In this study, we prepared phosphorous flame-retarding coating solutions by mixing triphosphate (3 phosphonate), phytic acid (6 phosphonate), or ammonium polyphosphate (10 phosphonate) with boric acid as a crosslinking agent and acryl resin binder. Prepared phosphorous flame-retarding coating solutions were coated onto non-woven fabrics, respectively, to obtain high flame-retarding effects. These prepared flame-retardant non-woven fabrics were evaluated using smoke density standard test (ASTM E662), limit oxygen index standard test (ISO E622), and vertical burning standard test (UL 94). Their flame-retarding effects were affected by the number of phosphonate groups. Regardless of natural or synthetic binder resins, their effects showed the following order: ammonium polyphosphate > phytic acid > triphosphate. Natural hydrocarbon compounds were also examined to determine the possible retardancy of binder resins. Results showed that natural hydrocarbon binder resins could be used for preparing fire-retardant nonwoven fabrics.

A sandwich panel is a composite material composed of a double-sided noncombustible material and insulation core which is used in the inner, outer walls, and roof structure of a building. Despite its excellent insulation performance, light weight and excellent constructability, a flame is brought into the inside of the panel through the joint between the panels, melting the core easily and causing casualties and property damage due to the rapid spread of flame. The current Building Law provides that the combustion performance of finishing materials for buildings should be determined using a fire test on a small amount of specimen and only a product that passes the stipulated performance standard should be used. This law also provides that in the case of finishing materials used for the outer walls of buildings, only materials that secured noncombustible or quasi-noncombustible performance should be used or flame spread prevention (FSP) should be installed. The purpose of this study was to confirm the difference between the dangers of horizontal and vertical fire spread by applying FSP, which is applied to finishing materials used for the outer walls of buildings limitedly to a sandwich panel building. Therefore, the combustion behavior and effects on the sandwich panel according to the application of FSP were measured through the construction to block the spread of flame between the panels using a full scale fire according to the test method specified in ISO 13784-1 and a metallic structure. The construction of FSP on the joint between the panels delayed the spread of flame inside the panels and the flash over time was also delayed, indicating that it could become an important factor for securing the fire safety of a building constructed using complex materials.

This study presents analysis of fire hazard of electrical heating pad. In order to analyze fire hazard fire experimental and flammability experiment is conducted. The fire experiment is conducted to simulate normal condition and abnormal condition such as breakdown of thermostat. Vertical burning test(UL 94) is conducted for the fire retardant experiment. Kinds of electric heating pad used for experiment are electric mat, fabric pad, vinyl pad. The results show that fire hazard is high in case of breakdown of thermostat with the rating voltage supply. And Material of electric heating pad has not fire retardant performance.

Two-component polyurethane flame-retardant coatings were prepared by blending trichloro lactone modified polyesters (TAPTS) and isocyanate, Desmodur IL. Polycondensation reaction of trichlorobenzoic acid (TBA) as a flame-retardant component, and adipic acid with trimethylolpropane, polycaprolactone 0201, and 1,4-butanediol gave the corresponding TAPTs. The content of TBA was adjusted from 10 to 30 wt% in our experiment. It was found that various properties of these new flame-retardant coatings were comparable to other non-flame-retardant coatings. We also carried out three different tests for the measurement of flammability of flame -retardant coatings. The results of vertical burning test for the coatings containing more than 20 wt% of TBA were determined as 'no burn'. The results of flammability test for the coatings with 20 and 30 wt% of TBA contents indicated the limiting oxygen index (LOI) values of 25% and 27% respectively, which implied relatively good flame retardancy. They also showed the char length of 3.6-5.2 cm according to $45^{\circ}$ Meckel burner test, which can be classified as the first grade flame-retardant coatings.

Electromechanical Actuator(EMA) for flight vehicles generally serves to control the fin deflection angle or the thrust vector angle. This paper deals with design and development of EMA for both aerodynamic control and thrust vector control. In this paper, a novel compact EMA is proposed that can simultaneously control both the tail fin and the jet vane with one actuator and detach the jet vane after vertical launch and rapid turn of the flight vehicle so as to increase efficiency during flying to target. To do this, we designed the EMA using a push-push link mechanism and derived a mathematical model. The mathematical model is validated by comparing simulation result and experimental data. The performance and reliability of the proposed EMA have been verified through performance test, environmental test and ground test. The proposed EMA is expected to be useful as an EMA for flight vehicles because of its simple and compact structure, as well as its performance and reliability.

The aim of this study is to enhance the flame retardancy by the synergism effect of chlorine and phosphorus groups. The flame-retardant polyurethane coatings containing chlorine and phosphorus compounds were synthesized. After synthesizing the intermediate products of tetramethylene bis (orthophosphate) (TMBO) and neohexanediol trichlorobenzoate (TBA-adduct), the condensation polymerization was performed with four different monomers of two intermediates, 1,4-butanediol, and adipic acid to obtain four-component copolymer(TTBA). The two-component flame-retardant polyurethane coatings (TTBA-10C/HDI-trimer=TTHD-10C, TTBA-20C/HDI-trimer=TTHD-20C, TTBA-30C/HDI trimer=TTHD-30C) were obtained by curing reaction at room temperature with the synthesized TTBAs and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)-trimer as a curing agent. The obtained TTHDs were made into coating samples and used as test samples for various physical properties. The physical properties of the flame-retardant coatings containing chlorine and phosphorus groups were generally inferior to those containing only phosphorus group. Flame retardancy was tested by vortical and horizontal combustion method, and $45^{\circ}$ Meckel burner method. Since the retardancy of flame-retardant coatings containing chlorine and phosphorus groups was better than that containing only phosphorus group, it could be concluded that the retardancy by the synergism effect of chlorine and phosphorus groups exhibited.
