  • Previous studies have already shown that mouthguard is effective in protecting jaw bone, teeth and oral tissue against sports trauma. However, other than severe trauma, repetitive force, such as disorders like clenching, cause teeth or oral tissue damage. These kinds of disorders usually present pathologic attrition in the posterior teeth, resorption in alveolar bone, loss of teeth and destruction of occlusion. Wearing a mouthguard is believed to be effective in preventing these disorders. But its effect is not examined thoroughly enough. The purpose of this study is to identify whether mouthguard is effective in reducing strain caused by clenching. Mandibular first molars in the normal occlusal relationship without any history of dental treatment were chosen. Biaxial type strain gauge was placed on the buccal surface of the tooth. Having maximum occlusal force, measured by load cell, as a standard, clenching intensity were divided into three stages; moment of slightly tooth contact, medium bite force (50% of maximum bite force), maximum bite force. Strain occurring in dentition in each stage with and without mouthguard was measured. Changes in strain (on dentition) between each stage and difference in strain, between with or without mouthguard were recorded by PCD-300 analyzer and PCD-30 soft ware. The data was statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test. The following results were drawn; Without mouthguard, strain given on dentition increased as the clenching force increased. With mouthguard, strain given on dentition also increased as the clenching force increased. With mouthguard, strain decreased, in all cases of clenching force stages. Data on the moment of slightly tooth contact stage, had no statistical significance. However, with mouthguard, 50-90% of decrease in strain could be obtained in maximum occlusal force, compared to the group without mouthguard. Mouthguard decreased the strain on the dentition, caused by clenching. Therefore, mouthguard seems to be effective in preventing damage on dentition, by acting against clenching, which occurs both consciously and unconsciously during sports activities.

  • Interfacial evaluation of the untreated and treated Jute and Hemp fibers reinforced different matrix polypropylene-maleic anhydride polypropylene copolymer (PP-MAPP) composites were investigated by micromechanical technique and dynamic contact angle measurement. For the statistical tensile strength of Jute and Hemp fibers, bimodal Weibull distribution was fitted better than the unimodal distribution. The acid-base parameter on the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of the natural fiber composites was characterized by calculating the work adhesion, $W_a$. The effect of alkaline, silane coupling agent on natural fibers were obtained with changing MAPP content in PP-MAPP matrices. Alkaline treated fibers made the surface energy to be higher due to removing the weak boundary layers and thus increasing surface area, whereas surface energy of silane treated Jute and Hemp fibers decreased due to blocked high energy sites. MAPP in the PP-MAPP matrix caused the surface energy to increase due to introduced acid-base sites. Microfailure modes of two natural fiber composites were observed clearly differently due to different tensile strength of natural fibers.

  • We have carried out a nondestructive close examination for the purpose of the structural safety diagnosis of the Three-Story Pagoda(Seokga Pagoda) in Bulkuk temple in the city of Kyungju, Kyungbuk, Korea. Ultrasonic wave velocities were measured at 456 points of the pagoda comprising 44 blocks to estimate the mechanical properties of rock blocks constituting the pagoda. The measured velocities have the range of 1217 to 4403 m/sec with the average of 3227 m/sec. The empirical relationship between the ultrasonic velocity and the uniaxial compressive strength yielded the estimation of strength of each block, ranging from 134 to 844 kg/cm^2 and averaging 463 kg/cm^2. With an assumption that the strength of each block is described as a random variables having a normal distribution, we calculated the probability of failure of rock blocks of the pagoda. Our investigation revealed that the probability of the structural failure due to the weight of higher blocks is very low. However, the probability of partial failure around contact area is substantial, which is consistent with the appearance that edges and the corners of some blocks were broken off. The platform under the body of the pagoda appeared to be structurally weak as the probability of tensile failure of the lower platform is up to 18%, and diagonal fractures are shown where the probability of failure is high.

  • In order to improve the mechanical properties of jute fiber/polypropylene(PP) composites, the property change with the addition of a coupling agent, maleic anhydride polypropylene(MAPP) was examined experimentally. The maleated coupler acts as an intermediate to chemically connect the polar nature of the fiber and non-polar nature of the polyolefin polymer resin. Furthermore, the decrease in viscosity of the resin which results from the melting point reduction by the MAPP, leads to an increase of contact area with the fiber interface. We discussed the improvement of the PP composite blend of the maleated coupler with the 80mm jute long fiber mat in conjunction with the change of physical parameters in the thermoplastic resin. We confirmed the extent of contribution to the mechanical physical enhancement by using the following parameters: melting flow index(MI) and viscosity, contact angle, thickness of the composite, interfacial shear strength and morphology observation etc. Especially it was observed that the MI and viscosity, MAPP mixture had a very strong relationship with the tensile and flexural strength and modulus, and interfacial shear strength(IFSS).

  • This paper documents the effect of surface treatment of aluminum on the bonding strength of aluminum/CFRP composites. The surface of aluminum panel was treated by DC plasma. The optimal treatment condition of the aluminum was determined by measuring the contact angle and T-peel strength as functions of mixture ratio of acetylene gas to nitrogen gas. The mixture ratios used were 1:9, 3:7, 5:5, 7:3, and 9:1 Lap shear tests and T-peel tests were performed using surface-treated alumiunm/CFRP composites and regular alumiunm/CFRP composites. The results showed that the contact angle was minimized and the T-peel strength was maximized iota the mixture ratio of 5:5. The results also showed that the shear strength of surface-treated alumiunm/CFRP composites was 34% greater than that of regular alumiunm/CFRP composites. The T-peel strength of surface-treated alumiunm/CFRP composites was also 5 times greater than that of regular alumiunm/CFRP composites.

  • It is well-known that the bond strength between CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) and aluminum is significantly affected by the surface treatment of the CFRP and the aluminum. This study investigates the surface treatment of CFRP to improve the T-peel strength of CFRP/aluminum composites. The surface of %CFRP([0^0]_{14})$ was treated by the ion assisted reaction method under oxygen environment. T-peel strength tests were performed based on the procedure of ASTM D1876-95. The T-peel strength of surface-treated CFRP/aluminum composites was compared with that of untreated CFRP/aluminum composites. The results showed that the T-peel strength of surface-treated CFRP/aluminum composites was about 5.5 times higher than that of untreated CFRP/aluminum composites. SEM examination showed that the improvement of T-peel strength was attributed to the uniform spread and fracture of epoxy adhesive.

  • Polyethylene is a typical hydrophobic material and it is difficult to bond the polyethylene material with metal material. Thus, it is important to modify the surface of polyethylene material to improve the bonding strength between the polyethylene and the metal materials. In this study, the surface modification of polyethylene material was investigated to improve the interfacial strength between the polyethylene and the steel materials. Polyethylene material was surface-modified in a plasma cleaner using an oxygen gas. Two cases of composites (surface-modified pelyethylene/steel composite and regular (as-received) pelyethylene/steel composite) were fabricated using a secondary bonding method. Shear and bending tests have been performed using the two cases of composites. The results showed that the contact angle did not change much as the modification time increased. However, the contact angle decreased from ${\sim}76^{\circ}\; to\;{\sim}41^{\circ}$ with the modification. The results also showed that the shear strength and the bending strength were improved about 3030 % and 7 %, respectively when the polyethylene was plasma-modified using an oxygen gas.

  • This paper introduces homogeneous liquid crystal (LC) orientations on chemically modulated polystyrene (PS) surfaces using various ion beam (IB) exposure time. Transparent PS was replaced with conventional polyimide material. As a non-contact process, IB bombardment process induced LC orientation in the direction parallel to the IB process. Through x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it was shown that the chemical compositional changes of the IB-irradiated PS surfaces were determined as a function of IB exposure time.Using this analysis, the optimal IB bombardment condition was determined at IB exposure time of up to 15 s. Moreover, thermal stability on IB-irradiated PS surfaces were carried out which showed that a relatively high IB exposure time induced a thermally stable LC alignment property.

  • 연료전지 분리판은 연료전지 스택을 구성하는 부품 중에서 가장 많은 수량이 사용되는 부품의 하나로서 연료전지의 출력밀도(Power Density, W/L), 비출력(Specific Power, W/kg) 및 가격($/kWe) 관점에서 가능한 저가의 소재 및 제조공정으로 경량, 박형화가 이루어져야 하는 핵심 부품이다. 이러한 저가의 경량, 박형화 분리판 개발의 전제조건은 연료전지 스택에서 요구하는 다양한 물성, 장기수명 및 신뢰성은 나타내는 내구성을 만족해야 하는 것이다. 이렇듯 연료전지 분리판은 다음과 같은 요구 조건을 만족해야 한다. 높은 전기전도도, 전기화학적 부식 저항성, 화학적 안전성, 가스 기밀성, 기계적 강도 및 가공성 등이라 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 분리판의 요구 조건을 만족할 수 있는 분리판을 제작하기 위하여 고분자 복합소재(PCB; Printed Circuit Board)를 이용하여 전기도금을 통해 Cu/Au(1st PCB 분리판)과 Cu/Ni/Au(2st PCB 분리판)을 코팅하여 분리판을 제작하였다. 제조된 분리판을 이용하여, 접촉저항, 부식특성, 가스 기밀성, 기계적 강도를 분석하였으며, 단위전지를 제작 하여 상용 Graphite 분리판과 성능을 비교분석하였다.

  • 디스플레이는 다수의 가로 전극과 세로 전극으로 구성되고, 전극에 신호를 주어 동작하도록 하는 원리이다. 이 디스플레이에는 전기가 통하고 투명한 전극이 필수적으로 사용되고 있고, 대표적인 투명 전극으로 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)가 있다. ITO 박막은 $In_2O_3$에 Sn을 첨가하여 $Sn^{4+}$ 이온이 $In^{3+}$ 이온을 치환하고 이 과정에서 잉여 전자가 전기전도에 기여하는 구조이다. ITO 박막은 표면 처리 방법에 따라 표면 상태가 크게 변화한다. 플라즈마를 이용한 표면 처리는 환경오염이 적으며 강도, 탄성률 등과 같은 재료의 기계적 특성을 변화시키지 않으면서 표면 특성만을 변화시킬 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다[1]. UV (Ultraviolet)를 조사한 표면처리는 ITO 표면의 탄소를 제거하고, 표면 쌍극자를 형성하며, 표면의 조성을 변화시킬 수 있으며, 페르미 에너지 준위를 이동시킬 수 있어 ITO의 일함수를 증가시킬 수 있다[2]. ITO에 대한 다양한 연구가 수행되었음에도 불구하고 보다 다양한 관점에서의 연구가 지속될 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 조건으로 표면 처리한 ITO 표면의 일함수, 면저항, 표면 형상, 평탄도, 접촉각 등에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 세정한 ITO, 세정 후 UV 처리한 ITO (UV 처리 시간 2분, 4분 6분, 8분), 세정 후 $N_2$, $O_2$, Ar의 공정 가스를 사용하여 Plasma 처리한 ITO로 표면 처리 조건을 변화하였다. 표면 처리한 ITO의 특성은 Kelvin Probe를 이용한 일함수, 물방울 형상의 각도를 측정한 접촉각, AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)을 이용한 평탄도, 가시광선 (380~780 nm) 파장에 대한 투과도와 면저항을 측정하였다. 접촉각은 세정한 ITO의 경우 $45.5^{\circ}$에서 세정 후 UV를 조사한 ITO의 경우 UV 8분 조사 시 $27.86^{\circ}$로 감소하였고, $N_2$, $O_2$, Ar 가스를 사용하여 Plasma 처리한 ITO는 모두 $10^{\circ}$ 미만을 나타내었다. 플라즈마 처리에 의하여 접촉각이 현저하게 개선되었다. ITO의 면저항은 표면 처리 조건에 따라 $9.620{\sim}9.903{\Omega}/{\square}$로 그 차이가 매우 적어 표면처리에 의하여 면저항의 변화는 없는 것으로 판단된다. 가시광선 영역에서의 투과도는 공정 조건에 따라 87.59 ~ 89.39%로 그 차이가 적어 표면처리에 의한 변화를 나타내지는 않은 것으로 판단된다. 표면 처리 조건에 따른 평탄도 $R_{rms}$는 세정한 ITO의 경우 4.501 nm로부터 UV 2, 4, 6, 8분 처리한 경우 2.797, 2.659, 2.538, 2.584 nm로 평탄도가 개선되었다. $N_2$, $O_2$, Ar 가스를 사용하여 플라즈마 처리한 ITO의 경우 평탄도 $R_{rms}$는 2.49, 4.715, 4.176 nm로 사용한 가스의 종류에 따라 다른 경향을 나타내었다. 표면 처리 조건에 따른 평탄도 Ra는 세정한 ITO의 경우 3.521 nm로부터 UV 2, 4, 6, 8분 처리한 경우 1.858, 1.967, 1.896, 1.942 nm를, $N_2$, $O_2$, Ar 가스를 사용하여 플라즈마 처리한 ITO의 경우는 1.744, 3.206, 3.251 nm로 평탄도 $R_{rms}$와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다.
