회암사지에서 출토된 3점의 금탁에 대한 성분조성과 미세조직을 분석하여 조선초기 금탁(琴鐸)을 제작하기 위한 주조방법과 가공처리 기술에 대해 살펴보았다. 분석결과 구리, 주석, 납을 주성분으로 하며, 그 비율은 평균 85 : 8 : 7로 나타났다. 주성분인 구리, 주석, 납을 제외한 10개의 원소가 0.3% 이하의 적은 양으로 검출되어 비교적 잘 정련된 구리소재가 사용되었음을 알 수 있다. 또한 검출된 10개의 미량 원소 중 황과 철은 공급된 구리소재의 원광석으로 황동광이나 휘동광 등 황이 포함된 광석일 가능성을 보여준다. 주조방법으로 사형주조법이 적용되었으며, 방법은 먼저 주물사로 틀을 만들고, 여기에 거푸집을 종 모양대로 세워놓고 구리-주석-납을 용해시킨 청동 주물을 정수리에서 하륜부 방향으로 부어 본체를 만들었다. 형태가 완성된 뒤에는 표면 가공을 위한 추가적인 열처리 없이 가질 작업을 통해 표면을 정리하였다. 모든 가공처리 공정이 마무리된 뒤에는 정수리 부분에 풍판을 연결시키기 위해 철제 연결고리를 끼우고, 그 부분에만 용해된 청동 주물을 부어 고정시켰다. 금탁의 표면에 음각된 명문의 새김법은 축조각과 모조각 기법이 각각 다르게 사용되었고, 획순과 서체에서 차이가 나는 점에 비추어 명문 조각에는 다수의 장인이 동원된 것으로 보인다. 청동기 제작기술의 변천과정을 입증할 만한 사료나 이와 관련된 연구 성과물이 매우 부족한 현 실정에서 제작 연대와 제작 주체가 명확한 금탁에 대한 과학적인 조사연구는 향후 청동기 제작기술 체계의 전반적인 흐름을 이해하는 데 있어서 중요한 자료이다.

A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.

Global warming and climate change have been caused by combustion of fossil fuels. The greenhouse gases contributed to the rise of temperature between $0.6^{\circ}C$ and $0.9^{\circ}C$ over the past century. Presently, fossil fuels account for about 88% of the commercial energy sources used. In developing countries, fossil fuels are a very attractive energy source because they are available and relatively inexpensive. The environmental problems with fossil fuels have been aggravating stress from already existing factors including acid deposition, urban air pollution, and climate change. In order to control greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2, fossil fuels must be replaced by eco-friendly fuels such as biomass. The use of renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly necessary. The biomass resources are the most common form of renewable energy. The conversion of biomass into energy can be achieved in a number of ways. The most common form of converted biomass is pellet fuels as biofuels made from compressed organic matter or biomass. Pellets from lignocellulosic biomass has compared to conventional fuels with a relatively low bulk and energy density and a low degree of homogeneity. Thermal pretreatment technology like torrefaction is applied to improve fuel efficiency of lignocellulosic biomass, i.e., less moisture and oxygen in the product, preferrable grinding properties, storage properties, etc.. During torrefacton, lignocelluosic biomass such as palm kernell shell (PKS) and empty fruit bunch (EFB) was roasted under an oxygen-depleted enviroment at temperature between 200 and $300^{\circ}C$. Low degree of thermal treatment led to the removal of moisture and low molecular volatile matters with low O/C and H/C elemental ratios. The mechanical characteristics of torrefied biomass have also been altered to a brittle and partly hydrophobic materials. Unfortunately, it was much harder to form pellets from torrefied PKS and EFB due to thermal degradation of lignin as a natural binder during torrefaction compared to non-torrefied ones. For easy pelletization of biomass with torrefaction, pellets from PKS and EFB were manufactured before torrefaction, and thereafter they were torrefied at different temperature. Even after torrefaction of pellets from PKS and EFB, their appearance was well preserved with better fuel efficiency than non-torrefied ones. The physical properties of the torrefied pellets largely depended on the torrefaction condition such as reaction time and reaction temperature. Temperature over $250^{\circ}C$ during torrefaction gave a significant impact on the fuel properties of the pellets. In particular, torrefied EFB pellets displayed much faster development of the fuel properties than did torrefied PKS pellets. During torrefaction, extensive carbonization with the increase of fixed carbons, the behavior of thermal degradation of torrefied biomass became significantly different according to the increase of torrefaction temperature. In conclusion, pelletization of PKS and EFB before torrefaction made it much easier to proceed with torrefaction of pellets from PKS and EFB, leading to excellent eco-friendly fuels.

나노급 다이아몬드는 최근 폭발법이나 증착법에 의한 신공정으로 100 nm 이하의 분말형태의 제조가 가능하다. 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결을 이용하면 이상적인 연마기기의 제작이 가능하다. 이러한 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결 공정에서 생기는 비이상적인 나노결정의 결정립성장과 다이아몬드 결합장애를 방지하기 위해서 나노급 무기물을 균일하게 코팅하는 공정개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결 특성을 향상시키기 위해서 ALD(atomic layer deposition)을 이용하여 진공에서 $20{\sim}30\;nm$ 두께의 ZnO 박막을 코팅해 보았다. 나노급 다이아몬드 분말 전면에 경제적으로 ZnO ALD를 위해서 기존의 기계적 진동효과 또는 전용 fluidized bed reactor를 대치하여 새로이 20 mm 석영튜브 안에 다이아몬드 분말을 넣고 다공성 유리필터로 막은 후 펄스와 퍼지 공정시의 압력에 의한 다이아몬드의 부유를 이용한 변형된 fluidized bed 공정을 채용하였다. 다공성 유리필터로 양쪽이 막힌 석영튜브 안에 전구체 DEZn (diethylzinc : $C_4H_{10}Zn$)와 반응기체 $H_2O$를 사용하여 ZnO 박막을 캐니스터 온도 $10^{\circ}C$에서 원자층증착하였다. 공정 순서 및 반응물질 주입 시간은 DEZn pulse-0.1초, DEZn purge-20초, $H_2O$ pulse-0.1초, $H_2O$ purge-40초와 같이 설정하였으며, 이 네 단계를 1 cycle로 정의하여 100 cycle 반복 실시하였다. 다이아몬드 분말과 ZnO 박막이 증착된 다이아몬드 분말의 미세구조를 확인하기 위하여 투과전자현미경 (transmission electron microscope)을 이용하였다. TEM 측정결과, ALD 증착 전 나노급 다이아몬드 분말의 직경이 약 $70{\sim}120\;nm$이었고 사면체, 육면체 등의 다양한 형태를 보임을 확인하였다. ZnO 박막이 ALD코팅된 다이아몬드 분말의 직경은 약 $90{\sim}150\;nm$이었고, 다이아몬드 분말과 ZnO의 명암차이에 의해 약 $20{\sim}30\;nm$ 두께의 균일한 ZnO 박막이 다각형 형태의 다이아몬드 파우더 표면에 성공적으로 증착되었음을 확인하였다.
