Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of nonthermal plasma treatment on the bond strength of autopolymerizing relining resin to the injection molded thermoplastic denture base resins (TDBRs) with different surface treatments. Materials and methods: Acrylic Resin (Acrytone), Polyester (Estheshot-Bright), Polyamide (Valplast) and Polypropylene (Weldenz) were subjected to various surface treatments: No treatment, Nonthermal plasma, Sandblasting, Sandblasting and nonthermal plasma. Specimens were bonded using an autopolymerizing relining resin. Shear bond strength was tested using universal testing machine with crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Statistical analysis by two-way analysis of variance with Tukey's test post hoc was used. Results: Acrytone showed significantly higher shear bond strength value among other TDBR group while Weldenz had the lowest. The sandblasting and nonthermal plasma condition had significantly higher shear bond strength value in all of the resin groups (P < .05). Conclusion: The use of nonthermal plasma treatment showed limited effect on the shear bond strength between TDBRs and relining resin, and combination of nonthermal plasma and sandblasting improved the shear bond strength between TDBR and reline material.

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.

In order to improve the compressive strength of graphite foams (GFms), mesophase pitch (MP) was stabilized in air atmosphere and then fluorinated at different conditions. The Fluorine/Carbon (F/C) in surface-chemical contents of fluorinated MP has range of 23.75%~61.48% according to the different fluorine partial pressure. The compressive strengths of GFms prepared from fluorinated MP were increased in proportion to the apparent densities. The compressive strength of the GFm produced from MP with 35.93% of F/C (%) showed maximum value in $2.93{\pm}0.06MPa$, which was increased up to 27.95% than that of the GFm prepared from un-fluorinated MP. This result was attributed that the interface bonding between of MPs due to fluorine functional groups with high surface energy helped to improve compressive strength of the GFm.

In this work, calcium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate as metal ionic crosslinking agents were used to introduce ionic crosslinking points to the ethylene vinylacetate (EVA) emulsions for the enhancement of water resistance and mechanical properties of emulsion films. The properties of EVA emulsion film were investigated in crosslinking density, thermal features, surface energy, and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength. With the increasing content of metal ionic crosslinking agent, the crosslinking density of the EVA emulsion film increases, resulting into the improvement of water resistance. The surface energy and mechanical properties of the EVA emulsion film, however, showed somewhat different behaviors. The highest surface energy, tensile strength, and tear strength were observed when 0.4% for calcium hydroxide and 0.5% for magnesium carbonate was added respectively, because the EVA emulsion containing carboxylic acid forms strong carboxylate-metal bond of ionically-crosslinked system. Therefore, it can be concluded that metal ionic crosslinking agents, such as magnesium carbonate and calcium hydroxide are considered to improve water resistance and mechanical properties of the EVA emulsion.

한지의 제조에 있어서 부원료인 점질물은 초지시 매우 중요한 역할을 하는데 그 주된 역 할은 다음과 같다. 먼저 점질물은 섬유의 분산을 용이하게 하고 종이의 강도를 증가시키며, 양지와는 달리 박엽지의 제조가 편리하고, 종이의 경도를 증가시키며, 습지의 처리를 용이하 게 하며, 점성으로 인하여 섬유의 침전올 방지하고, 종이의 광택을 향상시키는 둥 매우 중요 한 역할을 한다. 그러나 한지 제조시 이러한 식물성 점제의 미묘한 작용은 현재 대다수의 한지 제조 공장에서 사용하고 있는 합성점제인 PAM이나 PEO 등의 합성 고분자 화합물에 서는 기대하기 어려운 작용이라 여겨진다. 이와 같은 사실에서 본 연구에서는 전통적인 천 연점질물인 황촉규근의 점질물과 합성점제인 PAM 및 우리 나라에서 전혀 사용되지 않고 있는 나무수국 내수피의 점질물을 이용하여 한지를 제조하고 이들 한지의 특성을 SEM 및 A AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 먼저 각각의 점질물로 제조한 한지를 SEM으로 관찰한 결과 닥나무 인피섬유의 최외층에 투명막이 존재하는 사실을 발견할 수 있었다. 이러한 투명막은 닥나무나 뽕나무 인피섬유에 만 존재하고 삼지닥나무나 산닥나무 둥과 같은 기타 인피섬유에는 존재하지 않으므로 한지 의 원료 섬유의 식별에 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 또한 이러한 투명막은 섬유간 결합을 증 대시켜 한지의 강도 발현에 기여한다고 사료된다. 천연점질물인 황촉규근과 나무수국 점 질물을 이용하여 제조한 한지를 SEM 및 SEM-EDXA를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 황촉규근 점질물로 제조한 한지에는 상당량의 전분입자가 폰재하고 있었으며 나무수국 점질물로 제 조한 한지에는 침상의 수산칼슐 결정이 상당량 존재하고 있는 사실을 발견하였다. 이러한 사실은 한지 제조시 사용된 점질물의 식별에 중요한 요소라 사료된다. 한지의 원료인 닥나무 인피펄프와 침엽수 미표백 크라프트 펄프를 AFM을 이용하여 분석 한 결과, 닥나무 인피펄프의 마이크로피브릴 폭은 5-10nm로 Sw-UKP의 마이크로피브릴 폭 lO-20nm보다 매우 가늘고, 치밀한 세포벽 구조를 하고 있었다. 닥나무 인피펄프의 이러 한 세포벽 구조 및 마이크로피브렬의 형태가 Sw-UKP보다 높은 섬유강도를 나타내는 원인 이라 사료된다. 각각의 점질물을 이용하여 제조한 한지의 섬유표면을 AFM을 이용하여 관 찰한 결과, 원료펄프의 표면관찰에서와는 달리 초지시 사용된 점질물이 섬유표면을 피복하 고 있어 명확한 형태의 마이크로피브렬을 관찰할 수 가 없었다. 따라서 점질물의 이러한 역 할이 한지의 강도 및 보존성 향상에 기여하리라 사료된다.

In general, calcium is required for the reaction of blast furnace slag fine powder and fly ash. The by-products generated during the process of producing recycled aggregates have different calcium contents depending on the crushing stage and the possibility of using the process by-product as a concrete mixture is also different. In this study, the effect of the calcium content of the by-products on the compressive strength was investigated and the block was fabricated by using this. To utilize the by-products as an admixture, the calcium content was analyzed and the bending strength and surface temperature were measured according to the shape of the water storage block. As a result of this study, the possibility of making a block using recycled aggregate by-products was verified and arch type block was constructed to secure storage capacity and bending strength. Also, the surface temperature of the water storage block was reduced by $9^{\circ}C$ or more than that of the general permeable block.

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a self-curing resin mainly used in removable orthodontic appliances, is an acrylic resin mainly used in the field of modern dentistry. As an advantage, it has been used for a long time as a material for orthodontic devices in dentistry due to its color and volume, tissue affinity, and stability. The production of PMMA can be divided into self-polymerization method and thermal polymerization method according to activation method. Self-curing resins have long been used as orthodontic devices. The resin injection method is largely divided into a sprinkle-on method and a mixing method. In this study, we intend to test the mechanical properties according to the resin injection method of the orthodontic device, such as strength, modulus of elasticity, and surface roughness. There was no significant difference in strength as a result of three-point bending strength test on rectangular specimens (1.4 × 3.0 × 19.0 mm) of orthodontic PMMA. There was also no significant difference in hardness. There was no significant difference in surface roughness. It was confirmed that the orthodontic PMMA had no significant difference in mechanical properties according to the resin injection method of the orthodontic device.

The fowls manure is using as fertilizers for farmland because of enough nutrients. However, excess nutrients can be washed off during a storm and affected on nearby waterbodies. In this paper, the runoff characteristics from farmland were studied to determine the washoff mass. A lab-scale reactor was designed to estimate the surface runoff and infiltration rates according to the rainfall intensity. Surface runoff water did not occur at 10mm/hr rainfall intensity, but some runoff occurred at 20mm/hr rainfall intensity. At 32.4mm/hr rainfall intensity, it shows the highest pollutant concentrations such as 686mg/L for $BOD_5$ and at 630mg/L $COD_{Mn}$. The pollutant as based on fowls manure compost was highly washed-off by subsurface water at 32.4mm/hr rainfall intensity, however the concentration was largely decreased at 43.2mm/hr rainfall intensity. The summary of the results is that the highest wash-off concentrations value shows at 32.4mm/hr rainfall intensity for $BOD_5$ and at 67.1mm/hr for T-N and T-P.

In this work, magnesium carbonate and calcium hydroxide as metallic crosslinking agent were added to chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber (CSM) emulsion to enhance the mechanical properties of emulsion film such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear strength and crosslinking density, thermal features, and surface energy were also investigated. Crosslinking density of the CSM emulsion film with increasing the amount of magnesium carbonate and calcium hydroxide increased, leading to the enhancement of water resistance. It was shown that compared with calcium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate had a little higher crosslinking density and $T_g$ value. The surface energy and mechanical characteristics of the CSM emulsion film, however, showed somewhat different behaviors. The highest surface energy, tensile strength, and tear strength were observed when 0.75% for magnesium carbonate and 1.0% for calcium hydroxide were added respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that as metallic crosslinking agent to improve water resistance and mechanical properties of the CSM emulsion, magnesium carbonate is more preferable to calcium hydroxide.
