This study reports the origin of the electrochemical improvement of $LiFePO_4$ when synthesized by wet milling using acetone without conventional carbon coating. The wet milled $LiFePO_4$ delivers 149 $mAhg^{-1}$ at 0.1 C, which is comparable to carbon coated $LiFePO_4$ and approximately 74% higher than that of dry milled $LiFePO_4$, suggesting that the wet milling process can increase the capacity in addition to conventional carbon coating methods. UV spectroscopy, elemental microanalysis, and evolved gas analysis are used to find the root cause of the capacity improvement during the mechanochemical reaction in acetone. The analytical results show that the improvement is attributed to the conductive residual carbon on the surface of the wet milled $LiFePO_4$ particles, which is produced by the reaction of $FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ with acetone during wet milling through oxygen deficiency in the precursor.

Conductive and dielectric SiC are fabricated using electroless plating of Ni-Fe films on SiC chopped fibers to obtain lightweight and high-strength microwave absorbers. The electroless plating of Ni-Fe films is achieved using a two-step process of surface sensitizing and metal plating. The complex permeability and permittivity are measured for the composite specimens with the metalized SiC chopped fibers dispersed in a silicone rubber matrix. The original non-coated SiC fibers exhibit considerable dielectric losses. The complex permeability spectrum does not change significantly with the Ni-Fe coating. Moreover, dielectric constant is sensitively increased with Ni-Fe coating, owing to the increase of the space charge polarization. The improvements in absorption capability (lower reflection loss and small matching thickness) are evident with Ni-Fe coating on SiC fibers. For the composite SiC fibers coated with Ni-Fe thin films, a -35 dB reflection loss is predicted at 7.6 GHz with a matching thickness of 4 mm.

자기치유 소재를 이용하여 강판을 코팅하는 경우, 코팅 소재에 상처가 날 경우 스스로 상처를 치유하여 강판이 부식되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 하지만 자기치유 과정에는 시간이 소요되며, 따라서 자기치유가 되기 전에 강판의 상처가 부식 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가역적인 hindered urea bond(HUB)를 통하여 가교 결합을 형성하면서 동시에 부식 방지제로써 작용하는 DTBEDA를 이용하여 듀얼자기치유 메커니즘을 가지는 코팅 소재를 제조하였다. 또한 제조된 소재를 강판에 코팅하여 의료용 메스와 나노/마이크로 압입시험기를 통하여 스크래치에 대한 자기치유 성능을 확인하였으며, DTBEDA의 내부식성 효과를 전기화학 임피던스 분광법(EIS)을 통하여 분석하였다.

An object in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is affected by many environmental conditions unlike earth's surface such as, Atomic oxygen (AO), Ultraviolet Radiation (UV), thermal cycling, High Vacuum and Micrometeoroids and Orbital Debris (MMOD) impacts. The effect of all these parameters have to be carefully considered when designing a space structure, as it could be very critical for a space mission. Polybenzimidazole (PBI) is a high performance thermoplastic polymer that could be a suitable material for space missions because of its excellent resistance to these environmental factors. A thin coating of PBI polymer on the carbon epoxy composite laminate (referred as CFRP) was found to improve the energy absorption capability of the laminate in event of a hypervelocity impact. However, the overall efficiency of the shield also depends on other factors like placement and orientation of the laminates, standoff distances and the number of shielding layers. This paper studies the effectiveness of using a PBI coating on the front bumper in a multi-shock shield design for enhanced hypervelocity impact resistance. A thin PBI coating of 43 micron was observed to improve the shielding efficiency of the CFRP laminate by 22.06% when exposed to LEO environment conditions in a simulation chamber. To study the effectiveness of PBI coating in a hypervelocity impact situation, experiments were conducted on the CFRP and the PBI coated CFRP laminates with projectile velocities between 2.2 to 3.2 km/s. It was observed that the mass loss of the CFRP laminates decreased 7% when coated by a thin layer of PBI. However, the study of mass loss and damage area on a witness plate showed CFRP case to have better shielding efficiency than PBI coated CFRP laminate case. Therefore, it is recommended that PBI coating on the front bumper is not so effective in improving the overall hypervelocity impact resistance of the space structure.

리튬이차전지 음극활물질로 사용되는 합성흑연입자에 여러종류금속을 코팅하여 그 전기화학적특성을 조사하였으며, 구체적인 코팅방법으로는 가스분산스프레이 코팅법을 적용하였다. 본 연구범위내에서 금속을 코팅한 입자로 제조된 전극은 충방전시 형성되는 계면저항을 감소시킴으로서 결과적으로 원시료에 비해서 높은 방전용량을 나타내었다. CV실험을 통해서 은과 주석은 리튬과의 합금반응을 확인할 수 있었으나, 2.5 중량$\%$ 이하의 낮은 코팅량을 고려했을 때, 높은 분산도를 지닌 금속 물질의 코팅을 통한 전극 활물질 표면의 균일한 전도도의 증가가 주요원인인 것으로 사료되었다. 단일계 금속으로 코팅하였을 경우 은코팅한 전극활물질이 가장 높은 방전용량과 사이클특성을 나타내었고, 은을 기본으로 하는 이성분계에서는 은-니켈전극이 가장 높은 고율특성을 나타내었다.

Various steps in the electrode production process, such as slurry mixing, slurry coating, drying, and calendaring, directly affect the quality and, consequently, mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of electrodes. Herein, a new method of slurry coating is developed: Double-coated electrode. Contrary to single-coated electrode, the cathode is prepared by double coating, wherein each coat is of half the total loading mass of the single-coated electrode. Each coat is dried and calendared. It is found that the double-coated electrode possesses more uniform pore distribution and higher electrode density and allows lesser extent of particle segregation than the single-coated electrode. Consequently, the double-coated electrode exhibits higher adhesion strength (74.7 N m^-1) than the single-coated electrode (57.8 N m^-1). Moreover, the double-coated electrode exhibits lower electric resistance (0.152 Ω cm^-2) than the single-coated electrode (0.177 Ω cm^-2). Compared to the single-coated electrode, the double-coated electrode displays higher electrochemical performance by exhibiting better rate capability, especially at higher C rates, and higher long-term cycling performance. Despite its simplicity, the proposed method allows effective electrode preparation by facilitating high electrochemical performance and is applicable for the large-scale production of high-energy-density electrodes.

기존의 축소(Ⅰ) 기본형 엔진에 대한 연소 시험을 실시한 결과 분사면의 내열 특성이 불량한 것으로 판명되었다. 이에 기본형 엔진의 설계를 다각도로 수정한 축소(Ⅰ) 수정형 엔진을 제작 하게 되었다. 주요 설계 파라미터는 주분사기의 배열, 주분사기의 충돌각, 내열 코팅이었으며, 이들에 대한 시험적 연구를 수행하고 각 디자인에 따른 엔진 성능 및 내열 성능을 비교하였다. 내열 성능은 직교배열의 경우, 주분사기 충돌각이 작은 경우, 내열 코팅이 있는 경우 증가하는 경향을 보여주었다. 그에 따른 엔진 성능의 변화를 살펴보면 5% 범위 이내에서 성능 차이를 보이며 방사배열의 경우가 직교배열의 경우보다 성능이 높고, 주분사기 충돌각 15°의 경우가 20°의 경우보다 오히려 높게 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 고주파 불안정성과 관련성이 있을 것이며, 향후 시험을 통해 검증할 예정이다.

Disinfection of a waterborne pathogenic protozoa, Giardia lamblia, by the conventional chlorine method has been known to be difficult. An alternative disinfection has been carried out by using a UV -light illuminating optical­fiber photoreactor. Light intensity diffused from one piece of a clad-removed optical-fiber was $1- 1.5{\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$. Disinfection capability in a UV -light irradiated optical-fiber reactor suspended with 0.01 g $TiO_{2}\;dm^{-3}$ was 1.4 times that in the same reactor without $TiO_{2}$ photocatalysts. To resolve the absorption and scattering of UV light by the particles themselves as well as the difficulty of recycling particles in the slurry­type reactor, $TiO_{2}$ which was obtained by a hydrothermal method, was immobilized on clad-removed optical fibers. Such pretreatment of fiber surface resulted in an excellent transparency, which enhanced the UV light to diffuse laterally from a fiber surface. Coating time of the prepared solution by the hydrothermal method was not effective after more than two times. Disinfection capability in the $TiO_{2}$-immobilized optical-fiber reactor was $83\%$ in 1 h at $40^{\circ}C$, which was slightly higher than $76\%$ at $22^{\circ}C$ and $68\%$ at $10^{\circ}C$. Disinfection capability at $22^{\circ}C$ increased from $74\%$ at an initial pH of 3.4, through $76\%$ at pH 6.5, to $87\%$ at an initial pH of 10. Oxygen supply with air-flow rate of 5 $cm^3\;min^{-1}$ did not seem to increase the disinfection capability with UV /immobilized $TiO_2$.

천연 흑연의 전기화학적 특성 향상을 목적으로 피치 코팅을 실시하였다. 최적 코팅용 피치의 합성조건을 알아보기 위해 다양한 온도에서 합성된 피치를 코팅하여 음극 특성을 알아보았다. 합성온도가 증가할수록 연화점, 잔탄율이 증가하며 열적 안정성이 높아졌으나, 430 ℃에서는 과한 축합반응으로 NI (NMP Insoluble)가 다량 합성되었다. 높은 열적 안정성으로 표면의 균일도와 코팅 두께가 증가함에 따라 제조된 음극재의 향상된 초기쿨롱효율과 출력특성의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 하지만 과한 NI가 함유된 피치로 코팅한 음극재는 코팅이 실시되지 않은 흑연보다 저하된 전기화학 특성을 나타냈다. NI는 분산성이 낮고 열처리 후 구체 형성의 영향으로 불균일한 SEI층 형성에 기인한다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 피치 합성온도를 제어하여 균일한 표면과 적절한 코팅층 형성이 이루어지는 최적 조건을 도출하였다.
