Heaters using the resistance heating principle are used in various industrial fields that require heat and are also essentially used in bidet among small home appliances. A planar heater and a coil-inserted heater mounted on a conventional commercially used bidet have disadvantages and limitations of complicated manufacturing process and local heating. In this study, silver-palladium (Ag-Pd) powder material was used for a screen-printing process that is more advantageous in achieving simplification than the existing process, and a rod-type heater for bidet was manufactured. The on-off cycle test under actual conditions was conducted to confirm the durability and the capability of the fabricated heater, and the fabricated heater operated more than 2,600 on-off cycles, which means it could be applied for a commercial product. In addition, through the on-off cycles under harsh conditions, the cause of failure was identified after the test that the durability limit temperature of the heater was 850℃. Through Ag-Pd rod heater in this study, it is expected to contribute to the efficient development of electrode materials for heaters and the improvement of the durability of heaters in the future.

PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) 수전해의 성능향상에 대해 많은 연구개발이 진행되었으나, 내구성에 대한 연구는 아직 초기 단계라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 성능향상을 위해 PEM 수전해 구동 온도를 상승시켰을 때, 수전해 내구성에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 50~80 ℃ 온도 범위에서 일정 전류 조건으로 구동하면서 전압변화, I-V, CV (Cyclic Voltammetry), LSV (Linear Sweep Voltammetry), Impedance, FER (Fluoride Emission Rate) 등을 측정했다. 운전온도가 상승할수록 열화속도가 증가했다. 50~65 ℃에서는 IrO₂ 전극 촉매 열화가 PEM 수전해 셀의 내구성에 주로 영향을 주었다. 80 ℃에서는 고분자 막과 전극 열화가 비슷하게 진행되어 short 저항이 1.0 kΩ·cm² 이하로 감소하면서 shorting 현상에 의해 구동한지 144시간 만에 성능이 초기의 약 1/3로 감소하였다.

Recently, extensive studies have been carried out to enhance various performance aspects such as the durability, lifespan, and hardness by combining diverse materials or developing novel materials. The utilization of superhydrophobic surfaces, particularly in the automotive, textile, and medical device industries, has gained momentum to achieve improved performance and efficiency. Superhydrophobicity refers to a surface state where the contact angle when water droplets fall is above 150°, while the contact angle during sliding motion is smaller than 10°. Superhydrophobic surfaces offer the advantage of water droplets not easily sliding off, maintaining a cleaner state as the droplets leave the surface. Surface modification involves two fundamental steps to achieve superhydrophobicity: surface roughness increase and surface energy reduction. However, existing methods, such as time-consuming processes and toxic organic precursors, still face challenges. In this study, we propose a method for superhydrophobic surface modification using lasers, aiming to create roughness in micro/nanostructures, ensuring durability while improving the production time and ease of fabrication. The mechanical durability of superhydrophobic samples treated with lasers is comparatively evaluated against chemical etching samples. The experimental results demonstrate superior mechanical durability through the laser treatment. Therefore, this research provides an effective and practical approach to superhydrophobic surface modification, highlighting the utility of laser treatment.

콘크리트 구조물은 사용기간의 증가에 따라 내구적인 성능저하를 보이게 되며, 이러한 성능저하는 구조적인 성능저하로 진전되어 최종적으로는 안전상의 문제가 된다. 최근에 많은 표면보수 공법이 제시되고 있으나, 보수시공기술 또는 재료자체의 결함으로 뚜렷한 보수성능을 확보하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 구조물의 표면보수를 위하여 액상 무기계 침투제를 개발하였으며, 침투된 콘크리트 시편을 대상으로 내구성능에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 기존에 개발된 침투제를 적용한 콘크리트 시편과 내구성에 대하여 비교를 수행하였다. 침투된 콘크리트 표면에서는 잔존하는 수산화칼슘과 침투된 실리케이트와의 반응에 따라 추가적인 CSH겔이 형성되었으며, 이에따라, 소수성을 가진 저공극층이 콘크리트 표면에 형성됨을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 개발된 액상형 침투제를 이용한 콘크리트 시편은 내구적인 성능에서 침투전의 시편 및 기존에 사용된 침투제를 적용한 시편에 비해, 우수한 내구적 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 탄소섬유로 구성된 아치형태의 시험편에 인장각도가 작용할 때 내부의 섬유구조에서 발생되는 등가응력과 변형량에 관한 것이다. CFRP는 무수히 많은 각 섬유가 하나의 축으로 작용하며 이를 통해 금속과 비교할 때 높은 비강도와 비강성을 가질 수 있다. 본 연구에서 사전연구에 의해 최적 적층각도는 $60^{\circ}$로 구성된 아치형 구조에서 반경에 따른 응력분포를 결과를 검토하며 같은 적층각도에서 그 반경이 증가할수록 내구성이 낮아짐을 알 수 있다. 이를 통해 본 연구 결과를 적층 각도에 따른 아치형 구조의 설계에 적용함으로써, 파손방지와 내구성 향상을 위한 안전설계에 기여할 수 있으며, 패드 형상의 디자인적인 요소를 융합기술에 접목하여 그 미적인 감각을 나타낼 수 있다.

일반적으로 동슬래그를 콘크리트에 혼입하여 사용하는 경우, 동슬래그의 높은 자중으로 인한 블리딩의 증가로 경화 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 내구성의 저하가 유발된다. 본 연구에서는 산업부산물인 동슬래그를 잔골재의 대체골재로 사용하고자 하였는데 이에 따른 단점의 해소 및 자원 재활용 측면에서 플라이애쉬와의 병용 사용을 실시하였다. 본 연구 결과, 플라이애쉬의 혼입은 동슬래그만 단독으로 사용한 경우보다, 블리딩은 50%, 건조수축은 5%, 중성화 저항성은 30% 감소 및 압축강도는 10% 정도 향상 효과가 나타났다.

Conventional studies have focused on the reduction in the water-cement ratio, the use of various admixtures, etc., to ensure the durability of reinforced concrete structures against such deterioration factors as carbonation and chloride attack. However, improvement in the concrete quality alone is not considered sufficient or realistic for meeting the recent demand for a service life of over 100 years. This study intends to improve the durability of reinforced concrete structures by improvement in the reinforcing steel, which has remained untouched due to cost problems, through subtle adjustment of the steel components to keep the cost low. As a fundamental study on the performance of Cr-bearing rebars in steel reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments, The test specimens were made by installing 8 types of rebars in concretes with a chloride ion content of 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4 and $24kg/m^3$. Corrosion accelerated curing were then conducted with them. The corrosion resistance of Cr-bearing rebars was examined by measuring crack widths, half-cell potential, corrosion area and weight loss after 155 cycles of corrosion-accelerating curing. The results of the study showed that the corrosion resistance increased as the Cr content increased regardless of the content of chloride ions, and that the Cr-bearing rebars with a Cr content of 5% and 9% showed high corrosion resistance in concretes with a chloride ion content of 1.2 and $2.4kg/m^3$, respectively.

Large area members such as foundation concrete of underground structures in power plants have an effect on structural stability and durability of the structure due to danger of crack occurrence and shrinkage crack that occur owing to the difference of temperature by heat of hydration between inside and outside of the members at initial age. And a construction for waterproofness is performed additionally to protect marine structures from osmosis of seawater because the structures adjoin below the surface of sea. So, if a rise of the heat of hydration, crack, and corrosion of bars are controled effectively using a composite such as fluosilicate salt in concrete production process of a initial construction, expenses are cut down and construction hours are reduced by securing durability through improvement of watertightness. The property tests of adiabatic temperature by hydration are carried out at initial age about standard concrete and test concrete using a fluosilicate salt composite to evaluate an effect on improvement of watertightness for concrete structures in this study. And the experiments such as a permeability test of hardened concrete, a water absorption test, a compression strength test and a elongation test are carried out and the results from these are described.

본 연구에서는 내식성이 우수한 동합금에 대하여 내구성 향상을 위해 쇼트피닝 시간을 변수로 표면 개질하여 전기화학적 특성과 조직 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 쇼트피닝 후 표면에 전체적으로 요철이 발생하였으며, 시간이 증가할수록 커버리지 향상에 따른 균질화 현상이 관찰되었다. 또한 쇼트피닝된 모든 시험편에서 경도가 향상되었으며, 쇼트피닝 시간이 3.5분일 때 52 %의 경도향상을 나타냈다. 그리고 이때 전기화학적 특성은 쇼트피닝을 실시하지 않은 경우와 유사하였다.

Generally it is informed that urethane materials are superior to the others in physical characteristics, durability, ground improvement and the influence to environment . But, the existing urethane methods are too expensive to apply. So this study has analyzed the applicability of TAS method which has developed the existing urethane injection mechanism. From the results, Extending the max-infection distance over l0m from 6m which the existing methods could inject to, TAS method has proved to be economical. Also, the TAS method is obtained quickly to ground improvement effect in various tunnel constructions because rise-time was relatively shorter than that of cement-grouting. Therefore, it is expected that TAS method would be applied a lot for water proof and ground improvement etc. owing to its many advantages mentioned the above.
