Electric double-layer capacitors based on charge storage at the interface between a high surface area activated carbon electrode and an electrolyte solution are characterized by their long cycle-life and high power density in comparison with batteries. However, energy density of electric double-layer capacitors obtained at present is about 6 Wh/kg at a power density of 500W/kg which is smaller as compared with that of batteries and limits the wide spread use of the capacitors. Therefore, a new capacitor that shows larger energy density than that of electric double-layer capacitors is proposed. The new capacitor is the hybrid capacitor consisting of activated carbon cathode, carbonaceous anode and an organic electrolyte. Maximum voltage applicable to the cell is over 4.2V that is larger than that of the electric double-layer capacitor. As a result, discharged energy density on the basis of stacked volume of electrode, current collector and separator is more than 18Wh/l at a power density of 500W/l.

Silicone sealants are composed of polymer, plasticizer, crosslinker, catalyst and filler. Types and compositions of components are effected on sealant performances. In recent, use of alkoxy type silicone sealant increased due to environmental advantage. In this study, we investigated effects of component types and ratios on one-part room temperature curable alkoxy type silicone sealant preparation and adhesion properties. Alkoxy type silicone sealants were prepared with various PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) viscosities. In addition, the effect of plasticizer, crosslinkers, and catalyst on sealant obtained from by mixture of PDMS viscosities of 20000 and 80000 was investigated. Reaction temperature on change of mixing time was observed, and then proper crosslinking systems were found. Adhesion (properties) of silicone sealants were measured. In the sealants preparation, stable reaction was achieved by adjusting composition variance ratio in the sealant mixture temperature below $40^{\circ}C$. The adhesion properties of sealant differ from substrate composition. The order of adhesion strength was glass/glass > glass/aluminum > aluminum/aluminum system. The elongation of sealant was increased as polymer viscosity and plasticizer content increased. The strength was increased as crosslinker and plasticizer decreased, while catalyst increased.

In this study, UV-curing type organic - inorganic hybrid hard coating solutions were prepared from alumina sols and acrylate monomers. The mixture of alumina sols, prepared from aluminum isopropoxide, and a silane coupling agent, methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane(MPTMS), was used as an inorganic component. Also, the mixture of acrylate monomers, pentaerythritol triacrylate(PETA), 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate(HDDA) and dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (DPEHA), was used as an organic component. The organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions were obtained by mixing the inorganic component and organic component, deposited on polycarbonate substrates by spin coating and densified by UV-curing. The effect of the amount of MPTMS in the inorganic component and the irradiation time during UV-curing was studied on the properties of coating films. As a result, when 0.20 mole of MPTMS was used, the pencil hardness of coated films showed an excellent pencil hardness of 3H and also exhibited a good abrasion resistance of 2% in haze.

Urethane waterproofing materials which currently being used most commonly in the Korean domestic market have high applicability and construct layers without forming any joints, but under the influence of low temperature and low humidity, as well as the thickness of the applied layer, the curing time of this material may become extended in construction sites. To resolve these issues, a proposed method of using water-hardening type of polyurethane waterproofing materials are being developed. However, there currently lacks any standards or evaluation methods on determining an optimal mixture ratio of water for the water-hardening polyurethane waterproofing materials. Therefore, workers and construction workers are relying on their hands-on-skills and experience to determine this ratio and are not able to obtain a consistent performance quality out of these materials. Therefore, for the establishment of a board applicability of the water-hardening polyurethane waterproofing methods in construction sites, this study objectively analyzes the changes in the performance of these materials depending on the changes of the water mixture ratio and attempts to procure the optimal ratio on the basis of forming a provisionary standard. The study prepares mixtures of varying ratio(no water added, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50) and conducts comparative analysis respective mixtures' performances and their changes in the physical properties in an objective manner and proposes a provisional optimal value that can serve as a data base that can be used as a reference for future studies.

Recently, microstructures fabricated using microstereolithography technology have been used in the biological, medical and mechanical fields. Microstereolithography can fabricate real 3D microstructures with fine features, although there is presently a limited number of materials available for use in the process. Deformation of the fine features on a fabricated microstructure remains a critical issue for successful part fabrication, and part deformation can occur during rinsing or during fabrication as a result of fluid flow forces that occur during movement of mechanical parts of the system. Deformation can result in failure to fabricate a particular feature by breaking the feature completely, spatial deflection of the feature, or attaching the feature to neighboring microstructures. To improve mechanical strength of fabricated microstructures, a clay nanocomposite can be used. In particular, a high-aspect ratio microstructure can be fabricated without distortion using photocurable liquid resin containing a clay nanocomposite. In this paper, a clay nanocomposite was blended with a photocurable liquid resin to solve the deformation problem that occurs during fabrication and rinsing. An optimal mixture ratio of a clay nanocomposite was found through tensile testing and the minimal allowable distance between microstructures was found through fabrication experimentation. Finally, using these results, high-aspect ratio microstructures were fabricated using a clay nanocomposite resin without distortion.

This paper describes a simple approach for preparing a superhydrophobic and superoleophobic coating via spraying the mixture of UV-curable polyurethane acrylate and silica nanoparticles dispersed in a solvent. The prepared surface structures can be controlled by changing the types of solvents, the concentration of the polymer, and the amount of spraying. Superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity are quantified by measuring the contact angle of water and oil, respectively. We also demonstrate the mechanism of spray coating with maximized superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity through the analysis of re-entrant surface structures. At the appropriate amount and the composition of mixed solutions, the contact angle hysteresis of water and oil on the prepared surface is less than 2° and 30°, respectively. In addition, it shows excellent water-repellent and oil-repellent properties such that the oil droplet bounces off the surface.

UV-cured acrylic copolymer pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) having different amounts of crosslinking agents were prepared and adhesion properties were investigated. 0.01 wt% of MMT clay was dispersed in 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA)/acrylic acid (AA) monomer mixture containing 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.3 wt% 1,6-hexandiol diacrylate (HDDA) for crosslinking. It was investigated that the curing behavior and surface chemistry of PSAs were merely affected by the presence of MMT clays. On the other hand, adhesive properties were influenced by the MMT addition; a cohesive failure was restrained due to improved molecular elasticity even in uncrosslinked acrylic PSAs. However, it was also appeared that combination of 0.3 wt% crosslinking agent and MMT loading might result in the damage of adhesion properties of PSAs possibly due to the lack of chain flexibility. In our studies, it is suggested that the 2-EHA/AA PSAs incorporating 0.01 wt% of MMT and crosslinked with 0.05 wt% of HDDA exhibited the balanced adhesion properties without severe cohesive failure during strip.
