The ability to absorb liquid and the dust removal performance are important factors for wiping cloths used to remove contaminants. We have developed a method that can determine the contaminant removal performance of wiping cloths. In the gravimetric method, experimental errors are unavoidable because the contaminant plate is much heavier than the contaminant material. However, we used image analysis to reduce the experimental errors, and did not use the heavy contaminant plate. The correlation coefficient between the image. analysis and the gravimetric methods was very high, at R=0.97, with a significance level of 95%. From the correlation analysis and empirical data, the image analysis method is a useful tool for measuring wiping efficiency. The wiping efficiency measured using image analysis has a close relationship to the wiping speed, viscosity of the contaminant, and wiping pressure, at the significance level of 95%.

Hot stage microscopy (HSM) is a thermal analysis technique that combines the best properties of thermal analysis and microscopy. HSM is rapidly gaining interest in pharmaceuticals as well as in other fields as a regular characterization technique. In pharmaceuticals HSM is used to support differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) observations and to detect small changes in the sample that may be missed by DSC and TGA during a thermal experiment. Study of various physical and chemical properties such sample morphology, crystalline nature, polymorphism, desolvation, miscibility, melting, solid state transitions and incompatibility between various pharmaceutical compounds can be carried out using HSM. HSM is also widely used to screen cocrystals, excipients and polymers for solid dispersions. With the advancements in research methodologies, it is now possible to use HSM in conjunction with other characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), DSC, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which may have additional benefits over traditional characterization techniques for rapid and comprehensive solid state characterization.

본 연구에서는 산업체에서 대체 세정제를 객관적이고 체계적으로 선정하는데 도움을 주고자 여러 가지 세정성 평가방법을 실험을 통하여 비교 평가하였다. 세정성 평가방법으로는 중량법, OSEE (optically simulated electron emission)법, 접촉각법과 FTIR, UV-VIS, HPLC와 같은 정밀분석기기를 이용한 분석법을 사용하여 flux, solder, grease 등의 오염물질에 대한 세정성 평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과 중량법은 쉽고 간단하게 세정제의 세정효율을 측정할 수 있었지만 중량측정의 한계로 정밀측정이 어려웠다. 반면에 OSEE법은 세정제의 세정성 평가를 빠르고 정밀하게 수행할 수 있었다. 접촉각 측정법은 피세정물 표면에 오염물질과 세정제에 의한 얇은 친유성 막의 형성으로 인하여 접촉각 변화에 영향을 주기 때문에 세정성 평가에 특별한 주의가 요구되었다. 중량법으로 수행하기 어려운 정밀세정성 평가의 경우 UV-VIS, FTIR, HPLC와 같은 정밀분석기기를 이용하여 피세정물에 잔류한 flux, solder, grease 등의 극미량의 오염물을 특수 용제로 추출하여 아주 작은 농도의 오염물을 정량분석할 수 있었다.

Light Oil Flow Standard System(LOFSS) in Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science(KRISS) was designed for oil flowmeter calibration. In order to extend the flow range from 120 $m^3/h$ to 200 $m^3/h$, the build-up technique was applied with two positive displacement flowmeters as master flowmeter. The master flowmeters were calibrated against with LOFSS, which has 0.04 % uncertainty of flow quantity determination, then the test flowmeter is calibrated against two master flowmeters. For uncertainty analysis, the repeatability of master flowmeters, the variation of the fluid density and the pipe volume due to temperature change were scrutinized. The contribution of each uncertainty factors to the calibrator and the correlation of each factors were discussed. For investigating the feasibility of uncertainty analysis, a turbine flowmeter as a transfer package was tested with LOFSS and two reference flowmeter. The hypothesis test for both results was coincide with a 95 % significant level. This means that the uncertainty analysis procedure of the calibrator is reasonable and the extension of flow range with master meters was carry out successfully.

환경 중에는 핵실험 및 원자력 발전소에서 방출되는 여러 가지 방사성 핵종들과 천연방사성 핵종들이 존재한다. 이 중에서 원자력발전소 운영과 관련하여, 환경 중의 인공방사성 핵종에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 핵실험이나 원자력발전소와 관련된 인공방사선 핵종들은 주로 핵분열 생성물들로서, 그 수가 200여종에 이른다. 이 중에서도 $^{90}Sr$과 $^{137}Cs$은 선량특성상 특히 주목되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 환경준위의 $^{90}Sr$ 정량 분석 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 환경 중의 $^{90}Sr$은 저준위이며, 특성 감마선과는 달리 연속 스팩트럼의 베타선원으로, $^{89}Sr$, $^{90}Y$ 및 다른 방사성 핵종들과 혼합되어 있기 때문에 정량적인 분석이 매우 어렵다. 저준위 방사성 스트론튬 분석을 위해서는 농축 과정 및 분석에 영향을 주는 타 방사성 핵종과의 화학적 분리과정이 필요하다. 그 동안 국내 여러 기관에서 공통적으로 스트론튬 회수율 산정을 위해 중량법을 사용하였고, 화학분리절차도 중량법을 사용하기에 적합하도록 개발하여 사용하였다. 최근 분석기기의 발달로 인해서, ppm 이나 ppb 단위의 안정원소 분석을 쉽게 할 수 있다는 점에 근거하여, 원자분광분석기기(ICP : Inductively Coupled atomic Plasma emission spectrophotometer)를 사용한 회수율 산정 및 그에 적합한 절차를 개발하였다. 개발된 절차는 기존의 중량법에 비해서 화학적 처리절차가 훨씬 간편하면서도 정확도가 높아서, 환경방사성 스트론튬의 정량분석에 적절히 사용될 수 있다.

Polyurethane (PU) nanofibers containing graphene oxide (GO) and Ag doped functionalized reduced graphene oxide (Ag-RGO) were successfully prepared via the electrospinning technique. The uniform distribution of GO sheets along with Ag nanoparticle in the nanofibers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and the elemental mapping technique. X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis verified the presence of GO and Ag in the bicomposite nanofibrous mats. Antibacterial tests against Escherichia coli demonstrated that the addition of GO and Ag-RGO to the PU nanofiber greatly enhanced bactericidal efficiency. Overall, these features of the synthesized nanofibers make them a promising candidate material in the biomedical field for applications such as tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery systems.

Well defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers of poly(styrene-b-vinylbenzylphosphonic acid) (PS-b-PVBPA) were prepared by controlled radical polymerization technique, two-step hydrolysis reactions using trime-thylsilyl bromide from the corresponding phosphonic ethyl ester. By indirect, backward pH titration of the block copolymer, a good titration curve of a dibasic acid was observed. The IEC values obtained from both backward pH titration and volumetric back titration were almost identical. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) of the phosphonic acid containing block copolymer showed a high thermal stability up to $400^{\circ}C$.

인공뼈의 잠재적인 재료로서 주목을 받는 hydroxyapatite(HA)와 Poly(L-lactide)(PLLA) 복합체의 물성을 개선하기 위하여 HA에 D-lactide(DLA)를 표면 그래프트(g-HA)하여 PLLA 사이의 스테레오 콤프렉스 형성을 도입하였다. 복합체 필름은 건조단계에서 HA의 침전을 최소화하기 위하여 용매-비용매법으로 제조하였다. 복합체의 구조와 물성은 thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA), differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscopy 및 mechanical property 측정으로 확인하였다. TGA분석으로부터 HA에 대한 DLA의 표면 그래프트율은 6 wt%였고 HA에 비하여 유기용매에 대한 분산성이 증가하였다. 복합체의 스테레오 콤프렉스 형성은 용융온도의 변화로써 확인하고 HA/PLLA 복합체에 비하여 우수한 기계적 물성을 나타내었다.

In this work, we describe a novel and simple technique to produce non-hydrate surfactant complexes for the formation of highly crystalline fatty acid modified SPIONs by thermolysis of iron oleate (FeOl) complexes in a non-coordinating solvent. FeOl complexes were prepared by direct coordination of iron ions and carboxylic acid; thus, we could control the stoichiometric composition of the precursor by changing the molar ratio of fatty acid and metal ions. The discrete thermal behaviors and chemical coordination of the intermediate non-hydrated FeOl were studied by thermo-analytic techniques including differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Exhausting oil resources and increasing pollution around the world are forcing researchers to look for new, renewable, biodegradable materials to lead sustainable development. The use of fiber reinforced composites based on natural fibres has increasingly begun as prospective materials for various engineering applications in the automotive, rail, construction and aerospace industries. The natural fiber chosen to make the composite material is plant-based fibre, e.g. jute fibre, and hemp fibre. Thermosetting polymer based Epoxy (LY556) was utilized as matrix material and The composites were produced using hand lay-up technique. The fabricated composites were tested for acoustic testing, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and flammability testing to asses sound absorption, thermal decomposition and fire resistivity of the structures. Hemp fibre composites have shown improved thermal stability over Jute fibre composites. However, the fire resistance characteristics of jute fibre composites are better as compared to hemp fibre composites. The sound absorption coefficient of composites was found to enhance with the increase of frequency.
