핵융합로에서는 디버터의 열부하에 대한 안전성을 고려하기 위해 열전도도 및 열 저항성이 높은 텅스텐이 대면 물질로 고려되고 있으며, 경제적인 측면과 실용성 측면에서 텅스텐블록을 직접 제작하여 사용하는 것보다 텅스텐코팅이 효과적이라는 의견이 지배적이다. 또한 ASDEX Upgrade 에서는 탄소블럭에 텅스텐을 코팅하여 챔버 외벽 및 디버터 영역까지 구성하여 캠페인을 진행하였고, 재료적인 측면에서 안정성을 확인 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 디버터 및 챔버외벽 등에 대한 대면물질을 구성하기 위해 상압 열플라즈마 제트를 이용하여 고온에서의 용융 및 냉각을 통해 모재에 텅스텐 피막을 적층하는 과정을 수행하고 있다. 기존의 연구를 통해 일부 공정 변수에 대해서는 이미 적정한 범위의 공정조건을 확보하였고, 기공도와 산화도 및 부착력 등의 물성치에 대한 추가적인 향상을 위해 주요 공정 변수에 집중하여 최적의 조건을 탐색하는 과정이 진행 중이다. 이를 위해 출력증가실험의 일환으로서 기존 36kW급 플라즈마 토치 전력을 한 단계 끌어 올려 48kW급 전력까지 단계적으로 상승시킴으로써 이에 따른 물성치 변화를 검증하고 있다. 현재 44kW 급까지 실험이 수행되었으며, 이를 통해 공극률 감소 및 미세구조 변화에 대한 결과를 얻었다. 실제로 토치의 출력을 증가시킴으로서 텅스텐 피막의 물성치가 변화하는 메커니즘은 플라즈마 제트의 중심부 온도 및 축방향 속도에 의해 결정된다. 중심부 온도가 상승하게 될수록 코팅을 위해 분사되는 분말의 용융률은 증가하지만 분말 외벽에 산화텅스텐이 형성될 가능성은 증가하게 되며, 플라즈마 제트의 모재를 향상 축방향 속도가 증가할수록 용융 된 분말이 모재에 증착 시 형성하는 형태가 원형에 가깝게 되므로 기공이 감소하는 효과가 발생한다. 특히 용융된 분말의 증착 형태는 모재의 온도 및 분말의 입사속도에 결정적이 영향을 받게 되며, 결국 모재와 분말사이의 습윤성에 의한 분말 분산속도가 분말의 입사속도에 버금갈 경우 분말은 모재 위에서 효과적으로 원형으로 전이하며 적층하게 된다. 이러한 전이 현상은 앞에서 언급한 모재의 온도 등에 의해 결정적으로 영향을 받게 되며, 모재의 온도가 전이온도 이하일 경우 폭파형태에서 원형으로 분말의 증착 형태가 전이하게 된다. 이외에 추가적으로 진행하고 있는 연구는 코팅 전처리에 해당하는 분말 효과이며, 특히 탄화텅스텐 분말을 통한 재료적 auto-shroud 효과와 미세분말을 이용한 분말 표면열속의 증가에 따른 용융률 증가효과를 연구에 포함할 계획이다. 이러한 연구는 열적, 그리고 재료적 해석을 바탕으로 해석적 접근을 통해 이루어진다.

A Bacillus sp. that produces fibrinolytic enzyme was isolated from Cheonggukjang, a traditional Korean soybean-fermented food. According to 16S rRNA gene base sequencing, the bacillus was identified as a variety of Bacillus subtilis, and named Bacillus subtilis IDCC 9204. Fibrinolytic enzyme NK-IL9204 was stable up to $60^{\circ}C$ and within pH range of 5-10. Purified NK-IL9204 was detected through fibrin zymography. The molecular weight and isoelectric point of the enzyme were estimated to be 27.7 kDa and 6.7 by SDS-PAGE and 2D electrophoresis, respectively. Its amino acid sequence was similar to that of nattokinase (identities 99.5%) and different from that of nattokinase BPN (identities 86.4%). The plasma fibrinolytic activity of NK-IL9204 was measured by euglobulin clot lysis times (ECLT). The NK-IL9204 was orally administered to SD rats for 3 weeks (1,000 FU/rat/day). The ECLT was significantly shortened by supplementation of NK-IL9204.

This study was carried out to analyze the differences in enzyme activity and stability between the native Fe superoxide dismutase (FeSOD) and the 6xHis-tagged superoxide dismutase (6xHis-FeSOD) of Streptomyces subrutilus P5. The optimum pHs for both native FeSOD and 6xHis-FeSOD were 7, while the pH range of the activity was narrower for the 6xHis-FeSOD. The native FeSOD was stable at pH 4-9, but the 6xHis-FeSOD lost its stability at pH > 9. The temperatures of the optimum activities were same for both types of enzymes. However, the heat stability of the 6xHis-FeSOD was clearly decreased; even at $20^{\circ}C$ the enzyme lost the activity after 360 min. In contrast, the native FeSOD was stable after 720 min at below $40^{\circ}C$. $H_2O_2$ inhibition was occurred already at 0.5 mM for the 6xHis-tagged enzyme. Therefore, from the results that the 6xHis-FeSOD retained the enzyme activity at pH 6-7 and $20-40^{\circ}C$, it can be assumed that the protein structure became destabilized under different storage conditions and sensitive to the enzyme inhibitor.

The high temperature stability of a chloride mixture, $NaCl-KCl-ZnCl_2$ (NaKZn-Chloride), is investigated to evaluate its potential as a thermal storage material. A thermal storage media should maintain a stable thermal properties within the temperature range of heat storage. Results from an a priori experiment showed that the NaKZn-chloride is stable only up the much lower temperature, while its stability limit is reported to be $850^{\circ}C$ in the literature. This study aims to investigate if the thermal property is changed by the moisture absorbed in the heat storage material. The effect of moisture content on the thermal properties was measured. The results show that the melting point remains the same regardless of the amount of moisture absorbed. Meanwhile, the high temperature stability is lower for the moisture treated samples. The results of this work infer that the loss of a hygroscopic thermal storage media can be reduced by avoiding its contacts to moisture in designing high temperature thermal storage systems.

Thermal problems that are directly related to the lifetime of an electronic device are becoming increasingly important owing to the miniaturization of electronic devices. To solve thermal problems, it is essential to study thermal stability through thermal diffusion and insulation. A honeycomb sandwich plate has anisotropic thermal conductivity. To analyze the thermal deformation and temperature distribution of a system that employs a honeycomb sandwich plate, the thermal and elastic properties need to be determined. In this study, the thermal and elastic properties of a honeycomb sandwich plate, such as thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and shear modulus, are predicted. The properties of a honeycomb sandwich plate vary according to the hexagon size, thickness, and material properties.

The evolution of temperature and thermal stress in a granite specimen is studied via heating experiment in the context of a high-level radioactive waste repository. A heating condition based on the decay-induced heat is applied to a cubic granite specimen to measure the temperature and stress distributions and their evolution over time. The temperature increases quickly due to heat conduction along the heated surfaces, but a significant amount of thermal energy is also lost through other surfaces due to air convection and conduction into the loading machine. A three-dimensional finite element-based model is used to numerically reproduce the experiment, and the thermo-mechanical coupling behavior and modeling conditions are validated with the comparison to the experimental results. The most crucial factors influencing the heating experiment are analyzed and summarized in this paper for future works.

Long-term shear behavior of the rock discontinuities should be analyzed and its stability should be evaluated to ensure the long-term stability of a high-level radioactive waste disposal repository. The long-term shear behavior of the discontinuities can be modeled with creep and RSF models. The shear creep test, velocity step test, and slide-hold-slide test can be performed to determine their model parameters or analyze the shear behavior by experiments under various conditions. Testing apparatuses for direct shear, triaxial compression, and biaxial shear were mainly used and improved to reproduce the thermo-hydro-mechanical conditions of local bedrock, and it was confirmed that the shear behavior could vary. In order to design a high-level radioactive waste disposal site in Korea, the long-term behavior of rock discontinuities should be investigated in consideration of rock types, thermo-hydro-mechanical conditions, metamorphism, and restoration of shear resistance.

The syntheses of thermal latent catalysts have been carried out by modifying the substituent of pyrazinium salts. The thermal latent properties and cure behaviors of difunctional epoxy resin (diglycidylether of bisphenol-A, DGEBA) with 1 wt% of catalyst as an initiator were investigated by dynamic DSC method. As a result, the synthesized catalysts showed the good latent thermal properties in epoxy system. With increasing the basicity of substituted catalyst, the cure temperature and activation energy of epoxy system were increased, whereas the activity was decreased. This was probably due to the fact that the activity and cure behavior were controlled by ring strain and basicity of substituent. Consequently, the catalyst activity modified by methyl group as an electron donor was decreased in increasing of basicity in an initiation step of epoxy cure system. This is due to a decreasing of stabilities of both leaving group of pyrazinium salts and benzyl cation. However, the catalyst activity modified by cyano group as an electron acceptor was increased in increasing the stability of benzyl cation resulting from organic effects and resonance.
