Epoxy resins are widely used as high performance thermosets in many industrial applications, such as coatings, adhesives and composites. Recently, a lot of research has been carried out in order to improve their mechanical properties and thermal stability in various fields. Carbon nanotubes possess high physical and mechanical properties that are considered to be ideal reinforcing materials in composites. CNT-reinforced epoxy system hold the promise of delivering superior composite materials with their high strength, light weight and multi functional features. Therefore, this study used multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) and gamma rays to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy. The diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) as epoxy resins were cured by gamma ray irradiation with well-dispersed MWNTs as a reinforcing agent and triarylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate (TASHFA) as an initiator. The flexural modulus was measured by UTM (universal testing machine). At this point, the flexural modulus factor exhibits an upper limit at 0.1 wt% MWNT. The thermal properties had improved by increasing the content of MWNT in the result of TGA (thermogravimetric analysis). However, they were decreased with increasing the radiation dose. The change of glass transition temperature by the radiation dose was characterized by DMA (dynamic mechanical analysis).

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers are the most widely used precursor of the materials for carbon fibers. The conventional process of carbon fibers from PAN precursor fiber includes two step; stabilization at low temperature and carbonization at high temperature. Compared to thermal stabilization, the stabilization process by electron beam (E-beam) irradiation is a advanced and brief method. However, a stabilization by E-beam irradiation was required a high dose (over 5,000 kGy) and spend over 1.5 hr (1.14 MeV, 1 mA). In the present work the main goal is exploring a quick stabilization process by cotrolling E-beam currents. The effect of various E-beam currents on stabilization of PAN precursor fiber was studied by gel fraction test, thermo gravimertic analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile strength, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images.

This study observed downward long and short-wave radiant environment with selecting 4 areas which have different height in downtown and 1 suburban area to figure out the characteristic of radiant environment in each altitude. The purpose of this study is to collect the preliminary data for interpreting urban thermal environment in summer season by analyzing thermal characteristic of atmosphere in the upper of downtown. The results of this study are as follows. 1) The higher altitude has the lower temperature, and temperature difference was more huge in day time than night time. 2) The short wave radiation according to altitude was higher as altitude was high. 3) Generally, the higher altitude has the lower air temperature, and also the higher altitude has the lower downward long wave radiation by the atmospheric radiation. 4) The ratio short wave radiation of long wave radiation was lower as altitude was high. And the urbanization effect was higher as the ratio was low.

For a man's approaching limitation in radiation environment, all work must be performed with remoted system to ensure worker's safety and reliability from radiation damage. The remoted system is mostly used in visual observation CCTV system. In high radiation environment of unclear power plant, RI(Radio-isotope) facility, medical radiation treatment facility must be used to radiation tolerant CCTV cameras for radiation damage. We have studied a radiation basic performance of camera components and CCTV cameras to develop radiation tolerant CCTV cameras. As a result, we are able to design a radiation tolerant camera of 108 rad total dose.

The high efficiency moderated-type neutron spectrometer and doseequivalent counter were developed for the measurement of low level environmental neutrons. By using these detectors, the neutron energy spectra and dose equivalent rates due to skyshine effect were measured in the environment surrounding the accelerator facilities and also the altitude variation of cosmic ray neutrons in the aircraft flying over Japan.

Recently, buildings with transparent glazing on exterior walls have increased. The transparent glazing on exterior walls gives an impression of opening through introducing external environment's elements to inside of the building, and has various merits and so on, but has defects in controling indoor environments. Especially, the excess of solar radiation in summer increases cooling load causing discomforts to occupants providing radiant environment with high temperature. Cooling load mainly depends on electricity comparing to heating load and intents to centralize specific time. So it is necessary to work out a countermeasure. In this study, showed P building with transparent glazing on exterior walls as a case, investigated indoor thermal performance, numerical analysis of P building in summer through comparing dry-sauna which is represented as radiant environment with high temperature. In the results of this study, transparent glazing space has radiant environment with high temperature such as dry-sauna because of the excess of solar radiation. Accordingly countermeasures are considered in building planning. As concrete methods, there are adiabatic effects using double glazing, use of sunscreen, blind, ventilation facilitation using natural draft, decrease of surface temperature through evaporation cooling and cooling coils.

Metronidazole (MD), which is used as an antibiotic, is largely used as an oral and skin application agent, and has inhibiting effect on the production of the fungus causing malodor. However, the maximum drug inclusion concentration is 0.75% of skin ointment in commercially available. In this study, hydrogels containing high concentration of metronidazole were prepared by using radiation crosslinking technique based on biocompatible polymers, and release characteristics and antimicrobial properties were evaluated. This study was preliminary carried out to investigate whether it could be used effectively as antibacterial dressing materials.

차세대도시농림융합기상사업단의 에너지수지타워 관측자료를 이용하여 수도권 기상과 복사특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 서울 수도권에 위치한 총 14개 에너지수지타워의 기온, 풍속, 상대습도, 지표면 온도, 강수량, 단파 및 장파 복사량과 복사관측자료를 이용하여 산출한 알베도와 방출률을 분석하였다. 월별 자료에 따르면, 도시에 위치한 중랑지점에서 알베도는 낮고 방출률은 높은 특성을 나타냈고 교외지역인 부천지점에서는 반대의 특성이 나타났다. 자연적인 지표상태에서는 태양복사에너지를 효과적으로 반사하여 대부분 중랑지점보다 알베도가 높게 나타났다. 연 평균 기온이 비교적 높게 나타난 지점들은 서울 도심에 위치하고 있었으며, 알베도가 대체적으로 낮게 분포되었다. 가좌지점과 뚝섬지점은 관측 기온이 높았지만, 관측소 주변 유리벽 건물 및 한강으로 둘러싸인 환경으로 알베도가 비교적 높게 나타났다. 교외지역에 위치하고, 기온이 낮았던 지점들은 대체로 낮은 방출률을 나타냈다. 그 중 부천지점에서는 다소 높은 방출률이 나타났는데, 이는 관측지점 주변이 논과 밭으로 구성되어 있어 교외지역의 관측지점보다 지표면 온도가 상대적으로 낮게 관측되었기 때문이다. 결과적으로 도심지일수록 알베도는 감소하고, 방출률은 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있다. 또한, 서울 지역의 순 복사량이 $100Wm^{-2}$ 이하로 나타나 에너지가 대기 중에 흡수된 것으로 볼 수 있다.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are considered suitable candidates for structural materials of spacecrafts due to their excellent properties of high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. An online health monitoring method for FRP composites must be applied to space structures. However, the application of existing health monitoring methods to space structures is limited due to the harsh space environment. Here, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites embedded with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were prepared to explore the feasibility of strain monitoring using embedded FBG sensors in γ-radiation environment. The analysis of the influence of radiation on the strain monitoring demonstrated that the embedded FBG can be successfully applied to the health monitoring of FRP composites in radiation environment.
