The silicone fluids have been generally used as processing agent in silicone rubber(SIR) compounding. The addition of hydroxy silicone (HS) fluids to SIR for insulator housing material is required to meet the good electrical performance and the good processability. In this study, SIR with HS fluids was evaluated to investigate how the kinds of them affect insulation properties. The contact angle of the virgin sample of 40-HS SIR was low and its recovery rate was also slow. The recovery rate of 50-HS SIR was the highest being decreased with the viscosity increase of HS fluids. The tracking resistances and the corona aging resistance of 70-HS SIR and 1,040-HS SIR were excellent Tracking resistance depended largely on heat resistance of silicone fluids. But arc resistance didn't depend merely on the kind of silicone fluids.

In this paper, we have investigated the degradation of shed materials of outdoor insulators by UV-radiation by using corona-charging and XPS analysis. The accumulated charges on polymeric surface having intrinsic hydrophobic property have a negative impact on retaining its hydrophobicity. Therefore, shorter decay times of surface charges are preferred. The surface voltage decay on UV-treated silicone rubber and EPDM show a different decay trend with UV treated time. From the XPS analysis, the oxidized groups of silica-like structure in silicone rubber increase with UV treatment time. For EPDM, the oxidized carbon groups of C=O, O=C-O increase as elapse of UV radiation time. These oxidized surface for each material have different electrostatic characteristics, so deposited charges may be expected to have different impacts on their surface hydrophobicity. The degradation mechanism based on our results is discussed.

We modified polymer surfaces, polyethylene, polystyrene and polyester, to improve cellcompatibility. For surface modification of the polymers, we used various surface treatment methods; physicochemical oxidation methods such as plasma discharge, corona discharge, sulfuric acid and chloric acid treatments, and biological methods such as adsorption of plasma protein and fibronectin onto the polymer surfaces. The treated polymer surfaces were characterized by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis ( ESCA ). The physicochemically treated polymers showed different surface chemical structures depending on the treated methods. The sulfuric acid-treated surfaces showed greater carboxyl groups than those of plasma- or corona- treated surfaces, while the chloric acid-treated one showed high density of hydroxyl group on the surface. By the biological treatments, the surfaces were uniformly coated with proteins. The fibronectin adsorbed on the surface seems to have unique properties for cell binding.

In this paper, Electret is formed to range voltage -5[kV] to -8[kV] by corona charging in PTFE film and sensor is manufactured by method of moments in sensing infra sonic. Charges of charged film are calculated also TSC measurement and induced potential of sensing electrode according to the charges is become aware of computer simulation. Electret Infra Sonic Transducer, which is designed and manufactured according to the potential and electric field simulation in using method of moments, is proved as it is effectively. Because sensitivity that measured under 10[Hz] is that average value of sensitivity rising rate is 6.34 [dB/oct] as average value is $\pm$1 [dB/oct] range -5[kV] to -8[kV] in corona charging film. As a result, it is believed that characteristic of acquired transducer can be application of medical treatment, industry, and animal life researches and the study of noise elimination, what's more, is required.

Fish culture is constantly threatened by various infectious diseases which are largely transmitted by water. Plasma technology is being used to sterilize polluted water in many industries. In this study, two bacterial pathogens Aeromonas salmonicida and Streptococcus iniae, and a virus (viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, VHSV) were subjected to plasma water that was produced by a corona discharge system. Growth of A. salmonicida was greatly inhibited from 10^5.61 CFU/ml in positive control to 10^3.51 CFU/ml in treated group by only 60 sec contact with plasma water. Similarly, S. iniae was inhibited from 10^5.85 CFU/ml to 10^3.40 CFU/ml. VHSV titer also decreased from 10^4.1 TCID₅₀/ml to 10^1.45 TCID₅₀/ml by the same treatment. Activation of water by the plasma was confirmed by the existence of ozone in the plasma water. These results suggest that plasma water could efficiently disinfect fish pathogens, possibly by the action of reactive oxygen species contained in the plasma water.

The combined process of Sliding Arc Plasma and corona dielectric barrier discharge process (CDBD) was used to efficiently improve harmful substance, which convert into OH radicals which have strong oxidation potential, and so have deodorization and sterilizing effects, by generating specific radicals and anion and then reacting with the moisture contained in harmful substance. As a result of experiment, even if the size of SAP reactor is reduced from 80 A to 50 A, there is no much change and therefore it is judged the size of reactor may be minimized. And it was confirmed that after the anion and ozone generated from CDBD rector react with harmful substance, a anion was reduced from 510,000 ppb to 470 ppb and ozone from 98 ppb to 22 ppb. It was also judged the stability and durability of plasma producer are excellent. Accordingly, it is considered the harmful substances which exist in indoor air quality will be efficiently improved and removed by using further plasma combined process through this study.

Objective: This study examined the case of a 63-year-old man with a history of hypertension and gout who had developed an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) of the right basal ganglia of the corona radiata. Methods: The patient was treated with herbal medicine (Boyanghwanoh-tang and powdered Oryeong-san extract), Western medicine (Anticonvulsants, antihypertensive drugs, psychotropic agents, and others), acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and rehabilitative therapy. Their effects were evaluated using the Manual Muscle Test (MMT), Korean version of the modified Barthel Index (K-MBI), National Institute of Health's Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Results: After treatment, the MMT grade improved from 3/3+ to 4+/4+. Additionally, the K-MBI score improved from 62 to 77. Conclusion: The results suggest that combined traditional Korean and Western medicine can effectively treat patients with ICH.

In this paper we investigated the behavior of low molecular weight silicone fluids in silicone rubber by W treatment with solvent-extraction and GPC. It was shown that LMW quantity which was extracted by solvent-extraction was decreased in UV treatment time. $200{\sim}450\;g/mol$ distribution of LMW silicone fluid was contributed to recovery. It was similar to result from corona discharge. Morphological analysis was investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The behavior of LMW silicone fluids in silicone rubber which was contributed to recovery was discussed.

Plasma techniques permit modification of the surface layers of the substrate while maintaining its bulk properties. The use of plasma treatment on textile fibers and fabrics is very limited, however, the limitations, plasma treatments have been used to modify surface properties of textiles. In this study, multifunctional finish was performed by corona discharge technique for surface functionalization. Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis(ESCA) was used to determine the ratios of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphor at a 20$\AA$ sampling depth. K/S value and limiting oxygen index(LOI) value were used to obtain information on the effect of the finished fabrics. The mechanism of the flame retardancy was analyzed by the thermogravimetry-and the residue number. In ESCA, relative N1s intensity increased in case of mixtrure. The flame retardancy of the polyester and polyester/cotton fabrics treated with JA-6034 and JA-6050 was found to be operative mainly in the condensed phase mechanism. The multifunctional finish was better effect for the post treated finish agent.

The application of a pulsed power system is being extended to a environmental and industrial fields. The non-dissolution waste water pollutants from industrial plants can be processed by applying high voltage pulses with a fast rising time (a few nanoseconds) and short duration (nano to microseconds) in a pulsed corona discharge reactor. The nano-pulse generator with a magnetic switch has been developed. Its corona current in load can be adjusted by pulse width and repetition rate. we investigated the performance of the nano-pulse generator using the dummy load which is composed of resistor and capacitor equivalent to the actual reactor. This paper descibes the electrical characteristics of the nano-pulse generator that produces a 300 ns pulse at maximum repetition rate of 400 pps with a voltage of 40 kV across a $640{\Omega}$ load. In this paper we briefly discuss a configuration of system and test results.
