본 논문은 PVC 절연재료의 가속열화에 따른 트래킹 특성에 관한 연구이다. PVC 절연재료를 절연열화 시키기 위해 가속수명 시험방법 중 아레니우스 방정식을 이용한 가속열화실험을 진행하여 등가연수 0년, 10년, 20년, 30년, 40년 된 실험시료를 제작하였다. 그 후 KS C IEC 60112 기준에 의한 트래킹 실험을 진행하였다. 가속열화에 따른 PVC 트래킹 특성 측정 결과 염화암모늄 0.1%를 PVC 절연재료에 투하하였을 때, 트래킹은 발생하지 않았다. 하지만 트래킹 진전과정의 전류파형 및 전압파형을 등가수명 0년에서부터 40년까지 분석한 결과 절연성이 파괴되어 본 재질의 기능성을 갖지 못하는 BDB 구간까지 등가수명 0년을 기준으로 등가수명 10년의 경우 위험성 1.4배 증가, 20년의 경우 위험성 2배 증가, 30년의 경우 위험성 3.5배 증가, 40년의 경우 위험성 7배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 가속열화에 따른 페놀수지 절연재료의 트래킹 특성에 관한 연구이다. 페놀수지 절연재료의 절연열화를 위해 가속수명 시험방법 중 아레니우스 방정식을 이용한 가속열화 실험을 진행하여 등가연수 0년, 10년, 20년, 30년, 40년 된 실험시료를 제작하였다. 그 후 가속열화된 실험시료를 대상으로 KS C IEC 60112 기준에 의한 트래킹 실험을 진행하였다. 가속열화에 따른 페놀수지의 트래킹 특성 측정결과 염화암모늄 0.1% 적하 시 등가수명 0년을 기준으로 위험성이 등가수명 10년 1.38배, 20년 1.45배, 30년 1.62배, 40년 1.94배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 염화암모늄 0.01% 적하 시 등가수명 년을 기준으로 위험성이 등가수명 10년 1.39배, 20년 1.52배, 30년 1.99배, 40년 5.30배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 실험 결과 노후화에 따른 절연열화가 오래될수록 트래킹 위험성이 커지는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 등가수명 40년의 경우 그 위험성이 크게 증가하는 것으로 관측되었다. 따라서 노후화에 따른 절연열화 등의 위험성을 고려하여 제도적으로 권장 교체주기를 마련해 주는 것이 전기화재 발생 가능성 및 위험성을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

고분자 전해질 연료전지(PEMFC) 내구성 향상을 위해서 고분자 막의 내구성을 짧은 시간에 정확히 평가하는 것은 중요하다. 고분자 막의 화학적 가속 내구 평가 시험 조건은 고전압, 고온, 저가습, 고가스압이다. 이들 조건들을 변화시키며 프로토콜을 개발한다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 각 시험 조건이 고분자 막을 열화시키는데 상대적으로 얼마나 많은 영향을 주는지 연구되지 않았다. 고분자 막 화학적 가속 열화 실험에서 4가지 인자(조건)들의 영향력을 요인실험법을 통해 검토하였다. 가속 열화 후 고분자 막 열화 정도는 수소투과도와 불소 이온 유출 농도 측정으로 알 수 있었고, 불소 이온 농도 차이에 의해 8 조건의 고분자 막 열화 순위를 결정할 수 있었다. 고분자 막 열화 인자의 영향력은 전압> 온도 > 산소압 > 습도 순임을 보였다. 고분자 막 화학적 열화에 전극 촉매 열화가 영향을 줌을 확인하였다.

Natural degradation of grounding-electrode in soil environment should be monitored for several decades to predict the lifetime of the grounding electrode for efficient application and management. However, long-term studies for such electrodes have many practical limitations. The conventional accelerated corrosion test is unsuitable for such studies because simulated soil corrosion process cannot represent the actual soil environment. A preliminary experiment of accelerated corrosion test was conducted using existing test standards. The accelerated corrosion test that reflects the actual soil environment has been developed to evaluate corrosion performances of grounding-electrodes in a short period. Several test conditions with different chamber temperatures and salt spray were used to imitate actual field conditions based on ASTM B162, ASTM B117, and ISO 14993 standards. Accelerated degradation specimens of copper-bonded electrodes were made by the facile method and their corrosion performances were investigated. Their corrosion rates were calculated to $0.042{\mu}m/day$, $0.316{\mu}m/day$, and $0.11{\mu}m/day$, respectively. These results indicate that accelerated deterioration of grounding materials can be determined in a short period by using cyclic test condition with salt spray temperature of $50^{\circ}C$.

Evaluating service lives of rubber materials at certain temperatures requires a destructive method (typically using elongation at break). In this study, a non-destructive method based on hardness change rate was proposed for evaluating the service life of chloroprene rubber (CR). Compared to the destructive method, this non-destructive method ensures homogeneity of CR specimens and requires a small number of samples. Thermal accelerated degradation test was conducted on the CR specimens at 55, 70, 85, 100, and 125℃, and the tensile strength, elongation at break, and hardness were measured. The results of the experiment were compared to those of the accelerated life evaluation method proposed in this study. Comparing the analyzed lives in the high temperature region (70, 85, 100, and 125℃), the difference between the service lives for the destructive method (using the elongation at break) and non-destructive method (using the hardness) was approximately 0.1 year. Therefore, it was confirmed that the proposed non-destructive evaluation method based on hardness changes can evaluate the actual life of CR under thermally accelerated degradation conditions.

This paper reports the effect of additive elements such as Bi, Sb on degradation and hole formation of the Te-Se thin films. Changes in light transmission were used to monitor the degradation rate of thin Te films in an accelerated temperature-humidity environment. In thin accelerated temperature-humidity environment, $(Te_{86}Se_{14})_{70}Bi_{30}$ thin film was stable and $(Te_{86}Se_{14})_{50}Sb_{50}$ thin film was unstable in comparison with the other films that used in this experiment. The hole formation was carried out in the Te-based thin films.

We have used FT-IR spectra to explain the effects of hydrogen bonding between chitosan and polycaprolactam (PA6). A dynamic mechanical analysis study suggested that the optimum chitosan and PA6 miscibility under the conditions of this experiment were obtained at a blending ratio of 40:60. We studied the thermal degradation of chitosan blended with PA6 (chitosan/PA6) by thermogravimetric analysis and kinetic analysis (by the Ozawa method). Dry chitosan and PA6 exhibited a single stage of thermal degradation and chitosan/PA6 blends having> 20 wt% PA6 exhibited at least two stages of degradation. In chitosan/PA6 blends, chitosan underwent the first stage of thermal degradation; the second stage proceeded at a temperature lower than that of PA6, because the decomposition product of chitosan accelerated the degradation of PA6. The activation energies of the blends were between 130 and 165 kJ/mol, which are also lower than that of PA6.

The relationships between the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) degradation by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and several relevant physicochemical environmental parameters were examined. At neutral pH of the cultures, the degradation of TNT proceeded to completion, whereas only about 50% of TNT was utilized when the cultures were adjusted to acidic pH. The effect of various co-substrates (e.g., glucose, fructose, acetate, citrate, succinate) on the degradation of TNT by the test culture of S. maltophilia was evaluated. The results indicated that, among the various co-substrates studies, the test culture that received 2 mM fructose degraded 100 mg/L of TNT completely within 20 days of incubation at ambient temperature, whereas partial degradation of TNT was observed in the test culture with acetate, citrate, or succinate as a co-substrate, respectively. In fact, fructose was the best co-substrate for TNT degradation in this experiment. The effect of supplemented nitrogens [e.g., (NH$_4$)$_2$,SO$_4$, NH$_4$Cl. urea] on the TNT degradation was monitored. All supplemented nitrogens in this study were inhibitory to TNT degradation. Addition of 1% Tween80 accelerated TNT degradation, and showed complete degradation of TNT within 8 days of incubation. Addition of yeast extract resulted higher growth yields, based on turbidity measurement, but it inhibited TNT degradation.

In this paper, EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) insulation material was accelerated degradation test at $121^{\circ}C$, $136^{\circ}C$, $151^{\circ}C$, and experiment the typical EAB (elongation at break) at mechanical characteristics analysis. It is shown that the failure-time at the point of 50% of the initial value of Elongation rate to obtain the activation energy. The failure-time was shown each 5,219 hr, 3,165 hr, and 668 hr at three temperatures. In order to derive the activation energy, Arrhenius methodology was applied. Also, we got the Arrhenius plot from three accelerated temperatures. The activation energy values got 0.98 eV from EAB test. The experimental data were evaluated for estimating the probability density, and the suitable distribution by using statistical program MINITAB. It is shown that EAB data by the acceleration thermal degradation is most suitable for the Weibull distribution.
