The objective of this study was to evaluate the capability of different strength-maturity models to account for the effect of the hydration heat on the in-place strength development of high-strength concrete specifically developed for nuclear facility structures under various ambient curing temperatures. To simulate the primary containment-vessel of a nuclear reactor, three 1200-mm-thick wall specimens were prepared and stored under isothermal conditions of approximately $5^{\circ}C$ (cold temperature), $20^{\circ}C$ (reference temperature), and $35^{\circ}C$ (hot temperature). The in situ compressive strengths of the mock-up walls were measured using cores drilled from the walls and compared with strengths estimated from various strength-maturity models considering the internal temperature rise owing to the hydration heat. The test results showed the initial apparent activation energies at the hardening phase were approximately 2 times higher than the apparent activation energies until the final setting. The differences between core strengths and field-cured cylinder strengths became more notable at early ages and with the decrease in the ambient curing temperature. The strength-maturity model proposed by Yang provides better reliability in estimating in situ strength of concrete than that of Kim et al. and Pinto and Schindler.

Deformation of a mold is measured and analyzed in alignment and curing processes of UV-Imprint Lithography. We are focused on mold deformation caused by a UV resin, which is laminated between a mold and a target glass-panel. The UV resin is viscous in case of liquid state, and the resin will be solidified when being exposed by the ultra-violet light. The viscosity of the resin causes shear force on the mold during the alignment process. Moreover, the shrinkage during phase change from liquid to solid may cause residual stress on the mold. The experiments for measuring temperature and strain are made during alignment and curing process. Strain-gages and thermocouples are used for measuring the strain and variation of temperature on several points of the mold, respectively. The deformation of mold is also simulated and analyzed. The simulation results are compared with the experiments. Finally, sources of alignment errors in large area UV-nanoimprint lithography are discussed.

The cure kinetics of blends of epoxy (DGEBA, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A)/anhydride resin with polyamide copolymer, poly(dimmer acid-co-alkyl polyamine), were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under isothermal condition. On increasing the amount of polyamide copolymer in the blends, the reaction rate was increased and the final cure conversion was decreased. Lower values of final cure conversions in the epoxy/(polyamide copolymer) blends indicate that polyamide hinders the cure reaction between the epoxy and the curing agent. The value of the reaction order, m, for the initial autocatalytic reaction was not affected by blending polyamide copolymer with epoxy resin, and the value was approximately 1.3, whereas the reaction order, n, for the general n-th order of reaction was increased by increasing the amount of polyamide copolymer in the blends, and the value increased from 1.6 to 4.0. A diffusion-controlled reaction was observed as the cure conversion increased and the rate equation was successfully analyzed by incorporating the diffusion control term for the epoxy/anhydride/(polyamide copolymer) blends. Complete miscibility was observed in the uncured blends of epoxy/(polyamide copolymer) up to 120 $^{\circ}C$, but phase separations occurred in the early stages of the curing process at higher temperatures than 120 "C. During the curing process, the cure reaction involving the functional group in polyamide copolymer was detected on a DSC thermogram.gram.

본 연구는 LED와 플라즈마 광원의 복합레진의 중합시 완속기시 중합방식(soft-start curing)이 수축응력에 미치는 효과를 비교, 평가하고자 하였다. 할로겐 광원으로 40초간 조사하여 복합레진을 중합한 경우와 LED와 플라즈마 광원의 단일광도 중합방식과 완속기시 중합방식으로 할로겐 40초 동안의 광에너지와 총량이 동일하도록 조사시간을 설정하였고 수축응력은 스트레인 게이지(Strain gauge)를 사용하여 측정하였다. 발생되는 수축응력을 비교, 분석 및 평가한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 모든 군에서 중합 후 200초까지 수축응력이 급격하게 증가하였으나 이후 마지막 측정시간인 800초까지 완만한 증가를 보였다(P<0.05). 2. LED와 플라즈마 광원의 완속기시 중합방법이 단일광도 중합방법에 비해 수축응력이 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 3. 할로겐 광원과 LED와 플라즈마 광원의 완속기시 중합의 수축응력 비교에는 유의차가 없었다(P>0.05). 완속기시 중합 방식을 사용할 경우 단일광도 중합 방식보다 수축응력을 감소시킬 수 있어 임상적으로 고광도 광원인 LED와 플라즈마 광원의 경우 완속기시 중합 방식의 사용이 유리하다고 보여진다. 그러나 완속기시 중합시 불충분한 중합을 방지하기 위해서는 완속기시를 보완하는 추가적인 중합시간이 요구될 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 단계별 광중합 방법이 복합레진의 중합 및 수축 응력에 미치는 효과를 비교, 평가하고자 자연치를 대상으로 와동을 형성하고 할로겐 광중합기와 LED 광중합기의 통법에 의한 연속 조사 및 단계별 조사법으로 각각 복합레진을 중합시킨 후 수축 응력을 측정하고 주사전자현미경을 통해 수복물과 와동의 계면부에서 접착 상태를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 모든 군에서 광중합 직후에는 일시적으로 팽창되었다가 초기에는 급격한 수축 응력의 증가를 보였고 시간이 경과될수록 수축 응력의 증가가 완만해지는 경향을 보였다(P<0.05). 2. 동일한 광조사 군내에서는 hybrid형인 Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$군보다는 flowable형인 $Filtek\;flow^{TM}$군이 더 적은 수축 응력을 보였다. 3. Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$군에서는 LED 단계별 조사군이 수축 응력 이 가장 적게 나타났다(P<0.05) 4. $Filtek\;flow^{TM}$군 역시 LED단계별 조사군이 수축 응력이 가장 작게 나타났으나(P<0.05) Filtek Z-250군에서와 같이 다른 조사군에 비해 많은 차이를 보여주지는 못했다. 5. 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 복합레진과 와동벽과의 접합 상태는 긴밀한 상태를 보였으나 LED 조사군에서 일부 틈이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 hybrid형 복합레진의 경우 단계별 중합방식을 사용할 경우 단일광도의 중합방식에 비해 수축 응력을 감소시킬 수 있고 적절한 변연 적합상태를 유지시킴으로써 임상적으로 고광도 LED 광중합기의 경우 단계별 중합방식의 사용이 유리하다고 사료된다.

The discharge of fly ash that is produced by coal-fired electric power plants is rapidly increasing in Korea. The utilization of fly ash in the raw materials would contribute to the elimination of an environmental problem and to the development of new high-performance materials. Fly ash consists of a glass phase. As it is produced from high temperature, it is a chemically stable material. Fly ash mostly consists of $SiO_{2}$ and $Al_{2}O_{3}$, and it assumes the form of an oxide in the inside of fly ash. Because this reaction has not broken out by itself, it is need to supply it with additional $OH^{-}$ through alkali activators. We used alkali activators for supplying it with additional $OH^{-}$. This paper concentrated on the strength development according to the kind of chemical activators, the curing temperature, the heat curing time.

The formation of biopolymer-soil matrices mainly depends on biopolymer type and concentration, soil type, pore fluid and phase transfer to influence its strengthening efficiency. In this study, the physical and mechanical properties of sodium alginate (SA) treated kaolinite are investigated through compaction test, thread rolling teat, fall cone test and unconfined compression test with considering biopolymer concentration, curing time, initial water content, mixing method. The results show that the liquid limit slightly decreases from 69.9% to 68.3% at 0.2% SA and then gradually increases to 98.3% at 5% SA. At hydrated condition, the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of SA treated clay at 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3% concentrations is 2.57, 4.5, 7.1 and 5.48 times of untreated clay (15.7 kPa) at the same initial water content. In addition, the optimum biopolymer concentration, curing time, mixing method and initial water content can be regarded as 2%, 28 days, room temperature water-dry mixing (RD), 50%-55% to achieve the maximum unconfined compressive strength, which corresponds to the UCS increment of 593%, compared to the maximum UCS of untreated clay (780 kPa).

본 연구에서는, IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle: 석탄가스화 복합발전)에서 배출되는 용융 슬래그로 부터 지오폴리머를 제조하여 알칼리 활성화제의 몰농도, W/S 비(water/ solid ratio), 재령일에 따른 비중과 압축강도 등 물리적 특성을 분석함과 동시에 발포제인 Si 슬러지를 첨가하여 경량화 소재로서의 가능성을 고찰하였다. 특히 경량 지오폴리머의 강도 특성향상을 위하여 복합 활성화제 및 pre-curing 공정을 적용하였다. 단일 활성화제를 사용한 경량 지오폴리머의 압축 강도는 9.5 MPa이었으나, 복합 활성화제로 제조할 경우 2~5배 정도의 압축강도 증진 효과를 나타내었다. 더군다나, pre-curing을 실시한 경량 지오폴리머의 경우, pre-curing하지 않은 시편들에 비해 18~48 % 가량 높은 압축강도 값을 보였다. 본 연구에서 복합 활성화제와 pre-curing 공정의 도입으로 얻어진 경량 지오폴리머의 최고 압축강도는 40 MPa(3일 재령하여 밀도가 $1.83g/cm^3$인 시편)로서 시멘트 콘크리트에 필적하였다. XRD 결정상 분석과 SEM을 이용한 미세구조 분석을 통하여 지오폴리머 표면에서 C-S-H 겔(sodium silicate hydrate gel)의 모상에 꽃봉오리 모양의 zeolite 결정상이 균일하게 분포된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The aim of the study was to establish the influence of particle size, chemical and phase composition of fine microspherical high-calcium fly ash (HCFA), as well as superplasticizer content on the strength of cementless composite materials based on 100% HCFA and mixtures of HCFA with Portland cement (PC). For the initial HCFA fractions, the particle size distribution, chemical and quantitative phase composition were determined. The compressive strength of cured composite materials obtained at W/B 0.4 and 0.25 was determined at a curing time of 3-300 days. For cementless materials, it was found that a change in the particle size d90 from 30 ㎛ (fraction 3) to 10 ㎛ (fraction 4) leads to an increase in compressive strength by more than 2 times. Compressive strength increases by at least another 2.2 times with the addition of Melflux 5581F superplasticizer (0.12%) and at W/B 0.25. The HCFA-PC blends were investigated in the range of 60-90% HCFA and the maximum compressive strength was found at 80% HCFA. On the basis of 80% HCFA-20% PC blend, the samples of ultra-high strength (108 and 150 MPa at 28 and 100 days of hardening) were obtained with the addition of 0.3% Melflux 5581F and 5% silica fume. The quantitative phase composition was determined for composite materials with a curing age of 28 days. It has been established that in a sample with ultra-high strength, a more complete transformation of the initial phases of both HCFA and PC occurs as compared to their transformation separately.
