As important factors determining human sensorial comfort, liquid moisture management and surface properties of heat resistant workwear materials were examined. To figure out liquid moisture management properties of the test materials, absorption capacity, rate of absorption, and evaporation properties were assessed. A modified GATS(Gravimetric Absorbency Testing System) was used to measure the liquid moisture accumulation associated with the wicking of liquid moisture from sweating skin. The GATS procedure measures demand wettability of materials to take up liquid in a direction perpendicular to the fabric surface and it was modified to incorporate a special test cell and cover to assess absorption behavior in the presence of evaporation. Fabric stiffness, smoothness, number and the length of surface fibers, and an estimate of the contact area between the skin and fabric surface were measured to characterize the mechanical and surface properties of the test materials. Also an estimate of the force with which a fabric clings to moist skin was made using as wet-cling index.

In this paper, fabrication of sample holder was studied for an analysis of electromagnetic(EM) wave property in W-band(75 GHz~110 GHz). First of all, a propagation theory of EM wave was considered in the rectangular waveguide, and measurement technique was suggested for analysis of characteristics. A sample holder using in W-band was designed and fabricated, and used for analysis of material property and absorption ability using RAM samples. As a result, the sample holder test was verified exactly for measuring EM wave property of RAM sample. In the future, the proposed sample holder would like to be used for the EM wave property analysis in W-band.

Recently, more interests in surface treatment of structure with water repellent agent are steadily increased, But, investigation of its properties such as protection, durability, morphology of micro structure is not sufficient. Therefore, This paper is aimed for the investigation of water repellent property and change of morphology of micro pores in mortar that is treated by water repellent agent(Inorganic polymer based material). Water repellent property, water absorption coefficient, air permeability, porosity and the observation of micro structure was investigated in different water repellent agent type. The test results indicated that water repellent treated mortar showed low absorption coefficient and air permeability(breathing effect). This is why inorganic polymer is coated at the wall of capillary and micro pores, also, the volume of micro pore is reduced without the change of morphology in micro structure.

This study is designed to manufacture the upgraded sound absorption concrete by using foamed concrete by using artificial light weight aggregate which raises the continuous void ratio to increase the sound absorption ratio and improve the strength. In manufacturing the sound absorption block, the pre-foaming form is applied to generate continuous voids, controlling the density by the addition of bubbles. It is general that the more porosity creates, the weaker strength becomes. Each of specimens are used for this experiment and measured their absorption ratio to examine the absorption property depending on frequency. As a results of experiment, it is evaluated that the absorption capacity of the sound absorption block has relation to compression strength and surface shape.

In this paper, we make an analysis of electromagnetic wave absorption properties of $TiO_2$ in W-band. Therefore, we fabricated some samples in different composition ratio of $TiO_2$ and CPE. And the material properties of samples are calculated from S-parameter of samples using $\ell-2\ell$ method. We analyze absorption properties and complex relative permittivitis of samples. As a result, it has verified that absorption properties of sample containing $TiO_2:CPE=70:30wt.%$ have been excelled in W-band.

In this paper, thermal and mechanical properties of electric epoxy with water aging were discussed. We made elastic epoxy specimen adding a ratio of 0〔phr〕20〔phr〕, 35〔phr〕 and 53〔phr〕 with modifier to existing epoxy. We studied mechanical property of elastic resin after absorption in water from 0 to 484 hours. As a result, diffusion factor of elastic epoxy showed 20-21${\times}$10$^{-4}$ $\textrm{mm}^2$/s and general epoxy showed 9.5${\times}$10$^{-4}$ $\textrm{mm}^2$/s. Elastic property increased linearly according to addiction and decreased according to water absorption. Tensile strength was reduced according to addition. It was affected by water absorption of micro-void of elastic epoxy. Hardness inclined to decrease after increasing according to absorbed time. In water-absorption state, it was experimented a change of heat flow by temperature of elastic epoxy and change of thermal expansion coefficient. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and TMA (Thermomechanical Analysis) equipments were used to measure Tg. A temperature ringe of DSC was from -0($^{\circ}C$) to 200($^{\circ}C$). One of TMA was from -0($^{\circ}C$) to 350($^{\circ}C$). In addition, we investigated structural analysis of water absorbed specimen using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope).

Efforts to reduce noise in industrial application fields, such as automobiles, aircrafts, and plants have been gaining considerable attention while a sound proof wall to protect people from the noise has been intensively investigated by many researchers. In this study, our research group suggested creating a new sound proof wall composed of scrap aluminum chips and perforated plates in a commercial polyester sound proof wall, which was then successfully fabricated. This wall's sound absorption characteristics were measured by an impedance tube method. The sound absorption property was evaluated by measuring the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) to the standard, ASTM C 423-90a. The noise reduction coefficient of the sound proof wall composed of 3.5 vol.% and 7.5 vol.% of scrap aluminum chips relatively increased to 5% and 8% compared to the commercial polyester sound proof wall. The scrap aluminum perforated plate also relatively increased to 13% compared to the commercial polyester sound proof wall.

The aim of our study is to prepare nanocomposites consisting polymer/inorganic nanoparticles and investigate their physical properties as a functional material. In this study, a nanocomposite of copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles introduced into a poly(acrylic acid) matrix was prepared and the optical absorption property was measured. The composite exhibited strong absorption of both ultraviolet and near-infrared rays, indicating that the composite is applicable to a solar radiation shielding filter. The wavelength of the near infrared absorption was controlled from ca.1000 nm to 1700 nm by heat and acidic solution treatments.

The microwave absorption properties of silicone, chloride polyethylene(CPE), and natural lacquer which is newly suggested in this study as a binder for composite microwave absorber were investigated to develop a superior microwave absorber. MnZn ferrite composite microwave absorbers mixed with them were prepared and their absorption property was investigated. A MnZn ferrite microwave absorber mixed with natural lacquer showed an excellent microwave absorption property in expanded frequency band.

This study investigated the influence of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) addition to particleboard from teak sawdust to reduce water absorption and thickness swelling using standard tests of physical and mechanical properties. The experiment had a completely randomized design with four treatments (SiO₂ concentrations of 5%, 3%, 1%, and 0%), each with three replicates, for a total of 12 conditions. The results showed that 1% concentration was the optimal concentration to reduce both water absorption (32.42% ± 1.78%) and thickness swelling (8.65% ± 1.16%). The product passed the standard tests for physical and mechanical properties, which reduced the cost of the SiO₂ content for particleboard processing. These results suggest that SiO₂ can resist moisture content but may slightly reduce strength.
