The surface resistance of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT/PSS), which has appeared to be one of the most successful conductive polymers, is affected by the solvent. In this paper, pellet-type PEDOT/PSS was suspended in $H_2O$, ethanol (EtOH), ethylene glycol (EG) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and coated on PET film. The surface resistances of the films made from EG or DMSO suspension were observed to be lower, nearly by 2 orders of magnitude, than that made from $H_2O$ suspension. No significant difference among four kinds of films was observed when the thermal properties and chemical structures were investigated by TGA and XPS, respectively. However, particle size of PEDOT/PSS was in the range of $1-3{\mu}m$ in EG or DMSO, on the other hand, less than $0.1{\mu}m$ in $H_2O$. It is considered that the particle size of PEDOT/PSS in the suspension plays an important role for the surface resistance.

A hydrothermal process was used to synthesize dioctahedral smectite from dickite [$A1_2$$Si_2$$O_{5}$ $(OH)_4$], Dickite was previously activated by heating at $800^{\circ}C$ far 4 hours with $Na_2$$CO_3$. After the heat-treatment, $SiO_2$ was added for stoichiometry, The autoclaving was carried out in closed stainless steel vessel (about 1 liter) at the condition of various temperature, pressure, time etc. High quality smectite could be obtaind by heating at $290^{\circ}C$ under the pressure of 60 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 48 hours. This experiment reveals that pH of the solution was an important factor and should be maintained at 10 to 11 for the formation of dioctahedral smectite. The synthesized smectite was identified as Na-beidellite by the treatment of ethylene glycol and Greene-Kelly test.

The mechanical properties (tensile strength, 100% modulus and hardness) of the urethane elastomers prepared from hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), several low molecular weight diols (ethylene glycol, 1, 3-propane diol, 1,4-butane diol, 1,5-pentane diol and 1,6-hexane diol) and two kinds of diisocyanates(TDI: toluene diisocyanate, IPDI: isophorone diisomechanical properties were enhanced for the increases of the concentrations of the urethane group, as predicted. In case of TDI, when the mechanical properties of the elastomers were plotted patterns were observed, which can be explained by hydrogen bondings depending on the number of the methylene carbons. But the mechanical properties of the elastomers derived from IPDI had decreasing curves against the number of methylene carbons in low molecular weight diols, without the characteristic zigzag patterns.

As a preceding process for preparing several micrometer sized Ag-coated Cu flakes, ball milling of submicrometer-sized Cu particles synthesized through a wet chemical method was performed in order to convert the particles into flakes. To suppress oxidation and aggregation of the particles during ball milling, ethylene glycol and ethyl acetate were used as a medium and a surface modifying agent, respectively. Results obtained with different rotation speeds of a jar indicated that the rotation speed changes a rotating mode, and strikingly alters the final shapes and shape uniformity of Cu particles after milling. The diameter of zirconia ball was also confirmed. Although there was aggregates in the initial submicrometer-sized Cu particles, therefore, well-dispersed Cu flakes with a size of several micrometers were successfully prepared by ball milling through optimization of rotation speed, amount of ethyl acetate, and diameter of zirconia ball.

This paper presents the experimental results on the properties of the cement mortar with polycarboxylate-type superplasticizers PCA) which were synthesized by different mole ratio of methoxypoly(ethyleneglycol)monomethacrylate (MPEGMAA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) and by different length of polyethyleneoxide (PEO). As the PEO chain was longer and mole ratio of [MPEGMAA]/[MAA] was lower, the fluidity of cement mortar was better. The setting time of mortar with PCA was retarded, and as PEO chain was shorter and [MPEGMAA]/[MAA] was lower, it was more retared. Espeacially, when the molecular weight of MPEGMAA was 475(repeat unit of ethylene oxide=l0), the degree of retardation was the highest of them. The surface tensions of PCA solutions were lower than that of water due to the effect of PEO chain, and also the pore size distribution of cement mortar was influenced by it. The pores in cement mortar with PCA at 28 days were macropores in the range of 7 to 370$\mu\textrm{m}$, and accordingly, the densities and compressive strengths of mortar were lower than those of OPC mortar.

[ $Cu_2O$ ] and Cu have been synthesized from the layered organic-inorganic hybrid, $Cu_2(OH)_3(CH_3COO){\cdot}H_2O$, assisted by microwave irradiation. $Cu_2O$ is formed in aqueous glucose solution, while metallic Cu is formed in ethylene glycol by reduction of $Cu_2(OH)_3(CH_3COO){\cdot}H_2O$. The influence of microwave irradiation time and concentration of glucose on $Cu_2O$ particles formation and growth has been examined. The morphologies of $Cu_2O$ particles change from spheres with a few fm size to nanowires with diameter of 40 nm as increasing the microwave irradiation times.

This study attempted to examine a method of anti-freezing on a plate-type heat exchanger in a low-temperature environment. Freezing condition was observed after ultrasonic waves were generated. Data were recorded to determine the optimal conditions for freezing. Ethylene glycol, which is commonly used in antifreeze formulations, was used as the brine, and the temperature was varied between -8 and $-16^{\circ}C$. The water for freezing provided by the thickness of 1-3 mm. In addition, experiments were conducted by adjusting the output to identify the changes that occurred due to the incidence of ultrasonic energy. The results of the anti-freezing effect were brine temperature, freezing thickness, and frequency band of ultrasonic waves.

1999년 Zwilling 등은 타이타늄과 타이타늄 합금위에 불산을 포함하는 산성 전해질에서 양극산화 방법에 의해 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브를 형성시켰다. 그러나 HF의 강한 용해성으로 인해 튜브의 길이를 500 nm이상 성장 시킬 수 없다는 문제점을 가지고 있었고 그 후에 HF대신에 전해질에 $NH_{4}F$를 혼합하여 pH를 조절하는 방법으로 $TiO_2$가 용해되는 속도를 감소시켜 약 $2{\sim}4$배 더 크게 성장 시킬 수 있다고 보고한 바 있지만 수 ${\mu}m$ 이상의 길이로는 성장 시킬 수 없다는 한계를 가지고 있었다. 최근에는 불소이온을 포함하는 점액질의 유기전해질에서 높은 종횡비, 40-60 nm의 작은 기공직경과 매끄러운 튜브벽을 가지는 수 um이상의 나노튜브를 성장 시키는 보고가 있으나 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브의 제조에 영향을 미치는 파라메타에 대한 연구가 아직 많지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전해질의 구성, 전압, 양극산화 시 교반의 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 불산과 에틸렌글리콜 전해질에서 형성된 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브의 비 표면적의 차이를 조사했고 튜브의 길이와 기공크기도 양극산화 시 인가전압과 전해질 구성에 따라 다른 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 포어 바닥에서 국부적인 산성화를 유발하는 타이타늄의 가수분해와 $TiO_2$의 용해는 산화피막층의 용해작용을 증가시키는 수소이온의 농도를 증가시고 그에 따라 인가접압이 증가함에 따라 전해질 내의 이온수송을 활발하게 하기 위한 구동력이 증가해 전류밀도가 높아지는 것으로 확인되었단. 또한 양극산화 동안 전해질을 교반 한 경우 그런지 않은 경우에 비해 전해질 내의 유속(mass flow)를 증가시켜 더 긴 나노튜브를 얻을 수 있었다.

[서론] Pure Ti 및 Ti합금의 양극산화법에 의해 만들 수 있는 자기조직화된 나노튜브피막은 광촉매, 태양전지 등 다양한 분야에서 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 양극산화법에 의해 생성되는 산화피막층의 성장거동에 대해서 지금까지 용액의 pH, 온도 및 인가전압 등 양극산화조건의 영향에 대해 많은 연구가 보고 되었다. 하지만, 양극산화에 사용되는 기판의 특성에 대해서는 많은 연구가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 pure Ti 및 Ti-Ni합금에 양극산화법에 의해 생성하는 나노튜브 피막층의 성장거동에 대해 기판의 특성(Ni농도 변화 및 phase변화)이 피막층의 형태 및 성장거동에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사 하였다. [실험방법] Sample은 pure Ti 및 Ti-xNi(x=49.0, 51.1, 52.2, 52.5 at.%)를 이용하였다. Ti-Ni합금은 아크용해로 제작 후 $1000^{\circ}C$ 에서 24시간 균질화 처리 후 20% 냉간압연을 하였다. 합금의 조성 및 결정구조 분석은 EPMA 및 XRD를 통해 조사 하였고, 양극산화는 미량의 물 및 불화암모늄을 포함한 에틸렌글리콜 용액에서 20, 35, 50V 20분간 실시하였다. 양극산화법에 의해 형성한 산화피막층은 FE-SEM 및 TEM을 통해 관찰 하였다. [결론] Pure Ti의 경우 모든 조건에서 나노튜브형태의 산화막이 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, Ti-Ni 합금의 경우 20V, 35V에서는 sponge 형태의 산화막이 형성되고, 50V에서만 나노튜브형태의 산화막이 형성 되었다. 또한, 모든 시편에서 양극산화 시간이 증가함에 따라 나노튜브형태의 산화막은 sponge 형태로 구조적 변화가 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 기판 Ni농도가 증가 함에 따라 형성되는 산화막의 형태 변화는 가속화 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 양극산화 초기 Ti의 우선적 산화에 의해 Ti과잉의 나노튜브층이 생성되고, 동시에 산화막과 합금계면에 Ni과잉층이 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 산화막과 합금계면에 생성된 Ni과잉층에 의해 양극산화 시간이 증가함에 따라 sponge형태의 산화막이 생성되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

For proper functioning, general machines usually need lubricant oil as a cooling, cleaning, and sealing agent at points of mechanical contact. The quality of lubricant oil can deteriorate during operation owing to various causes such as high temperature, combustion products and extraneous impurities. In this study, a heavy load stopped during operation, and the oil was analyzed to check whether any impurities were added. Extraction using acetonitrile followed by reaction with BSTFA(bistrimethylsilyl trifluoroacetamide) showed that, trimethylsilylated ethylene glycol was present in the lubricant oil. To quantify the ethylene glycol in the oil, deuterium-substituted ethylene glycol, which acted as an internal standard, was added to the sample and then extracted with the solvent. Next, the extract was reacted with the derivatizing agent(BSTFA) and then analyzed with GC/MS. The detection limit of this method was found to be $0.5{\mu}g/g$ and the recovery of oil containing $20,000{\mu}g/g$ of ethylene glycol was measured to be 94.8%. A damaged O-ring and eroded cylinder liner were found during the overhaul, which implied the leakage of coolant containing ethylene glycol into the lubricating system. The erosion of the cylinder liner was assumed to be due to cavitation of the coolant in the cooling system.
