This study was conducted to investigate the effects of concrete flexural strength and surface smoothness, which were pay factors of concrete pavements, on pavement performance, and to develop the methodologies to determine the proper allowable ranges according to the magnitudes of those pay factors. The concrete flexural strength was analyzed using the AASHTO, power, and linear fatigue failure models, and the surface smoothness was analyzed for the roughness indices of PSI, IRI, and PrI using the AASHTO model. The analysis results showed that the allowable range of the flexural strength should be determined using the rate between the deficiency and strength, and the penalty should be linearly proportional to the strength deficiency rate because the linear relationship between the strength deficiency rate and the reduction in pavement life was observed. As the initial surface smoothness became better, the smoothness deficiency rate should be larger. The penalty due to the surface smoothness deficiency should also be linearly proportional to the smoothness deficiency rate.

Enhancement of bond strength between new and old composite usually requires increasing the surface roughness to promote mechanical interlocking. This study evaluated the effect of different surface treatments on repair bond strength of resin composite after aging condition. Air abrasion with Al2O3, chairside silicacoating, and silanization provided higher resin-resin bond strength values compared to control group and HF group. Air abrasion is necessary to repair a resin restoration and additional application of silane seems to have good effects on bond strength.

고분자 복합체 절연재료는 porcelain 이나 glass 같은 세라믹 소재의 재료와 비교하여 옥외사용 시간의 관점에서 더 뛰어난 특정을 발휘한다. 그러나 노화되었을 때, 이들 옥외용 절연재료의 성질은 발수성이나 흡수성등과 같은 절연재료의 표면특성에 의해 변화한다. 이러한 표면특성의 변화는 누설전류에 의한 트래킹 (tracking), 침식 (erosion) 및 섬락현상(flashover) 등의 유전체 파괴에 이르게 한다. 본 연구에서는 고분자 복합체 절연재료로 널리 이용되고 있는 EPDM의 발수특성을 향상시키기 위해 기존에 이용되던 무기물 첨가제인 alumina hydrate(ATH)이외에 발수성이 뛰어난 실리콘 고무를 상용화제를 이용하여 블렌드하고, 각종 유기 첨가제 및 무기물 보강제를 이용하여 EPDM/Silicone 복합체를 제조하였다. EPDM/Silicone 복합체의 인장강도 및 유전강도는 실리콘의 함량이 증가할수록 낮아졌으며, 촉진 노화시험을 실시한 결과 $120^{\circ}C$까지 인장강도 및 신율을 유지하였다. 유전강도의 측정결과 복합체의 접촉각과 표면에너지 측정결과 Silicone 고무의 함량이 증가할수록 접촉각은 증가하고, 표면에너지는 낮아졌다. 경사평판법에의한 내트래킹성 측정결과 실리콘 함량이 증가할수록 내트래킹성은 우수하였으며, 실리콘 함량이 30%인 복합체에서는 트래킹 및 침식이 진행되지 않았다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of etching surface treatment and aging treatment of zirconia on the shear bond strength between zirconia core and veneered ceramic. Four groups of zirconia-ceramic specimens were prepared; 1) NEZ group (no etching zirconia), 2) EZ group (etching zirconia), 3) ANEZ group (aging and no etching zirconia), 4) AEZ group (aging and etching zirconia). The shear bond strength between zirconia and porcelain was measured using Instron Universal Testing Machine. Surface texture with crystalline structure of zirconia surface was examined by the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with ingredient analysis. The fractured surfaces of specimens were examined to determine the failure pattern by a digital microscope. The mean${\pm}$standard deviation of shear bond strengths were $23.47{\pm}3.47$ Mpa in NEZ, $28.30{\pm}4.34$ Mpa in EZ, $21.85{\pm}4.65$ Mpa in ANEZ, $24.65{\pm}3.65$ Mpa in AEZ group, respectively, and were significantly different (p<0.05). The average shear bond strength was largest in EZ group, followed by AEZ, NEZ, and ANEZ groups. Most specimens in NEZ group showed adhesive failure and most specimens in EZ, AEZ, and ANEZ group showed mixed failure. Surface of etching treatment group (EZ and AEZ) showed complex micro-structure and irregular surface texture which may facilitate mechanical interlocking, while untreated zirconia surface presented simpler micro-structure. In conclusion, an etching treatment improved bonding strength between zirconia and porcelain by forming mechanical interlocking.

Purpose: Many studies have shown that airborne-particle abrasion of fiber post can improve the bonding strength to resin cement. But, airborne-particle abrasion may influence the property of fiber post. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of airborne-particle abrasion on flexural strength of fiber post. Materials and Methods: Two fiber-reinforced posts; DT Light Post Size 2 (1.8 mm diameter, Bisco Inc) and RelyX Fiber Post Size 3 (1.9 mm diameter, 3M ESPE); were used in this study. Each group was divided into 3 subgroups according to different surface treatments; without pretreatment: $50{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide (Cobra$^{(R)}$, Renfert): and $30{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide modified with silica (Rocatec Soft$^{(R)}$, 3M ESPE). After airborne-particle abrasion procedure, three-point bending test was done to determine the flexural strength and flexural modulus. The diameter of each posts was measured to an accuracy of 0.01 mm using a digital micrometer. There was no diameter change before and after airborneparticle abrasion. The mean flexural moduli and flexural strengths calculated using the appropriate equations. The results were statistically analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Scheffe's post-hoc test at 95% confidencial level. Results: There was no significant difference on flexural strength between groups. Conclusion: In the limitation of this study, flexural strength and flexural modulus of fiber post are not affected by airborne-particle abrasion.

This study was to investigate the effect of the new surface treatment method of zirconia on the shear bond strength with resin cement. The zirconia specimens were classified according to the surface treatment. CON: non-treatment, HF: 10 minutes exposure to 9% HF, ZS15: Apply 15% ZrO2 slurry, ZS30: Apply 30% ZrO2 slurry, ZS50: Apply 50% ZrO2 slurry. The resin cement was layered on the surface treated zirconia, and the shear bond strength between the zirconia and the resin cement was measured after thermo-cycling. The statistical methods for shear bond strength were Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Bonferroni correction(α=.05/10=.005). ZS15, ZS30, and ZS50 groups treated with zirconia slurry showed higher shear bond strength than CON and HF groups(p<.05/10=.005). Within the limits of this study, the surface treatment using zirconia slurry increased the shear bond strength with resin cement. The new surface treatment method complements and improves the limitations of the adhesion of zirconia, so that various clinical applications of zirconia can be expected.

전적으로 해외기술에 의존하고 있는 소프트 닙 캘린더 피복의 국산화를 위해 시험 제작 된 소프트 닙 캘린더용 연질롤의 캘린더링 효과를 구명하기 위해서 공정 변수에 따른 신문 용지의 물성변화를 평가하였다. 연질 롤로는 (주)광성고무롤에서 시험제작된 경도 90 Shore D의 것을 사용하였으며, 캘린 더링 시의 압력, 가열 롤의 표면온도, 닙 체류 시간, 유입지의 함수율 변화에 따른 신문용지 의 별크, 평활도, 광택도, 인장강도, 인열강도, 불투명도 변화를 조사하였다. 별크는 캘린더링 시 압력, 가열 롤의 표면온도, 닙 체류시간의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 가열 롤의 표면온도가 높을수록 별크가 크게 감소되었으며, 닙 체류시간이 짧은 경우에는 1 120 226;C 이하에서 캘린더링을 실시하는 것이 별크 유지에 효과적이었다. 평활도는 가열 롤의 표연 온도, 닙 체류시간이 증가함에 따라 개선되었으며, 선압과 함 수율 증가에 의해서도 상승되는 경향을 보였. 인장강도는 유입지의 함수율, 닙 체류시간, 가열 롤의 표면온도가 모두 상승할 경우 증 가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이는 함수율 증가에 의해 섬유의 유연성이 향상된 상태에서는 칼렌더링 온도와 닙체류 시간 증가에 의한 섬유의 기계적 변형과 열전달에 의한 섬유의 열 변형이 효과적으로 발생하여 섬유간 결합면적이 증가된 결과로 생각되었다. 인열강도는 소프트닙 캘린더링 후 전반적으로 감소하였으나 캘린더링 온도와 닙체류시 간은 인열강도에 미치는 영향은 적은 것으로 나타났다. 소프트 닙 캘린더링 시 발생하는 인 열강도의 저하를 막기 위해서는 닙 체류시간을 짧게 적용하고 섬유의 열변형이 종이의 표변 에서만 일어날 수 있도록 유입지 함수율과 가열롤의 표면온도를 적절히 조절하는 것이 필요 하리라 판단되었다.광택도는 온도와 압력이 증가할수록 증가하였으나, 닙 체류시간에 따라서는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았으며 120도씨에서는 닙 체류시간의 증가에 따라 광택도가 오히려 감소하기도 하였다. 불투명도는 벌크와 마찬가지로 압력이 높고 가열롤의 표면온도가 높은 경우 낮게 나타 났다 특히 닙 체류시간의 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다.보였다.

In this study, the mechanical properties of a carbon fiber/polypropylene composite were evaluated according to the carbon fiber surface treatment. Carbon fiber surface treatments such as silane coupling agents and plasma treatment were performed to enhance the interfacial strength between carbon fibers and polypropylene. The treated carbon fiber surface was characterized by XPS, SEM, and single-filament tensile test. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the composite with respect to the surface treatment was determined by a short beam shear test. The test results showed that the ILSS of the plasma-treated specimen increased with the treatment time. The ILSS of the specimen treated with a silane coupling agent after plasma treatment increased by 48.7% compared to that of the untreated specimen.
