Three reactive dichroic dyes with 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-triazine moiety were synthesized by reaction between dichroic dyes (such as congo red, direct black 22 or direct black 4) and cyanuric chloride. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films were dyed with the obtained three reactive dichroic dyes. After 400% drawing of the PVA films, their optical properties were compared with an iodine-doped PVA film prepared in the same condition. Durability test was performed at $50^{\circ}C$ in 85% of relative humidity for 120 hrs. We found that compared with the iodine-doped PVA polarizing film, the relative durability of the PVA polarizing film dyed with the reactive dichroic dyes was greatly improved.

We proposed a simple process of creating electroconductive textiles by using PEDOT:PSS(Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate))/non-oxidized graphene to coat polyamide or polyurethane knitted fabric for smart healthcare purposes. Electroconductive textiles were obtained through a coating process that used different amounts of PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene solutions on polyamide/polyurethane knitted fabric. Subsequently, the surface, electrical, chemical, weight change, and elongation properties were evaluated according to the ratio of PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene composite(1.3 wt%:1.0 wt%; 1.3 wt%:0.6 wt%; 1.3 wt%:0.3 wt%) and the number of applications(once, twice, or thrice). The specimens' surface morphology was observed by FE-SEM. Further, their chemical structures were characterized using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The electrical properties measurement (sheet resistance) of the specimens, which was conducted by four-point contacts, shows the increase in conductivity with non-oxidized graphene and the number of applications in the composite system. Moreover, a test of the fabrics' mechanical properties shows that PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene-treated fabrics exhibited less elongation and better ability to recover their original length than untreated samples. Furthermore, the PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene polyamide/polyurethane knitted fabric was tested by performing tensile operations 1,000 times with a tensile strength of 20%; Consequently, sensors maintained a constant resistance without noticeable damage. This indicates that PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene strain sensors have sufficient durability and conductivity to be used as smart wearable devices.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrode film has been widely adopted for the various applications such as display and electric vehicle. In this paper, we studied how to enhance the thermoforming stability of ITO film by applying the highly conductive Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) thin layer. Based on the change of sheet resistance value, the influence of the additional solvent with different boiling point was investigated for the PEDOT:PSS coating solution. In addition, by analyzing optical transmittance and Raman spectrum, we confirmed the key mechanism which determine the final electrical conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS on ITO film using an ethylene glycol solvent. The final ITO transparent electrode coated with PEDOT:PSS performed the outstanding endurance of electrical conduction even in 126% stretching condition.

The number of use cases in machinery, aviation, and other industries that manufacture precise parts is increasing, and the construction industry is also increasingly using 3D printing technology. Although various materials for 3D printing are currently being developed and utilized, 3D printing manufacturing has a problem that the mechanical properties of the product may change when compared with conventional manufacturing methods such as injection and molding. This paper verifies the effect of the printing orientation on the mechanical properties of the product in the manufacture of PA12 material and providing basic data on the practical use of the materials as building subsidiary materials and structural materials. The results of the experiment showed that the product printed in the orientation of 0° showed the lowest overall strength and elongation rate, and the product printed in the orientation of 45° showed the highest figure. Overall, tensile strength and yield strength increased between 0° and 45°, and tended to decrease somewhat at 45° to 90°.

Electrochemical synthesis of conductive polypyrrole films was carried out in nucleophilic solvent containing p-toluenesulfonic acid or bezensulfonic acid as supporting electrolyte and dopant. Also characteristics of degradation and improvement of mechanical properties were studied. The conductivity, tensile strength and elongation of the films obtained in dimethyformamide/p-toluenesulfonic acid had the highest value of 10-40S/cm, $25N/mm^2$ and 10%, respectively. The optimum condition of electrochemical synthesis was $2mA/cm^2$ for constant current method and 0.9V for constant potential method containing 0.5M pyrrole and 0.5M p-TSA. The obtained films showed good stability in air and electrode characteristics of secondary battery by reversibility in doping and undoping. The degradation process was 1st order reaction at various temeprature. The activation energy and rate constant of degradation reaction were $1.01JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$ and $3.1{\times}10^{-7}min^{-1}$ respectively at $25^{\circ}C$. For the improvement of mechanical properties, composition of polypyrrole films with various host polymer were investigated and increase of tensile strength and elongation was confirmed.

This paper reports the electrical conductivity and the stress-strain behavior of silver particle-filled silicone composite pastes for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gasket materials. The percolation threshold (critical concentration) of the composite paste obtained by incorporating irregular sphere-shaped silver particles and room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone resin was determined from the electrical conductivity result. At about 28 vol% Beading of untreated silver particles, the percolation phenomenon occurred and at this critical concentration, the volumetric resistivity, the tensile strength, and the elongation of the pastes were investigated. This work also suggests that the stress-strain characteristics of a composite paste filled with metal particles above the percolation threshold may be effectively improved by properly selecting a coupling agent.

Sol-gel process is relatively simple, easy to use, cheap to install, and results in thin coating layers with superior physical and gas barrier properties. Films coated by the sol-gel process can be used as insulating films or packaging films for foods, chemicals, drugs, and beverages, etc. In this study, alumina sol was synthesized from aluminum isopropoxide and silane coupling agent was added to make coating solutions. In addition, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) was coated using several alumina sol solutions and their oxygen permeabilities were measured. The experimental results indicate that in the best case, the oxygen permeability of coated film was reduced by 85% compared to that of pure BOPP.

This paper deals with the experimental results that apply to a new wire by an artificial flame-maker because it's difficult to directly analyze the characteristic of deterioration by a forest fire. Those results include tension load, extension rate and torsion number for a conductor. In addition, there's been an experiment and analysis about the mechanical characteristics of the wire of ACSR 480$\textrm{mm}^2$ which was removed from Pohang area by a forest fire. Then, the database will be made to predict the state of deteriorated wires by a forest fire using those two data, and data necessary to diagnose the life state of an ACSR wire affected by a forest fire will be given.

Fe-Cr-Mn계 스테인리스강을 진공 용해하여 최적 소둔 조건인 1,20$0^{\circ}C$에서 30분동안 소둔 열처리한 후 미세 조직, 기계적 특성 및 부식 특성에 미치는 시효 열처리의 영향에 대하여 실험하였다. 미세 조직 분석은 광학 현미경 관찰, XRD분석, SEM분석, TEM분석 등으로 행하였고, 기계적 시험은 인장 시험, 충격 시험, 경도 시험을 행하였다. 부식 저항성을 평가하기 위해 황산, 염산분위기에서 양극 분극 시험을 행하였다. 시효 열처리에 따른 미세 조직간의 상분율 변화는 거의 없었지만 입계를 중심으로 제2상이 석출되었고, 그 양은 시효 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 인장 강도 및 연신율은 낮은 시효 온도에서는 시효 온도와 시효 시간에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만 고온으로 갈수록 시효 시간이 증가함에 따라 다소 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 충격에너지는 1시간 시효시에는 시효 온도에 따라 큰 변화를 보이지 않았지만 10시간, 100시간 시효한 경우 시효 온도가 상승함에 따라 감소하였다. 이러한 경향은 고온에서 시효한 경우 입계성장이 가속화되어 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 시효 시간이 증가함에 따라 부식 환경에 관계없이 부식 저항성이 감소하였다. 85$0^{\circ}C$에서 시효한 경우 가장 우수한 내식성을 보였고, $650^{\circ}C$에서 낮은 내식성을 나타냈는데 이는 이 온도 구간에서 탄화물 등의 제2상의 석출에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

Poly lactic acid(PLA) and poly butylene adipate-co-terephthalate(PBAT) film was prepared using a twin extruder. PLA (25%) and PBAT (75%) were mixed with various ratio of chain extenders, such as $Joncryl^{(R)}$ and hexamethylene diisocyanate(HDI) to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of produced bio composite films. Tensile strengths of films were steadily increased with increasing ratio of chain extender. The tensile strength of control films was about 25 MPa, and the tensile strength of films with combined chain extenders was above 40 MPa. The films with $Joncryl^{(R)}$ resulted in improved tensile strength, while the film with HDI alone showed improved percent elongation at break. By adding chain extenders into PLA/PBAT resin, the cold crystallization temperature (Tcc) and decomposition temperature (Td) of the produced bio composite films increased. It revealed that the addition of two types of chain extenders was efficient way to get PLA/PBAT film with improved strength and elongation.
