Translucent green colored opal glass was fabricated to substitute polycarbonate diffuser of LED lighting in order to solve the durability problem. Batch materials of green colored opal glass with the composition of calcium phosphate for opacifier and iron oxide for colorant were made and melted at $1550^{\circ}C$. As the results, translucent green colored opal glass was obtaind, which had excellent optical properties compare with nomal color glass for the diffuser of LED lighting, with no dazzling from direct light by high haze value over 90 % and low parallel transmittance value about 1 %. Therefore, it is concluded that this translucent green colored opal glass can be used for the glass diffuser materials of LED lighting with high heat resistance and high durability to substitute polycarbonate diffuser.

This study has focused on transparency recovering of the polycarbonate by polishing its surface for recycling. The polycarbonate has many properties such as excellent mechanical strength, electrical insulating, superior heat resistance to other plastic material and especially good transparency. It has been used as barrier for the traffic noise at the roadside and the greenhouse for the palm house. But the polycarbonate has changed slightly as time goes by 10 years because of exposure to the strong sunlight and oxidization in the atmosphere, as result has lost its transparency. Magnetic assisted polishing has been utilized as an effective polishing method to recover the transparency of polycarbonate. The polycarbonate which has been used for 10 years was adopted as the sample. The first surface roughness of the sample was 1$1.23{\mu}mRa$, $7.5{\mu}mRz(DIN)$ respectively. In the experimental results, it showed that the surface roughness of the polished sample improved $0.013{\mu}mRa$, $0.08{\mu}mRz(DIN)$ from the first surface roughness respectively. The surface roughness get almost back again by magnetic assisted polishing. These results also showed that the magnetic assisted polishing was efficient machining method to reuse the polycarbonate material.

Inductively coupled low temperature plasmas with oxygen, argon, mixture of oxygen and argon, and nitrogen have been used to modify polycarbonate(PC) films at the various process conditions. All plasma treatments generally had a tendency to increase the surface roughness of PC regardless of process conditions. The treatment of oxygen plasma showed the highest value in the surface roughness and mostly enhanced the generation of oxygen containing polar groups as much as 43% in comparison of untreated PC. The contact angle of untreated PC decreased from $82.31^{\circ}$ to the lowest value of $9.17^{\circ}$ after oxygen plasma treatment. The increase of RF delivered power had an effect on the rapid reduction of contact angle, but gas flow rates did not effect to reduce contact angles so much.

The previous studies for dynamic behavior of spatial structure have been zoomed in on roof structure by numerical analytic method. But the roof structure of real spatial structures is supported by lower structure as column and wall. So, when earthquake is occurred, it is predicted that dynamic behavior of roof structure is affected by lower structure. Therefore, on this study, natural period characteristics of arch structures are analyzed according to section, length and the modulus of elasticity of brass column and polycarbonate column and additional mass of roof structure by the scale-down model of arch structure as the most simple structure of spatial structures. The changes of natural periods are generally alike. But, when Polycarbonate column is connected to roof structure, the change of natural period for change of section is relatively large. That means that change of section and section and length of column and additional mass of roof structure have less influence on change of stiffness because the modulus of elasticity of brass is relatively large.

Part shrinkage in injection molding is inevitable phenomenon. Thus, it is necessary not only study on the reducing part shrinkage but characterization of part shrinkage. In this study, part shrinkage in injection molded 2.5 dimensional annular shaped specimens has been studied using glass fiber reinforced PC. Annular shaped specimens were designed with various sizes of outer diameter and thickness. Injection temperature, packing time and packing pressure were selected for operational conditions. Profile variations of outer and inner diameters of molded specimens for various operational conditions were investigated. Sizes of outer and inner diameters of injection molded specimens were smaller than the sizes of mold. Part shrinkage decreased as outer diameter and thickness increased. Part shrinkage showed anisotropic behavior and it depended upon gate location. Subsequently, molded specimens were not circular but oval in shape, and showed the largest shrinkage in the direction of gate. It was realized that the mold design such as gate design is important to control the shape of molded products.

Effects of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) type and flow type (shear and elongational flow) on the electrical conductivity of polycarbonate (PC)/ MWCNT nanocomposites were investigated. Two different MWCNTs produced a huge difference in electrical conductivity in an injection molded PC/MWCNT nanocomposite. It was observed that MWCNTs having a higher aspect ratio provide much lower electrical conductivity in injection molded PC/MWCNT nanocomposites while the conductivities of compression molded samples from two different MWCNTs were the same. We found that this is due to a difference in the deformability of the two MWCNTs. As the aspect ratio of the MWCNT increases, the orientation of MWCNT by the external force becomes easier and the conductive path diminishes. Consequently the conductivity of the nanocomposites decreases. Nanocomposite samples prepared at a higher extensional rate and shear rate showed lower electrical conductivity. This is also attributed to the flow induced orientation and reduced conductive path of the MWCNTs. The experimental results were discussed in relation to variation in the tube-tube contact due to the change of the MWCNT orientation.

Most plastics products are being produced by injection molding process. However, mold shrinkage is inevitable in injection molding process and it deteriorates dimensional quality through deflections and warpages. Mold shrinkage depends upon the material property of resin as well as injection molding condition. In this study, material property of resin has been predicted for glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate to control the warpage, and computer simulation of injection molding has been performed using predicted property. It was observed that the deflection of part decreased by the glass fiber reinforced resin. In order to verify the validity of this method and confidence of results, experiments of injection molding were performed. The results of experiments and computer simulations showed good agreement in their tendency of deflections. Consequently, it was concluded that the method of designing the material property of resin conducted in this study can be utilized to control the dimensional accuracy of injection molded products.

A method for the depolymerization of polycarbonate waste by glycolysis using ethylene glycol without catalyst was explored in order to get the monomer bisphenol A (BPA). The effect of operation variables such as reaction time, reaction temperature, EG/PC weight ratio and the kinetic of glycolysis were studied. It was found that the polymerization reaction has two different activation energies depending on the reaction temperature. A drop in activation energy with temperature indicates that the reaction mechanism has shifted from one of a succession of elementary steps to another in the series. The maximum yield of BPA of 95.6% was achieved at reaction temperature $220^{\circ}C$ for 85min with EG/PC weight ratio 4.

The major advantage of transparent materials over traditional materials in noise barriers is aesthetics. The transparent panel materials such as clear plastic or glass are an ideal way of reducing or virtually eliminating the visual impact of a noise barrier. With the use of transparent materials, the drivers' view of the roadside and the sunlight penetration to the highway would not be blocked. With the use of transparent materials, the highway and barrier appear less imposing. Korean Industrial Standards for soundproof panels have been established. But, transparent soundproof panels are not included in this standards. And, some specifications provide only a few basic characteristics for transparent soundproof panels. To develop guidelines on quality criteria for transparent soundproof panel, their mechanical properties such as wind load resistance, safety under impact, and abrasion resistance were experimentally investigated.

1. 서론 : 열유도 상분리법(TIPS)은 일반적으로 상온에서 적정용매가 없는 고분자 소재를 아용하여 고분자-희석제 2성분계의 혼합물을 적절한 냉각 속도로 상분리 온도 이하로 급냉시켜 연속상과 분산상의 상분리를 일으킨 후 matrix전체에 다공성을 부여하여 분리막을 제조하는 공정이다. 폴리올레핀계 고분자를 중심으로 나일론11. 폴리카보네이트, PVC, ABS 수지 등을 소재로 plasmapheresis, 인공심폐기, breathing wear 등의 용도로 많이 응용되어 왔으며 현재 한외여과나 정밀여과 등 수투과 공정 및 battery separator 등으로의 응용이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. TIPS공정에 의해 제조된 고분자 분리막은 기존의 분리막에 비해 내열성 및 내약품성이 우수하며 여러 가지 다양한 변수로 부터 막의 미세구조를 조절할 수 있어 기공의 크기 및 모양이 조절 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 TIPS 공정을 이용한 고분자 분리막의 제조시 take-up speed와 air gap 등을 변화시켜 이에 따른 영향을 조사하였고 또한 cold stretching에 의한 구조변화를 알아보았다.
