In general, the development of thermoplastic composites has been confronted with difficult problems such as the weak bonding strength between fibers and matrix. However, now, such problems are being surmounted by the development of resins, the improvement of processes, and introduction of interphase. Especially, the introduction of interphase between fiber and matrix can help a dissipation of the impact energy and provide a good adhesion between fibers and matrix. In this study, polymeric interphase was introduced by electrodeposition, modified polypropylene was added to improve the weak bonding strength between interphase and polypropylene matrix. By evaluation of interlaminar shear strength and impact strength of the composites, it was found that composites with introduced composites showed higher mechanical properties than those of composites without interphase. Reactive polymers which have either anhydride or free acid functional group were used as interphase materials, and these polymers also behave as charge carrier in aqueous solution during the electrodeposition process. Weight gain on the carbon fibers was evaluated by changing process parameters such as concentration of solution, current density, and electrodeposition time.

A unified correlation of the interfacial friction factor for air-water and steam-water flows in inclined rectangular channels has been developed. The correlation was expressed in the form of a power law of the liquid and the gas Reynolds number, and the liquid-to-gas viscosity ratio. In addition, a relation between the equivalent roughness and the intensity of wave height fluctuation of the interface has been investigated. A new dimensionless intensity of fluctuation including a liquid film Reynolds number is proposed. It has been shown that the dimensionless equivalent roughness, which is calculated from the Nikuradse equation, can be uniquely related to this dimensionless intensity of fluctuation for both air-water and steam-water flows.

A kinetic model for evaluating effects of surfactant on the biodegradation of HOC(hazardous organic chemicals) in soil-slurry systems was developed. The model includes the partition of HOC and surfactant, the dissolved-, micellar-, and sorbed-phase biodegradation, the enhanced solubilization of HOC by surfactant addition, and the mass transfer of HOC. Phenanthrene as HOC and Trition X-100, Tergitol NP-10, Igepal CA-720, and Brij 30 were used in the model simulations. The biodegradation rate was increased even with a small micellera-phase bioavailability. The biodegradation was not greatly enhanced due to decreased aqueous HOC concentration by increasing surfactant dose in both cases with and without micellar-phase bioavailability. The effect of sorbed-phase biodegradation on total biodegradation rate was not highly important compared to aqueous- and micellar-phase biodegradation. The model can be applied for surfactant screening and optimal design of surfactant-based soil bioremediation process.

The dynamic properties of short-fiber reinforced Chloroprene rubber have been studied as functions of interphase conditions and fiber content. The loss factor generally decreased with fiber content and showed different patterns according to interphase conditions. The better interphase condition showed the lower loss modulus, $E_2$. Also, the dynamic ratio decreased with fiber content and rapidly decreased in the case of double coatings, i.e., model C. Therefore, the short-fiber reinforced rubber could have the better isolation in frequency ratio($\sqrt{2}$ min.) compared to frequency ratio($\sqrt{2}$ max.). And we have investigate the possibility of applying short-fiber reinforced rubber to automotive engine mount.

Co/Ti 다층 박막을 제조하기 위해 직류원 마그네트론 스퍼터링 시스템을 이용하여 (100)실리콘 단결정 기판위에 Co와 Ti층을 각각 2/2, 5/5, 10/10 nm 정도의 두께로 조절하여 세가지 조성의 Co/Ti 다층 박막을 제조하였다. 이러한 Co/Ti 다층 박막의 후속 열처리는 Ar 가스분위기 하에서 Tube furnace를 이용하여 20$0^{\circ}C$와 30$0^{\circ}C$, 40$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 진행하였다. 증착초기에서부터 후속 열처리 공정을 진행하는 동안, Co/Ti 다층 박막에서의 계면반응을 미세 구조 변화 및 전기, 자기적 특성변화와 연관지어 관찰하였다. Co/Ti 다층 박막의 결정 구조와 미세 구조 변화를 관찰하기 위해 각각 X-선 회절기와 투과 전자 현미경을 사용하였고, 다층 박막의 전기적, 자기적 특성 변화를 관찰하기 위해 각각 4점 탐침기, 진동 시료형 자속계를 이용하였다. Co/Ti 다층 박막을 20$0^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 열처리를 한 경우에는 증착 초기의 계면반응에 의해 형성된 비정질 층이 성장하였고, 30$0^{\circ}C$와 40$0^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 열처리를 하는 경우에는 비정질 측의 성장보다는 새로운 화합물 CoTi 결정상이 형성되면서 비정질상은 오히려 감소하였다. 즉, Co/Ti 다층 박막의 계면 반응은 결정질 Co와 Ti을 계면 반응물로 소모시키면서 비정질 층을 성장시키는 비정질화 반응이 활발히 일어났다. 특히, 소모된 계면 반응물로 소모시키면서 비정질 층을 성장시키는 비정질화 반응일 활발히 일어났다. 특히, 계면 반응물로 소모시키면서 비정질 층을 성장시키는 비정질화 반응일 활발히 일어났다. 특히, 소모된 계면 반응물 Co와 Ti 중에서 Ti의 소모속도가 더 빠르게 관찰되었다. 이로부터 Ti 이 증착초기에서 저온 열처리 과정동안 Co/Ti 다층 박막의 계면에서 일어나는 비정질화 반응의 주 확산자로 작용했다는 것을 알 수 있다. 한편, 30$0^{\circ}C$와 40$0^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 열처리한 Co/Ti 다층 박막의 계면 반응은, 비정질 반응에 의한 비정질층의 형성보다는 새로운 화합물 결정질 CoTi상을 형성시키는 결정화 반응이 우세했다. Co/Ti 다층 박막의 전기적 저항은, 열처리에 의한 비정질 층의 생성 및 성장으로 인해 증가하였고 새로운 저저항 CoTi 결정상의 형성으로 인해 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Co/Ti 다층 박막의 포화 자화값은, 열처리에 의한 계면에서의 비정질화 반응과 CoTi 결정화 반응으로 인해 강자성체인 Co 결정상이 감소됨에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다.

The effects of cosurfactant on silica nanoparticles were investigated in systems containing surfactant, oil and aqueous ammonia solution where nanoparticles were prepared using a single phase water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion. For the same oil phase, a single phase region was dependent on the interaction between surfactant and oil. For the cyclohexane system, NP-5 surfactant showed a wider single phase region than NP-4. The addition of n-propanol as a cosurfactant resulted in an increase or a decrease of a single phase W/O microemulsion region depending on the continuous oil phase. For both cyclohexane and isooctane systems, the addition of n-propanol resulted in a decrease in the single phase region. On the other hand, for n-heptane system, the addition of n-propanol expanded a single phase W/O microemulsion region. Silica nanoparticles prepared within a single phase region showed that relatively large number of particles of irregular shape were obtained with the addition of n-propanol to NP surfactant system. The addition of n-propanol to LA-5 surfactant and n-heptane system produced a decrease in average particle size and an increase in the number of particles formed due to a decrease in the intermicellar exchange rate among microemulsion droplets.

계면면적 밀도는 two-fluid 모델에서 각 상 간의 상호작용에 영향을 주는 중요한 인자로서 이상유동 현상의 해석을 위하여는 이의 적절한 모델링이 필요하다. 계면면적 밀도의 모델링은 크게 상관식에 의존하는 방법론과 수송 방정식을 사용한 이론적인 접근방식으로 개발되어왔다. 후자는 시간적, 공간적으로 변하고 있는 동적 유동조건에 대하여 계면면적 밀도를 효과적으로 예측할 수 있는 방법론으로서 flow regime의 의존성을 줄이거나 없앨 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 계면면적 수송 방정식은 유체입자의 수밀도에 대한 수송 방정식의 통계적인 모델로부터 유도되며 입자들의 상호작용 및 상변화와 관련된 생성항을 포함하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 계면면적 밀도 수송 방정식 및 그 구성 모델들에 대한 연구현황을 정리하였다.

The fatigue properties of short nylon66 fiber reinforced Chloroprene rubber have been investigated as functions of interphase conditions and fiber content. The spring constant of rubber decreased about 21% after the fatigue test. On the contrary, that of reinforced rubber increased in all cases. The changing rate of spring constant for reinforced rubber decreased with increasing fiber content. This means that the better interphase condition, the smaller changing rate of spring constant. Temperature of matrix increased about 2.5 times and one of reinforced rubber showed 1.7∼2 times up after the test. The changing rate of temperature for reinforced rubber during fatigue test decreased with increasing fiber content. It is found that the better interphase condition, the smaller changing rate of specimen temperature at the same fiber content. Double coatings of bonding agent 402 and rubber solution became the best interphase model in this study. And, we have investigated the possibility of applying short-fiber reinforced rubber to automotive engine mount rubber, bush and stopper.

It has been found that the addition of cosurfactant is necessary in order to expand three phase region containing middle phase microemulsion in ternary systems containing alkyl ethoxylate (AEO) nonionic surfactant, commercial lubricant and water. Phase behavior in the surfactant systems with addition of cosurfactant over a temperature range of 30 to $60^{\circ}C$ showed different trends depending on surfactant, temperature and chain length of alcohol added. For the $C_{12}E_4$ system, addition of n-pentanol and n-hexanol both produced a three phase region over a wide range of temperatures but the middle-phase formed was found to be a $L_3$ or D' phase which would not facilitate solubilization of high molecular weight lubricants. On the other hand, for the $C_{12}E_5$ system, the middle-phase microemulsion was found to be formed with addition of a rather long-chain alcohol such as n-hexanol, n-heptanol, n-octanol, or n-nonanol. The results shown with the addition of cosurfactant was understood in connection with interfacial tension measurements and composition analysis. The inability of the hydrocarbon region of the surfactant films to incorporate the large lubricant molecules and high solubility of a hydrophobic surfactant are thought to be the chief reasons for poor solubilization with D' phase.

In this study, the effect of cosurfactant on the phase equilibrium and dynamic behavior was studied in systems containing NP7 nonionic surfactant solutions and nonpolar hydrocarbon oils. All cosurfactants used during this study such as n-pentanol, n-octanol and n-decanol acted as a hydrophobic additive and thus promoted the transition from an oil in water (O/W) microemulsion (${\mu}E$) in equilibrium with an excess oil phase to a three-phase region containing excess water, excess oil, and a middle-phase microemulsion and further to a water in oil (W/O) ${\mu}E$ in equilibrium with the excess water phase. The transition temperature was found to decrease with both increases in the chain length and amount of addition of a cosurfactant. Dynamic behavior studies under O/W ${\mu}E$ conditions showed that an oil drop size decreased with time due to the solubilization into micelles. On the other hand, both the spontaneous emulsification of water into the oil phase and the expansion of oil drop were observed under W/O ${\mu}E$ conditions because of the diffusion of surfactant and water into the oil phase. Under conditions of a three-phase region including a middle-phase ${\mu}E$, both the rapid solubilization and emulsification of the oil into aqueous solutions were found mainly due to the existence of ultra-low interfacial tension. Dynamic interfacial tension measurements have been found to be in a good agreement with dynamic behavior results.
