In this study, effects of both the grafted ABS-g-MAH and the added graphene oxide (GO) on the impact strength of polycarbonate (PC)/poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) blends were discussed. The PC/ABS blends and PC/ABS/GO composites were fabricated by using twin screw extruder with ABS-g-MAH as a compatibilizer. The ABS-g-MAH was prepared by melting extrusion of ABS and maleic anhydride (MAH) with DCP (dicumyl peroxide) as an initiator using twin screw extruder and the synthesis of ABS-g-MAH was confirmed by the presence of carbonyl group (C=O) peak at $1780cm^{-1}$ of FT-IR spectrum. According to the thermal, rheological, and impact properties of PC/ABS blends, 5 phr (parts per hundred resin) of compatibilizer was chosen as an optimum content for the PC/ABS/GO composites. It was observed that the thermal decomposition of ABS/PC/GO composites increased with GO contents, but there was no significant changes or a decrease in the impact strength. Also the composite fabricated by ABS/GO showed small increase in the impact strength. From the result of the dynamic rheometer to observe the processing properties, the complex viscosities of PC/ABS blend including the compatibilizer increased, but the complex viscosities of composites added GO were not changed.

We investigated the effect of filler content on the thermo-mechanical properties of modified ACA composite materials by incorporation of non-conducting fillers and the reliability of flip chip assembly on organic substrates using modified ACA composite materials. For the characterization of modified ACA s composites with different content of non-conducting fillers, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA), dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), and thermo-mechnical analyzer (TMA) were utilized. As the non-conducting filler content increased, CTE values decreased and storage modulus at room temperature increased. In addition, the increase in the content of filler brought about the increase of Tg^{DSC}$ and $Tg^{TMA}$. However, the TGA behaviors stayed almost the same. Contact resistance changes were measured during reliability tests such as thermal cycling, high humidity and temperature, and high temperature at dry condition. It was observed that reliability results were significantly affected by CTEs of ACA materials especially at the thermal cycling test. Results showed that flip chip assembly using modified ACA composites with lower CTEs and higher modulus by loading non-conducting fillers exhibited better contact resistance behavior than conventional ACAs without non-conducting fillers.

Montmorillonite (MMT) modified with siloxane diamine was reacted with a reactant obtained from 4,4'-diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) and polyester type polyol, $Nippollan4010(\bar{M}_n2000)$. Finally, polyurethane (PU)/MMT composites were prepared by using 1,4-butane diol as a chain extender in $25\;wt\%$ solution of N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc). It was expected that these nanocomposites had superior exfoliation property to that of MMT dispersed polyurethanes produced by simple mixing due to insertion of siloxane main chain to the silicate interlayer of MMT. Extent of reaction and formation of final products were analysed by using FT-IR spectroscopy. Dispersion into the PU and intercalation of MMT were identified by applying X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Tensile data were acquired by universal test machine (UTM). Thermal stability and variation of surface energy were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) method and measurement of contact angle on the synthesized composites, respectively. As the results the organo-MMT modified with siloxane diamine in the PU composites has an intercalated structure relatively well-expanded rather than a completely exfoliated structure. The tensile strengths and the moduli for the PU/organo-MMT composites were drastically enhanced in comparison to those of $PU/Na^+-MMT$ composites.

Cryogenic LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) which is stored in the cylindrical storage tanks of $100,000m^3$ has very complex flow phenomena and the changes of thermal properties with exterior conditions and operation modes. These complex thermofluid behaviors are affected by the storage, exterior conditions of LNG, design specifications and heat transfer characteristics of tanks. Also, those have influence on the stable storage and supply of LNG in the storage tanks. Thus this study peformed the analysis on the 2-D heat transfer of the tank with exterior conditions, on the Cool Down Process in order to cool down the LNG Storage Tank at the initial normal state, and on the Filling Process considered for incoming and rising of LNG. The analysis on the Mixing LNG Storage was studied too. At last, the visualized program on the complex thermofluidodynamic analysis was developed on the basis of the above analyses. The development of this program becomes to be used to the basic design of the commercial tanks as well as to assure technical skill of the analysis on the thermal stability of the stored LNG in the LNG Storage Tank.

전자제품 패키지에 요구되는 쿠션성과 정전방전 기능을 갖는 폴리우레탄 발포 필름의 제조기술을 확립하게 되면 IT산업용에 적용 가능한 필름제품이 개발되어 ESD(정전방전, Electrostatic Dissipation) 성능을 발휘하게 됨으로서 정전기 쇼크에 의한 각종 전자제품의 오작동이나 파손 방지가 가능하게 되어 포장재, 자동차 전자제품의 하우징 등으로 사용될 수 있게 된다. 전도성 고분자인 Polyaniline (PANI)은 다른 여러 고분자와 비교하여 볼 때 다른 유형의 전도성 고분자보다 합성하기가 쉽고 높은 전기전도도를 보임은 물론 열적 및 대기 안정성이 우수하며 가격이 저렴한 장점을 가지고 있다. 본연구는 CNT 나노기술을 응용한 IT산업용 적층간지용 ESD PU발포필름의 제조 가공기술 및 상품화 개발을 수행하고자 방수, 투습방수성을 가지는 유연재료인 폴리우레탄(PU)의 1액형 PU와 DMF에 PANI의 함량을 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30wt%로 변화시켜 제조한 PANI/DMF 분산용액과 IPA/MWNT 3wt% 분산용액의 혼용비에 변화를 주어 $120^{\circ}C$에서 2분 건조시켜 그라운드 필름을 제조하였다. 그리고 2액형 PU와 IPA/MWNT 3wt% 분산용액과 발포제를 사용하여 발포온도 $150^{\circ}C$에서 5분간 건조시켜 발포필름을 제조하였으며 이들의 전기적 특성과 역학적 특성을 조사하였다. 제조된 필름의 전기전도성은 전기저항측정기 KEITHLEY 8009를 사용하여 부피저항과, 표면저항을 각각 측정하여 확인하였으며, 필름의 마찰 대전압은 E.S.T-7 마찰 대전압 시험기를 이용하여 표면 마찰 대전압을 측정하여 확인하고, 필름의 물리적 특성은 인장시험기를 이용하여 breaking stress, breaking strain을 측정하였다. 필름단면의 CNT 발포특성은 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 사용하여 측정하여 발포특성과 물성과의 연관성을 확인하였다. 그 결과 필름의 전기적 특성은 PANI가 30% 함량일 때 전반적으로 낮은 저항값이 측정되었으며, 마찰대전압을 측정한 결과 대부분의 시료가 0에 가까운 낮은 값을 가졌다. 필름의 물리적 인장특성은 PANI가 10wt%의 함량일 때 가장 높은 절단강도를 가졌으며 분산용액의 혼용비에 따른 경향성은 나타나지 않았다. 필름의 단면형상을 확인하여 발포특성을 분석한 결과 PANI의 함량에 따라 발포 cell의 크기는 뚜렷한 경향성을 보이지 않았으나 30wt%의 PANI/DMF 분산용액 20part(gr)와 3wt% IPA/MWNT 분산용액 40part(gr)로 제조한 시료의 cell이 가장 균일하고 고르게 발포되었으며, 3.90E+06ohm으로 가장 낮은 표면저항 값으로 측정되어 가장 좋은 전기전도성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

In order to improve the efficiency of methane steam reforming process, a part of the system which produces hydrogen from heavy hydrocarbon resources such as coal, we combined metal catalyst with CaO sorbent and fabricated catalyst/sorbent. To increase the porosity and the compressive strength of sorbent, carbon black and ${\alpha}-alumina$ were mixed with CaO powder during preparation. The effects of sorbent composition on the physical properties were investigated by SEM, TGA, BET, XRD, abrasion strength measuring device and adsorption-desorption instrument. Sorbent with 5 wt％ $Al_2O_3$ and 10 wt％ carbon black showed the best physical features with $7.61kg_f$ strength and 47％ $CO_2$ adsorption capability. Various metal catalysts such as Ni, Co and Fe were supported on the sorbent developed and 10 wt％ Ni/sorbent was selected for methane steam reforming process based on the result of reaction experiment. The reaction system using the catalyst/sorbent showed better $H_2$ productivity compared to the detached system with catalyst and sorbent, indicating the effectiveness of the system developed in this study.

Soil freezing is a phenomenon arising due to temperature difference between atmosphere and ground, and physical properties of soils vary upon the phase change of soil void from liquid to solid (ice). A heat-transfer mechanism for this case can be explained by the conduction in soil layers and the convection on ground surface. Accordingly, the evaluation of proper thermal properties of soils and the convective condition of ground surface is an important task for understanding freezing phenomenon. To describe convection on ground surface, simplified coefficient methods can be applied to deal with various conditions, such as atmospheric temperature, surface vegetation conditions, and soil constituents. In this study, two methods such as n-factor and convection coefficient for the convective ground surface boundary were applied within a commercial numerical program (TEMP/W) for modeling soil freezing phenomenon. Furthermore, the numerical results were compared to laboratory testing results. In the series of the comparison results, the convection coefficient is more appropriate than n-factor method to model the convective boundary condition.

In this work, the effect of chemical treatments on surface properties of SiC was investigated in thermal and mechanical interfacial behaviors of SiC/PMMA nanocomposites. The acid/base value, contact angles, and FT-IR analysis were performed for the study of surface characteristics of the SiC studied. The thermal stabilities of the SiC/PMMA nanocomposites were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Also the mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were studied in critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$) and critical strain energy release rate ($G_{IC}$) measurements. As a result, the acidically treated SiC (A-SiC) had higher acid value than that of untreated SiC (V-SiC) or basically treated SiC (B-SiC). The acidic solution treatment led to an increase in surface free energy of the SiC, mainly due to the increase of its specific component. Thermal and mechanical interfacial properties of the SiC/PMMA nanocomposites, including initial decomposition temperature (IDT), $K_{IC}$, and $G_{IC}$ had been improved in the acidic treatment on SiC. This was due to the improvement in the interfacial bonding strength, resulting from the acid-base interfacial interactions between the fillers and polymeric matrix.

In this study, various polyimide films were synthesized via low temperature cure in order to understand changes in their physical properties when using 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) as a diamine and dianhydride molecules with different backbones on a single diamine such as 4,4'-Oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA), 4,4-hexafluoroisopropylidene diphthalic dianhydride (6FDA), and 3,3', 4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). After the synthesis of poly(amic acid), polyimide films were fabricated by adding 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane (DABCO), a low-temperature catalyst, at various wt% to poly(amic acid)s. Changes of optical and thermal properties were compared and analyzed between polyimide films without catalyst and polyimide films with catalyst by FT-IR, UV-Vis transmittance, DSC/TGA, and WAXD analysis. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) analysis revealed that the mean intermolecular distance decreased with the use of a catalyst by the type of dianhydride. Thus, while the optical properties of the films improve by a low-temperature cure performed using a catalyst, their thermal properties decrease. These changes can be explained by the changes in the morphological structure of the films triggered by a catalyst-induced reduction in the mean intermolecular distance. Moreover, the results show that the type of dianhydride determines the degree of change in the optical and thermal properties in each types of polyimide, demonstrating that changes in the optical and thermal properties are directly associated with the backbone of the polyimide structure.

The friction and wear properties of carbon-carbon composites made with different weight percent of $MoSi_2$ as an oxidation inhibitor were investigated using a constant speed wear test apparatus in an oxidation environment. The results indicated the carbon-carbon composites undergoing an abrupt transition of friction coefficient, from low-friction behavior(${\mu}$=0.15~0.2) during normal wear regime to the high-friction behavior(${\mu}$=0.5~0.6) during dusting wear regime at the frictional temperature range of 150~180${\circ}C$. The existence of temperature-dependent friction and wear regimes implied that the performance of specimen made with carbon-carbon composites was markedly affected by the thermal properties of the composites. The carbon-carbon composites filled with MoSi2 exhibited two times lower coefficient of friction and wear rate in comparison with the composites without $MoSi_2$. Especially, the composites containing 4wt% $MoSi_2$ filler showed a significantly improved activation energy for wear due to the reduction of both the porosity and powdery debris film formation on sliding surface when compared to those without $MoSi_2$.
