11-Aminododecanoic acid, to insert the functional group of -COOH reacted with the end group of poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) diol, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMA), to increase the d-spacing of Montmorillonite (MMT), were intercalated into $Na^+;_-$MMT. The modified MMT was reacted with poly(${varepsilon}-caprolactone$) diol ($M_n{=2000$) in THF solution at $80^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs. After reaction, poly(${varepsilon}-caprolactone$) ($M_n{=80000$) was mixed into the solution for 12 hrs. To prepare the PCL/clay nanocomposite film this solution was cast into the silicon mold at $60^{\circ}C$ in vacuum oven for 6 hrs. From the results of XRD and TEM, it was found that the exfoliated PCL/clay nanocomposite were prepared. The effects of the amount of MMT on the mechanical properties and thermal properties of PCL/clay nanocomposites have been investigated by tensile tester and DSC. Because the MMT was dispersed homogeneously in PCL matrix, the Young's modulus of the nanocomposite were found to be excellent. However, MMT dispersed in PCL matrix had almost no effect on the tensile strength of the composites. The crystallization temperature of PCL increased in proportion to 3 wt% MMT in the PCL matrix.

For the process control of silicon nitride gelcasting, the composition effect of acryamide system on the viscosity of slip and mechanical property of gelcast green body were investigated. The slip was prepared by ball milling of silicon nitride suspension prepared with acrylamide monomer and polyelectrolyte dispersant after premixing them by attritor. The slip mixed with initiator was vacuum deaired and cast into molds, and then polymerized. The consolidated green body was obtained by drying the gelated slip. The viscosity measument and the diametral compression test was done to evaluate the rheological behaviro of slip and mechanical property of gelcast body, respectively. Experimental results showed that the high solid loading of silicon nitride slip was obtained up to 46 vol% with a low viscosity. The mechanical property of gelcast body mainly increased with increasing the concentration of monomer. The gelcast body was machinable above the ∼3 MPa of tensile strength. The relative density of pressured-sintered body was 98.5% at 1760$^{\circ}C$, 3 h.

In this paper, we have developed the vacuum infusion automation system for the safety and quality advancement of the boat. It is necessary for the precise mixing rate of resinoid and curingagent to inject in an inner ship and deck at short time. We need for the optimal condition to a strengthen construction of boat. This one can solve the post deformability of the strengthen structure and can control the precise mixing rate of resinoid and curingagent to the resinoid fluidity and flowing rate per time. Under these condition, we can advance the an quality construction that based on the model and database information of the boat. Also, we can have an effective process management and retrench the production cost.

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is an effective and cost efficient method of removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and petroleum hydrocarbons from unsaturated soils. However, soil vapor extraction becomes ineffective in soils with low gas permeability, for example soils with air permeabilities less than 1 Darcy. Incorporating PVDs in an SVE system can extend the effectiveness of SVE to lower permeability soils by shortening the air flow-paths and ultimately expediting contaminant removal. The objective of the research described herein was to effectively incorporate PVDs into a SVE remediation system. The test results show that the gas permeability was evaluated for four different equivalent diameters, increasing the equivalent diameter results in a decrease in the calculated gas permeability. It was found that the porosity for the dry condition was greater than that of the wet condition and will allow flow rate for the same vacuum flow, offering a low resistance to the air flow.

Salt is the most important substance in physiological activities of the human body concerning transport of the ingested nutrients into the blood. Thus, the most ideal salt must not contain any harmful ingredients such as cadmium, mercury, lead, and arsenic. However, it is legal to include trace amounts of the hazardous ingredients in salt owing to a technical limitation, because salt is generally obtained from seawater. This paper reported an experimental result about a new method of manufacturing high-quality table salts without hazardous ingredients by using "$15^{\circ}C$ low-temperature vacuum drying technology," applied to the sequential extraction phenomenon of seawater with increasing the concentration. The world's best table salt can be produced if the present results are applied and extended to the traditional solar salt industry.

Changes in hot-taste component during the after-ripening period of hot pepper fruit were surveyed and summarized as follows; (1) Capsaicinoid contents were steadily increased as the after-ripening proceeded when physiological activity of the sample was suppressed during each stage of the ripening with the vacuum dry freezing. (2) It was assumed by determining phenylalanine contents and activities of phenylalanine ammonialyase to see synthetical process of capsaicin in the metabolic part of vanillylamine that there is a gradual synthesis and accumulation of capsaicin during the after-ripening period. (3) Lignin-like substances, as in the case of capsaicinoid, showed a steady increase during the after-ripening period. (4) The contents of polyphenolic compounds and polyphenol oxidase activity were higher with low temperature treatment.

The deacidified oil obtained from the oleaginous fungus, Mortierella sp. (M-12) was bleached, after degumming, using activated clay under a 50-100 mmHg vacuum. The bleaching conditions were partially optimized as follows: activated clay, 1%, bleaching temperature $90^{\circ}C$, and treatment time 20 min. After bleaching, the color of bleached oil as determined by the Lovibond Tintometer, satisfied the specification for edible fats and oils. The bleaching process also decreased the contents of free fatty acids and phosphorus in the deacidified oil. The acid value of the bleached oil also satisfied the specification for edible fats and oils. It was early shown that the normal bleaching process can be used for the bleaching of heavily-colored microbial lipids for human consumption.

Polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) are key components to determine electrochemical fuel cell performances, in addition to electrode materials. The PEMs need to satisfy selective transport behaviors to small molecules including gases and protons; the PEMs have to transport protons as fast as possible, while they should act as hydrogen barriers, since the permeated gas induces the thermal degradation of cathode catalyst, resulting in rapid electrochemical reduction. To date, limited tools have been used to measure how fast hydrogen gas permeates through PEMs (e.g., Constant volume/variable Pressure (time-lag) method). However, most of the measurements are conducted under vacuum where PEMs are fully dried. Otherwise, the obtained hydrogen permeance is easily changeable, which causes the measurement errors to be large. In this study, hydrogen permeation properties through Nafion212 used as a standard PEM are evaluated using an in-situ measurement system in which both temperature and humidity are controlled at the same time.

In order to build a ship, painting on ship cargo tank is one of the most dangerous parts as it involves working in high altitudes and a closed ship cargo tank. Therefore, researchers have been developing devices that will enable mobile robots to operate on vertical walls. The wall-climbing robots have been widely used to attach on the wall such as suction types. These types can be utilized regardless of the wall material. However, it is required to adhere and control the suction cups. To moderate this drawbacks, this paper proposes an automatic painting robot that uses a permanent magnet mobile robot. Using the magnetic characteristics, this robot can move on the boat vertically and horizontally even while hanging on the ceiling of the ship cargo tank. Also, we made a prototype to test adhesive force of the permanent magnet wheel and mobile robot as well as the towing capacity and auto-piloting ability.
