The rate of vulcanization of nonpolar ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer(EPDM)/carbon black compounds was investigated by using hot air and microwave as a heating source. The present study parameters such as heating source, sample thickness, and loading of an additive. The compound thickness was the main factor in the hot air vulcanization. It was due to the poor thermal conductivity of EPDM; that is, the thicker thickness, the lower vulcanization rate. For 100% vulcanization, the compound with 3 mm thickness required 7 min at $250^{\circ}C$ in the hot air system. However, the vulcanization of EPDM compounds by microwave system was not affected by the thickness while strongly dependent on the amount of a polar additive, carbon black. A compound with 80 phr of carbon black was perfectly vulcanized within 30 sec. These results suggest that the use of microwave as a heating source is an effective method for the vulcanization of compounds including a polar component.

Exposed to various environments, concrete confronts degradation by a lot of physical and chemical reaction. Though so many experiments and theorizations on the single condition of concrete degradation have been carried out by constant studies, the truth for now is that there are few studies on the compound phenomenon of degradation related with marine environments. Accordingly, this study measured the degree of degradation in the change of external shape, the change of unit weight and compressive strength, ultrasonic velocity test, and the change of length, etc. after exposing the specimen of cement mortar to the environment between 0 cycle and the maximum of 300 cycles under the condition of aquatic curing, freezing and thawing, and compound degradation, using mineral admixture effective for concrete degradation as a binder. The result indicated that the case of adding mineral admixture showed greater resistance than that of using OPC only, and specifically, the specimen with the additive of slag powder and three component system showed very excellent resistance to freezing and thawing, and compound degradation.

This study was peformed to investigate the phase change temperature, the supercooling, the maintenance time of liquid phase and the change rate of volume of TMA 30 $wt\% clathrate compound with additives. TMA 30 $wt\% clathrate compound with additive was cooled at heat source temperature of $-6^{circ}C$. The additives are ethylene glycol and chloroform. Their concentration are 0.1$wt\% respectively. The experimental results showed that the phase change temperature was not affected by additives and this was average $5.3^{circ}C$. Also the supercooling and the maintenance time of liquid phase were decreased by additives. Especially, the average value of supercooling showed by $8.8^{circ}C$ and the maintenance time of liquid phase was by 19 minutes in the case of chloroform 0.1$wt\%. Additionally, the average change rate of volume showed by $1.26{\~}1.31\%$ according to additives and the volume was decreased by the phase change from liquid to solid.

A phase-change material (PCM) is a material that has the ability to delay heat transfer by absorbing heat from its environment or releasing heat to its environment while its phase changes from solid to liquid or liquid to solid at a specific temperature. As it is applied, it can contribute to environmental conservation such as energy savings and carbon dioxide emission reduction. In order for a PCM to store and release heat, the volume change during its phase transition should be large, and thus a phase transition space is required. When a PCM is used as a polymer additive, it is confined within the polymer, and there is no phase transition space; thus, its ability to absorb and release heat is significantly reduced. Therefore, in this study, porous silica was used to provide EVA/PCM compounds with sufficient space for their phase transition, and to improve the compatibility between the EVA and PCM, modified silica is used: surface-modified 5 wt% silica with 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. The compound was prepared and compared with the silica compound. The presence or absence of the modified silica surface modification was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, the heat capacity of the compound was evaluated based on a differential scanning calorimetry analysis, and its mechanical strength and morphology were determined using scanning electron microscopy.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of Co, Co-Ti addition on the sintering characteristic of $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ material synthesized by the direct nitriding method for a application as a cermet material. The observed shrinkage rates of $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ pellets increase with the additive (Co, Co-Ti) content, temperature and time, and also the pellets with the same additive content exhibit the shrinkage behavior that depends on the Ti/Al ratio. However, although the shrinkage rates in this study is the mast higher (36%), the density of the sintered $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ pellet is below 80% density in theory because of the partial segregation and the dense band defect of AlCo compound. Consequentely, it is considered that Co was not effective as a binder material because the wettability of liquid Co metal on $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ materials is poor, In $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ with Ti-Co additive, the stoichiometric TiN is transformed by the under-stoichiometric TiNx(x<1.0) during sintering, leading to the good properties such as hardnees and hot oxidation.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a highly innovative method for joining dissimilar materials for industrial applications. In the present work, AM of STS630 and Ti-6Al-4V powder alloys on medium entropy alloys (MEAs) NiCrCo and NiCrCoMn is studied. The STS630 and Ti64 powders are deposited on the MEAs. Joint delamination and cracks are observed after the deposition of Ti64 on the MEAs, whereas the deposition of STS630 on the MEAs is successful, without any cracks and joint delamination. The microstructure around the fusion zone interface is characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Intermetallic compounds are formed at the interfacial regions of MEA-Ti64 samples. In addition, Vicker's hardness value increased dramatically at the joint interface between MEAs and Ti-6Al-4V compared to that between MEAs and STS630. This result is attributed to the brittle nature of the joint, which can lead to a decrease in the joint strength.

The four different polymer compounds were manufactured with the two kinds of plasticizers [(di-2-ethylhexyl sebacate(DOS), and di-2-butyl sebacate(DBS)] and two different additive amounts(18, 26 phr) of the same plasticizer for making cable sheath for ship. Ethylene-vinylacetate, ethylene-propylene-diene-copolymer as matrix polymers and ethylene-vinylacetate grafted maleic anhydride as coupling agent were selected for compounding with fire retardant, closslinking agent, filler, and other additives besides plasticizer. The compound including DOS showed the higher ${\Delta}T$ than that including DBS at the same additive amount in the rheology test. And with increasing plasticizer, the compounds resulted in lower tensile strength and higher elongation by lubricating effect of plasticizer. DOS yielded better aging resistance and cold resistance than DBS due to the good heat resistance and low solidifying point of DOS compared to DBS.

Kojic acid, a fungal metabolite produced by some species of Aspergillus and Penicillium, was found to induce chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells in the presence or absence of the rat liver homogenate (59 mix). All categories of chromosomal aberrations increased with increased doses of kojic acid. Based on the this result, kojic acid was assumed to be a kind of mutagens. On the potential toxicity of this compound it becomes evident that kojic acid would not be used as a food additive at this time.

Herbicidal effect of KSC-35089, a newly synthesized N-arylphthalimide compound, was examined, and its interaction with quizalofop-P-ethyl when foliar applied as a tank-mixture was evaluated under a greenhouse condition. KSC-35089 showed stronger herbicidal activity on broadleaves than grasses, suggesting that it would be an appropriate partner for non-selective weed control with quizalofop-P-ethyl, a strong grasskilling ageant. In general, the interaction between KSC-35089 and quizalofop-P-ethyl appeared to be additive, which indicates each compound acts on whole plant level independently. This additive interaction was confirmed in a spectrum test using 19 grasses and 26 broadleaves. Under the greenhouse condition, all tested plants were controlled around 90% level through a foliar application with a tank-mixture of KSC-35089 at 64 g ai/ha and quizalofop-P-ethyl at 32 g ai/ha. Further study would be required on the action mechanism of this additive interaction.
