In this study, the moisture related hygroscopic characteristics and mechanical properties of epoxy-clay nanocomposites were investigated by experiments as a function of the weight fraction of nanoclay. The hygroscopic and mechanical properties including the moisture saturation amount, moisture diffusivity, adhesive strength, and tensile properties were obtained by moisture absorption test and various tensile tests, respectively. Also, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was devised to study of hygroscopic characteristics of nanocomposites and the results were compared to experimental results as a function of the nanoclay content. It was demonstrated that the proposed MD simulation technique can be successfully used for the prediction of the effects of the nanoclay on the moisture diffusion characteristics.

The objective of this study is to improve the function of an artificial culture soil which was mixed mainly with alum sludge. The artificial culture soil was more efficient than the commercial culture soil for the growth of perennial ryegrass and bush clover. Artificial culture soil was prepared paper sludge(40%), alum sludge(30%), sewage sludge(20%), and compost (10%). This artificial culture soil had no adverse effect on phytotoxicity tests. The alum sludge gives some water holding capacity and cohesion strength to the soil enought to require no other addition of adhesive agents. The leaching of aluminum from the alum sludge was negligible even at very low pH(=2) due to the mixed compost.

Blending method was applied to increase the performance of hydrogen peroxide which is called green propellant. 90 wt.% hydrogen peroxide was blended with ethanol which is less toxic fuel, and there was no storability decrease due to fuel addition. Inconel X750 and Tophet A showed good compatibility and high heat resistance, and SUS 316L was compatible. Al2O3, Y2O3, and ZrO2, were coated on the material to improve heat resistance, and it was proved from endurance test that Y2O3 coating is not suitable and adhesive strength between coating and material is related with allowable temperature of material. Thruster test was performed to confirm the performance increase by blending method, and chamber temperature was $870^{\circ}C$ which is higher than $760^{\circ}C$ that is adiabatic chamber temperature of 90 wt.% hydrogen peroxide.

In this paper, we presented the paper-based reconfigurable frequency selective surface(FSS) for transmitting or blocking the wireless LAN signal in indoor environments. The proposed reconfigurable FSS are designed on coated paper using a printing of conductive ink and conductive adhesive for PIN diode, which provides ON/OFF of the reconfigurable FSS for passing or blocking the 5GHz signal. The reconfigurable FSS attached on the wall can pass or block the incident wireless signal as the received signal strength in indoor. To provide the validity of the proposed FSS, we fabricated the reconfigurable FSS on the paper and confirmed the very similar results between simulations and measurements. From the measured results of the proposed spectrum control system, we know that the proposed reconfigurable FSS can block about 20dB at 5.745GHz~5.805GHz.

This study examined the applicability of deterioration monitoring techniques to establish efficient conservation and management system for stone cultural heritage which conservation treatment has been done. It was confirmed that deterioration mapping combined with photography and grid work, and adhesive tape test for the surface were very applicable to investigate the surface change due to deterioration, and assess the degree of granular disintegration quantitatively. The portable microscopic survey and ultrasonic measurement were efficient techniques to observe mineral looseness and microcrack, and to track the strength change of the stone before-and-after the conservation treatment. These techniques can be easily used by manage practitioners in the field through simple guidance and technical education. Also, it can contribute to build a long-term and methodical conservation and management system of the stone cultural heritage.

Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) based on 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA)/acrylic acid (AA) copolymer was synthesized using different photoinitiators. Results showed that PSA with Irgacure$^{(R)}$651 (benzyldimethylketal) and Irgacure$^{(R)}$184(1-hydroxy-cyclohexylphenyl ketone) proved to be good for adhesion properties. This may be attributed to strong absorption near 350 nm wavelength and also high solubility in monomer mixtures. The addition of Irgacure$^{(R)}$819, bisacylphosphine oxides as a photoinitiator caused cohesive failure with high loading in a peel test owing to the additional radical formation. It is assumed that the insoluble photoinitiator reacts with oxygene, which may act as a hydrogen donor.

This study was performed to analyse cause of quality deterioration using byproduct of plywood and to determine physical and mechanical properties of particleboard used new bonding condition we found. The result of bending strength of Com-Ply board using EMDI is 57.7 $N/mm^2$ on linear direction and 25.1 $N/mm^2$ on vertical direction. EMDI has better water-resisting qualities than Urea formaldehyde adhesive according to result of thickness swelling and water absorption test. Pre-treatment soaked particle 72 hours in water caused increase of HCHO emission.

Generally, joints are the weakest part in the composite structures. Composite joints can be classified into adhesive joints and mechanical joints, and mechanical joints are mainly used in areas less sensitive to environmental conditions. In this paper, the failure loads of composite mechanical joints with five different stacking angles are tested and predicted. Finite element analysis of mechanical joints were performed and failure loads were predicted by the FAI(Failure Area Index) method using Tsai-Wu and Yamada-Sun failure criteria, and the predicted failure loads were compared with experimental results. From the experiment and analysis, the failure loads of the mechanical joints were decreased as the ratio of 0 degree layer was low and they could be predicted within 13.03% using the FAI method and Yamada-Sun failure criteria.

The inner-structure bonded(ISB) sheet metal is defined as a composite sheet metal which has middle layer of truss-structure between two skin sheets. The characteristics such as ultra-light weight, high rigidity, high strength, etc are required especially for automobile parts. The characteristic of ISB sheet metal depends on inner-structure pattern or method of bonding. Pyramid type of crimped expanded metal is used for inner-structure and both of resistance welding and adhesive bonding are applied to make a specimen. As a result of compression test, it is appeared that forming limit is 10% reduction in thickness under a load of 8kgf per unit element(one inner-structure). In case of uniaxial tensile test the non-uniform surface integrity rather than the buckling of inner-structure happened at a load of 450kgf, which indicates elongation of 7.2% and thickness reduction of 13%. The eye-inspection method was applied to examine the defects occurring on the specimen during stretch forming. In case of biaxial stretch forming only the non-uniform deformation on the surface of a skin sheet could be observed. The forming limit in stretching of ISB sheet metal with the hemi-spherical punch of 150mm in diameter was 3mm in forming depth and 5% reduction in thickness.

The present study was to develop a dry PFB method similar to the existing gypsum board construction method in order to apply the existing wet PFB method that uses fire.resistant adhesive. It was found that the existing wet method can produce concrete compressive strength of 80MPa and fire resistance of 3 hours with 30mm PF boards. The goal of development in this study was fire resistance of 3 hours through dry construction of 15mm fire.resistant boards.According to the results of fire resistance test, when the dry PF method was applied, the temperature of the main reinforcing bar was 116$^{\circ}$C in 15mm, 103.8$^{\circ}$C in 20mm, and 94$^{\circ}$C in 25mm, and these results satisfied the current standards for fire resistance control presented by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. When a 3.hour fire resistance test was performed and the external properties of the specimen were examined, the outermost gypsum board hardly remained and internal PF board maintained its form without thermal strain.
