In this study, salt-water immersion tests were experimentally performed for up to 12 months to investigate the hygrothermal effect of salt-water environments on the mechanical properties of carbon/epoxy composites. The composites were manufactured by laminating prepregs composed of carbon plain-woven fabric and epoxy resin. The specimens were subjected to temperatures of 35, 55, and $75^{\circ}C$ while being exposed to the salt-water environments. Mechanical test results showed that the tensile modulus and tensile strength decreased at a small rate, and the compressive modulus and compressive strength decreased at a relatively larger rate, as the exposure temperature and time increased. The rate of decrease in compressive strength became larger as the exposure temperature became higher. This is because a higher environmental temperature accelerates the salt-water uptake; this, in turn, reduces the compressive strength more rapidly.

When wet soil overlies dry soil, which can be found in the infiltration test, the radar wave is not attenuated and guided within wet soil layer. This phenomenon is known to be the dispersive guided wave and happens when the thickness of upper wet layer is less than or comparable to the wavelength of radar wave. In this study, we have conducted the FDTD modeling and obtained the velocity dispersion curve to identify the dispersive guided wave through F-K analysis. This guided wave can be explained by modal propagation theory and a simple inversion code was developed to obtain the two layer's dielectric constants as well as layer thickness. By inverting the dispersion curve from synthetic modeling data, we could obtain the accurate dielectric constants and layer thickness. Moreover, we could enhance the accuracy by including the higher mode data. We expect this method will be very useful to get the quantitative property of subsurface when the condition is similar.

Morphological and physicochemical changes of a woman's virgin hair treated with various dye depths were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy and thermal analyzer. With the hair treated with the dye of the high brightness level, the speed of weight decrease was slower than compared with thermal analysis weight of a normal hair sample. We confirmed that the moisture content and protein composition of hair were changed depending on level depth of coloring agent. Moreover oxidative residues and dye molecules penetrated into the hair cause chemical changes of hair structure. As a result, the heat reaction speed of hair treated with high level coloring agent was made slower than normal hair.

To make the composite panels of wood particles and recycled plastics, the recycled polypropylene was used. In the composite panels the sizes of wood particles were 1/32", 1/4" and 1/2" mesh, and the composition ratios of the recycled plastics were 10%, 30%, 50% and 70%. The physical and mechanical properties of the composite panels were investigated. As the composition ratio of wood particle increases, the density increases, while it decreases at the same composition ratio because the size of wood particle increases. As the composition ratio of recycled polypropylene increases from 10% to 30%, both thickness swelling and water adsorption significantly decrease. As the composition ratio of recycled polypropylene increases, the modulus of rupture in bending strength increases, but the modulus of elasticity in bending strength decreases. SEM shows that the dissolved recycled polypropylene penetrates into tracheid and pit, and bonds mechanically to other wood particle and matrix to increase the bonding strength and improve the physical and mechanical properties of composite panel.

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.

가시광역에서 80% 이상의 높은 투과율과 전기전도성을 동시에 갖는 투명전도성 산화물(TCO) 박막은 LCD, PDP, OLED, 태양전지 등의 다양한 분야에 투명전극재료로서 사용되고 있다. 이들 TCO 박막은 Magnetron sputtering, Chemical vapor deposition, Pulse laser deposition, Ink jet등과 같은 다양한 방법으로 증착할 수 있지만, 대면적의 기판에 균일한 박막형성 및 박막과 기판의 높은 부착력등 양산성의 관점에서 우월성을 가지고 있기 때문에 생산라인에서는 DC magnetron sputtering법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 이 경우, 산화물 박막의 미세구조, 내부응력, 광학적 및 전기적 특성은 스퍼터링 과정에서 발생하는 고에너지 입자들의 기판입사 충격에 크게 의존하기 때문에 고품질의 TCO박막을 제작하기 위해서는 증착공정인자들의 제어는 매우 중요한 것으로 알려져 있다. 대표적 TCO박막재료로서 $In_2O_3$계, ZnO계 및 $SnO_2$계를 들 수 있으며, 이들 중에서 Sn을 $In_2O_3$에 치환고용시킨 ITO박막의 경우, 전기적 및 광학적 특성이 상대적으로 우수하기 때문에 실용화 TCO박막으로서 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 한편, Flexible display의 경우, 유연성의 폴리머기판위에 증착되는 TCO박막에 대하여 요구되는 특성으로는 높은 투과율 및 낮은 비저항은 물론, 박막표면의 평활도 (낮은 표면조도), bending에 대한 높은 기계적 특성 (낮은 내부응력), 수분침투에 대한 높은 barrier특성 및 저온공정 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나 높은 전기전도도를 가지는 ITO박막을 제작하기 위해서는 $200^{\circ}C$ 이상의 증착온도가 필요하며, 이때 얻어진 다결정의 ITO박막은 높은 표면조도 및 bending시에 낮은 기계적 내구성이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 한편, 기판가열 없이 증착한 비정질 ITO박막은 낮은 표면조도, 높은 엣칭속도 및 양호한 식각특성을 나타내지만, 상대적으로 높은 비저항 및 기판과의 낮은 부착력 등이 지적되고 있다. 따라서 본 강연에서는 비정질 ITO박막의 결정화 온도 (약 $160^{\circ}C$) 이상에서도 비정질 구조를 유지하기 때문에 낮은 표면조도와 높은 엣칭속도를 가지면서 상대적으로 전기적 특성과 기계적 내구성이 개선된 새로운 고온형 비정질 TCO박막에 대한 최근의 연구성과를 소개하고자 한다.

On steep hillslopes, saturation zone formations and subsurface flows were monitored through the observation systems of observation wells, tensiometers and trenches. By the 103 mm rain which had fallen on the hillslope with dry soil moisture, the saturation zone began to be formed at the top of hillslope during the rain and developed to be formed within a few hours after the end of rain on all hillslope. Subsurface water outflowed mainly from the soil profile of 0-40 cm depth, but did not outflow from the one of 40-80 cm depth. This saturation zone seemed to be formed by partially saturation of soil. This resulted for two reasons. Firstly, the saturation zone was formed by a smaller amount of rain than that required. Secondly the soil at a certain depth below the water table was unsaturated. Saturation zones formed by pre-rains responded rapidly to rains and subsurface water outflowed mainly from the soil profile of 40-80 cm depth simultaneously with the rising of the water level. The rates of subsurface discharge from the soil profile of 40-80 cm depth to the precipitation were related to the antecedent precipitation although the maximum water levels of saturation zone formed by four rains were similar.

The new asphalt surface reinforcement method (ASRM) is one of the preventive maintenance methods in asphalt concrete pavements. The adhesion performance of new ASRM satisfied the standard of non-slip pavement and bridge waterproofing materials. As a results of durability tests (as wheel load, rolling bottle and UV resistance test), the new ASRM showed sufficient resistance to traffic and environmental loads. The waterproof and chemical resistance tests of new ASRM were conducted to evaluate whether the pavement could be protected from water and chemicals and the performances of new ASRM were satisfactory. Furthermore, the new ASRM demonstrated some rejuvenation effects due to its toughness increases in recycled asphalt concrete mixture by 5% compared to the conventional hot mix asphalt mixture using reclaimed asphalt pavement. In conclusion, the new ASRM was evaluated to protect the asphalt concrete pavement and increase the lifetime.

Since the majority of streamflow during dry periods is provided by groundwater storage, the streamflow depends on a basin moisture state recharged from rainfall during wet periods. This hydrologic characteristics dives good condition to predict long-term streamflow if the basin state like groundwater recharge is known in advance. The objective of this study is to examine groundwater recharge effect to monthly streamflow, and to attempt monthly streamflow prediction using estimated groundwater recharge. The ground water recharge is used as an independent variable with streamflow and precipitation to construct multiple regression models for the prediction. Correlation analysis was performed to assess the effect of groundwater carry-over to streamflow and to establish the associations among independent variables. The predicted streamflow shows that the multiple regression model involved groundwater recharge gives improved results comparing to the model only using streamflow and precipitation as independent variables. In addition, this paper shows that the prediction model with the effect of groundwater carry-over taken into account can be developed using only precipitation.

최근 Flexible organic electronics 분야에 대한 관심과 더불어 소자의 산소 및 수분의 침투를 방지하기 위한 투습방지막 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Closed Drift Linear Source(CDLPS) 플라즈마 공정을 이용하여 저온 고속의 $SiO_xC_yH_z$ barrier flims 형성 연구를 진행하였다. HMDSO(hexamethyldisiloxane), TMS(trimethylsilane)와 산소를 기반으로 HMDSO/HMDSO+산소의 비율에 따라 $Si(-O_x)$ 변화에 따른 특성 평가를 진행하였다. X-ray photoelectrom spectroscopy(XPS) 및 Ft-IR spectrometer 측정 시 3.7% 비율에서 실리콘 원소가 산소 라디칼과 효율적인 반응을 함으로써 단일한 $SiO_2$ 박막이 형성됨을 확인 하였다. 그와 반면에 비율의 증가로 인해 다량의 HMDSO 물질이 주입 되었을 시 산소 라디칼과 충분히 반응 되지 못하여 $SiO_2$에 비해 $Si(CH)_x$ 가 많이 함량 된 Polymer like한 $SiO_x$가 많이 형성되었다. 박막의 증착율의 경우에는 3.7%에서 18%로 증가함에 따라 35 nm/min에서 180 nm/min의 증착율을 가지는 것을 확인 하였다. 3.7% 비율의 단일 $SiO_2$ 공정 조건으로 유기태양전지에 형성 하였을 시 소자의 에너지 변환 효율(PCE)이 변화 없는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 기존 공정에 비해 CDLPS 플라즈마 공정의 경우 유기소자에 플라즈마로 인한 열에너지나 이온 충격 에너지로 인한 영향 없는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 이런 장점을 통해 CDSPS를 이용한 공정 기술은 다양한 유기 소자의 barrier 형성 연구에 큰 도움이 될 것이다.
