The R&D paradigm for the Materials Technologies involving Environmental Consciousness(MTEC) is sought in this paper with an emphasis on the background and importance of the METC. In this paper the MTEC is defined as "Green Materials Technology", and the Green Materials Technology is classified into four categories based on life cycle of the materials; \circled1Ecomaterials technology(materials design), \circled2Envimatec technology (manufacturing process), \circled3Materials life technology (use & maintenance) and \circled4Materials recycling technology (waste disposal). Each these four categories was introduced. In conclusion, the main R&D field and strategies for the four categories of the Green Materials Technology were suggested.

The aim of study was to suggest a methodology for applying cleaner production technology in dyeing & finishing process of textile materials. To accomplish cleaner production, we performed consulting activity in dyeing factory, which composed of following different procedures. First, we organized consulting team with specialists for dyeing, energy and chemicals, and visited dyeing companies for the purpose of doing basic investigation such as analysis of process, chemicals & effluents, condition of equipment and process flow of products. Environmental aspect of raw materials (dyestuff, chemicals) was assessed by TOC, COD, BOD, and effluent of that was assessed by TOC, COD, BOD, TDS and pH. Second, We find out the problems in dyeing&finishing process from the view point of dyeing process, energy, raw materials and process management by utilizing MB (material balance), LCA(Life Cycle Assessment), EB(Energy Balance). Third, we generated the solutions to achieve optimal process condition by brain storming method, and then implemented the solutions to each process. Finally, we determined their effectiveness after considering the results of repeating trials for the solutions. Cleaner production could be achieved by keeping optimal process conditions, equipment modification, improved production management, and on-site reuse or recycling.

In this study, we found out the relation between $FeCl_3$ recovering-concentration and stage number of extraction process for invar (Fe+Ni) etching process. In order to get the desired $FeCl_3$ recovering-concentration economically, we developed the simulation program for designing the optimal $FeCl_3$ extraction process. We got the key parameter for this simulation program through pilot scale experiments. The process simulation by the developed program could reduce the emission of waste etching solution as well as the treatment costs. In addition, the developed program could calculate the number of stage of the etchant recovering system and the process time to get the desired concentration of $FeCl_3$. This program was used to compute the optimal capacity of the etchant recovering system and applied to the optimization of the stage of the etchant recovering system in real IT industry.

Thermally conductive materials are widely used in various applications where effective heat dissipation is required. Graphene shows high potential for various uses owing to high electrical conductivity, good mechanical strength, and high thermal conductivity. Generally previous works used organic solvents are generally used for the dispersion of graphene in fabrication procedure. In order to achieve clean fabrication it is required to use water media. In this study, we fabricated graphene attached poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microsphere via microfluidic method. With the aid of surfactant, graphene was well dispersed in water which was used as continuous flow. Thermal conductivity was improved with the small amount of graphene addition and this indicate potential use of this system for thermally conductive composite material.

High temperature high cycle and low cycle fatigue deformation behavior of automotive heat resistant aluminum alloys (A356 and A319 based) were investigated in this study. The microstructures of both alloys were composed of primary Al-Si dendrite and eutectic Si phase. However, the size and distribution for eutectic Si phase varied: a coarse and inhomogeneous distributed was observed in alloy B (A319 based). A brittle intermethallic phase of ${\alpha}-Fe\;Al_{12}(Fe,Mn)_3Si_2$ was detected only in B alloy. Alloy B exhibited high fatigue life only under a high stress amplitued condition in the high cycle fatigue results, whereas alloy A showed high fatigue life when stress was lowered. With regard to the low-cycle fatigue result ($250^{\circ}C$) showing higher fatigue life as ductility increased, alloy A demonstrated higher fatigue life under all of the strain amplitude conditions. Fractographic observations showed that large porosities and pores near the outside surface could be the main factor in the formation of fatigue cracks. In alloy B. micro-cracks were formed in both the brittle intermetallic and coarse Si phasese. These micro-cracks then coalesced together and provided a path for fatigue crack propagation. From the observation of the differences in microstructure and fractography of these two automotive alloys, the authors attempt to explain the high-temperature fatigue deformation behavior of heat resistant aluminum alloys.

산업기술의 고도화에 따른 IT 산업의 급속한 발전으로 각종 전자, 정보통신기기에 대해 더욱 소형화 고성능화를 요구하고 있다. 이와 같은 경향에 따라 더욱 향상된 기능을 가지고 각종 소자 부품의 개발과 동시에 유독 물질 발생이 없는 청정생산기술 개발에 대한 요구가 끊임없이 제기 되어 왔다. 이러한 요구에 부응하여 기술들이 개발되고 있으며 그 중의 하나로 잉크젯 프린팅 기술이 연구되고 있다. 특히 Dod(Drop on Demand) 방식의 잉크젯은 가정용 프린터로 개발되어 널리 보급된 기술이지만, 이 기술을 PCB 제조기술에 전용하면 친환경 생산공정으로 부품 성장밀도를 증대 시킬 수 있다. 기존의 PCB 제조기술은 전극과 신호 패턴을 형성시키기 위하여 노광공정과 에칭공정을 반복적으로 사용하고 있는데, 노광공정에서 쓰이는 마스크와 유틸리티 설비 유지 비용의 문제가 대두되고 있다. 노즐로부터 분사된 잉크 액적들의 집합으로 기판위에 점/선/면의 인쇄이미지를 구현하게 된다. 그러므로 인쇄 해상도는 잉크액적 및 인쇄 방법, 기판과의 상호작용에 크게 의존하게 된다. 잉크 액적과 기판의 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 요소로는 잉크의 물리화학적 물성(밀도, 점도, 표면장력), 잉크 액적의 충돌 조건(액적 지름, 부피, 속도), 그리고 기판의 특성(친수/소수성, Porous/Nonporous, 표면조도 등)을 들 수 있겠다. 우선적으로 노즐을 통과해서 분사되는 액적의 크기에 따라 기판위에 형성되는 라인의 두께 및 폭이 결정된다. 떨어진 액적이 기판위에서 퍼지는 것을 UV 조사를 통한 가경화 과정을 통해서 최종적으로 라인의 투께 및 폭을 조절하려고 한다. 따라서 선폭 $75{\mu}m$의 일정한 미세 배선을 형성시키기 위해 액적 크기 조절과 탄착 resist 액적 표면의 UV 가경화 조건으로 구현하려고 한다. 또한 DPI(Dot Per Inch) 조절을 통한 인쇄로 탄착 resist의 두께 확보 후 에칭시 박리되는 현상을 억제 시키려 한다.

As a result of the recent social transformation towards a hydrogen economy and carbon-neutrality, the demands for hydrogen energy have been increasing rapidly worldwide. As such, eco-friendly hydrogen production technologies that do not produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are being focused on. Among them, ammonia (NH₃) is an economical hydrogen carrier that can easily produce hydrogen (H₂). In this study, Ru/Al₂O₃ catalyst coated onmetallic monolith for hydrogen production from ammonia was prepared by a dip-coating method using a catalyst slurry mixture composed of Ru/Al₂O₃ catalyst, inorganic binder (alumina sol) and organic binder (methyl cellulose). At the optimized 1:1:0.1 weight ratio of catalyst/inorganic binder/organic binder, the amount of catalyst coated on the metallic monolith after one cycle coating was about 61.6 g L^-1. The uniform thickness (about 42 ㎛) and crystal structure of the catalyst coated on the metallic monolith surface were confirmed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Also, a numerical optimization regression equation for NH3 conversion according to the independent variables of reaction temperature (400-600 ℃) and gas hourly space velocity (1,000-5,000 h^-1) was calculated by response surface methodology (RSM). This model indicated a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.991 and had statistically significant predictors. This regression model could contribute to the commercial process design of hydrogen production by ammonia decomposition.
