Zirconia has white color and physical, chemical stability, also using in high temperature materials and various industrial structural ceramics such as heat insulating materials and refractories due to their low thermal conductivity, excellent strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. If hydrophobically modified zirconia is introduced into a hydrophobic acrylate coating solution, the hardness, chemical, electrical, and optical properties will be improved due to the better dispersibility of inorganic particle in organic coating media. Thus, we introduced $-CH_3$ group through silylation reaction using either trimethylchlorosilane(TMCS) or hexamethyldisilazane(HMDZ) on zirconia surface. The $Si-CH_3$ peaks derived from TMCS and HMDZ on hydrophobically modified zirconia surface was confirmed by FT-IR ATR spectroscopy, and introduction of silicon was confirmed by FE-SEM/EDS and ICP-AES. In addition, the sedimentation rate result in acrylate monomer of the modified zirconia showed the improved dispersibility. Comparison of the sizes of a pristine and the modified zirconia particles, which were clearly measured not by the normal microscope but by particle size analysis, provided a pulverizing was occurred by physical force during the silylation process. From the BET analysis data, the specific surface area of zirconia was approximately $18m^2/g$ and did not significantly change during modification process.

Graphene has been reported to be an excellent lubricant additive that reduces friction and wear when coated on the surface of various materials or when dispersed in lubricants as an atomic thin material with the low surface energy. In this study, alkyl functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) nanosheets for oil-based lubricant additives were prepared by using three types of alkyl chloride chemicals (butyl chloride, octyl chloride, and tetradecyl chloride). The chemical and structural properties of the synthesized FGOs were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The synthesized FGOs were dispersed at 0.02 wt% in PAO-0W40 oil and its tribological characteristics were investigated using a high frequency friction/wear tester. The friction coefficient and the wear track width of poly alpha olefin (PAO) oil added with FGO-14 were tested by a ball-on-disk method, and the measured results were reduced by ~5.88 and ~3.8%, respectively compared with those of the conventional PAO oil. Thus, it was found that the wear resistance of PAO oil was improved. In this study, we demonstrated the successful functionalization of GO as well as the improvement of dispersion stability and tribological characteristics of FGOs based on various alkyl chain lengths.

In this study, silicon sludge generated in semiconductor manufacturing process is recycled and applied as materials for pigments and paints. In detail, metallic impurities are removed from silicon sludge to obtain plate-like silicon sludge powder (SW-sludge), which is then coated with titanium dioxide via sol-gel method (TCS-sludge). SW-sludge and TCS-sludge are dispersed in hydrophilic transparent varnish and sprayed onto glass substrates to observe the possibility for the application as materials for pigments and paints. Notably, the applicability of TCS-sludge-based paint is improved compared to SW-sludge-based paint after the titanium dioxide coating. Moreover, the color of TCS-sludge-based paint turns into white. Accordingly, it is confirmed that the applicability and hydrophilicity are improved by the presence of outer titanium dioxide layer. In this regard, it is expected that the recycled TCS-sludge may be a future material for the application as pigments and paints.

In this study, we produced heat-shield coating materials using surface-treated Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) and investigated the dispersity of particle, visible light transmittance, ultraviolet light cut off, infrared light cut-off, heat-shielding property by surface-treating compounds and treatment conditions. In the case of using IPA or acryl binder for heat-shield coating, the dispersity of inorganic oxide particles was poor but in the case of using surface-treated inorganic oxide particles by hybrid compound having urethane (urea) group, acryl group and silica, dispersity of particle, visible light transmittance and haze were improved. We used the measurement kit and sunlamp for measuring heat-shielding property and confirmed that the internal temperature of the measurement kit using heat-shield film was lower more than $4.8^{\circ}C$ in comparison with using PET film for itself.

In this study, we analyzed the heat generation state of a flat heating element by using image processing technology in conjunction with carbon fiber. The flat heating element is manufactured by chopping the carbon fiber to a small size and bonding it again using a dispersing agent. The solution of carbon fiber, bound together using the dispersant, is then filtered onto the nonwoven fabric. The last step is to obtain flat carbon fibers in the form of nonwoven fabrics for the purpose of drying the filtered carbon fibers. In the flat heating element, electricity may be applied to the carbon fiber on the surface produced in this manner. In this study, the flat heating element was analyzed by four methods. The analysis of the heat generation characteristics and heating rate of the flat heating element confirmed that the fabricated sheet heating element corresponds to a normal army. The analysis of the insulation coating and flat heating element module, which can be used for actual product manufacturing, involves two dimensional image analysis using image processing technology. The thermal image analysis of the flat heating element is a programming technique that not only analyzes the heat generation state in both two and three dimensions, but also displays the upper and lower 15 to 20% ranges of temperature corresponding to the heat generation in the image. In the final analysis, it is possible to easily find the erroneous part in the manufacturing process by directly showing the state of the fabricated flat heating element on the screen. By combining this image analysis method of the flat heating element with the existing method, we were able to more accurately analyze the heat generation state.

나노테크놀로지는 종래의 가공으로는 얻기 힘들었던 섬유가공 효과를 간단하게 할 수 있는 기술이다. 현재 각국의 기능성 나노 가공제를 섬유에 응용하는 나노 테크놀로지는 현재 공업 생산되고 있는 면, 모, 견 등의 천연섬유 및 polyester, Nylon 등의 합성섬유의 원단에 적용하는 데서 출발하고 있다. 이러한 나노기술은 기존의 설비와 물을 사용하는 것이 큰 특징이고, 특별한 기계장치가 필요하지 않으며, 소규모의 실험장비만 있어도 현장투입이 가능한 나노입자의 제조가 가능하기 때문에 대량생산이 용이하고 설비투자는 원칙적으로 필요하지 않는다. 또한, 나노입자의 분산을 제대로 시키면 그 사이즈가 빛의 가시광선 영역의 파장(400~800nm)에 비해 절반 수준이하 크기의 입자가 대부분을 차지하기 때문에 염색성, 태의 변화가 적어 앞으로 더욱더 나노테크놀로지에 의한 가공이 확대될 것이 예상된다. 특히 유 무기 하이브리드 재료는 용액상태에서 제조되기 때문에 용액 코팅공정의 적용이 가능하여 다양한 코팅에 적극적으로 활용되고 있다. 또한 코팅공정 온도가 상대적으로 낮아서, 유기물의 기능성 발현이 용이하며, 섬유가공에 그대로 적용이 가능하고, 섬유고분자와 내구성 있게 직접 결합이 되어 실용성이 높다 할 수 있다. 또한 나노졸의 형성 시, 혹은 나노졸에 기능성 물질을 첨가함으로서 나노졸과 기능성 물질을 복합화하여 섬유상에 부여하는 것도 가능하다. 최근에 실리카졸의 형성과 성장에 관한 연구는 졸-겔 기술의 발전과 해석 및 상용화에 집중되어 있다. 규산나트륨과 황산 또는 염산을 사용하여 실리카를 생성하는 공정은 tetraethoxysilane (($Si(OC_2H_5)_4$, (TEOS))를 이용하여 합성하는 방법과 달리 대량의 실리카를 경제적으로 생산하는데 방법으로 널리 연구되고 있지만, 많은 연구가 수행되었음에도 불구하고 실리카 졸의 특성, 성장, 제조에 대한 충분한 이해가 이루어 지지 않고 있어, 아직까지 나노크기의 입자를 제조하는 공정에 대해서는 경제성, 효율성, 품질의 균일성이 떨어지는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 앞서 연구된 졸-겔 합성기술과 저렴한 원료인 규산나트륨을 이용하여 보다 간단하고 경제적인 방법으로 고부가가치의 다양한 실리카 나노졸을 제조할 수 있는 연구를 하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 규산나트륨 수용액의 특성, 핵 생성에 필요한 규산나트륨 수용액의 산화반응 특성, 그리고 출발용액의 졸겔 반응을 기초로 하여 실리카 졸 형성에 대한 반응물질의 혼합방법, 반응온도, 반응물의 농도, pH등이 최종 실리카 나노졸 제품의 입자 크기와 모양 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하려고 하며 이를 토대로 다양한 크기와 특성을 가진 실리카 나노졸을 제조하였다.

The significance of thermoplastic polyolefin polypropylene (PP) lies in its potential to replace polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the most widely used material for automobile interiors (door trim, dash board), which discharges harmful compounds in certain conditions. Another benefit of PP (0.855 amorphous - 0.946 crystalline $g/cm^3$) is its low density compared to that of PVC ($1.1-1.45g/cm^3$), which reduces vehicle weight. Market demand for eco-friendly water-based adhesive/coating material is rising significantly as a substitute for solvent-based adhesive/coating material which emits VOC and causes harmful working conditions. Under such context, in this study, a series of eco-friendly waterborne polyurethane-urea primer (a paint product that allows finishing paint to adhere much better than if it were used alone) for hydrophobic PP were prepared from different mix of DMPA content, NCO/OH molar ratio, various wt% of silicone diol and various soft segment content, among which DMPA of 21 mole %, NCO/OH molar ratio of 1.2, modified silicone diol of 5 wt% and soft segment content of 73 wt% led to good adhesion strength. Additionally, the incorporation of optimum content of additives (0.5 wt% dispersing agent, 0.5 wt% levelling agent, 1.5 wt% antifoaming agent, 3.0 wt% matting agent) into the optimum waterborne polyurethane-urea also enabled good stability, levelling, antifoaming and non-glossy.

In this work, we observed the effect of silica, zinc oxide, zinc ion coated silica on carboxylic acid modified styrenic thermoplastic elastomer (m-TPS) film for friction-induced surface fracture. m-TPS film added general silica showed poor mechanical properties, anti-abrasion and friction-induced surface fracture, caused by strong filler-filler interaction of silica. In case of m-TPS films added zinc oxide or zinc ion coated silica, mechanical properties, anti-abrasion and friction-induced surface fracture were improved due to forming ionic cluster between carboxylic acid group of m-TPS and zinc ion. Ionic cluster were confirmed by FT-IR analysis that observed zinc carboxylated group stretch peak at $1550{\sim}1650cm^{-1}$.

CNT 나노기술을 응용한 IT산업용 적층간지용 ESD(정전방전, Electrostatic Dissipation)PU 발포필름의 제조 가공기술 및 상품화 개발은 전자제품 패키지에 요구되는 쿠션성과 정전방전 기능을 갖는 폴리우레탄 발포 필름의 제조기술을 확립함으로써 가능 할 수 있다. 특히 IT산업용 필름제품이 개발되면 ESD 성능을 발휘하게 됨으로서 정전기 쇼크에 의한 각종 전자제품의 오작동이나 파손 방지가 가능하게 되어 포장재, 자동차, 전자제품의 하우징 등으로 사용될 수 있게 된다. 현재까지 ESD 기능을 부여하기 위해서 사용되는 충전재로는 금속섬유, 금속플레이크, 탄소섬유, 카본블랙 등이 있으며, 최근 탄소나노튜브를 응용한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있는데 탄소나노튜브는 직경이 수십nm, 종횡비 1000이상의 나노섬유형태로 서 전기전도성이 구리수준으로 알려져 있고 소량을 충전할 시 기계적 특성도 오히려 증대하는 장점을 가지고 있으며 전기적 특성으로는 상대적으로 낮은 나노튜브 함량에서는 ESD를 들 수 있고 높은 함량에서는 전자파 차폐성까지 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우수한 인장강도, 기계적 강도, 열적 안정성, 내약품성을 가지면서 습식 또는 용융공정을 통해 용이하게 시트, 필름, 코팅제를 제조할 수 있는 방수, 투습방수성을 가지는 유연재료인 폴리우레탄(PU) 1액형 PU에 MWNT 함량이 3wt%인 IPA/MWNT 분산용액을 PU 함량 대비 20, 30, 40파트로 함유시켜 $120^{\circ}C$에서 2분 건조시켜 제조한 그라운드 필름에 2액형 PU와 IPA/MWNT 분산용액에 발포제를 첨가하여 발포온도 140, 150, $160^{\circ}C$에서 5분간 건조시켜 시료 필름을 제조하였다. 제조된 필름의 전기전도성 측정은 부피저항과, 표면저항을 각각 측정하여 확인하였으며, 필름의 마찰 대전압은 E.S.T-7 마찰 대전압 시험기를 이용하여 표면 마찰 대전압과 반감기를 측정하여 확인하고, 필름의 물리적 특성은 인장시험기를 이용하여 breaking stress, breaking strain을 구하였다. 필름의 표면 특성은 영상 현미경 시스템을 사용하여 ${\times}1000$ 배율로 측정하여 분산특성과의 연관성을 확인하였다.
