The mechanical properties of barrier ribs in PDP require quantification in order to control the defects and to increase the yield in the process. Several different types of rib materials were tested for hardness (H) and Young's modulus (E) with a microtip indenter (Berkovich type). For the assessment of fracture toughness of the rib, a macro Vikers indenter was used. The materials with 30wt% of filler were fired at between $490^{\circ}C$ and $570^{\circ}C$. As a result, the composite became fully densified at $520^{\circ}C$, which is near the T s (Littleton softening point) of glass frit. As the filler content increased, the fracture toughness also $(K_{IC})$ increased in the range of 0.60 to 2.63 $MPa{\cdot}m^{0.5}$ after sintering at $550^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that the application of a nano-indenter would be useful for testing the mechanical properties of barrier ribs.

Power quality has always been a concern of power engineers. Certainly an argument can be successfully made that most parts of power engineering have the ultimate objective to improve power quality. AC motors were widely used in industrial and domestic applications. Generally, AC motors were of two types: Induction and Synchronous motors. In motor many parameters like different load cycling, switching, working in hot weather and unbalances creates harmonics which creates major reasons for temperature rise of the motors. Due to high peak value of voltage, harmonics can weaken insulation in cables, windings and capacitors and different electronic components. Higher value of harmonics increase the motor current and decrease the power factor which will reduce the life time of the motor and increase the overall rating of all electrical equipments. Harmonics reduction of all the motors in India will save more power. Coating of windings of the motor with nano fillers will reduce the amount of harmonics in the motor. Based on the previous project works, actions were taken to use the enamel filled with various nano fillers for the coating of the windings of the different AC motors. Ball mill method was used to convert the micro particles of Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, ZrO₂ and ZnO into nano particles. SEM, TEM and XRD were used to augment the particle size of the powder. The synthesized nano powders were mixed with the enamel by using ultrasonic vibrator. Then the enamel mixed with the nano fillers was coated to the windings of the several AC motors. Harmonics were measured in terms of various indices like THD, VHD, CHD and DIN by using Harmonic analyzer. There are many other measures and indices to describe power quality, but none is applicable in all cases and in many instances, these indices may hide more than they show. Sometimes power quality indices were used as a basis of comparison and standardization. The efficiency of the motors was increased by 5 – 10 %. The thermal withstanding capacity of the motor was increased by 5º to 15º C. The harmonics of the motors were reduced by 10 – 50%.

In this study, micro cellular injection molding of automobile head lamp housing with uneven thickness structure was performed to obtain improvement on deformation and light-weight of the part. The thickness of the presented model was uniformly modified to control the deformation of the molded part. In order to maximize the lightweight ratio, the model having an average thickness of 2.0 mm were thinly molded to an average thickness of 1.6 mm. GFM(Gas Free Molding) and CBM(Core Back Molding) technology were applied to improve the problems of the conventional foam molding method. Equal Heat & Cool system was also applied by 3D cooling core and individual flow control system. Warpage of the molded parts with even cooling was minimized. To improve the mechanical properties of foamed products, complex resin containing nano-filler was used and variation of mechanical properties was evaluated. It was shown that the weight reduction ratio of products with light-weighted injection molding was 8.9 % and the deformation of the products was improved from the maximum of 3.6 mm to 2.0 mm by applying Equal Heat & Cool mold cooling system. Also the mechanical strength reduction of foamed product was less than 12% at maximum.

활석은 T-O-T 구조의 함수 마그네슘 층상규산염 광물로서, 화학적 안정성과 흡착성 등의 특성을 가지고 있어 다양한 산업분야에서 첨가제, 코팅제 등으로 활용되어 왔다. 최근 나노 복합체의 안정성 향상을 위한 첨가제로서 활석 나노입자가 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고에너지 볼 밀을 이용하여 기계적인 방법으로 활석 나노입자를 형성하고, 분쇄시간에 따른 입자크기 및 결정도의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. X-선 회절 분석 결과, 분쇄가 진행됨에 따라 활석의 피크 폭이 점진적으로 증가하여 720분 분쇄 후, 활석은 비정질에 가까운 X-선 회절패턴을 보여준다. 레이저회절 입도 분석 결과, 약 $12{\mu}m$이었던 활석의 입도는 분쇄가 진행됨에 따라 약 $0.45{\mu}m$까지 감소하였으나, 120분 이상 분쇄를 진행하여도 뚜렷한 입도의 감소가 관찰되지 않았다. 반면, BET 비표면적은 분쇄 720분까지 꾸준히 증가하여, 분쇄에 따른 입도 또는 형태의 변화가 지속적으로 일어남을 지시한다. 주사전자현미경 및 투과전자현미경 관찰 결과, 720분 분쇄 후 약 100~300 nm 내외의 층상형 입자들이 마이크로 스케일의 응집체로 존재함을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 분쇄시간이 증가함에 따라 활석의 입자크기 및 형태는 지속적으로 변화하지만, 나노입자의 특성상 재응집이 일어나 마이크로 크기의 응집체를 형성하고 있음을 지시한다. 또한 활석의 분쇄에서 판의 크기, 즉 a축, b축 방향의 길이는 감소 한계가 존재하며, 분쇄가 진행될수록 판의 두께, 즉 c축 방향의 길이 감소가 주된 분쇄 메커니즘으로 생각된다. 본 연구의 결과는 나노 활석의 형성 메커니즘에 대한 이해를 고양할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
