In this study, we fabricated and characterized a nanostructured surface based on a plastic injection molding with a local mold heating (LMH) system. A metal mold core with a closed packed nano convex array (CVA) was achieved by integrated engineering procedures: (1) master template fabrication by anodic aluminum oxidation (AAO), (2) nickel electroforming (NE) process, and (3) post-processing by precision machining. The nickel mold core was utilized to replicate a surface with a closed packed nano concave-array (CCA) based on injection molding using cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) as a plastic material. In particular, an LMH system was introduced to enhance transcription quality of the nano structures by delaying solidification of molten polymer near the surface of the mold core.

Nowadays, flat-shaped cover glass is widely used for mobile devices. However, for its good design and convenience of use, curved cover glass has been demanded. Thus, many companies have tried to produce curved cover glass through the shaving technique, but the production efficiency is very low. Therefore, the molding technique has been adopted to increase the efficiency for the curved-glass production system. For a glass-molding system, several heating blocks are installed, and the flat cover glass is sequentially heated and molded. The production time for the cover glass is very different depending on the heating conditions; thus, the prediction of the production time for different heating conditions should be needed. Therefore, in this study, the computations were performed with different heating conditions (uniform and non-uniform) in the present cover glass-molding machine. For uniform and non-uniform heating conditions, the simple correlation between the heating time and the heater capacity and the heating time to achieve higher durability can be suggested, respectively.

The procedure of semi-solid forming is composed of heating a billet, forming, compression holding and ejecting step. There are several methods to heat a billet during semi-solid forming process such as electric heating and induction heating. Usually in semi-solid forming process, induction heating has been adopted to achieve more uniform temperature of semi-solid material. Although induction heating is better method than any others, however, there is still difference of temperature between internal part and surface part of semi-solid material. Worse yet, in case of high liquid fraction of semi-solid material, liquid of the billet will flow down though solid of the billet still remains, which is very difficult to handle. In the present study, induction heating of semi-solid material with compulsive surface cooling has been performed to obtain uniform distribution of temperature. Distribution of temperature of the billets was measured and compared with that of conventional distribution of temperature. By this new induction heating method, not only temperature over the whole billet become uniform, but also control of temperature is possible.

일반형 자동차 내장부품은 외부가 플라스틱 사출 성형한 형태로 사용되지만, 고급 차종은 내장재의 미감이나 질감을 위하여 사출물 표면에 엠보싱 무늬가 형성된 표피재가 수지에 추가로 부착되어 제작된다. 부착하는 방법은 한 장비에서 저압 사출 후 플라스틱이 완전 응고 전에 표피재를 넣고 압입하는 저압 사출법과 표피재 수지를 기 사출된 제품위에 놓고 압착시키는 압착법이 있으나 이 두 방법 모두 엠보싱 무늬가 형성된 표피재를 넣고 작업하기 때문에 고온 압착시 기존 무늬가 찌그러지고 코너 부위가 경화되어 기존의 질감을 얻지 못하며, 치수 공차가 변형되어 불량률이 증가하므로 이를 시급히 개선할 새로운 제조 기술의 필요성이 대두된다. 본 연구는 가열 압착기로 지그 및 금형을 새로 개발하여 도어 트림 제조시, 기 사출물을 금형 쪽으로 기 조직을 삽입한 후 엠보싱 무늬가 없는 원소재 표피재로 상부 금형 쪽으로 소재조직을 진공으로 흡입하여 무늬를 성형한 후 하강시켜, 기 사출물에 압착시키는 가열 압착으로 엠보싱무늬의 손상을 방지하는 금형을 제안하였으며 그에 대한 해석, 설계, 실험을 통하여 성능을 평가 분석 하였다.

In home-style microwave oven, silica-Al powder mixture was ignited among pellets and combustion wave-front propagated to produce Si+AIN+Al2O3 as resultant phases under N2 atmosphere. Without cooling pro-cedure the resultant phases of Si+AIN+Al2O3 continously absorbed microwave and were heated to be syn-thesized into sialon phases. This synthesis rate of sialon phases from silica-Al powder mixture in home-style microwave oven was higher than that in conventional furnace, and total processing time was around 1 hour, which could save energy and cost.

Thin-wall injection molding is associated with many advantages, including increased portability, the conserving of materials, and the reduction of the molding cycle times. In the application of the thin-wall molding, a considerable reduction of the effective flow thickness results in filling difficulty. High-frequency induction is an efficient way to overcome this filling difficulty by means of heating the mold surface by electromagnetic induction. The present study applies the induction heating to the injection molding of thinwalled micro structures with high aspect ratio. The feasibility of the proposed heating method is investigated through a numerical analysis. The estimated filling characteristics of the micro-features are investigated with variations of mold temperature and part thickness, of which results are also compared with experimental measurements.

By heat treating coal tar pitch between 450∼500$^{\circ}C$, mesophase pitch could be obtained. Subsequently, this pitch was oxi-stabilized between 160∼240$^{\circ}C$ in air for the purpose of reducing swelling and distortion. The mechanism of stabilization was analysed using the thermo-gravity and FT-IR. To investigate the effect of oxi-stabilization, the shore hardness and bending stress were measured with carbonized green body which was made from oxi-stabilized coal tar pitch.

Vibrational film has been more employed in ear-phones or small type of speakers along with a wide use of portable multi-media equipments such as MP3 and MP4. However, the current hand work production process of diaphragms is inefficient. In this study, a die-and-mold and a single production forming machine are developed, and they result in a multi-production forming machine. The multi-production forming machine consists primarily of a film feeding unit and an unwinding unit. A vacuum suction device provides the film feeding unit, while the unwinding unit is obtained using an appropriate damper. The advantage of the developed single production forming machine is shown according to a proper voice test.

Fermentation and morphological characteristics of rice bread baked with gums, lipids, and glutens added dough were investigated to establish the standard recipe for rice bread processing. All gum-type additives 1ed to successful formation of rice bread. Hydroxypropyl-methyl-cellulose among tested gums showed the best volume expansion and successful formation of rice bread. Addition of vegetable oils gave better effect on increasing the specific loaf volume and tenderness of rice bread than addition of the solid-type lipids such as margarin and lard during rice bread processing. Dry heating during baking of the rice bread gave more desirable effect on specific gravity of rice bread than wet heating. High-amylose rices such as Suweonjo, AC 27, and IR 44 showed better formation of rice bread in the case of adding 3% hydroxypropyl-methyl-cellulose, while Suweon 230 and Pusa-33-30 showed slightly better formation of rice bread in the case of adding the gluten and strong hard flour. The glutinous rice Hangangchalbyeo failed to the formation of rice bread in both cases of adding 3% hydroxypropyl-methyl-cellulose and the gluten and hard flour.

This research aims to develop polymer composites which can be used for PEMFC separators by injection molding process. Considering the moldability and stiffness, we used PPS(Poly(phenylene sulfide)) and PP(Polypropylene) as base resin. In order to improve electrical conductivity and physical properties, we chose glass fiber, carbon fiber, carbon black, and both expanded graphite and synthetic graphite. The 3 type composites are prepared for injection molding of PEMFC separators. and CAE(Computer Aided Engineering) analysis was conducted to optimize injection processing parameters(injection pressure, heat time, mold temperature etc.). We did successfully fabricate the separators by injection molding, and measure the electrical conductivity of the samples by using four point probe device. Conclusively, PP/SG/CB composite showed better both electrical conductivity and moldability than the others.
