Ion beam bombardment at low energy forms nanosize patterns such as ripples, dots or wrinkles on the surface of polymers in ambient temperature and pressure. It has been known that the ion beam can alter the polymer surface that induces skins stiffer or the density higher by higher compressive stress or strain energies associated with chain scissions and crosslinks of the polymer. Atomic scale structure evolution in polymers is essential to understand a stress generation mechanism during the ion beam bombardment, which governs the nanoscale surface structure evolution. In this work, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to characterize the phenomenon occurred in bombardment between the ion beam and polymers that forms nanosize patterns. We investigate the structure evolution of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) at 300 K as the polymer is bombarded with Argon ions having various kinetic energies ranging from 100 eV to 1 KeV with 50 eV intervals having the fluence of $1.45\;{\times}\;1014 #/cm2$. These simulations use the Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF), which can mimic chemical covalent bonds and includes van der Waals potentials for describing the intermolecular interactions. The results show the details of the structural evolution of LDPE by the low energy Ar ion bombardment. Analyses through kinetic and potential energy, number of crosslinks and chain scissions, level of local densification and motions of atoms support that the residual strain energies on the surface is strongly associated with the number of crosslinks or scissored chains. Also, we could find an optimal Ar ion beam energy to make crosslinks well.

Oxide coatings are formed on die-cast AZ91D Mg alloy through an environmentally friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) process using an electrolytic solution of $NaAlO_2$, KOH, and KF. The effects of PEO condition with different duty cycles (10 %, 20 %, and 40 %) and frequencies(500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz) on the crystal phase, composition, microstructure, and micro-hardness properties of the oxide coatings are investigated. The oxide coatings on die-cast AZ91D Mg alloy mainly consist of MgO and $MgAl_2O_4$ phases. The proportion of each crystalline phase depends on various electrical parameters, such as duty cycle and frequency. The surfaces of oxide coatings exhibit as craters of pancake-shaped oxide melting and solidification particles. The pore size and surface roughness of the oxide coating increase considerably with increase in the number of duty cycles, while the densification and thickness of oxide coatings increase progressively. Differences in the growth mechanism may be attributed to differences in oxide growth during PEO treatment that occur because the applied operating voltage is insufficient to reach breakdown voltage at higher frequencies. PEO treatment also results in the oxide coating having strong adhesion properties on the Mg alloy. The micro-hardness at the cross-section of oxide coatings is much higher not only compared to that on the surface but also compared to that of the conventional anodizing oxide coatings. The oxide coatings are found to improve the micro-hardness with the increase in the number of duty cycles, which suggests that various electrical parameters, such as duty cycle and frequency, are among the key factors controlling the structural and physical properties of the oxide coating.

탄소/탄소 복합재는 우수한 열충격 저항성, 낮은 밀도뿐만 아니라, 초고온에서도 높은 강성과 강도를 가지는 독특한 소재이다. 그러나, 탄소/탄소 복합재의 적용에 있어서 심각한 결함이 있는데, 높은 온도에서 산화되는 환경에서는 취약한 산화 저항을 나타낸다는 것이다. 탄화규소 코팅은 탄소재의 산화를 보호하는데 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 4방향성 탄소/탄소 복합재의 삭마 거동을 시험하기 위해 액체연료 로켓 엔진을 사용하여 연소시험을 하였다. 탄소/탄소 복합재는 기지 전구체로 석탄 핏치를 사용하였고, $2300^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 하였다. 고밀도화 과정을 반복하여 시편의 밀도는 $1.903g/cm^3$에 달했다. 4방향성 탄소/탄소 복합재를 노즐 형태로 가공한 후, 산화 저항성을 개선하기 위하여 pack-cementation 방법으로 노즐 표면에 탄화규소를 코팅하였다. 탄화규소로 코팅된 노즐의 삭마 특성은 연료와 산소의 비율에 따라 측정하였다. 또한 연소시험 후 노즐의 삭마된 현상은 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하고, 삭마 메커니즘을 논의하였다.

고압 환경에서 규산염 용융체의 원자 구조에 대한 정보는 지구 내부 마그마의 열전도율이나 주변 암석과의 원소 분배계수와 같은 이동 물성을 이해하는 단서를 제공한다. 규소의 전자 구조는 규산염 다면체 주변의 산소 원자 분포와 연관성을 가질 것으로 예상되나, 이 사이의 상관관계가 명확하게 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 SiO₂의 고밀도화에 따른 규소의 전자 구조 변화의 미시적인 기원을 규명하기 위해 SiO₂ 동질이상의 규소 부분 상태 밀도와 L₃-edge X-선 흡수분광분석(X-ray absorption spectroscopy; XAS) 스펙트럼을 계산하였다. 규소의 전도 띠 영역에서 전자 구조는 결정 구조에 따라서 변화하였다. 특히 d-오비탈은 108, 130 eV 영역에서 배위 환경에 따른 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 계산된 XAS 스펙트럼은 규소 전도 띠의 s,d-오비탈에서 기인하는 피크를 보였으며, 결정 구조에 따라 s,d-오비탈과 유사한 양상으로 변화했다. 계산된 석영의 XAS 스펙트럼은 SiO₂ 유리의 XR S 실험 결과와 유사하였으며 규소 주변 원자 환경이 비슷하기 때문으로 생각된다. XAS 스펙트럼을 수치화한 무게 중심 값은 Si-O 결합 거리와 밀접한 상관관계를 가지며 이로 인하여 고밀도화 과정에서 체계적으로 변화한다. 본 연구의 결과는 Si-O 결합 거리에 민감한 규소 L_2,3-edge XRS가 규산염 유리 및 용융체의 고밀도화 기작을 규명하는 과정에서 유용하게 적용될 수 있음을 지시한다.

Renewable Portfolio Standards(RPS) is a regulation that requires a renewable energy generated from eco-friendly energy sources such as biomass, wind, solar, and geothermal. The RPS mechanism generally is an obligatory policy that places on electricity supply companies to produce a designated fraction of their electricity from renewable energies. The domestic companies to supply electricity largely rely on wood pellets in order to implement the RPS in spite of undesirable situation of lack of wood resources in Korea. This means that the electricity supply companies in Korea must explore new biomass as an alternative to wood. Palm kernel shell (PKS) and empty fruit bunch (EFB) as oil palm wastes can be used as raw materials used for making pellets after their thermochemical treatment like torrefaction. Torrefaction is a pretreatment process which serves to improve the properties including heating value and energy densification of these oil palm wastes through a mild pyrolysis at temperature typically ranging between 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ in the absence of oxygen under atmospheric pressure. Torrefaction of oil palms wastes at above $200^{\circ}C$ contributed to the increase of fixed carbon with the decrease of volatile matters, leading to the improvement of their calorific values over 20.9 MJ/kg (=5,000 kcal/kg) up to 25.1 MJ/kg (=6,000 kcal/kg). In particular, EFB sensitively responded to torrefaction because of its physical properties like fiber bundles, compared to PKS and hardwood chips. In conclusion, torrefaction treatment of PKS and EFB can greatly contribute to the implement of RPS of the electricity supply companies in Korea through the increased co-firing biomass with coal.

The effect of pressureless-sintered temperature on the densification behavior, mechanical and electrical properties of the $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites was investigated. The $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were pressureless-sintered for 2 hours at temperatures in the range of $1,750{\sim}1,900[^{\circ}C]$, with an addition of 12[wt%] of $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$(6:4 mixture of $Al_2O_3\;and\;Y_2O_3$) as a sintering aid. The relative density and mechanical properties are increased markedly at temperatures in the range of $1,850{\sim}1,900[{^\circ}C]$. The relative density, flexural strength, vicker's hardness and fracture toughness showed the highest value of 81.1[%], 230[MPa], 9.88[GPa] and $6.05[MPa\;m^{1/2}]$ for $SiC-ZrB_2$ composites of $1,900[{^\circ}C]$ sintering temperature at room temperature respectively. The electrical resistivity was measured by the Pauw method in the temperature ranges from $25[{^\circ}C]\;to\;700[{^\circ}C]$, The electrical resistivity showed the value of $1.36{\times}10^{-4},\;3.83{\times}10^{-4},\;3.51{\times}10^{-4}\;and\; 3.2{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}{\cdot}cm]$ for SZ1750, SZ1800, SZ1850 and SZ1900 respectively at room temperature. The electrical resistivity of the composites was all PTCR(Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistivity). The resistance temperature coefficient showed the value of $4.194{\times}10^{-3},\;3,740{\times}10^{-3},\;2,993{\times}10^{-3},\;3,472{\times}10^{-3}/[^{\circ}C}$ for SZ1750, SZ1800, SZ1850 and SZ1900 respectively in the temperature ranges from $25[{\circ}C]\;to\;700[{\circ}C]$, It is assumed that because polycrystallines such as recrystallized $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites, contain of porosity and In Situ $YAG(Al_5Y_3O_{12})$ crystal grain boundaries, their electrical conduction mechanism are complicated. In addition, because the condition of such grain boundaries due to $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives widely varies with sintering temperature, electrical resistivity of the $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites with sintering temperature also varies with sintering condition. It is convinced that ${\beta}-SiC$ based electroconductive ceramic composites for heaters or ignitors can be manufactured by pressureless sintering.

Geopolymer는 시멘트와 비교하여 $CO_2$ 배출량의 감소, 내화성, 낮은 열전도성 등 다양한 장점을 보유하고 있는 eco-friendly 건설재료이다. 그러나 표면에 화염을 가할 경우 geopolymer panel 표면의 열적거동에 대한 연구결과는 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 내열성 건축자재로서 화염노출시 geopolymer 경화체의 표면특성을 조사하기 위하여 alumina 골재가 사용된 geopolymer 경화체 표면의 화염노출 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 화염노출시 panel의 외형변형 및 열충격에 의한 크랙은 없었으며, calcite의 잔존량과 aluminosilicate gel의 halo 패턴으로 보아 화염에 의한 탈탄산 및 탈수는 표면에 국한되어 발생했으며, geopolymer 경화체의 내구성은 화염조사 후에도 유지되고 있는 것으로 판단된다. Quartz와 calcite가 감소함에 따라 gehlenite와 calcium silicate가 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있으며, BFS의 치환량이 많을수록 현저하게 나타난다. 화염노출에 따른 미세구조의 변화는 탈탄산, 결정수의 탈수 등으로 기공의 형성과 발전되는 과정을 거쳐 calcium silicate, gehlenite 등과 같은 새로운 결정상의 형성에 의해 geopolymer panel 표면의 치밀화와 강화기구로 작용하여 내구성이 향상된 것으로 생각된다.
