저급의 고지 원료를 두께 방향으로 고온 압착을 가하여 건조함으로써 전반적인 종이 물성 을 향상시키는 콘디벨트 건조 방식은 70년대 중반부터 80년대에 이르는 10여년에 걸친 개발 과정을 거쳤으며 90년대에 들어서 핀랜드의 Inkeroinen에 위치한 V alemt- Tarnpella의 연구 소에 최초의 파일로트 설비가 설치되었으며 그 후 1996년에는 핀랜드 ENSO사의 P Pank밟oski 판지공장에 설치됨으로써 세계 최초의 상업생산설비를 이루게 되었다. 기존의 실린더 건조 기술과 비교할 때 콘디벨트 건조방식은 건조속도를 약 5-15배 향상시킬 수 있 으며, 건조 에너지 절감에 큰 효과가 있을 뿐만 아니라 기존의 실린더 건조시 종이가 폭방 향으로 수축되 어 인장 stiffness와 압축 강도 동의 종이 물성 이 저 하되 는 반면 습윤상태 의 섬유를 120도씨이상에서 가열에 의해 리그닌을 연화시킴과 동시에 섬유의 유연성을 증가시켜 준다. 그리고 높은 압력을 가해줌으로써 섬유간의 결합 면적을 증가시키고 건조시 종이의 폭방향의 수축을 감소시켜 인장강도, 내부결합강도, 밀도, 표면평활성, 투기저항성 등 종이의 물성을 대폭 향상시켜주는 혁신적인 제지기술로 인정받고 있으며 국내의 경우 현재 1998년 부터 상업생산을 이루어짐으로써 그 공헌도는 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 골판지의 주원료가 되는 국산 골판지 고지 (Korean old corrugated container, K KOCC)의 거듭된 재생처리로 인하여 미세분의 함량이 전체 지료의 절반 이상에 달할 뿐만 아니라, 섬유가 각질화와 단섬유화로 인하여 고온압착 건조처리 만으로는 골판지 고지로 생 산된 원지의 강도를 버진펄프로 생산된 원지가 가지는 강도에 준하는 강도로 향상시키는데 한계점을 가지게 된다. 유럽의 제지선진국들은 골판지 원지의 강도를 향상시키는 방편으로 표변에 전분 사이즈 프레스 처리를 도입하였으며 본 연구에서는 고온 압착 건조 처리 설비를 활용한 전분 표면처리의 가능성을 검토하고 골판지 원지의 강도를 향상시키기 위한 표면처리조건을 탐색하였다.

Restraining cracks on concrete structures can be the basic condition to improve the durability, so in this research, the resistibility on the drying shrinkage of concrete structures in the long period was being confirmed and as the reason of this shrinkage, the density of minute textures was being analyzed using a wooden prototype of a full scale produced with ready-mixed concrete and agents of glycol which can be used as a surfactant. As result of those tests, PFB technology can reduce the drying shrinkage by approximately $-100{\sim}200{\times}10^{-6}$ on a wooden prototype of a full scale and can also reduce the pore volume as the obstruction to the movement of gas or liquid by approximately $2.4{\sim}3.5$% so that PFB technology can be used to assure the resistibility on the drying shrinkage.

Because the allowable current loading of buried electrical transmission cables is frequently limited by the maximum permissible temperature of the cable or of the surrounding ground, there is a need for cable backfill materials to be maintained at a low thermal resistivity during the service period. Temperatures greater than $50^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ may lead to breakdown of cable insulation and thermal runaway if the surrounding backfill material is unable to dissipate the heat as rapidly as it is generated. This paper describes the results of studies aimed at the development of backfill material to reduce the thermal resistivity. A large number of different additive materials were tested to determine their applicability as a substitute material. The results of Dong-rim river sand (relatively uniform) show that as water content level increases, thermal resistivity tends to decrease, whereas the thermal resistivity on dry condition is very high value($260^{\circ}C-cm/watt$). In addition, other materials(such as Jinsan granite screenings, A-2(sand and gravel mixture), E-1(rubble and granite screenings mixture) and SGFC(sand, gravel, fly-ash and cement mixture)) are well-graded materials with low thermal resistivity($100^{\circ}C-cm/watt$ when dry). Based on this research, 4 types of improved materials were suggested as the environmentally friendly backfill materials with low thermal resistivity.

This paper describes a new approach to minimize the amount of shrinkage cracking in cement treated base(CTB). CTB is a stiffness base having lots of merits such as higher rutting resistance, minimizing fatigue cracking, and the ability to distribute upper loads. However, It is not applied to asphalt pavement system in Korea because of possible cracks caused by dry shrinkage. The goal of this study is the development of cement treated base with lower shrinkage for preventing reflection cracks and rutting. After identifying factors affecting dry shrinkage and analyzing mechanism of each admixture, the laboratory and field tests were designed and performed. Through the preliminary tests, the mix design containing 25 percent o( fly ash and 7 percent of cement was suggested. This mix design was satisfied with strength for Korea specification standard. According to the results considering strength, shrinkage, and economical efficiency, two mix designs were selected; 1) containing 25 percent of fly ash and 2) containing 25 percent of fly ash with 10 percent of expensive additive. For field test based on the result of laboratory test, the optimized alternative in cement treated base with lower shrinkage was the mix design containing 25 percent of fly ash with 10 percent of expansive additive.

Xanthan gum biopolymer is an ecofriendly ground stabilizer that maintains stability in a wide range of temperatures and pH values. The binding effect of sandy soil particles realized by injecting xanthan gum biopolymer is dependent on the xanthan gum matrix, which is formed during the drying process; thus a study on the effects of the drying process of the xanthan gum solution on the changes in stiffness characteristics of sandy soil is required. In this study, shear wave velocity and electrical resistivity were monitored in sandy soil specimens saturated with biopolymer solutions of different gravimetric concentrations to investigate the improvement effects of biopolymer-treated sandy soils with the drying process. The experimental results reveal that both shear wave velocity and electrical resistivity increase during drying process. The results demonstrate the stiffness improvement effects of biopolymer-treated sandy soils. In addition, a higher stiffness improvement effect was monitored in the biopolymer-treated sandy soils with a higher gravimetric concentration. The results of this study may be used to estimate the stiffness improvement effects of sandy soils treated with biopolymer solutions with the drying process.

In this study, fluorine-silicate hybrid type crack reducing agent(FS) consisted of fluorine and silicate compounds applied to concrete mix(specification : 25-30-18) between 0.5% and 2.0% at intervals of 0.5% based on cement weight. Experiments for material properties of concrete such as slump, air content and bleeding with elapsed time were performed. Experiment and elucidation for shrinkage crack resistance as well as adiabatic hydration temperature were also carried out. It was appeared that FS addition contributed to lower bleeding and hydration temperature without disturbance of fresh properties of concrete such as slump and air content compared to non-added concrete. Especially, shrinkage crack resistance of concrete resulted from plastic and drying shrinkage could be effectively reduced by the addition of FS ranging from 1.0% to 1.5%.

Skid Resistance is a index to represent the friction between tire and road surface, which influences driving safety. Skid resistance varies with the conditions of tire, abrasion of road surface, vehicle speed, drying, wet and freezing condition of road surfaces. Especially, freezing occurs when temperature drops below $0^{\circ}C$ followed by snow or rain causes decrease of skid resistance. To recover the decreased skid resistance deicing work is applied. As a results of deicing works, freezing condition is changed into wet condition. However the wet road surfaces containing the remaining deicings agents may not show the skid resistance of normal wet condition. In this study, skid resistances in the condition of freezing, deicing process and deicing agents remained after snow-removal are evaluated. The test results, skid resistance recover quickly when Pre-wetted salt spreading and NaCl was used as deicing method. Skid resistance of Deicing agents remained on the road surface showed that concrete is higher than asphalt. superior effect. Recovery rate of skid resistance by comparison wet condition is 54~80%.

Recently transparent electrodes using carbon nanotube (CNT) have been studied actively to replace conventional ITO. In this work, CNT or ITO coated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were prepared by controlling the surfaces since the cohesion degree depends upon drying conditions. As transparent electrode application, 3 drying temperatures were set as 20, 80, and $120^{\circ}C$ to produce the change of surface properties. Interfacial durability and electrical properties of prepared transparent electrodes were evaluated by electrical resistance measurement. Surface change with changing drying temperature was observed by FE-SEM, whereas the transparency change was measured by UV-spectroscopy. The electronic properties of nanoparticle coated surface were evaluated using cyclic voltametry method upon the surface change with controlled drying temperature. Durability of CNT coated surfaces was better than ITO coated ease. As drying temperature increased, better coated surface was prepared due to improved cohesion among nanoparticles, which resulted in increased electrical properties.
