Interfacial durability and electrical properties of CNT or ITO coated PVDF nanocomposites were investigated for self-sensor and micro actuator applications. Electrical resistivity of nanocomposites for the durability on interfacial adhesion was measured using four points method via fatigue test under cyclic loading. CNT/PVDF nanocomposite exhibited lower electrical resistivity and good self-sensing performance due to inherent electrical property. Durability on the interfacial adhesion was good for both CNT and ITO/PVDF nanocomposites. With static contact angle measurement, surface energy, work of adhesion, and spreading coefficient between either CNT or ITO and PVDF were obtained to verify the correlation with interfacial adhesion durability. The optimum actuation performance of CNT or ITO coated PVDF specimen was measured by the displacement change using laser displacement sensor with changing frequency and voltage. The displacement of actuated nanocomposites decreased with increasing frequency, whereas the displacement increased with voltage increment. Due to nanostructure and inherent electrical properties, CNT/PVDF nanocomposite exhibited better performance as self-sensor and micro actuator than ITO/PVDF case.

This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of 5% sodium fluoride-polyvinyl alcohol (NaF-PVA) tape influencing enamel remineralization by analysing enamel surface microhardness (SMH) and variation of ${\Delta}F$ of QLF. After enamel demineralizing of specimen, these 60 specimens with average KHN of microhardness ranging from 50 to 100 and with ${\Delta}F$ of QLF ranging from -15 to -25 were divided into four groups : group 1 (control group), group 2 (NaF-PVA), group 3 (fluoride varnish, FluoroDose$^{(R)}$ varnish), group 4 (Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate, Tooth mousse plus$^{TM}$). These specimens were treated with materials and then immersed in artificial saliva. We measured remineralization rate each using surface microhardness (SMH) and Quantitative light-induced fluorescence digital (QLF-D). As a result, NaF-PVA tape is better than group 1, 4 and have comparable remineralization effect with group 3 (p < 0.05).

Acoustic emission (AE) signals are detected during the polymerization shrinkage of composite resin restoration in artificial dental ring according to various interfacial treatment conditions. AE amplitudes and the number of AE hit events were compared through the non-parametric statistics of Mann-Whitney method and Kruskal-Wallis method. The AE amplitudes detected from the PMMA and human tooth ring specimens were not significantly different according to adhesive conditions. The stainless steel ring specimen, meanwhile, had a difference in AE amplitude (p<0.05). The quantity of hit events for the human molar dentin specimens of the good bonding state was much less than that for the steel ring specimen but more than that for the PMMA ring specimen. For the same substrate, the better the bonding state, the less the AE hit events (p<0.05). The degree of marginal disintegration measured by SEM was proportional to the amount of AE hit events detected.

In this study, waterborne polyurethane acrylate were synthesized with polyester polyol, 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate ($H_{12}MDI$), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA), acrylate monomer to improve the properties and peel strength. In addition, the properties of the synthesized waterborne polyurethane acylate was evaluated through FT-IR, particle size analysis, UTM, peel strength. As the acrylic acid content increased, particle size increased. In the results of mechanical properties, when the acrylic acid contents increased, tensile strength was increased but elongation was decreased. All peel strength was improved as the acrylic acid contents of WPUA and acrylate ratio of PU/acrylate increased. Optimum peel strength obtained when acrylic acid was 0.5 wt%.

The extensive use of fossil resources over the past century resulted in dwindling supply and surging price of oil and it is strongly suspected that irreversible global climate change might be due to carbon dioxide emitted from combustion of fossil carbons. With this regard, much attention is recently paid to renewable and sustainable resources as alternatives to petroleum. In this review, we considered a range of efforts to replace petroleum-derived chemicals, particularly adhesive materials with renewable and sustainable plant-based biomass feedstock.

This work is about the development or asphalt sealant using the waste edible oil. Asphalt sealant has been used for crack filler and bridge deck joint sealer Several plasticizers such as aromatic or paraffin process oils, DOP, Bunker C fuel oil, and waste edible oil were compounded with the basic components such as asphalt(AP-5), a thermoplastic elastomer(SBS triblock copolymer), a tackifying agent(petroleum resin), and stabilizers. Penetration, softening point, ductility, and elongation by tensile adhesion of those asphalt sealant compounds were measured. Their properties were changed largely depending on both the type and content of plasticizers. Waste edible oil and DOP were the best plasticizers for the low temperature tensile adhesion characteristics. Penetration and elongation by tensile adhesion of asphalt sealant compounds increased with the increase of waste edible oil content and decreased with the increase of talc content. The manufacture of asphalt sealant with low penetration and excellent low temperature tensile adhesion was possible by the recipe optimization.

화학보호복은 독성이 있는 화학물질 및 미세분진등에 대해 공기를 차단하며 완전 밀폐형으로 공기호흡기 및 에어라인 같은 호흡보호장치와 함께 착용하여 신체부위를 보호한다. 그 예로 생물/화학보호복은 유독하고 해로운 생물/화학물질로 부터 인체를 보호해준다. 이들 보호복은 다양한 환경이 노출되어 장시간 작업을 위해서 오랜시간 보호성능을 유지해야한다. 특히, 이런 원단의 구성은 플라스틱과 고무류의 다층구조로 구성되어있다. 플라스틱류(폴리에틸렌, PTFE 등)는 표면장력이 너무 낮아 접착하는데 어려운 점이 많이 대두된다. 일반적인 표면처리방법은 크게 물리화학적 방법으로 4가지로 분류한다. 화학적산화, 불꽃처리, 플라즈마처리, UV 방사법 등이 있다. 이들 중에서 가장 간단한 산화처리는 플라즈마처리다. 이처리는 상온/상압하에서 대기 중 또는 가스내에 방전에 의해 플라즈마를 형성하고 이 플라즈마가 대상물의 표면분자와 격렬히 반응하게 하여 표면의 분자구조를 변화시킴에 따라 소수성의 표면에 Carboxyl, hydroxyl과 carbonyl과 같은 친수성으로 변하여 결합능력을 증가 시켜 표면장력을 높여주는 가장 효과적인 방법이다. 플라즈마 표면처리를 하고 나면 육안으로 표면의 변화를 감지할 수 없지만 접착, 잉크, 코팅을 잘 받아들이는 결과를 가져온다. 플라즈마 표면처리의 효과는 주로 부도체의 필름이나 합성수지 계열의 인쇄성과 접착성을 향상시키고자 많이 활용되고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 화학보호복과 같은 플라스틱류인 다양한 고분자 합성수지(Polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, vinyl, PVC, PET 등)에 적용가능하다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마처리조건에 영향을 주는 변수들을 고려하여 실험계획법(DOE, RSM)을 이용하여 최적화된 플라즈마 공정을 향상시키고자한다.

In order to describe external effects on the behavior of the adhesive tape, the semi-rigid body cylinder chain model for adhesive tape has been proposed as follows. Firstly the behavior of the tape is in detail investigated while it's being pulled off from the plate, and subsequently a relevant phenomenological model is designed. Then all the contributors affecting the force to peel out the tape from plate (hereafter, the pull out force) are clearly defined and their sensitivity analyses are made to set up the experimental reference condition, under which the angular dependence of the pull out force is measured in every $10^{\circ}$. The experimental data turn out to be in good agreement with the theoretical ones by our model within the measurement error, and the effects due to other factors are proved to be well explained from the phenomenological viewpoint. From these results, the concept of this study might be expected to be very useful for the test and evaluation of PSA types of adhesive tape.

Effect of polyol structure and NCO index on adhesion of PU adhesive at room ($25^{\circ}C$) and extremely low temperature ($-190^{\circ}C$) was investigated. At room temperature adhesive strength of PU adhesive tends to decrease as molecular weight of polyol increases, however, the strength at $-190^{\circ}C$ shows opposite tendency. Adhesive strength of the PU turned out to be directly proportional to the amount of MDI. PU containing aliphatic polyol was higher in shear strength at $-190^{\circ}C$ and the strength of PU with aromatic polyol was higher at room temperature.

Pull-off test is generally used to evaluate bond strength of FRP composite with concrete at job site. However, some damages on FRP composites can not be avoided during pull-off test and moreover test range of pull-off strength is limited by maximum tensile strength of concrete. Accordingly, it is required to set-up a test method that can evaluate mechanical properties of structural adhesive indirectly prior to pull-off test. In this study, the standard test methods for structural adhesive which can simply evaluate mechanical performance of adhesive were suggested through comparative experiments from each different standard in various countries. Particularly, gluing thickness of adhesive in tensile lap-shear tests, the section dimension of compression and bending test specimens become unified, and standard test specimen size is achieved by test results.
