In the present study, the possibility of Mg-Zn-Y alloys as high temperature casting alloys has been investigated. The fluidity of alloys containing yttrium were better than that of commercial AZ91 alloy because the oxide layer on the surface reduced the reaction between melt, and air and mold, which would reduce the resistance during the process of filling the mold. However, this oxide film reduced the hot-tearing resistance. In the case of ZAW942, this alloy exhibited fluidity and hot-tearing resistance better than AZ91 alloy. Because of thermally stable quasicrystal and other phases obstructed the movement of grains, the creep resistance of alloys containing rare earth elements more than 2 wt% was better than that of AZ91 alloy.

To develop Gastrodia elata (GE)-loaded particles for herbal extract dosage forms, various GE-loaded particles containing dextrin, isomalt, maltodextrin, and silicon dioxide as solidifying carriers in the GE water extract are prepared using the spray drying method. Their physical properties are evaluated using the repose angle, Hausner ratio, Carr's index, weight increase rate at 40℃/75% RH condition, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Particles made of dextrin improve the fluidity, compressibility, and water stability. In addition, 2% silicon dioxide increases the fluidity and moisture stability. The best flowability and compressibility of GE-loaded particles are observed with TP, dextrin, and silicon dioxide amounts in the ratio of 6/4/0.2 (34.29 ± 2.86°, 1.48 ± 0.03, and 38.29 ± 2.39%, repose angle, Hausner Ratio, and Carr's index, respectively) and moisture stability with a 2% weight increase rate for 14 h at 40℃/75% RH condition. Therefore, our results suggest that the particles prepared by the spray drying method with dextrin and 2% silicon dioxide can be used as powerful particles to improve the flowability, compressibility, and moisture stability of GE.

To understand the effects of the fraction from Chrysanthemum coronarium L. (CC), we prepared five different types of samples, denoted here as CCMM, CCMH, CCMEA, CCMB and CCMA. We studied the effects of these samples on the phase transition of liposomal membranes by high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (nano-DSC). We used dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers which make most stable liposomes among the other phosphatidylcholines. When the samples were added to the bilayers, the phase transition temperatures of DPPC liposomes incorporated with CCMH and CCMEA were decreased by 1.5 and 2^{\circ}C$, while the other three fractions showed less tendencies. The CCMH and CCMEA fractions markedly affected the thermotropic properties of DPPC liposomes, broadened and shifted the thermograms of DSC. It also significantly reduced the size of cooperative unit of the transition. In all cases, there was no change in enthalpy of transition within the concentration range of the CC fractions studied. We concluded that the incorporation of the CCMH and CCMEA into DPPC liposomes was preferentially located in the hydrophobic core of DPPC bilayers compared to the other three fractions CCMM, CCMB and CCMA. These results suggest that certain substances in CCMH and CCMEA fractions might have biologically significant effects on the fluidity of biological membrane.

As the aggregate supply and demand shortages in Korea due to the lack of aggregates due to the regulation of production and use conditions of domestic aggregate collectors, the media recently pointed out the distribution of so-called bad aggregates containing soil powder. Such poor aggregates have a high self-absorption rate according to the reference, etc., leading to a decrease in the fluidity of the concrete. Therefore, in order to secure fluidity, the unit quantity increases greatly from $30kg/m^3$ to $55kg/m^3$, and the increased unit yield eventually leads to a decrease in compressive strength, resulting in a decrease in strength from about 35% to 45% compared to general aggregates. It indicates that there is a risk of shortening the life of the structure. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of aggregate soil on concrete.

In this study, the rheological properties of cement pastes containing blastfurnace slag of different fineness were investigated. The fluidity of cement pastes with low Blaine value blastfurnace slag was increased with decreasing the plastic viscosity and the yield stress of pastes. And the optimum dosage of polycarboxylate type superplasticizer to the cement pastes was confirmed according to the fineness and the replacement ratio of blastfurnace slag. All cement pastes showed the thixotropy behavior. And also it was formed that the segregation range of cement pastes was occurred below $10D/cm^2$ of the yield stress and below 350 cPs of the plastic viscosity by the coaxial cylinder viscometer.

This study examined the effects of comparatively widely used fine aggregates in the domestic construction fields on the quality of concrete through the analysis of the effects of such fine aggregates on the physical properties of fresh concrete and strength of hardened concrete. Results revealed that crushed sand degrades the fluidity and air entraining of concrete compared to natural aggregates like sea sand and river sand. Especially, the use of crushed sand exhibiting low grain shape and grade was seen to have larger adverse effect on the physical properties of concrete.

This study investigated influence of kind of fine aggregate on fundamental properties of concrete. For the properties of fluidity with various type of fine aggregate, lime stone crushed fine aggregate(Ls) exhibited favorable result, due to grain shape and particle distribution, and next was granite crushed fine aggregate(Gs), natural fine aggregate(Ns). Ns had the highest value of air content while Ls had the lowest, due to the effective filling performance by continuos particle distribution. Ls, Ns, Gs in an order had higher bleeding capacity and faster setting time. However, compressive and tensile strength value exhibited similar tendency, regardless of aggregate type.

This study is intended to investigate application of mica waste(MS) to fine aggregate for mortar by comparing it with cement mortar in which crushed sand(CS) and river sand(NS) are used. According to the results, as the physical properties of aggregate, specific gravity is large in order of MS, NS and CS, absorption ratio in order of MS, CS and NS, and unit weight and solid volume percentage in order of NS, CS and MS. In the case of MS mortar, mechanical properties, drying shrinkage and heat conduction ratio are reduced, but the radiative amount of infrared light is excellent compared with NS mortar. Fluidity and unit weight of MS mortar is larger than those of CS mortar, and strength does not make differences. Length change by drying shrinkage is larger, but heat conduction ratio and radiative amount of infrared light are smaller than CS mortar. Thus, it proves that MS can be used in place of NS and CS, but its quality is deteriorated slightly.

The phenyl modified silicone polymer, 1,1-diphenyl-1-methyl-7-hydroxydodecamethylheptasiloxysilane, was synthesized to prepare the silicone polymer with good cold-proof and heart-proof properties. From the TGA analysis in the range of $100{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, the phenyl modified silicone polymer had good thermal properties than polydimethylsiloxane. And furthermore fluidity was maintained even below $0^{\circ}C$. Also, the silicone rubber blended with the phenyl modified silicone polymer had better mechanical properties than the silicone rubber.

This study investigated influence of organic fiber type and contents on engineering properties of concrete. Test showed that increase of fiber contents decreased fluidity of fresh concrete and it was even worse in concrete adding cellulose fiber. It is decided that concrete containing more than proper level of fiber should be considered. In addition, concrete adding more fiber, nylon and cellulose, resulted in increase of air content but it was satisfied in aimed value. Bleeding capacity of concrete containing more fiber significantly declined and setting time of that was also slightly retarded. For the properties of strength, both compressive and tensile strength of fiber containing concrete were indicated at similar value to control concrete. However, it is clear that if those concrete containing fiber revised the value of increased air contents at fresh state, the strength value of that would be slightly increased.
