A variety of experiments concerning the development of ideal prosthetic grafts for correcting circumferential tracheal defects have been performed. The requirements for an ideal tracheal prosthesis are impermeability to air, consistency to prevent collapse, and acceptance by the host tissue causing a minimum inflammatory reaction, allowing fibroblastic infiltration and epithelialization. The synthetic material, polyurethane(PU), is known as a biocompatible polymer with an inert component. In this study, the tracheal prosthesis was made from microporous PU(30 micrometer in diameter) coated with gelatin and reinforced with isoplastic rings. This procedure provides the prosthesis with a compression strength. The out side diame er of the prosthesis was 20 mm with a length of 30 mm. The gelatin used in the study was obtained from pig skin and immobilized and cross-linked by irradiation(60 Co gamma ray) to promote host tissue incorporation and render the prosthesis epithelization after implantation. Animal experiments using 10 mongrel dogs were performed to compare three kinds of prosthesis; gelatin coated polyurethane graft, uncoated polyurethane graft, and prosthesisf pericadium complex graft. After 6 weeks of implantation, the epithelialization of implants was seen on the gelatin-coated and prosthesisfpericadium complex grafts. Implanted prosthesis were complicated by airway obstruction due to anastomosis granuloma. Early tracheal stenosis was found in the uncoated graft group. Two kind of anastomosis techniques were tested on the gelatin-coated prosthesis. Everted anastomosis resulted severe granuloma than the inverted anastomosis. In the prosthesislpericadium complex graft, bacteria and inflammation at a anastomotic site was found. Based on these results, gelatin coated porous polyurethane trachea prosthesis is biocompatible and may be useful in clinical application with further investigation.

Photo-curable material can be crosslinked among molecules by light source such as UV and visible light materials. Material properties are controlled by crosslink reaction. Shrinkage is occured during the curing reaction of material structure. Phenomenon of shrinkage stress occurs inside the product and reduce the stability of the product causes problems. Heat shrink the evaluation of the phenomenon has been formalized. But the evaluation of photo shrink is not enough. In this experiment, real-time contract with shrinkage tester phenomena and analysis degree of shrinkage of the material differences. According to the research, experimental results and theoretical analysis of the results were big differences. Shrinkage, especially for a number of different functional groups that were very different theory. These differences are occurred by the molecular structure different and not enough reaction.

CFRP chip is the byproduct from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) processing. CFRP chip is not simply a waste mainly composed of fine carbon fiber and epoxy resin. CFRP chip keeps matrix to maximize their reinforcing effect. To obtain a uniform length of carbon fiber in CFRP chip, chip was chopped ina mortar. CFRP chip should be purified to get better interface adhesion. Epoxy resin on the carbon fiber was removed by $H_2O_2$ surface etching treatment. Optimal dispersion and fabrication conditions of CFRP chip embedded in phenolic resin were determined by thermal stability for fire retardant applications. CFRP chip-phenolic composite exhibits better mechanical and thermal properties than neat phenolic resin. Surface condition of CFRP chip-phenolic composite was evaluated by static contact angle measurement. Contact angle of CFRP chip-phenolic composite was greater than neat phenolic due to heterogeneous condition of fine carbon fibers. From the evaluation for fire retardant (ASTM D635-06) test, thermal stability of CFRP chip-phenolic composite was found to be improved with higher concentration of CFRP chip.

Here, the surface characteristics of the dielectric were controlled by introducing the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) as the intermediate layers on the surface of the AlOx dielectric, and the electrical performances of the organic charge modulated transistor (OCMFET) were significantly improved. The organic intermediate layer was applied to control the surface energy of the AlOx gate dielectric acting as a capacitor plate between the control gate (CG) and the floating gate (FG). By applying the intermediate layers on the gate dielectric surface, and the field-effect mobility (μ_OCMFET) of the OCMFET devices could be efficiently controlled. We used the four kinds of SAM materials, octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA), butylphosphonic acid (BPA), (3-bromopropyl)phosphonic acid (BPPA), and (3-aminopropyl)phosphonic acid (APPA), and each μ_OCMFET was measured at 0.73, 0.41, 0.34, and 0.15 cm2V-1s-1, respectively. The results could be suggested that the characteristics of each organic SAM intermediate layer, such as the length of the alkyl chain and the type of functionalized end-group, can control the electrical performances of OCMFET devices and be supported to find the optimized fabrication conditions, as an efficient sensing platform device.

This study deals with numerical determination of stress intensity factors of adhesively patch-repaired plates with cracks at V-shaped or semicircular notches. The p-convergent anisoparametric model are considered and then three-dimensional virtual crack closure technique is presented using formulations of anisoparametric elements. In assumed displacement fields of an element, strain-displacement relations and three-dimensional constitutive equations are derived with three-dimensional hierarchical shape functions expanded from one-dimensional Lobatto functions. Transfinite mapping technique is used to represent a circular boundary. The present model provides accuracy and simplicity in terms of stress concentration factor, stress distribution, the number of degrees of freedom, and non-dimensional stress intensity factor as compared with previous works in literatures. Stress intensity factors obtained by the three-dimensional virtual crack closure technique are estimated with respect to the variation of width of finite plate, radius of notch root, angular inclination of V-shaped notch, and crack length.

The air texturing공정은 노즐에서 전달되는 초음속 에어기류에 의해 overfeed를 수반하여 yarn속 fiber가 뒤얽혀 loop와 crimp를 발달시키는데, 고강력 고탄성율 고내열성 내절단성 등의 특성을 가지는 아라미드섬유를 에어 가공사로 가공 할 경우 가공 전 필라멘트 상태일 때 보다 표면에 생기는 loop로 인하여 촉감이 좋아지고 또한 타 소재와 접착 시 접착제 담지 성능이 향상 되어 접착력이 상승되고, 이를 통해 보강재로서의 기능이 강화되는 반면 역학물성이 기존의 아라미드 보다 저하되는 약점을 가지고 있어 최근 ATY 공정조건이 ATY 사의 구조와 물성변화에 미치는 영향에 대한 많은 연구결과가 발표되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Aiki air jet texturing machine에서 $Heracron^{(R)}$ para-aramid(840, 1000d, 1500d)를 사용하여 ATY nozzle의 직경을 0.6, 0.75, 1, 1.2mm로 변화를 주어 12개의 para-aramid ATY 시료를 제조하여 이들의 섬도, 강신도, 초기탄성률, 열수축률 그리고 형태불안정성(instability)등의 물성변화를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 노즐의 직경이 증가함에 따라 사 내의 filament간의 움직임이 자유로워 교락이 증가하고 루프가 형성되어 단위길이 당 mass가 커지므로 섬도가 미세하게 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 또한 직경이 증가할수록 절단강도와 초기탄성률은 감소하고 절단신도가 증가하는 경향을 볼 수 있는데 이는 축 방향으로의 배열이 적어져 하중을 분담하는 portion이 감소하고 사의 loop형성이 많아짐으로서 상대적으로 인장력에 대응하는 fiber의 수가 적어지기 때문으로 사료된다. 이는 현미경 관찰로 확인할 수 있는데 직경이 증가함에 따라 사의 loop의 엉킴이 증가하고 filament가 조밀한 것을 확인할 수 있다. 직경 변화에 따른 건 습열 수축률은 1% 미만의 매우 낮은 값으로 영향을 받지 않는 것을 확인 할 수 있는데 para-aramid의 열적특성의 안정성에 기인하는 것으로 사료되며 ATY의 불안정성은 노즐 직경 증가에 따른 어떤 경향성을 찾아볼 수 없었지만 840d, 1000d, 1500d로 섬도가 증가함에 따라 사의 불안정성이 증가하였다.

The rocket grade hydrogen peroxide has been widely used as a monopropellant in propulsion systems. Conventional decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, however, requires preheating before feeding into the reactor. In the present paper, we described an experimental study of a catalytic reactor bed that employs multiple catalysts to enhance the low temperature response in the vicinity of the reactor inlet. $K_2MnO_4$ is experimentally chose as the inlet catalyst from the candidates of silver, platinum, $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CoO_3(LSC),\;and\;K_2MnO_4$. We developed new synthesis and coating method using modified alumina sol-gel method to strengthen the adhesion of $K_2MnO_4$ catalyst. from the vaporizer experiment with hydrogen peroxide at room temperature, satisfactory vaporizing performance was measured.

The axial stress in rock bolt, the shear stress at the bolt-grout interface and the neutral point are analyzed to understand the mechanical behavior of rook bolt. To analyze the support effects of rock bolt in various geological conditions, numerical analyses are performed with regard to bolt spacing and bolt length in several geological conditions and tunnel sizes. Through the numerical analyses, the distributions of maximum tensile stress and shear stress are determined. And the excavation width of underground opening affects the position of the neutral point. In the circular opening supported by pattern bolting, the increase of confining pressure, the reduction of plastic zone, and that of ground displacement are determined by using the radial stress increase ratio, the plastic zone reduction ratio and the displacement reduction ratio respectively. The results of this study can be applied to a practical tunnel design through understanding of the trends of these support effects.
