Interfacial properties and electrical sensing fer fiber fracture in carbon and SiC fibers/epoxy composites were investigated by the electrical resistance measurement and fragmentation test. As fiber-embedded angle increased, the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of two-type fiber composites decreased, and the elapsed time takes long until the infinity in electrical resistivity. The initial slope of electrical resistivity increased rapidly to the infinity at higher angle, whereas electrical resistivity increased gradually at small angle. Furthermore, both fiber composites with small embedded angle showed a fully-developed stress whitening pattern, whereas both composites with higher embedded angle exhibited a less developed stress whitening pattern. As embedded angle decreased, the gap between the fragments increased and the debonded length was wider for both fiber composites. Electro-micromechanical technique could be a feasible nondestructive evaluation to measure interfacial sensing properties depending on the fiber-embedded angle in conductive fiber reinforced composites.

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of variables in preparing TFC membrane by interfacial polymerization. Obtained results are as follow: As the concentration of MPD increses, the rejection rate incresed, the total volume flux was decresed. As the dipping time in MPD solution increases, the rejection rate increased, the total volume flux was increased until reach optimum point. As the dipping time in TMC solution increses, the total volume flux increased, the rejection rate was increased until reach optimum point. As the curing temperature increases, the total volume flux increased was an optimum point in the rejection rate. Since the quantity of generating hydrochloric acid was small, the required quantity of NaOH for neutriliztion was small. The post-treatment with ethanol, isopropanol and water in the temprerature ranging of $5~7^{\circ}C$ brought an increment of the rejection and the total volume flux, For water temperature ranging of $5~7^{\circ}C$was the optimum temperature in the post treatment.

Pot life of two-component adhesives such as epoxy resin used in saturating FRP composite is defined as a certain time periods which can guarantee the bond performance and workability of epoxy resin. Therefore, adhesion procedure in strengthening RC members should be completed before chemical hardening is going on at job site. It has been known that there are two types of test method to evaluate the pot life of structural adhesive based on apparent viscosity or temperature change. This study is to verify the test methods how to assess pot life of structural adhesive for FRP composites by means of changing in apparent viscosity and means of exothermic reaction temperature proposed in existing test standards. Results of each test method were compared and analyzed, and reasonable test and evaluation method were suggested.

허니컴 코아 구조는 강성과 강도가 뛰어나 건축물의 내장재 등 많은 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 특히 허니컴 종이는 생산 단가가 낮으며 재활용이 가능하여 환경오염을 일으키지 않는다. 그러나, 종이 재료의 특성상 화재에 취약하여 난연화 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 방화문 내장재 및 포장재에 보편적으로 사용되는 허니컴 중이의 난연 처리 방법에 따른 난연 성능을 평가하였다. 연구 대상으로는 난연종이로 제작된 허니컴과 실험실에서 제작된 방염 필름을 부착한 허니컴, 난연제 함침을 통해 제작된 허니컴, 난연제 함침 후 방염 필름을 부착한 허니컴을 포함해 총 4종에 관한 난연 성능을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 난연제를 함침한 허니컴 종이가 가장 낮은 열방출률을 보여주었으며, 방염 필름 부착은 착화 시간 지연에는 효과가 있었으나 열방출률에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.

Deterioration and weakening is advanced in compliance with flowing of time and the change of environment in RC structures. Consequently, strength and serviceability decreases, finally, the life of infrastructure shortens and safety characteristics decreases. Accordingly, in this study, a new method to develop a strengthening method using the vacuum impregnation, which increases durability of the infrastructure occurred the safety reduction due to the performance degradation and increases the life of infrastructure by improving the durability compared to the existing method, was planned. For flexural tests, the maximum strength was a low-end order from high order as follows: (1) vacuum impregnation with 2 fold reinforcement, (2) fiber sheet 2 fold reinforcement, (3) vacuum impregnation with 1 fold reinforcement, (4) fiber sheet 1 fold reinforcement, and (5) nothing. Also, for confirmation results about durability, when the fiber reinforcement is being exposed to the inferior environment, the remaining tensile strength exceeded of 90% or more for all environments. This is because the reinforcement used in this research shows the excellent resistance in severe environment.

The impregnation of solid foods into the surrounding hypotonic or hypertonic solution was explored as a method to infuse NaCl in pork loin cube without altering its matrix. Mass transfer kinetics using a diffusive model as the mathematical model for moisture gain/loss and salt gain and the resulting textural properties were studied for the surrounding solutions of NaCl 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 15% (w/w). It was possible to access the effects of brine concentration on the direction of the resulting water flow, quantify water and salt transfer, and confirm tenderization effect by salt infusion. For brine concentrations up to 10% it was verified that meat samples gained water, while for processes with 15% concentration, pork loin cubes lost water. The effective diffusion coefficients of salt ranged from 2.43×10^-9 to 3.53×10^-9 m²/s, while for the values of water ranged from 1.22×10^-9 to 1.88×10^-9 m²/s. The diffusive model was able to represent well salt gain rates using a single parameter, i.e. an effective diffusion coefficient of salt through the meat. However, it was not possible to find a characteristic effective diffusion coefficient for water transfer. Within the range of experimental conditions studied, salt-impregnated samples by 5% (w/w) brine were shown with minimum hardness, chewiness and shear force.

Applying acrylic silane monomer for determent of weathering damage of stone cultural assets from various sources was investigated to improve inorganic affinity of polymer impregnated to the stone for conservation treatment using impregnation of acrylic polymers under pressure. Radical polymerization was carried out with various mixture ratios of methacrylate (MMA), as the base monomer, and vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTMS). Subsequently, according to the changes of glass transition temperatures, average molecular weights, and storage moduli of the obtained copolymers, the case of adding 1 wt% of benzoyl peroxide, polymerization for 8 hrs, and mixing 5 mol% of VTMS to MMA was the optimum condition of monomer ratio and polymerization. Practically, fresh granites collected in domestic site and weathered stones were treated by following the obtained result above, and then, the moisture absorption, impact, acid resistance, and adhesion properties of the treated stones were compared to those of the corresponding stones treated with MMA only. It was found that those properties of the stones treated with PMV5 were considerably improved.

In this study, three softwood species were treated with water-soluble melamine resin by different concentration and treatment time under vacuum pressure for improving mechanical property, abrasion resistance, and incombustibility. After the treatment, a compreg was manufactured and then evaluated on physical properties. Additionally, incombustibility of compreg was determined by comparing with a wood that was treated by spraying a water-soluble fire retardant on surface. As concentration of resin increased, bending strength and Brinell hardness increased as well as abrasion resistance, but there was no correlation on treatment and mechanical properties by treatment time. The wood impregnated by water-soluble melamine resin under vacuum pressure showed better incombustibility than that of a water-soluble fire retardant sprayed wood. Therefore, this treatment could be used for improving incombustibility of wood.

The combustion characteristic was evaluated for Pinus densiflora, used as a building material in Hanok, which were treated with two different flame retardant method. The specimen was brushed with flame retardant liquid two or three times and then let the specimen dehydrated during 24 h for spreaded treating. And the other specimen was soaked in the liquid for 72 h. The test methods were inflammability test using meker burner and heat release rate test using cone calorimeter. As a result for the tests, flame retardant treated specimens met the requirements of the inflammability and the spreaded treated method was more efficient than immersed method. The spreaded treated specimen had lower combustive properties than immersed specimen in TTI (time to ignition), PHRR (peak heat release rate), MLR (mass loss rate) and THR (total heat release).
