive aspects in case backfilled with dredged soil. However, they present tensile aspects in case of LWFS. It is because of negative moment occurred at the center of the pipe due to the buoyancy from LWFS slurry. Conclusively, LWFS using Saemangeum dredged soil is very excellent material to use near the area in comparison with the dredged soil. However, the countermeasure to prevent the buoyancy is required.

In this study, the pull out resistance characteristics of an anchor bar to support a spillway installed in a slope are investigated by field tests. The injection materials were a cement mortar and cement milk. Unconfined compression strengths of those materials under several conditions were measured. As the result of compression test, the unconfined compression strengths of the cement mortar and the cement milk have positive proportional relation-ship with the water-cement ratio. They also have negative proportional relationship with increasing the curing time. In the same condition of water-cement ratio and curing time, the unconfined compression strength of cement milk is larger than that of cement mortar. In order to reduce the eccentricity in anchor bar during pull-out test in the field, the installation apparatus was improved by inserting a nut type of steel fixing coupling into the anchor bar. As the result of the pull-out test, the strength modification of cement milk was increased steeply at the early curing time. However, that of cement mortar was increased gradually with passing the curing time. Therefore, the cement milk has to use as the injection material for a prompt construction of anchor bar because the strength modification of cement milk is occurred at the early curing time.

As a result of the recent social transformation towards a hydrogen economy and carbon-neutrality, the demands for hydrogen energy have been increasing rapidly worldwide. As such, eco-friendly hydrogen production technologies that do not produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are being focused on. Among them, ammonia (NH₃) is an economical hydrogen carrier that can easily produce hydrogen (H₂). In this study, Ru/Al₂O₃ catalyst coated onmetallic monolith for hydrogen production from ammonia was prepared by a dip-coating method using a catalyst slurry mixture composed of Ru/Al₂O₃ catalyst, inorganic binder (alumina sol) and organic binder (methyl cellulose). At the optimized 1:1:0.1 weight ratio of catalyst/inorganic binder/organic binder, the amount of catalyst coated on the metallic monolith after one cycle coating was about 61.6 g L^-1. The uniform thickness (about 42 ㎛) and crystal structure of the catalyst coated on the metallic monolith surface were confirmed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Also, a numerical optimization regression equation for NH3 conversion according to the independent variables of reaction temperature (400-600 ℃) and gas hourly space velocity (1,000-5,000 h^-1) was calculated by response surface methodology (RSM). This model indicated a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.991 and had statistically significant predictors. This regression model could contribute to the commercial process design of hydrogen production by ammonia decomposition.
