For application of carbon nano-tube (CNT) as a counter electrode materials of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), the electrochemical behavior of CNT electrode was studied, employing cyclic-voltammetry (C-V) and impedance spectroscopy. Fabrication of CNT-paste and formation of CNT-counter electrode for characteristic measurement have been carried out using ball-milling and doctor blade process, respectively. Unit cell for measurements was assembled using Pt electrode, CNT electrode, and iodine-embedded electrolyte. Field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used for structural investigation of CNT powder and electrode. Sheet resistance of electrode was measured with 4-point probe method. Electrochemical properties of electrode, C-V and impedance spectrum, were studied, employing potentiogalvanostat (EG&G 273A) and lock in amplifier (EG&G 5210). As a results, the sheet resistance of CNT electrode is almost similar to that of F-doped SnO2 (FTO) coated glass substrate as approximately 10 ohm/sq. From C-V and impedance spectroscopy measurements, it was found that CNT electrode has high reaction rate and low interface reaction resistance between CNT surface and electrolyte. These results provides that CNT electrode were superior to that of conventional Pt electrode. Particularly, the reaction rate in the CNT electrode is about thrice high than Pt electrode. Therefore. CNT electrode is to be good candidate material for counter electrode in DSSC.

Studies on porous oxide electrode, dye and electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells have been intensively carried out until now. However, counter electrode have not been much studied so far. Accordingly, it is needed to investigate new counter electrode materials with superior catalyst property and to substitute for Pt electrode. In this case, carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) are one of alternatives for counter electrodes as following merits: low resistivity, excellent electron emission property, large surface area and low cost due to development of mass production technique. Such advantages gave us to select multiwalled CNTs (MWCNT) as counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cell. Also, cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate electrochemical properties of both CNT electrode and Pt electrode. It was found that sheet resistance of CNT electrode was similar to that of Pt electrode, also, electrochemical properties of CNT electrode was superior to that of Pt electrode on the basis on the measurement of CV and impedance spectrum. It was found that CNT is likely to be a very promising electrode material for dye solar cells.

Metallurgical behavior of laser welded cold rolled low carbon steel was investigated. Welding was performed with CW Nd:YAG laser system. Applied laser power, travel speed and nitrogen blowing pressure were 720W CW, 17mm/s and 196kPa, respectively. According to the test results, many carbide particles were observed on the base metal surface that was polished and etched with nital solution. The carbide particles at the welding heat affected zone were thought to be dissolved during welding process. Microstructural inspection revealed that dissolved carbide particles formed mixed phase of very fine martensite and bainite. Test results also demonstrated that the hardness of matrix remained constant value of around 160Hv over the welding heat affected zone. Dissolved carbide particles, however, showed higher average hardness values of around 276Hv near the fusion boundary and 700Hv at the welding heat affected zone of 0.4mm apart from the fusion line. It was considered that care should be given to minimize the test error when measuring the hardness value since many of the dissolved particles were so small that it was not easy to aim the indentor of the testing machine just on the objects.

비닐용기 등에 주로 사용되는 PET 섬유는 강도는 아주 작은 반면, 변형성능에는 아주 우수하기 때문에 지진 발생시 구조물의 대변형에 효과적으로 저항할 수 있는 보강재료로 사용가능하며, 일본에서는 이미 PET 섬유를 이용한 연구를 진행하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PET(polyethylene terephthalate) 섬유의 횡구속 효과를 파악하고, PET 섬유의 보강효과와 기존에 사용해왔던 탄소섬유시트 및 유리섬유시트의 보강효과를 비교함으로써 PET 섬유의 현장적용성 여부를 파악하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 무근 콘크리트 공시체에 탄소섬유시트와 유리섬유시트 및 PET 섬유 등으로 구분하고 각각에 대해 콘크리트 강도와 보강겹수를 달리하여 실험체 별로 각각 2개씩 동일하게 제작하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 탄소섬유시트 및 유리섬유시트로 보강된 실험체는 기존연구결과들과 마찬가지로 시트가 파단된 후 급격한 내력저하로 최종파괴 되었다. 그러나 PET로 보강한 실험체들은 PET 섬유가 파단되지 않고 최대 강도 이후 급격한 내력저하 없이 서서히 감소되면서 최종파괴 되었다. 또한, 탄소섬유시트 및 유리섬유시트로 보강한 실험체에 비해 강도증진 효과는 크지 않았으나, 연성측면에서는 매우 우수하게 나타나 향후 보강재료로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) transparent conductive film (TCF) was fabricated using a simple inkjet printing method. The TCF could be selectively patterned by controlling the dot size to diameters as small as 34${\mu}m$. In thisrepeatable and scalable process, we achieved 71% film transmittance and a resistance of 900 ohm/sq sheet with an excellent uniformity, about $\pm$5% deviation overall. Inkjet printing of SWNT is substrate friendly and the TCF is printed on a flexible substrate. This method of fabrication using direct printing permits mass production of TCF in a large area process, reducing processing steps and yielding low-cost TCF fabrications on a designated area using simple printing.

In order to study the ductility and the lateral load carrying capacity of the masonry walls strengthened with CFRPs (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer sheets), three pieces of masonry walls subjected to cyclic loads with low frequency and vertical load of constant amplitude have been tested. Two different strengthening methods have been used. The strengthening efficiency is affected by the strengthening method. A simplified calculation approach has been introduced based on the experimental test results, and the theoretical results agree reasonably well with the experimental results. It is found that the critical loads, the critical displacements, the ultimate loads, the ultimate displacements and the ductile coefficients of the masonry walls strengthened with CFRPs improve remarkably (6%~57%). Therefore, the masonry structures strengthened with CFRPs are of better ductility and of better lateral load carrying capacity than the masonry structures without any strengthening measurements.

The principal obstacle to selection of a laser processing method in production is its relatively high equipment cost and the natural unwillingness of production supervision to try something new until it is thoroughly proven. The major objective of this work is focused on the combined features of gas tungsten arc and a low-power cold laser beam. In this work, the laser beam from a 7 watts carbon monoxide laser was combined with electrical discharges from a short-pulsed capacitive discharge GTA welding power supply. When the low power CO laser beam passes through a special composition shielding gas, the CO molecules in the gas absorbs the radiation, and ionizes through a process blown as non-equilibrium, vibration-vibration pumping. The resulting laser-induced plasma(LIP) was positioned between various configurations of electrodes. The high-voltage impulse applied to the electrodes forced rapid electrical breakdown between the electrodes. Electrical discharges between tungsten electrodes and aluminum sheet specimens followed the ionized path provided by LIP. The result was well-focused melted spots.

C/N 비가 낮은 농촌마을 하수의 고도처리를 위하여 $0.4{\mu}m$의 세공크기를 갖고 있는 평막이 침지된 연속회분식 반응기를 사용하였다. 분말활성탄의 투입, 폭기량 및 유입 유기물 농도가 처리효율과 여과 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 54일 이내의 조업 초기에서는 C/N 비가 증가할수록 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거율과 MLSS 농도는 증가하였다. 조업 89일 후의 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거율은 각각 97.1%, 75.0% 및 48.3%이었다. 막여과에 의해 처리수에서 SS는 검출되지 않았으며, T-P의 제거율이 낮게 나온 이유는 과잉의 슬러지를 배출하지 않았기 때문이다. 분말활성탄을 투여한 경우 조업이 진행됨에 따라 분말활성탄의 혼합강도와 충돌빈도가 증가하여 슬러지의 입자크기가 감소하였으며, 이로 인해 분말활성탄을 투여하지 않은 경우에 비해 TMP 상승이 크게 나타났다.

Nd:YAG Laser를 이용하여 polyimide film에 탄화(carbonization)를 진행하여 Carbon을 생성하여 저가의 센서를 간단한 제조과정으로 만들었다. 이를 통하여 유연한 저가형 압저항 센서의 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 기존에 많은 연구들이 Polyimide에 $10.6{\mu}m$의 파장을 가지는 $CO_2$ laser를 이용하여 carbonization을 하여 센서를 제작하였다. 본 논문에서는 polyimide film에 $1.064{\mu}m$의 파장을 가지는Nd:YAG laser를 이용하여 carbonization(탄화공정)을 진행하였다. 또한 Nd:YAG laser를 사용하여 polyimide film위에 직접 탄화시키며 carbon을 생성하는 최적의 전력밀도($W/cm^2$)과 속도(scan rate) 조건 조합을 찾아 해상도를 높였다. $CO_2$ laser를 사용하였던 기존의 선행연구에서는 carbon생성의 최소 선폭이 $140{\sim}220{\mu}m$의 길이를 가졌지만, 본 연구에서는 카본의 생성되는 선폭이 $35{\sim}40{\mu}m$으로 축소시켰다. 이번 연구에서 제작된 센서의 초기 면저항은 $100{\sim}300{\Omega}/{\square}$ 이였다. 곡률 반경 21 R 로 인장을 하였을 때 저항이 30% 줄어들었고, 이를 통하여 계산된 게이지 팩터는 56.6이였다. 본 연구는 압저항 센서를 제조하기 위한 단순하고, 매우 유연하고 저렴한 공정을 제공한다.
