In this study, the properties of Sn-0.7wt%Cu-Xwt%Re(X=$0.01{\sim}1.0$) older were investigated by using DSC(differential scanning calorimetry), wetting balance, victors hardness and tensile testers. The melting temperature of solder was increased with increasing the contents of rare earth element, and the melting temperature range of Sn-0.7Cu-($0.01{\sim}1.0$)Re solder was $233.9{\sim}234.7^{\circ}C$. The wettability with Sn-0.7Cu-0.1Re solder was higher than that of Sn-0.7Cu-0.01Re and Sn-0.7Cu-1.0Re solders, and the wettability of Sn-0.7Cu-0.1Re solder was higher than that of Sn-0.7wt%Cu-0.01w%P solder. Also, the hardness and tensile strength of solder were increased with increasing the contents of rare earth element.

Effects of non-cleaning and cleaning fluxes on the wetting properties and defects at flow soldered joints were investigated. Non-cleaning flux (R-type of 3.3% solid content) and cleaning flux (RMA-type of 15% solid content) were used. Wetting test was accomplished by wetting balance method with changing surface state of wetting specimen, CU. Sn-37%Pb solder was used for wetting test and flow soldering. As experimental results, the wetting time for vertical force from the surface tension being zero was mainly affected by surface state of the wetting specimen. Non-cleaning flux had a good wettability compared with cleaning flux. In case of non-cleaning flux, conveyor speed had a great affection to defects of bridge, icicle, and poor solder.

Mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites were affected to fiber volume fractions (FVF) and interfacial property by sizing agent conditions. An optimum interface can relieve stress concentration by transferring the mechanical stress from the matrix resin to the reinforcements effectively, and thus can result in the performance of the composites. The interfacial properties and wettability between the epoxy resin and glass fiber (GF) were evaluated for different sizing agent conditions and FVFs. The surface energies of epoxy resin and different sizing agent treated GFs were calculated using dynamic and static contact angle measurements. The work of adhesion, W_a was calculated by using surface energies of epoxy matrix and GFs. The wettability was evaluated via the GF tow capillary test. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS) was evaluated by microdroplet pull-out test. Finally, the optimized GFRP manufacturing conditions could be obtained by using wettability and interfacial property.

Interfacial properties and microfailure degradation mechanisms of the bioabsorbable composites for implant materials were investigated using micromechanical technique and measurement of surface wettability. As hydrolysis time increased, the tensile strength, the modulus and the elongation of poly(ester-amide) (PEA) and bioactive glass fibers decreased, whereas those of chitosan fiber almost did not change. Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between bioactive glass fiber and poly-L-lactide (PLLA) was much higher than PEA or chitosan fiber/PLLA systems using dual matrix composite (DMC) specimen. The decreasing rate of IFSS was the fastest in bioactive glass fiber/PLLA composites whereas that of chitosan fiber/PLLA composites was the slowest. Work of adhesion, $W_a$ between bioactive glass fiber and PLLA was the highest, and the wettability results were consistent with the IFSS. Interfacial properties and microfailure degradation mechanisms can be important factors to control bioabsorbable composite performance.

Interfacial evaluation of glass fiber reinforced carbon nanotube (CNT)-epoxy nanocomposite was investigated by micromechanical technique in combination with wettability test. The contact resistance of the CNT-epoxy nanocomposite was measured using a gradient specimen, containing electrical contacts with gradually-increasing spacing. The contact resistance of CNT-epoxy nanocomposites was evaluated by using the two-point method rather than the four-point method. Due to the presence of hydrophobic domains on the heterogeneous surface, the static contact angle of CNT-epoxy nanocomposite was about $120^{\circ}$, which was rather lower than that for super-hydrophobicity. For surface treated-glass fibers, the tensile strength decreased dramatically, whereas the tensile modulus exhibited little change despite the presence of flaws on the etched fiber surface. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between the etched glass fiber and the CNT-epoxy nanocomposites increased due to the enhanced surface energy and roughness. As the thermodynamic work of adhesion, $W_a$ increased, both the mechanical IFSS and the apparent modulus increased, which indicated the consistency with each other.

The purpose of this study was to compare the tensile bond strength of several self-adhesive resin cements bonded to dentin surfaces with different wet conditions. Three self-adhesive resin cements: Rely-X Unicem (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN. USA). Embrace Wetbond (Pulpdent. Oakland. MA. USA). Maxcem (Kerr. Orange. CA. USA) were used. Extracted sixty human molars were used. Each self-adhesive resin cement was adhered to the dentin specimens (two rectangular sticks from each molar) in different wet conditions. Tensile bond strength were measured using universal testing machine (EZ Test. Shimadzu corporation. Kyoto. Japan) at a crosshead speed of 1.0mm/min. After the testing. bonding failures of specimens were observed by Operative microscope (OPMI pro, Carl Zeiss. Oberkochen, Germany). T-test was used to evaluate the effect of dentin surface wetness. One-way ANOVA test was used to evaluate the tensile bond strength of self-adhesive resin cements in the same condition. Scheffe's test was used for statistical analyzing at the 95% level of confidence. The result showed that wetness of dentin surface didn't affect tensile bond strength of self-adhesive resin cements and Maxcem showed the lowest tensile bond strength.

The growing environmental regulation governs the use of lead by RoHS, WEEE, and then. The electronic industry is moving to replace Pb-bearing solder with Pb-free solder. To use the Pb-free solder, microelectronic industry needs consequently the new reliability appraisal such as the packaging for high temperature process, various mechanical change caused by new solder, and the development of Pb-free sloder for long life of product. The evaluation of solder bar and mechanical properties of joint were performed compared with international standard, and new appraisal standard was established. The solderability and spread ability of Sn-0.7Cu solder material showed up to the standard. Shear test of solder joint using by the solder resulted that the shear strengths after thermal shock or after aging were not much lower than the shear strength of as-soldered and that they were also up to the standard.

This study was carried out to evaluate brazing characteristics of the braze joint between superhard alloy particles and carbon steel. Two types of insert metals that made by mechanical alloying process were selected for this study. One is composed of Cu, Zn and Ag(MIM-1) and the other one is composed of Cu, Zn, Ag and Cd.(MIM-2) The chemical compositions of these insert metals were similar to AWS BAg-20 and BAg-2a system. And the commercial insert metals(CIM-1, CIM-2) were also evaluated for the comparative study. The characterization of the insert metals were conducted by wettability tests, shear tensile test and microstructural analyses. The results indicated that wettability tests displayed that MIM-1 and CIM-1 insert metals had the larger wetting angle than MIM-2 and CIM-2 and the wetting angle of the MIM-1 showed higher value than that of CIM-1. However these values are less than $25^{\circ}$ that is recommended for standard value for usual insert metals. The highest value of shear tensile tests was obtained from the brazed joint that made by MIN-1 and the value was $2.29{\times}10^2MPa$. This value is appeared to be higher or same as the commercial insert metals. The microstructures of the inserts metals were composed of Cu-rich proeutectic structure for matrix and Ag-rich eutectic structure. The braze joint between superhard alloy particles and carbon steel produced by the MIM-1(Ag-Cu-Zn) system showed sound joint showing stable microstructures. However there was also some porosities at the interface.

세라믹 강화 복합 재료의 모재로서 사용되는 무정형 PEEK가 보여주는 self-bonding 현상의 주 기구인 PEEK체인들의 확산(interdiffusion)과 뒤엉킴(entanglement)이 일어나기 위하여 PEEK의 접합 면에서 반드시 선행되어 일어나야 하는 젖음성의 정도에 미치는 접합 공정 변수의 영향을 C-mode acoustic microscopy를 이용하여 고찰하였다. 또한 self-bonding 된 PEEK시편들의 전단 변형시 전단 하중의 증가에 따라 일어나는 접합 면에서의 debonding 정도를 측정함으로써 접합 면에서 일어나는 파괴 거동을 관찰하였다. 각각의 접합 조건에서의 젖음성의 정도는 시간과 압력의 증가에 따라 다소 증가함을 보여 주었으나, 접합 온도와는 거의 무관함을 보여 주었다. 또한 전단 파괴 시험시 각각의 접합 조건 하에서 개발된 self-bonding강도의 80%-90%이상의 전단 하중이 가해진 후부터 debonding이 시작되어, 이 후 하중이 증가함에 따라 급속도로 진행되어 파괴가 일어남을 알 수 있었다.
