Formation of a strong 3-dimensional interfacial network structure via chemical reaction between hydroxyl group on silica surface and NR chain by the addition of bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide (TESPT) into silica-filled NR compound was observed by using Py-GC/MS and SEM. Addition of TESPT into silica-filled NR compound decreased scorch time ($t_{10}$) due to increased sulfur content, and reduced cure rate index (CRI) via continuous reaction between sulfur atoms in TESPT, which acted as a sulfur donor, and activators and/or accelerators. Addition of TESPT in the compound improved processability and mechanical properties of the compound. Overall, we observed that the addition of TESPT into the silica-filled NR compound formed a silica-TESPT-NR network, and thus the degree of crosslinking was increased resulting in improved mechanical properties.

This study reports a direct growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the surface of LiCoO₂ (LCO) powders to apply as highly efficient cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIB). The CNT synthesis was performed using a thermal chemical vapor deposition apparatus with temperatures from 575 to 625 ℃. Ferritin molecules as growth catalyst of CNTs were mixed in deionized (DI) water with various concentrations from 0.05 to 1.0 mg/mL. Then, the LCO powders was dissolved in the ferritin solution at a ratio of 1g/mL. To obtain catalytic iron nanoparticles on the LCO surface, the LCO-ferritin suspension was dropped in silicon dioxide substrates and calcined under air at 550℃. Subsequently, the direct growth of CNTs on LCO powders was performed using a mixture of acetylene (10 sccm) and hydrogen (100 sccm) for 10 min. The growth behavior was characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, Raman scattering spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The optimized condition yielding high structural quality and amount of CNTs was 600 ℃ and 0.5 mg/mL. The obtained materials will be developed as cathode materials in LIB.

We collected wild mushroom, Sarcodon aspratus from Deogyu Mt. of Muju, Jeollabuk-do and physiological functionalities of its water extract were investigated. The water extracts from S. aspratus showed the highest antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of 74.3% and also showed high anti-gout xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activity (59.6%). However, tyrosinase inhibitory activity was very low (17.3%), and antioxidant activity and SOD-likely activity were not detected. The ACE inhibitory activity of S. aspratus fruiting body was the highest when powder of the fruiting body was shaked at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 h by distilled water. Furthermore, the XOD inhibitory activity was also the highest by extraction at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 h with water.

Absorbable periodontal tissue regeneration barrier membranes (total 6; domestic 4; import 2) were comparatively analyzed. In the case of the xenograft barrier membrane, the collagen product had excellent tensile strength but low strain, and the porcine pericardial membrane had good mechanical properties, but its thickness was too thick to control. The synthetic PLLA membrane manufactured by the electrospinning had a relatively low water absorption capacity. However, the hybrid barrier membrane was able to control mechanical properties and biocompatibility through proper mixing of synthetic polymer and natural polymer. DA02 (PLLA/gelatin), a newly developed hybrid absorbable periodontal tissue regeneration membrane that is entirely dependent on imports, can be applied to an absorbable periodontal tissue regeneration barrier membrane due to suitable mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

The inorganic insulating material was fabricated with quartzite, ordinary portland cement(OPC), lime, anhydrous gypsum and foaming agent by hydrothermal reaction. The inorganic insulating material was fabricated by using autoclave chamber under high-temperature and high-pressure. The inorganic insulating material is a porous lightweight concrete. Because of its porous structure, properties of inorganic insulating material were light-weight and high-heat insulation property. Properties of fabricated inorganic insulating material were $0.26g/cm^3$ in specific gravity, 0.4MPa in compressive strength and 0.064W/mK in thermal conductivity. In this study, the inorganic insulating material was fabricated and analyzed at different size of quartzite/OPC, various foaming reagent and functional additives to improve the properties. Consequently, polydimethylsiloxane can improve density and thermal conductivity. Especially, polydimethylsiloxane showed excellent improvement in compressive strength.

In this study, the electrochemical characteristics of Graphite/Silicon/Pitch anode composites were analyzed to improve the low theoretical capacity of graphite as a lithium ion battery. The Graphite/Silica composites were synthesized by bonding silica onto polyvinylpyrrolidone coated graphite. The surface of used silica was treated with (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane(APTES). Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composites were prepared by carbonization of petroleum pitch, the fabrication processes including the magnesiothermic reduction of nano silica to obtain silicon and varying the mass ratio of silica. The Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composites were analysed by XRD, SEM and XRD. Also the electrochemical performances of Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composite as the anode of lithium ion battery were investigated by constant current charge/discharge, rate performance, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance tests in the electrolyte of $LiPF_6$ dissolved in organic solvents (EC:DMC:EMC=1:1:1 vol%). The Graphite/Silicon/Pitch anode composite (silica 28.5 in weight) has better capacity (537 mAh/g). The cycle performance has an excellent capacity retention to 30th cycle of 95% and the retention rate capability of 98% in 0.1 C/0.2 C.

In this study, the electrochemical properties of pitch coated silicon sheets/graphite anode materials were investigated. Using NaCl as a template, silicon sheets were prepared through the stöber method and the magnesiothermic reduction methode. In order to synthesize the anode composite, the silicon sheets and graphite were combined with SDBS. The pitch coated silicon sheets/graphite was synthesized using THF as a solvent for the anode material composite. The physical properties of the prepared anode composites were analysed by XRD, SEM, EDS and TGA. The electrochemical performances of the prepared anode composites were performed by the current charge/discharge, rate performance, cyclic voltammetry and EIS tests in the electrolyte LiPF₆ dissolved solvents (EC:DMC:EMC=1:1:1 vol%). As the silicon composition of silicon sheets/graphite composite material increased, the discharge capacity also increased, but the cycle stability tended to decrease. The anode material of pitch coated silicon sheets/graphite composite (silicon sheets:graphite=3:7 weight ratio) showed the initial discharge capacity of 1228.8 mAh/g and the capacity retention ratio of 77% after 50 cycles. From these results, it was found that the cycle stability of pitch coated silicon sheets/graphite was improved.

전세계 풍력발전 시장은 2009년말 160GW로 지난 5년간 연평균 36.1%로 성장하였으며, 2012년 310GW, 2020년에는 1,900GW에 이를 전망이다. 특히, 풍력산업은 조선, 중공업 등 우리나라가 강세에 있는 산업과 연관성이 높아 관련분야 대기업을 중심으로 시장진출이 활발히 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구는 지식경제부에서 지원하고 있는 신재생에너지기술개발사업 R&D지원실적을 토대로 풍력산업 및 기술혁신패턴을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 풍력산업 발전을 위한 기술혁신 지원전략을 연구하였다. 분석결과, 풍력시장이 급성장함에 따라 대기업을 중심으로 급진적 혁신 행태을 보였으며, 기술도입 및 선진기술의 모방이라는 전형적인 초기산업화 패턴을 보이고 있다. 이러한 기업전략은 기술혁신체제 관점에서 기술학습을 통한 기술축적이 부족하고, 부품소재 중심으로 공급사슬을 구성하는 중소 중견기업군이 취약하여 원가절감 등 시장 경쟁력에 장애요인으로 나타났다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 첫째, 시스템 기업은 중소 중견기업을 중심으로 부품국산화 노력을 통한 경쟁력 있는 공급사슬 구현이 시급하다. 둘째, 정부는 부품소재 중심의 원천연구에 대한 지원을 확대하여야 하며 셋째, 경쟁력 있는 국가의 기술혁신체계 구현을 위해 정부 출연연구소 및 대학을 중심으로 기술축적을 위한 방안이 시급하다. 마지막으로 초기 풍력산업의 주요 수요자가 정부 및 공공기관인점을 감안할 때, 풍력시스템의 국산화 비율을 구매 조건의 핵심 평가요인으로 채택해야 할 것이다.

중적외선 물질에는 Ge, ZnS, ZnSe, Si 등이 있으나 고굴절율이므로 반사가 매우 크게 발생을 한다. 이를 줄이기 위해 다층 박막 무반사 코팅을 일반적으로 사용하지만 열에 취약함, 적합한 물질을 찾는 것이 매우 어려움, 다층 박막으로 제작 시 두께가 매우 두꺼워짐의 단점이 있다. 또한 Ge, ZnS, ZnSe 의 소재는 가격이 Silicon에 비해 매우 비싸다. 그러므로 RCWA(Rigorous Coupled Wavelength Analysis) 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 상대적으로 저렴한 소재임에도 고투과성을 지닌 중적외선용 무반사 실리콘 서브파장구조(Subwavelength Structures, SWSs)를 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 원기둥, 원뿔, 파라볼라, 잘린 원뿔(truncated cone) 등의 형태에 따른 투과율 특성을 파악하여 최적구조가 파라볼라 형태임을 증명하였다. 또한 서브파장구조의 주기, 높이의 특성을 조절하여 공정 시의 종횡비(Aspect ratio)를 고려한 최적형태를 제안하였다. 중적외선 영역($3{\mu}m{\sim}5{\mu}m$)에서 일반 Silicon의 적외선 영역에서 평균 55%의 낮은 투과율을 보이나, 양면에 무반사 구조를 설계 하였을 때 평균 94%의 높은 투과율을 확인할 수 있다. 다양한 형태를 가진 무반사 실리콘 서브파장 구조물을 RCWA 방식으로 계산함으로서 특성을 파악하며 최적구조를 설계 할 수 있다. 또한 단면에 비하여 양면으로 SWSs 구조를 제작할 시 매우 두드러지는 투과특성을 확인할 수 있다. 고굴절율이지만 뛰어난 투과특성을 이용하여 초소형 적외선 카메라 렌즈 뿐만 아니라 적외선 광검출기, 광학 필터 등에 이용 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
