In recent years, recycling process has come to be necessary for separating metals, glass fibers and polymer from WPCBs (waste printed circuit boards) due to an increasing amount of electronic device waste. In this study, dimethylformamide (DMF) and attrition mill reactor were used to separate the component such as metals, glass fiber and epoxy resin from WPCBs. Separation of glass fiber from WPCBs was carried out under stirring rates 300~600 revolution per minute (rpm) for 1~2 h as the various agitator. The recycled glass fibers (RGF) were analyzed by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) for degree of separation of epoxy resin in the WPCBs. The degree of separation of epoxy resin of WPCBs increased in attrition mill agitator as a mechanochemical process for recycling WPCBs. The RGF separated in the WPCBs was applied as a reinforcement in the RGF/unsaturated polyester composites to reuse as a reinforcement.

최근에 유연한 성질을 갖는 전자기기들의 수요가 증가하면서, 그에 따라서 유연 전자기기를 뒷받침 해줄 수 있는 에너지 저장체의 유연한 성질도 중요성이 점점 부각되고 있으며 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 유연한 에너지 저장체의 많은 연구들이 유연한 금속 박막이나 특수 공정처리가 필요한 고분자를 이용하고 있으나, 대부분의 유연 에너지 소자들은 에너지 저장체의 성능에 비해 고온과 산 약품과 같은 환경이 필요하며, 비용과 시간이 많이 소모되고 있다. 그에 반해 섬유는 앞에서와 같이 특수 공정 처리가 따로 필요하지 않으며 상온에서도 손 쉽게 이용 가능하며, 신축성이 뛰어난 장점이 있기 때문에 효율적, 비용적으로 유연한 에너지 저장체에 유리한 소재이다. 몸에 해로운 산과 같은 약품처리의 필요도 없으며, 용매를 흡수하는 능력이 뛰어나기 때문에 용매를 이용한 도포 방법을 사용하면 다양한 물질을 폭넓게 적용 가능하다. 그리고 적용 분야에 맞춰서 섬유의 종류를 조절하면 다양한 성질을 갖는 천 기반의 에너지 저장체가 형성되며, 면 섬유가 수소 결합과 높은 반데르 발스 결합에 의해 탄소나노튜브와 결합하여 높은 에너지 밀도를 갖는 에너지 저장체를 형성하는 것을 분석한 논문들도 보고되고 있다. 면 섬유의 특수한 성질을 이용하여 에너지 저장체를 제작하고 이를 확인하기 위해서 일반 합성 섬유인 polyester와 면 섬유를 비교 제작하였으며, 용매의 형태로 손쉽게 도포 가능한 물질은 탄소 계열의 활물질들이며, 탄소 나노 튜브나 그래핀 등이 분산된 용액을 이용해 천에 도포 가능하다. 탄소 계열의 활물질들은 대표적인 슈퍼캐패시터 물질이며, 천에 도포를 함으로써 천 기반의 슈퍼캐패시터를 제작하였다. 일반 합성 섬유 polyester와 CNT를 결합한 형태의 전극은 최대 에너지 축전 용량(Maximum specific capacitance)이 53.6 F/g으로 나타났으며, 면 섬유와 CNT를 결합한 형태의 전극은 최대 에너지 축전 용량이 122.1 F/g으로 나타났다. 따라서 면 섬유에서 높은 에너지 저장 능력을 보이는 것을 실험적으로 확인하였으며, 에너지 저장 능력이 뛰어난 면 섬유를 다음 전극 디자인에서도 일률적으로 적용하였다. 슈도캐패시터의 대표적 물질인 금속 산화물인 망간 산화물(MnO2)을 3전극 도금 시스템을 이용하여 에너지 축전 용량과 에너지 밀도를 올리는 전극을 제작하였다. 특히 망간 산화물의 형태는 표면적을 극대화하기 위해서 평균 지름은 200~300 nm 정도 되는 나노 입자의 형태로 제작하였다. 그 결과, 확연하게 에너지 축전 용량이 향상되었으며, 최대 에너지 축전 용량은 282.0 F/g, 에너지전력 밀도는 14.2 Wh/kg으로 나타나서 금속 산화물의 형태가 주는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 나노 입자의 형태로 제작된 금속 산화물은 문제점이 발생하였다. 금속 산화물의 전기 전도성이 매우 낮기 때문에, 전기 전도성에 비례해서 전력 밀도의 값이 표현되는데, 전기 전도성이 급격히 감소하기 때문에 전력 밀도도 급격한 감소가 나타난다. 다음과 같이 전기 전도성 물질을 첨가하는 방법은 추가의 공정이 필요한 단점이 있지만 오직 기계적인 인장응력만을 가해서 에너지 밀도와 전력 밀도를 증가시키는 전극을 제작하였다. 인장응력을 섬유 기반의 전극에 가했을 시에 가닥들간의 접촉 증가와 CNT가 정렬되면서 특정 변형률(strain) 이전에서는 전기 전도성이 최대 50% 이상 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 선행 연구에서 보고되었다. 이를 이용해서 전기 전도성과 직결되는 전력 밀도의 양도 증가시키고 에너지 밀도의 증가 여부까지 확인한 결과 인장을 가하기 전 면 섬유의 전력 밀도와 에너지 밀도는 6.4 kW/kg and 6.1 Wh/kg으로 나타났으나 30% 변형 인장 후에는11.4 kW/kg과 7.1 Wh/kg으로 나타났다. 그리고 망간 산화물을 첨가한 전극 역시 4.9 kW/kg과 14.2 Wh/kg으로 나타났었으나 인장 이후 전력 밀도는 14.2 kW/kg, 에너지 밀도는 17.6 Wh/kg으로 확연하게 증가한 것을 확인하였다.

Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) contain valuable metals such as Cu, Ni, Au, Ag, and Pd. For an effective recycling of WPCBs, it is essential to recover the valuable metals. In recent years, recycling processes have come to be necessary for separating noble metals from WPCBs due to an increasing amount of electronic device wastes. However, it is well known that glass reinforced epoxy resins in the WPCBs are difficult materials to separate into elemental components, namely metals, glass fibers and epoxy resins in the chemical recycling process. $K_3PO_4$ as a catalyst in dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was used to depolymerize epoxy resins for recovering metallic and non-metallic components from WPCBs. Reactions of WPCBs were carried out at temperatures $160{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ for 2~12 h. The recycled glass fiber from WPCBs was analyzed by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and evaluated the degree of solubility of the epoxy resin for separation efficiencies of the WPCBs.

As for the performance evaluation of bridge decks, experimental studies on the 3 test specimens with 1/5 scale of full size were carried out. Three specimens were sandwich plates with box tube cores. The constituents of bridge decks were glass fiber preforms and epoxy resin. The experimental results of all the specimens were summarized for maximum strength, stiffness and deformation capacity. A finite element analyses were compared to verify validity of experimental results.

A canard type aircraft, which has good wing stall and stall/spin proof characteristics, is being developed. The previous first and second prototypes, having full depth core sandwich type wing and fixed landing gear, was built for test flights. Newly developing Firefly will be equipped with retractable landing gear and conventional foam core sandwich laminate for wing and fuselage. For manufacturing, composite material process has been studied including coupon tests. Wet lay-up onto foam core with glass fabric using lay-up mold has been chosen, and composite material parts are cured under room temperature and atmospheric pressure condition. In general, molded parts show so good surface smoothness and standardized quality that are best in mass production. In this study, we present the mold technology and development status for small aircraft firefly.

We studied the anti-oxidant and anti-aging activities of Sericinjam Gland Hydrolysate (SJGH) in the human dermal fibroblasts. SJGH effectively defended cell death and ROS generation under high H2O2 in human dermal fibroblasts. Moreover SJGH reduced the expression of SA-${\beta}$-Gal and MMP-1 under low concentration of $H_2O_2$ whereas biosynthesis of procollagen-I was increased. This results demonstrate the anti-oxidant and anti-aging activities of SJGH. SJGH could be a good candidate for anti-aging cosmetics ingredient.

The chemical composition of 13 different Korean green tea products made from various kinds of tea trees and processing methods was analyzed. The distinct changes in the chemical composition noticed by the harvesting time of tea leaves. The content of crude protein decreased and the contents of crude fat and crude fiber increased as the harvesting runs proceeded. The contents of tanic substances and total sugar tended to increase while caffein content decreased as the runs proceeded. The contents of some organic acids reached to the maximum at the second run of harvest. Steamed leaves had higher chlorophyll content than roasted one, and it resulted in the brighter green and more yellow color of steamed tea products.

We have studied the effect of silk proteins to the cell proliferation of human skin fibroblast cells (CCD-986sk) after injury. Silk proteins were extracted treatment with enzyme or NaOH solution from raw silk and culled-cocoon shell of Bombyx mori, Antheraea yamamai and A. pernyi. The cell proliferation after in vitro injury are increased in treatment by Bombyx mori (BM-1,2), Antheraea yamami (AY-1,2) and A. pernyi (AP-1,2). The silk protein fractions-treated cells exhibited proliferation in a dose dependent between $0.1\;{\mu}g/ml$ and $10\;{\mu}g/ml$. But, the macrophage, RAW 264. 7 cell viability was unaffected by the silk protein fractions by MTT assay. The molecular weights of the silk protein fractions were from 300-600 to 900-1500. These results results that the silk protein fractions may function through skin fibroblast proliferation.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of protein enriched fermented milk made with whey and soybean flour. Protein-enriched fermented milk was prepared as follows: Soybean flour was added before fermentation. No synthetic aroma was added. The fermentation starter culture was ABT-4 (Chr. Hansen). Whey protein was added after fermentation. Sensory evaluation indicated that sample containing soybean flour amount of 5% were better than other samples. The pH values and titratable acidities of stored protein-enriched fermented milk and fermented milk, respectively, were not remarkably different. Crude protein was more than 3 times higher in protein-enriched fermented milk (8.77%) than in fermented milk (2.49%). The crude fat content of protein-enriched fermented milk was not remarkably different compared to that of fermented milk. Dietary fiber was more than 2.7 times higher in protein-enriched fermented milk (1.67%) than in fermented milk (0.62%), and the free amino acid content was more than 14 times higher in protein-enriched fermented milk (37.9%) than in fermented milk (2.6%).
