In this work, HAp-(t-ZrO2) ceramic composites of biomimic artificial bone were fabricated by multi-extrusion process in order to replace nature bone. HAp-(t-ZrO2) and graphite powders were mixed separately with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and stearic acid using shear mixer. Extruded HAp-(t-ZrO2) filaments and carbon filaments were arranged in the die to fabricate the first pass filament. The first pass filaments were arranged in the same die with a central carbon core for making the space for spongy bone. Burning out and sintering processes were performed to remove the binder and lubricant. The microstructure channel diameter was researched around $300{\mu}m$. Microstructure analysis was carried out by OM, SEM, and $\mu$-CT. Compressive strength was investigated for the artificial bone. Some preliminary bio-compatibility test was evaluated.

Polymeric materials in addition to Portland cement and hydrated limes were used to solidify heavy metal contaminated tailings from five abandoned metal mines in Korea. Mine tailings were mixed separately with Portland cement and hydrated lime at a concentration of 20-30 wt% and 6-9 wt%, respectively and Ethylene Vinyl Acetate(EVA) powder was added to each specimen at a ratio of 2.5 and 5.0 wt% to binders. Polymer-added and polymer-free solidified forms were evaluated for their appropriateness in accordance with the suggested test methods. Regardless of addition of polymeric materials, all solidified forms satisfy the uniaxial compressive strength(UCS) requirements(0.35MPa) for land reclamation and show remarkably reduced leaching concentrations of heavy metals such as As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn less than the toxicity criteria of Korean standard leaching test(KSLT). The addition of polymeric materials increased the UCS of solidified forms to improve a long-term stability of solidified mine tailings.

In silicon crystalline PV (Photo Voltaic) industry, PV module or panel electric power is directly related to the companies' profit. Thus, many PV companies have invested and focused on R&D activities to get the higher module power. The main BOM (Bills of Material) on the module consists of PV solar cell, ribbon, EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate copolymer), glass and back sheet. Based on consistent research efforts on enhancing module power using BOM, there have been increase of around 5 watt per module every year as results. However, there are lack of studies related to enhancing accuracy of measurement. In this study, the enhancing on the metrology is investigated and the improvement shows actually contribution to company's profit. Especially, the measurement issues related to heat and to quasi state of bandgap diagram by EL(Electro Luminescence) are described in this study.

Intumescent system is a highly effective flame retardant technology that takes advantage of the mechanism of foaming and carbonization. In order to materialize Intumescent system, it is necessary to use reinforcement material to improve the strength of the material. In this study, we used kenaf as a natural fiber to manufacture intumescent/EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) composites to improve mechanical and flame retardant performance. Finally two materials with different particle shape are applied to one system. Therefore, the influence factors of the particles with different shapes on the composite material were analyzed based on the tensile test. For this purpose, we have used the tensile strength analysis model and confirmed that it can only act as a partial strength reinforcement due to weak binding force between the matrix and particles. In the combustion characteristics analysis using cone calorimeter and UL 94, the combustion characteristics were enhanced as the content of Intuemscent was increased. As the content of kenaf increased, combustion characteristics were strengthened and carbonization characteristics were weakened. Through the application of kenaf, it can be confirmed that elastic modulus improvement and combustion characteristics can be strengthened, which confirmed the possibility of development of environmentally friendly flame retardant materials.

Flexible impact force sensors composed of piezoelectric PZT/PDMS composite sandwiched between Al/PET films were fabricated and their voltage signal characteristics were evaluated under varying impact forces for electronic mitt applications. The piezoelectric impact force sensor on an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) substrate exhibited an output voltage difference of no greater than 40 mV a periodical impact test in with the impact load was increased by as much as 240 N by a restoration time of 5 s in a five-time experiment, implying good sensing ability. Moreover, the impact force sensor embedded four electronic mitts showed a reliable sensitivity of less than 1 mV/N and good repeatability under 100 N-impact force during a cycle test executed 10,000 times. This indicated that the fabricated flexible piezoelectric impact sensor could be used in electronic mitt applications. However, the relatively low elastic limit of substrate material such as EVA or poly-urethane slightly deteriorated the sensitivity of the impact sensor embedded electronic mitt at over 200 N-impact forces.

An integral electrode-bipolar plate assembly, which is composed of electrode, conductive adhesive film (CAF) and bipolar plate, has been developed and evaluated for application with a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) to decrease contact resistance between electrode and bipolar plate. The CAF, made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl-acetate) material with carbon black or CNT (Carbon Nano Tube), is applied between the electrode and the bipolar plate to enable an integral assembly by adhesion. In order to evaluate the integral assembly of VRB by adhesive film, the resistivity of integral assembly and the performance of single cell were investigated. Thus, it was verified that the integral assembly is applicable to redox flow battery. Through resistance and contact resistance of bare EVA and CAF films on bipolar plate were changed. Among the adhesive films, CAF film coated with carbon black showed the lowest value in through resistance, and CAF film coated with CNT showed the lowest value in contact resistance, respectively. The efficiency of VRB single cell was improved by applying CAF films coated with carbon black and CNT, resulting in the reduced overvoltage in charging process. Therefore, the energy efficiency of both CAF films, about 84%, were improved than that of blank cell, about 79.5 % under current density at 40 mA cm^-2. The energy efficiency of the two cells were similar, but carbon black coated CAF improved the coulomb efficiency and CNT coated CAF improved the voltage efficiency, respectively.

최근 들어 늘어나고 있는 도시형 화재 사고와 건축 외장재에 따른 화재 피해 사례의 증가에 따라 난연처리기술의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 특히, 목재를 기반으로 한 건축재료의 활용에 있어서 난연처리기술은 더욱 중요하게 평가되고 있다. Intumescent 시스템은 비할로겐계 난연처리기술의 하나로, 발포와 탄화층 형성을 통하여 난연성을 구현하는 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 Intumescent 시스템을 적용하기 위해 Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)를 매트릭스로 채용하여 복합재료를 제조하였다. Intumescent 시스템의 난연특성을 강화하기 위해 나노클레이를 함께 적용하였다. Intumescent 시스템과 나노클레이 기술을 함께 적용한 복합재료를 시트상의 시험편으로 가공한 후, 이를 활용하여 표면의 난연특성이 강화된 새로운 구조의 교호집성재를 제작하였다. Intumescent 시스템을 적용한 복합재료의 연소특성 평가에서 최대 열방출량이 효과적으로 감소되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 표면에 부착된 구조에 따라 CLT는 두 단계에 걸친 연소 현상이 발생했다. 또한, 심부 연소 과정에서 최대 열방출률이 크게 감소하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 특성은 목재의 연소과정에 있어 연소 확산지연효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 표면단판에 대한 난연처리기술 및 복합재료 적용 최적화 기술을 통해 보다 화재특성이 개선된 CLT 구조체 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

태양전지 모듈은 back sheet, 후면 충진재, 태양전지 cell, 전면 충진재, 전면 보호유리의 구성으로 되어 있다. back sheet는 유리 또는 금속을 사용하는데 사용 재료에 따라 각각 유리봉입방식, 슈퍼스트레이트방식으로 구분된다[1]. 태양전지를 보호하기 위한 충진재는 빛의 투과율 저하가 적은 PVB(Poly Vinyl Butylo)나 내습성이 뛰어난 EVA(Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) 등이 주로 이용된다. 유리봉입방식과 슈퍼스트레이트 방식의 공통점은 모듈 전면에 투과율과 내?충격 강도가 좋은 강화 유리를 사용하는 것이다. 하지만 현재 모듈의 전면 유리는 평탄한 표면 때문에 태양고도가 낮을 때 상대적으로 반사율이 높은 단점을 가지고 있다[2]. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 표면 유리에 요철(anti-glare) 구조를 형성하면 평면 구조의 표면에서 반사되는 태양광이 일부 태양전지 내부로 재입사가 일어나게 되어 표면 반사율이 낮아지게 되고, 이로 인하여 태양전지의 효율이 증가하게 된다. 특히 이러한 효과는 태양고도가 낮아졌을 때 요철(anti-glare) 구조에 의한 반사율의 감소가 증가하기 때문에 평면 구조보다 요철(anti-glare) 구조의 태양전지 모듈 효율이 향상될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 요철(anti-glare) 구조를 만들기 위해서 유리와 평면 구조의 유리에서의 반사율과 투과율을 측정하여 비교 분석하였고, 특히 태양고도의 고도가 변할 때를 비교하기 위하여 반사율 및 투과율을 측정 할 때 입사광의 각도를 변화시켰다. 그리고 태양전지 cell 위에 요철(anti-glare) 구조의 유리와 평명 구조의 유리를 각각 위치시킨 후 태양전지 cell의 효율변화를 확인하였다. 이때 태양전지 cell의 표면은 이방성 식각 용액을 이용하여 역피라미드 구조의 텍스쳐링 태양전지 cell과 평면 구조의 태양전지 cell을 각각 사용하여 비교하였다.

The object of this study is to obtain the optimum mix proportion of halogen free compound with flame resistance and, for the purpose, thermal/electrical characteristics test are conducted using compatibilizing agents, flame resistance agents, hydroxide aluminum, sunscreen, antioxidant and silicon oil on the base resin of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). Existing compound method accompanies many requirements to be satisfied including a lot of addition of flame resistance agents, prohibition of impact on mixing capability with base and property and etc. In this study, different from the existing method, the optimum mix proportion is determined and experimented by adding nano clay. Oxygen index test shows no difference between specimens while T-6, T-9 shows oxygen index of 29[%] and 26[%], respectively. This is concluded that hydroxide aluminum, which is a flame resistance agent, leads low oxygen index. From UL94-V vertical flame resistance test, the combustion behavior is determined as V-0, Fail based on UL94-V decision criteria. Viscometry shows low measurements in specimens with separate addition of compatibilizing agents or nano clay. Volume resistivity test shows low measurement mainly in specimens without compatibilizing agents. Therefore, with the flame resistance compound shows better performance for thermal/electrical property and the optimum mix proportion are achieved among many existing materials.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of coniferous essential oils (EOs) blended films on insect repellence and crop productivity. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film is widely used, especially in agriculture and for food packaging. Ethylene vinyl acetate was blended with LDPE to reduce volatilization of EOs. An EO from Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) was incorporated into the blend film to conduct field research on antimicrobial and insect repellent properties. Among the various concentrations of EO, the highest concentration (2.5%) showed the highest efficiency in terms of pesticidal activity. The ability to inhibit microbial growth can be explained by the lipophilic properties of the EO component, and many studies have already demonstrated this. Agricultural films containing all types of EO have been tested on various crops such as chili, cucumber, Korean melon and have been able to verify their effectiveness in avoiding pests and increasing yields. From these results, it was found that it is reasonable to use a modified film such as a composite film containing an EO for agriculture. Thus, the modified film containing EO has undoubtedly shown impressive potential for reducing the use of pesticides in a variety of ways, not only for agricultural mulching film but also for food and agricultural product packaging. This product is an environmentally friendly chemical and is safe for agricultural and industrial and food packaging applications, among others. In particular, the use of agricultural films significantly reduces the use of pesticides, suggesting that farmers can increase their incomes by reducing working hours and costs, and increasing production.
