Bond strength of $SrZrO_3$ resistive oxide barrier on Ag sheathed Bi(2223) tapes prepared by the sol-gel and dip-coating method was evaluated with an aid of Taguchi method and $L_18(2^1{\times}3^7)$ orthogonal arrays to determine the optimal process combination of levels of factors that best satisfy the bigger is better quality characteristic. The observed optimal condition is as follows: Sr/Zr mol ratio(0.3/0.7), amount of organic vehicle(5 wt%), drying temperature and time(160${\circ}C$, 10 min), heat treatment temperature and time(500${\circ}C$, 20 min), respectively. ANOVA analysis suggested that the influence of the factors within ${\alpha}$=0.1 was significant with a 90% confidence level.

On the basis of our previous research results concerning a batch Teflon coating process on the surface of basalt fiber which has superior fire-resistance and chemical resistance, we have tried to set up suitable operating conditions for continuous polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) coating process. The basalt fiber was continuously pre-treated with 7.5 wt%(6.5% of DPU) of triethoxytrifluoropropylsilane(TMTFPS) and then coated with 20 wt% of PTFE dispersions containing 0.25 wt% of penetrating agent sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfo succinate (DOS-Na) to get the highest tensile and loop strengths. After dipping process, the PTFE coated basalt fiber was dried under 2 m drying chamber at $120^{\circ}C$ with 12 m/min of winding speed and consequently sintered under 2 m sintering chamber at $380^{\circ}C$ for 40 s. Conclusively, PTFE coated basalt fiber whose tensile and loop strengths were to $3.4g_f/D$ and $2.3g_f/D$, respectively, applicable to high temperature sewing thread could be continuously prepared with our pilot scale process under optimum conditions.

The nano-composite membranes were prepared onto the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes through twice dip-coating known layer-by-layer method. For the first coating, poly(vinylsulfonic acid, sodium salt)(PVSA) and Poly(styrene sulfonic acid)(PSSA) were used with varying the concentration and ionic strength (IS) and the poly(ethyleneimine)(PEI) as the second coating material was fixed at 10,000 ppm and IS = 0.3. To characterize the prepared nano-composite membranes, the permeabilities and rejection ratio were measured for each 100 ppm NaCl, $CaSO_4$, $MgCl_2$, and 25 ppm MO aqueous solution. The rejections were increased as the concentrations of coating materials increased. And it was confirmed that the salt rejections for PSSA as the coating material were higher than for PVSA. Typically, the permeability, 1.848 LMH and the rejection for MO 76.3% were obtained at the coating conditions of PSSA 30,000 ppm and I.S = 1.0.

나노결정 합금재료를 전력선 통신 커플러용 자심재료로 응용하기 위해서는 고주파 대역에서의 손실 특성이 제어되어야 한다. 즉 고속 전력선 통신을 위한 자심재료의 투자율 및 완화 주파수 등의 전자기적 특성은 30MHz까지 우수하고 안정적으로 유지되어야 하며, 높은 투자율 및 자속밀도, 공진주파수뿐만 아니라 낮은 전력손실 값을 가져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 나노결점 합금 리본 표면에 딥 코팅, 졸-겔법, 진공함침 등의 방법을 이용하여 PZT, $TiO_2$ 및 $SiO_2$ 등의 산화물 고저항층을 형성시켜 자기적 성질을 유지하면서 고주파 대역의 와전류 손실을 감소시켜 통신용 자심재료로의 응용성을 향상시키고자 하였다. PZT 슬러리의 제타전위 조절을 통해 최적의 분산조건을 얻을 수 있었고, 평균 150nm인 PZT 입자의 초미립자와 가소제, 분산제, 결합제의 첨가조건을 확립할 수 있었다. 딥-코팅은 슬러리 내 유지시간 10초, 인상속도 5mm/min로 30회 반복되었을 때 가정 우수한 특성을 나타내었으며, 고주파 대역에서의 손실 감소효과를 나타내었다. 그리고 졸-겔법에 의해 제조된 슬러리를 이용한 $TiO_2$와 $SiO_2$ 산화물 저항층 코팅을 통해 금속 알콕사이드의 혼합조건 및 저항층 형성용 슬러리의 제조조건을 확립하였고, 합금 리본표면에 균일하고 우수한 점착력을 가지는 저항층을 형성시킬 수 있었으며, 이에 따른 코어손실의 감소효과를 나타낼 수 있었다. 또한 진공 함침법을 통한 저항층 형성에서, $TiO_2$ 나노분말을 표면 저항층으로 코팅했을 때, 가장 높은 코어손실 감소효과를 나타내었다. 한편, 표면 저항층이 형성된 나노결정 합금으로 제조한 자심재료를 이용하여 전력선 통신용 비접촉식 커플러에의 적용과 시험을 통해 고주파 손실 감소효과에 의한 신호전송 특성과 전류특성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

This study compared dip-coating and in situ polymerization methods for the development of nanofiber-based E-textile using polypyrrole. Nanofiber webs were fabricated by electrospinning an aqueous poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution. Subsequently, the PVA nanofiber web underwent thermal treatment to improve water resistance. Dip-coating and in situ polymerization methods were used to deposit polypyrrole on the surfaces of the nanofiber web. An FE-SEM analysis was also conducted to examine specimen surface characteristics along with EDS and FT-IR that analyzed the chemical bonding between polypyrrole and specimens. The line resistance and sheet resistance of the treated specimens were measured. Finally, an electrocardiogram (ECG) was measured with textile sensors made of the polypyrrole-deposited PVA nanofiber webs. The polypyrrole-deposited PVA nanofiber webs fabricated by dip-coating dissolved in the dip-coating solution and indicated damage to the nanofibers. However, in the case of in situ polymerization, polypyrrole nanoparticles were deposited on the surface and inter-web structure of the PVA nanofiber web. The resistance measurements indicated that polypyrrole-deposited PVA nanofiber webs fabricated by in situ polymerization with an average sheet resistance of 5.3 k(Ω/□). Polypyrrole-deposited PVA nanofiber webs fabricated by dip-coating showed an average sheet resistance of 57.3 k(Ω/□). Polypyrrole-deposited PVA nanofibers fabricated by in situ polymerization showed a lower line and sheet resistance; in addition, they detected the electrical activity of the heart during ECG measurements. The electrodes made from polypyrrole-deposited PVA nanofiber webs by in situ polymerization showed the best performance for sensing ECG signals among the evaluated specimens.

As opposed to using fossil fuels, we need to use eco-friendly resources such as sunlight, raindrops and wind to produce electricity and combat environmental pollution. A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a device that converts mechanical energy into electricity by inducing repetitive contact and separation of two dissimilar materials. During the contact and separation processes, electron flow occurs owing to a change in electric potential of the contacting surface caused by contact electrification and electrostatic induction mechanisms. A solid-solid contact TENG is widely known, but it is possible to generate electricity via liquid-solid contact. Therefore, by designing a hydrophobic TENG, we can gather electricity from raindrop energy in a feasible manner. To fabricate the superhydrophobic surface of TENGs, we employ a dip coating technique to synthesize an octadecylamine (ODA)- and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based coating on polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The synthesized coating exhibits superhydrophobicity with a contact angle greater than 150° and generates a current of 2.2 ㎂/L while water droplets fall onto it continuously. Hence, we prepare a box-type TENG, with the ODA/PDMS coating deposited on the inside, and place a 1.5 mL water droplet into it. Resultantly, we confirm that the induced vibration causes continuous impacts between the ODA/PDMS coating and the water, generating approximately 100 pA for each impact.

Forward osmosis (FO) desalination system has been highlighted to improve the energy efficiency and drive down the carbon footprint of current reverse osmosis (RO) desalination technology. To improve the trade-off between water flux and salt rejection of thin film composite (TFC) desalination membrane, thin film nanocomposite membranes (TFN), in which nanomaterials as a filler are embeded within a polymeric matrix, are being explored to tailor the separation performance and add new functionality to membranes for water purification applications. The objective of this article is to develop a graphene nanocomposite membrane with high performance of water selective permeability (high water flux, high salt rejection, and low reverse solute diffusion) as a next-generation FO desalination membrane. For advances in fabrication of graphene oxide (GO) membranes, layer-by-layer (LBL) technique was used to control the desirable structure, alignment, and chemical functionality that can lead to ultrahigh-permeability membranes due to highly selective transport of water molecules. In this study, the GO nanocomposite membrane fabricated by LBL dip coating method showed high water flux ($J_w/{\Delta}{\pi}=2.51LMH/bar$), water selectivity ($J_w/J_s=8.3L/g$), and salt rejection (99.5%) as well as high stability in aqueous solution and under FO operation condition.

SrZrO$_3$ resistive oxides on Ag tapes were prepared by the sol-gel and dip coating method to investigate the effect of PVP content and drying condition on microstructure of the films. Although the film thickness increased with the addition of PVP, the amount of PVP and heat treatment were not effective to reduction of formation of microcracks at the films. However, lower drying temperature and longer drying time were beneficial to control the microcracks of the SrZrO$_3$ films, indicating that the microcracking of the films was governed primarily by the drying condition.

Many Korean domestic masonry structures constructed since 1970 have been found to be vulnerable to earthquakes because they lack efficient lateral force resistance. Many studies have shown that the brick and mortar suddenly experience brittle fracture and out-of-plane collapse when they reach the inelastic range. This study evaluated the seismic retrofitting of non-reinforced masonry with Hybrid Super Coating (HSC) and Cast, manufactured using glass fiber. Four types of specimen original specimen (BR-OR), one layered HSC (BR-HS-O), two-layered HSC (BR-HS-B), one layered HSC, and Cast (BR-CT-HS-O) were constructed and analyzed using compression, flexural tensile, diagonal compression, and triplet tests. The specimen responses were presented and discussed in load-displacement curves, maximum strength, and crack propagation. The compressive strength of the retrofit specimens slightly increased, while the flexural tensile strength of the retrofit specimens increased significantly. In addition, the HSC and Cast also produced a considerable increase in the ductile response of specimens before failure. Diagonal compression test results showed that HSC delayed brittle cracks between the mortar and bricks and resulted in larger displacement before failure than the original brick. The triplet test results confirmed that the bonding strength of the retrofit specimens also increased. The application of HSC and Cast was found to restrain the occurrence of brittle failure effectively and delayed the collapse of masonry wall structures.
