To give a positive effect on dispersion behavior of high performance fibers $Vectran^{(R)}$ in water with reference to wet-laid nonwoven technology, 9 kinds of sulfonate type anionic surfactants were chosen to study. After dispersion experiment, the number and the area occupied by fibers in each sample were counted and figured to calculate the index of dispersion in conjunction with quadrat analysis. Similar tendency was observed in the results of two experiments. The sample without addition of any surfactant resulted in the most aggregated dispersion behavior. As the length of alkyl group attached to sulfonate increases, the sample shows more dispersed behavior. The sample with the surfactant having the aryl group and the longer alkyl group shows the most dispersed behavior and it can be seen with the naked eye as well.

The effect of nanoscopic and microscopic Fe, $Fe_3O_4$, and Ni particles and their shapes and substrate materials on the heating behavior of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) adhesive films was investigated via induction heating. The heat generation tendency of $Fe_3O_4$ particles was higher than that shown by Fe and Ni particles in the TPU adhesive films. When the Fe and Ni particle size was larger than the penetration skin depth, the initial heating rate and maximum temperature increased with an increase in the particle size. This is attributed to the eddy current heat loss. The heating behavior of the TPU films with Ni particles of different shapes was examined, and different hysteresis heat losses were observed depending on the particle shape. Consequently, the flake-shaped Ni particles showed the most favorable heat generation because of the largest hysteresis loss. The substrate materials also affected the heating behavior of the TPU adhesive films in an induction heating system, and the thermal conductivity of the substrate materials was determined to be the main factor affecting the heating behavior.

나노입자는 벌크 재료와는 다른 광학적, 전기적, 촉매적 특징 때문에 최근 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 나노유체의 성질은 나노입자의 크기와 형상, 분산성등과 같은 여러 요인에 의해서 결정되어진다. 이러한 나노입자의 특징 때문에 여러 응용분야에서 활용되어지고 있다. 예를 들면, 일반 유체에 나노입자를 분산시키면, 열전도도와 대류열전달효과가 증대되어 진다. 이러한 나노유체의 제조법으로는 크게 두 가지로 분류되어 있다. 투스텝법은 환원법 혹은 기계적으로 제작한 나노입자를 일반 유체에 혼합시킨 후 분산을 시켜 제조하는 제조법이다. 원스텝법은 투스텝법과는 달리 한번에 나노유체를 제조하는 제조법이다. 일반 유체에서 나노유체를 제조함과 동시에 분산을 시켜서 제조한다. 최근, 유체내에서 나노유체를 제조함과 동시에 분산을 시켜 나노유체를 제조하는 새로운 기술인 유체 플라즈마법이 개발되었다. 하지만, 유체 플라즈마의 일반적인 거동과 해석이 명확하게 규명되지 않은 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 유체 플라즈마의 발생 메카니즘 규명을 위한 방전 시간, 전압, 단극 직류 전력, 극간거리에 따른 유체 플라즈마의 특징을 OES와 오실로스코프를 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한, 제조된 나노유체의 특징을 UV-vis nir spectropgotometer, HR-TEM, zeta-potential, EDS, ICP-OES, KD2 pro and lambda로 측정하였다. 유체 플라즈마를 각 조건에 따라 발생시켰고, 나노유체를 성공적으로 제조하였다. 유체 플라즈마의 주요 발생 원소는 산소와 수소이온으로 측정되었다. 유체 플라즈마의 강도는 전기에너지가 증가함에 따라서 증가함으로 측정되었다. 제조된 나노입자의 크기는 유체 플라즈마의 강도가 증가함에 따라서 감소하였고, 대부분의 나노입자의 형상은 구형으로 제조되었다. 나노유체의 분산안정성 또한 유체 플라즈마의 강도가 증가함에 따라서 증가하였다. 직경이 $18.1{\pm}5.0$ nm인 나노유체의 열전도도는 3%로 측정되었다. 유체 플라즈마에 의한 나노유체의 제조 메카니즘을 다음과 같이 제안한다. 유체내에서 전기에너지 인가에 따른 이온과 전자의 흐름은 유체 플라즈마를 발생시킨다. 기본 유체는 물이므로 유체 플라즈마의 주요 발생 원소는 수소와 산소이며, 인가되는 전기에너지량이 증가함에 따라서 이온과 전자의 흐름이 증가됨으로서 유체 플라즈마의 강도가 증가함으로 추측한다. 유체 플라즈마 발생은 전자의 흐름과 관계되어진다. 따라서, 유체내에 존재하는 전구체에 전자가 제공되어짐에 따라서 금 입자를 환원시켜 입자가 형성된다. 또한, 유체 플라즈마는 나노입자를 음전하로 대전시켜 분산안정성의 확보가 되는 것으로 추측되어진다.

Iron (hydro)oxides in aqueous environments are primarily formed due to mining activities, and they are known to be typical colloidal particles disturbing surrounding environments. Among them, hematites are widespread in surface environments, and their behavior is controlled by diverse factors in aqueous environments. This study was conducted to elucidate the effect of environmental factors, such as ionic composition and strength, pH, and natural organic matter (NOM) on the behavior of colloidal hematite particles. In particular, two analytical methods, such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) and single-particle ICP-MS (spICP-MS), were compared to quantify and characterize the behavior of colloidal hematites. According to the variation of ionic composition and strength, the aggregation/dispersion characteristics of the hematite particles were affected as a result of the change in the thickness of the diffuse double layer as well as the total force of electrostatic repulsion and van der Walls attraction. Besides, the more dispersed the particles were, the farther away the aqueous pH was from their point of zero charge (PZC). The results indicate that the electrostatic and steric (structural) stabilization of the particles was enhanced by the functional groups of the natural organic matter, such as carboxyl and phenolic, as the NOM coated the surface of colloidal hematite particles in aqueous environments. Furthermore, such coating effects seemed to increase with decreasing molar mass of NOM. On the contrary, these stabilization (dispersion) effects of NOM were much more diminished by divalent cations such as Ca²⁺ than monovalent ones (Na⁺), and it could be attributed to the fact that the former acted as bridges much more strongly between the NOM-coated hematite particles than the latter because of the relatively larger ionic potential of the former. Consequently, it was quantitatively confirmed that the behavior of colloidal hematites in aqueous environments was significantly affected by diverse factors, such as ionic composition and strength, pH, and NOM. Among them, the NOM seemed to be the primary and dominant one controlling the behavior of hematite colloids. Meanwhile, the results of the comparative study on DLS and spICPMS suggest that the analyses combining both methods are likely to improve the effectiveness on the quantitative characterization of colloidal behavior in aqueous environments because they showed different strengths: the main advantage of the DLS method is the speed and ease of the operation, while the outstanding merit of the spICP-MS are to consider the shape of particles and the type of aggregation.

Ultrasonic guided waves are gaining increasing attention for the inspection of platelike and rodlike structures. At the same time, inspection methods that do not require contact with the test piece are being developed for advanced applications. This paper capitalizes on recent advances in the areas of guided wave ultrasonics and noncontact ultrasonics to demonstrate a superior method for the nondestructive detection of defects thinning simulating hidden corrosion in thin aluminum plates. The proposed approach uses EMAT(electro-magnetic acoustic transducer) for the noncontact generation and detection of guided waves. Interesting features in the dispersive behavior of selected guided modes are used for the detection of plate thinning. It is shown that mode cutoff measurements provide a qualitative detection of defects thinning. Measurement of the mode group velocity can be also used to quantify depth thinning.

Characteristics of size, rising velocity and distribution of liquid drops have been investigated in a immiscible liquid-liquid fluidized-bed whose diameter was 0.102 m and 2.5 m in height. Effects of velocities of dispersed (0~0.04 m/s) and continuous (0.02~0.14 m/s) liquid phases and fluidized particle size (1, 2.1, 3 or 6 mm) on the liquid drop properties in the extractor have been determined. The resultant flow behavior of liquid drops became more complicated with increasing the velocity of dispersed or continuous liquid phase. The resultant flow behavior of liquid complicated with increasing the velocity of dispersed or continuous liquid phase. The resultant flow behavior of liquid drops depended strongly upon the drop size and its distribution. The drop size increased with increasing dispersed phase velocity, but decreased with increasing particle size. However, the size of liquid drop exhibited a local maximum with increasing continuous liquid velocity. The size and rising velocity of liquid drops have been well correlated in terms of operating parameters.

The strength and thermal shock resistance of $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ composites have been studied. The tetragonal $ZrO_2$ powder containing 1 mol.% $Y_2O_3$ and monoclinic $ZrO_2$ powder were prepared by coprecipitation method and subsequently mixed with $Al_2O_3$ powder and granulated by sieving. Duplex composites were prepared by dry mixing matrix agglomerate with 15 to 30 vol.% of dispersion agglomerate, followed by pressing and sintering at 1$600^{\circ}C$ for1 hr. These $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ 2 composites having heterogeneous structure showed improved thermal shock behaviors because of the microcracking and pores in dispersed granules, and compressive stresses around dispersed granules resulting from $ZrO_2$ transformation.

일반적인 하천의 흐름방향으로 발생하는 주흐름(primary flow)에 중첩하여 주흐름 방향의 수직단면에 이차류(secondary flow)가 발생하게 되며 이러한 이차류의 발달은 투입된 오염물질의 횡혼합을 증대시킨다. 오염물질의 혼합은 이송(advection)과 확산(diffusion) 또는 분산(dispersion)의 과정으로 설명되며 본 연구에서는 수로전체의 혼합과정을 설명하기 위해서 이송 확산 방정식을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 실험수조를 $150^{\circ}$의 중심각을 갖는 S자 형태의 만곡수로를 제작하여 유량조건은 15, 30, $60\;{\ell}l/sec$의 세 가지 경우로, 수심은 15, 20, 30, 40 cm의 경우로 총 12 케이스의 실험을 수행하였다. 유속장의 측정은 Sontek사의 3차원 micro-ADV(Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter)를 이용하였다. 오염물질 확산실험은 소금물 용액에 주변수와의 밀도차를 없애기 위해서 메탄올 용액을 첨가하여 추적자로 이용하여 농도장의 분석을 일본 KENEK사의 전기전도도계(conductivity meter)와 Gartner사의 DAS(data acquisition system)를 이용하여 횡방향 유속장의 분포와 오염운의 거동을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻게 되었다. 주 흐름은 직선구간에서는 중앙에서 최대 유속을 나타내며, 좌우대칭적인 유속분포의 모습을 보이고, 만곡부에서는 수로안쪽을 따라 최대유속이 발생하였다. 수로의 직선구간에서는 최대유속이 발생하는 즉, 중앙에서의 오염물질의 분산이 가장 활발하게 이뤄졌으며 농도의 퍼짐형상인 오염운 역시 만곡부에서는 수로만곡부의 안쪽을 따라 확산 이동함을 알 수 있었다. 만곡부 외측에서는 오염물질의 정체현상이 일시적으로 발생하며, 유속구조의 횡방향 비대칭구조로 인한 종 횡방향의 분리현상이 발생하고, 오염운의 중첩현상이 종방향으로 연속되게 나타난다. 향후 수심방향 거동을 포함한 3차원적 분석이 요구되며 이 연구결과는 2차원적 수치해석의 적용 및 분석 자료로써 이용이 가능하다.

The track systems installed in Korea railway consist of two types on ballasted track or ballastless track. In this study, it was compared with difference of the behaviors at roadbed with cyclic loading through full scale model test. From the results of model tests, loading distribution ratio of the concrete slab track become more widely distributed than ballasted track, and loading distribution ratio at concrete track was about 30:20:15. The concrete slab track is likely to behavior of the rigid plate, while ballasted track is such as flexible pavement. The vertical stresses of upper roadbed with traffic cyclic loading in concrete track were measured about 30 kPa or less. It was a scene very similar to the results of the field train running test. The vertical stress at concrete track was occurred approximately 4 times smaller than ballasted track. Also, the soil velocities with cyclic loading at the slab track were occurred about 0.3 cm/sec or less, its 8 times smaller than ballasted track.

The polymer blends of waste poly(vinyl chloride) (RPVC) and waste polyethylene (RPE) were prepared by melt mixing. Their morphologies and rheological properties were investigated and torque changes were also measured. Comparing the torques calculated by the log additivity rule with measured torque changes, the polymer blends showed the large negative deviation behavior (NDB) due to their incompatibility. The shear viscosities of the blends decreased with increasing shear rates, showing shear thinning behavior. The shear viscosity of the blends with compatibilizer was larger than that of the blends without compatibilizer. SEM micrographs of the strands after measurement showed that the domain size of the blends was slightly enlarged with increasing the shear rate. Also, RPVC domain size was larger in the core-sections of the strands from capillary viscometer than in the surface region.
