PURPOSES : Durability of concrete is traditionally based on evaluating the effect of a single deterioration mechanism such as freezing & thawing action, chloride attack, carbonation and chemical attack. In reality, however, concrete structures are subjected to varying environmental exposure conditions which often results in multi-deterioration mechanism occurring. This study presents the experimental results on the durability of concrete incorporating air-cooled slag(AS) and/or water-cooled slag(WS) exposed to multi-deterioration environments of chloride attack and freezing & thawing action. METHODS : In order to evaluate durable performance of concretes exposed to single- and multi-deterioration, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, mass ratio and compressive strength measurements were performed. RESULTS :It was observed that multi-deterioration severely affected durability of concrete compared with single deterioration irrespective of concrete types. Additionally, the replacement of cement by AS and WS showed a beneficial effect on enhancement of concrete durability. CONCLUSIONS : It is concluded that resistance to single- and/or multi-deterioration of concrete is highly dependent on the types of binder used in the concrete. Showing the a good resistance to multi-deterioration with concrete incorporating AS, it is also concluded that the AS possibly is an option for concrete materials, especially under severe environments.

Concrete structure is not the only material vulnerable to physical and chemical processes of deterioration associates with severe conditions. Deterioration of the concrete structure, however, occurs more progressively from the outside of the concrete exposed to severe conditions. Especially, Carbonation, chloride ion attack is more important factor of concrete durability. This study is interested in manufacturing the self-cleaning concrete surface impregnant including TEOS, lithium silicate for the repair of the exposed concrete surface and the color concrete requiring the advanced function in view of the concrete appearance. Form the results, TEOS and lithium silicate are very effective that increasing the concrete durability using self-cleaning concrete impregnant. Self-cleaning concrete impregnant specimens is satisfied with performance requirement of KS standard in adhesion test in tension but the reinforcement of concrete substrate is slight. So, the self-cleaning concrete impregnant of this study is more desirable for the improvement of durability rather than the reinforcement.

This concrete is one of the most versatile construction material widely used for almost a century now. It was considered to be very durable material and required a little or no maintenance since long time. The assumption is very true, except when it is subjected to highly aggressive environments. The deterioration of concrete structures day by day due to aggressive environment is compelling engineers to assess the loss in advance so that proper preventive measure can be taken to achieve required durability to concrete structures. The compounds present in cement concrete are attacked by many salt solutions and acids. These chemicals are encountered by almost all concrete structures. The present study has been undertaken to investigate the effect of attack of chlorides and sulphates with varying severity on compressive strength of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) concrete after immersion in salt solution for 28 days. The results indicate that the durability of GGBFS concrete increases with the increase in percentage replacement of cement by GGBFS for 20% and then gradually decreases with increases in percentage of GGBFS with cement (as in the study for 40% and 60%). Also there is increase in strength of GGBFS concrete with increase in age. Thus the durability of concrete improves when GGBFS is added as partial replacement of cement. In this study the strength of GGBFS concrete is less affected by chemicals as compared to conventional concrete when exposed to aggressive environment.

Photocatalytic cement is receiving attention due to its high oxidation power that oxidizes nitrogen oxides (NOx), thus contributing to clean atmospheric environment. However, there has not been a thorough investigation on durability of a parent material, cementitious material, as a result of photocatalytic reactions. In this study, durability of photocatalytic cementitious materials exposed to nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) gas was examined. Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles containing cement paste samples were exposed to cycles of NO₂ with UV light, followed by wetting and drying to simulate environmental condition. The surface of samples was characterized mechanically, chemically, and visually during the cycling. The results indicate that the photocatalytic efficiency decreased with continued NO₂ oxidation due to calcium carbonate formation. The pits found from SEM demonstrate that chemical deterioration have occurred, such as acid attack or leaching. In conclusion, the photocatalytic reactions and its product could alter cementitious materials chemically and mechanically which could further affect long-term durability.

붕규산염계 유리에 EAF Dust를 $40{\sim}80wt%$ 첨가하고 후 용융하여 유리를 제조한 후 $700^{\circ}C$/10hr으로 열처리하여 결정화유리 시편을 합성하였다. FT-IR, SEM, 그리고 EDS 분석을 통하여 조성 및 열처리 조건에 따른 시편내 결정상 및 결합상태 변화를 관찰하고, 이를 TCLP(Toxic Characterization Leaching Procedure) 실험에서 얻은 결과와 연계시켜 시편의 화학적 내구성을 연구하였다. 유리에 더스트 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 FT-IR 스펙트럼 상의 가교산소 진동피크($1050{\sim}1060cm^{-1}$)와 비가교산소 진동피크($960cm^{-1}$)가 합쳐진 넓은 피크($1000cm^{-1}$ 부근)가 저파수쪽으로 이동하였다. 동시에 boroxol ring의 $B_2O_3$ 구조가 tetrhedral-, trigonal- 그리고 di-borate로 변화되는 것을 확인하였다. 결정화유리 시편에서 Fe-O 피크가 확인되었으며 이는 spinel이 생성되었다는 XRD 결과와 일치하였다. TCLP를 행한 유리시편의 표면은 균열이 심하였으나 결정화유리는 큰 변화가 없어, 결정상 생성이 화학적 내구성을 향상시킴을 확인하였다. Fe의 용출량은 더스트가 80wt% 첨가된 결정화유리의 경우, 유리시편에 비하여 1/15로 감소하였다. Zn은 더스트 첨가량이 70wt% 이하인 결정화유리에서 용출량이 유리에 비해 높았으나 80wt% 이상 시편에서는 유리보다 감소하였고 이는 willemite 생성과 연관이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

고분자 전해질 연료전지(PEMFC) 고분자 막의 전기화학적 내구성을 가속적으로 평가하는 개회로 전위 유지(OCV holding) 과정에서 OCV 변화 거동을 해석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 내구성이 각기 다른 세 종류의 MEA(membrane electrode assembly)의 실험데이터를 이용한 실험식을 만들어 비교 및 검토하였다. 막 내부에 라디칼 제거제가 없는 강화막 MEA의 내구 평가시간은 383 h, 막 내부에 라디칼 제거제가 있는 강화막 MEA의 내구 평가시간은 각각 1,000, 1,650 h이었다. 고분자 막의 열화는 활성화에 의해 회복이 가능한 가역적 열화와 회복이 되지 않은 비가역적 열화로 구분했다. 고분자 막의 비가역적 열화는 수소투과도 증가로 나타나는데 수소투과도 변화가 세 MEA 모두 비가역적 열화 상수 c와 유사한 형태를 보였다. 회복이 되지 않은 비가역적 열화가 시작되는 것은 수소투과도 증가로 나타나고, 수소투과도 증가로 인해 OCV가 회복되지 않아서 OCV 회복선의 기울기가 감소하고 이를 실험식의 상수 c 값의 증가로 확인할 수 있었다.

Smart clothing products can experience a decrease in performance and reliability due to various mechanical, biological, and chemical stress factors that occur throughout their life cycle. These issues can hinder consumer acceptance of the products. This study aims to enhance the reliability of smart clothing and facilitate quality control by analyzing and identifying the current status of international standardization for smart clothing and electronic textiles (e-textiles). The focus of this analysis was on the durability test methods in the use environment. Furthermore, similar standards published by different standardization organizations for durability tests were compared in depth. The study showed that a total of 27 international standards have been developed or are currently under development. The current standardization efforts mainly aim to develop functionality and durability test methods for smart clothing and e-textile products. A detailed comparison was made between two international standards (IEC 63023-204-1:2023 and AATCC TM210:2019) specifically in relation to the washing durability test method and the electrical resistance measurement standards (BS EN 16812:2016 vs AATCC EP13-2021), before and after the environmental exposure tests. Based on this comparison, several suggestions have been made and discussed for the future revision of these international standards.

고분자전해질연료전지(PEMFC)의 고분자막 전기화학적 내구성을 셀 밖에서 평가하는 방법으로 펜톤(Fenton)반응이 많이 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 펜톤 반응에 영향을 주는 인자를 파악하고자 하였다. 반응진행도를 파악하기 위해 펜톤 반응에서는 생성물로서 라디칼을 분석해야 하는데, 라디칼을 분석하기 어려워 반응물인 과산화수소 농도를 분석해 반응진행도를 측정하였다. 온도에 따른 과산화수소 변화속도를 측정해 활성화 에너지를 계산한 결과 180분에서 24.9 kJ/mol 이었다. 펜톤반응 속도는 철이온 농도에 많은 영향을 받았다. $80^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm, $Fe^{2+}$ 80 ppm 조건에서는 1시간동안에도 과산화수소 농도가 20%이상 처음과 차이가 나므로 용액교체를 자주 하는 것이 막열화 속도를 증가시킴을 보였다.

A new procedure to produce poly(vinylidene fluoride)/boron nitride hybrid membrane is presented for application in membrane distillation (MD) process. The influence of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) incorporation on the performance of the polymeric membranes is studied through the present investigation. For this aim, h-BN nanopowders were successfully synthesized using the simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD) route and subsequent solvent treatments. The resulting h-BN nanosheets were blended with poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) solution. Then, the prepared composite solution was subjected to phase inversion process to obtain PVDF/h-BN hybrid membranes. Various examinations such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wettability, permeation flux, mechanical strength and liquid entry pressure (LEP) measurements are performed to evaluate the prepared membrane. Moreover, Air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) experiments were carried out to investigate the salt rejection performance and the durability of membranes. The results show that our hybrid PVDF/h-BN membrane presents higher water permeation flux (${\sim}18kg/m^2h$) compared to pristine PVDF membrane. In addition, the experimental data confirms that the prepared nanocomposite membrane is hydrophobic (water contact angle: ${\sim}103^{\circ}$), has a porous skin layer (>85%), as well competitive fouling resistance and operational durability. Furthermore, the total salt rejection efficiency was obtained for PVDF/h-BN membrane. The results prove that the novel PVDF/h-BN membrane can be easily synthesized and applied in MD process for salt rejection purposes.
