Environmental friendly UV-curable coatings, having excellent hardness, gloss, mar and chemical resistance, are commonly used for the wooden flooring coatings. Especially epoxy acrylate oligomers are chosen for the wooden flooring coatings, due to their thermal stability and fast curing. In this study, we investigated the effect of the acrylate functionality on the thermal stability and surface hardness. The thermal degradations of monomers, oligomer, photoinitiator and formulated coatings with different acrylate functionality were measured using a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). And the surface hardness was also measured with a pendulum hardness tester to compare relationship between the thermal stability and the physical property. The cured coatings became thermally stable by crosslinking during UV-curing. Both the thermal stability and surface hardness of cured coatings were improved with increasing acrylate functionality.

A fiber-optic interferometric voltage sensor with high sensitivity is investigated. The fiber-optic voltage sensor is composed of an In-Line Michaelson interferometer bonded on a PZT. The In-Line Michaelson interferometer is a hollow optical fiber spliced to a single-mode fiber at one end and cleaved at the other end. The phase shift of the sensor output signal was induced by the applied AC voltage. The relation between the amplitude of the applied voltage and the phase shift of the sensor output signal was approximately linear and the sensitivity was $0.065{\pi}$ radian/V.

LAS ($Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$) ceramics were sintered by a solid-state reaction. $CaCO_3$ and $ZrO_2$ were added to the ${\beta}$-spodumene ($Li_2O-Al_2O_3-4SiO_2$) composition of the LAS system for enhancement of sintering behavior and mechanical strength, respectively. We have investigated the sintering characteristics, microstructures, mechanical properties and thermal expansion characteristics according to the change of the amount of additive and sintering temperature of the ${\beta}$-spodumene. At 0.1 mol% $CaCO_3$, the densification of ${\beta}$-spodumene was significantly improved. At 0.04 mol% $ZrO_2$, the strength of ${\beta}$-spodumene was also improved. For all the selected all compositions, the thermal expansion coefficient was measured by a dilatometer, which revealed 1.2 to $1.7{\times}10^6/^{\circ}C$.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has recently drawn an enormous industrial interest because of its useful mechanical properties such as thermal resistance, abrasion resistance and thermal conductivity at high temperature. Especially, high purity SiC is applicable to the fields of power semiconductor and lighting emitting diode (LED). In this work, high purity carbon powders as raw material for high purity SiC were prepared by a RF induction thermal plasma. Dodecane ($C_{12}H_{26}$) as hydrocarbon liquid precursor has been utilized for synthesis of high purity carbon powders. It is found that the filtercollected carbon powders showed smaller particle size (10~20 nm) and low crystallinity compared to the reactor-collected carbon powders. The purities of reactor-collected and filter-collected carbon powders were 99.9997 % (5N7) and 99.9993 % (5N3), respectively. In addition, the impurities of carbon powders synthesized by RF induction thermal plasma were mainly originated from the surrounding environment.

빗각 증착은 입사 증기가 기판과 평행하게 입사하지 않고 기울여져 입사하는 코팅 방법으로 박막의 조직을 다양한 형태로 제어할 수 있다. 사전 연구결과에서 빗각으로 코팅된 알루미늄(Al) 박막의 경우 빗각으로 코팅되지 않은 Al 박막보다 반사율, 표면조도, 내식성이 향상되는 결과를 얻었다. 본 연구에서는 빗각 증착과 Al 박막의 Si 함유량이 반사율, 내열, 내식성에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 마그네트론 스퍼터링으로 Al과 Al-Si 합금(Al-3 wt%Si, Al-10wt%Si)을 코팅하였다. 기판은 실리콘 웨이퍼와 염수분무시험을 위해 냉간압연강판을 사용하였으며 기판은 진공용기에 장착하기 전 알코올과 아세톤으로 초음파 세척 후 진공용기에서 글로우 방전을 이용하여 청정을 실시하였다. 기판 청정이 끝나면 기판을 $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$의 다양한 빗각으로 고정시켜 다층의 Al과 Al-Si 합금 박막을 코팅하였다. 박막의 조직을 관찰하기 위해 전자현미경을 사용하였으며 Al과 Al-Si 박막이 코팅된 냉간압연강판의 부식 특성을 평가하기 위해서 염수분무시험을 실시하였다. 박막의 치밀도 측정을 위해 Ferroxyl 시험을 실시하여 철과 Ferroxyl 용액이 반응하여 발생하는 파란 반점으로 기공도를 평가하였다. 박막의 내열성 평가를 위해서 대기 전기로를 이용하여 $450^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$에서 각각 4시간과 8시간 동안 열처리를 실시하여 시편 표면의 색상 변화를 분광광도계와 색차계로 관찰하였다. Al 박막의 Si 함량이 증가할수록 박막의 조직이 치밀해지고 내부식성이 향상되었다. Si이 10 wt% 함유된 박막은$500^{\circ}C$로 8시간 열처리한 후에도 열처리하지 않은 시편과 광택도 비교에서 변화가 크지 않았다. 빗각 $30^{\circ}$에서 코팅한 Si 함량 10 wt%인 박막이 우수한 반사율을 보였으며 염수분무시험에서 216시간이 경과한 후에 적청이 발생하여 우수한 내부식성을 보였다. 따라서 코팅층의 우수한 내부식성과 내열성, 높은 반사율은 다양한 산업분야에 적용이 가능한 우수한 표면처리 소재를 확보할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

Benzoic acid polyester/lactone polyol were synthesized by polycaprolactone 0201 as diol, trimethylolpropane as triol, adipic acid as dibasic acid, and benzoic acid as monobasic acid. Polyisocyanate prepolymer Desmodur N-100 of HDI-biuret type was used in this study. Two-component polyurethane coatings were prepared by blending benzoic acid polyester/polycaprolactone, polyisocyanate, wetting/dispersing agent, white pigment, and flowing agent. Various properties were examined on the film coated with the prepared polyurethane. They showed excellent physical properties such as abrasion resistance, accelerated weathering resistance, and yellowness index. They also showed good physical properties such as flexibility, impact resistance, 60$^{\circ}$ specular gloss, cross hatch adhesion, hydrocarbon resistance, and lightness index difference. Hardness of coating showed a little poor character. The introduction of polycaprolactone 0201 as diol in the polyurethane coatings improved the hydrocarbon resistance, impact resistance, and flexibility of coatings. According to the drying and curing behavior with the contents of benzoic acid, they seem to have reasonable coating properties such as drying time of 2 to 4 hours and pot-life time of 20 to 37 hours.

Barium cerate ($BaCeO_3$) related perovskite ceramics currently dominate the high-temperature proton conductor field. Unfortunately, these materials have very stringent environmental limitations necessitating the costly and complex conditioning or cleaning of the application feed-gas. Commercial realization has been hampered, in part, because of the reactivity of $BaCeO_3$ with $CO_2$, and to some extent $H_2O$. And sintered $BaCeO_3$ decomposed at a rate comparable to the powder samples. In this article, the chemical stability and the structural changes of $BaCe_{0.9-X}Y0.1La_XO_{3-\delta}$ (X=0, 0.1, 0.2) have been systematically investigated in the atmosphere containing carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water vapor ($H_2O$). The sintering characteristics were studied in $1600^{\circ}C$, sintered pellets disintegrate and decompose upon contacting boiling water on the surface only.

Having employed the transitional probability model based on Markov chain, the study was carried out to examine successional trends for community types in the natural deciduous forest of Mt. Jumbong. The species composition of oncoming generation in overstory was estimated from that of mid-story, and the species composition in mid-story was based upon that of understory. Successional trend for each community was predicted from the reorganized probability matrix of tree replacement by the square of climax index, which was evaluated by the factors of light absorption, reproduction, and wood quality. As the result of analysis, following table shows the oncoming generation of steady state and dominant species in overstory and mid-story by community types. Even though Acer pseudo-sieboldianum and Carpinus cordata could hardly reach the canopy layer due to the intrinsic growth form, these species were predicted to maintain high compositional ratio so as to play an important ecological role in the study forest ecosystem.

A large optical surface is fabricated by grinding, polishing and figuring. The grinding process is the most rapid and has the largest amount of fabrication of all processes. If we measure the surface precisely and rapidly in the grinding process, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the fabrication process. Since the surface of grinding process is rough and not shiny, it is not easy to measure the surface using light so that we cannot use an interferometer. Therefore, we have to measure the surface using a mechanical method. We can measure the surface under the grinding process by using a laser tracker which is a portable 3-dimensional coordinate measuring machine. In this paper, we used the laser tracker to measure the surface error of 1 m diameter spherical mirror. This measurement result was compared to that of an interferometer. As a result, surface measurement error was found to be $0.2{\mu}m$ rms (root mean square) and $2.7{\mu}m$ PV (Peak to Valley), which is accurate enough to apply to the rough surface under the grinding stage.
