In this study, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP)-based gel polymer electrolyte incorporating nano-size $Al_2O_3$ ceramic particle was prepared by electrospinning. The gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) incorporated with $Al_2O_3$ ceramic particle showed higher ionic conductivity of $9.5{\times}10^{-2}Scm^{-1}$ than pure PVdF-HFP GPE without ceramic particle and improved the electrochemical stability up to 5.2 V. The GPEs were assembled with $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ (NMC) cathode for electrochemical test. The GPE batteries at 0.1 C-rate delivered $168.2mAh\;g^{-1}$ for pure GPE and $189.6mAh\;g^{-1}$ for hybrid GPE, respectively. Therefore, the incorporation of high dielectric constant ceramic particle will be good strategy to enhance the stability and electrochemical properties of lithium ion gel polymer batteries.

Thick film $H_2$ sensors were fabricated using $SnO_2$ loaded with $Ag_2O$ and $PtO_x$. The composition that gave the highest sensitivity for $H_2$ was in the weight% ratio of $SnO_2 : PtO_x : Ag_2O$ as 93 : 1 : 6. The nano-crystalline powders of $SnO_2$ synthesized by sol-gel method were screen printed with $Ag_2O$ and $PtO_x$ on alumina substrates. The fabricated sensors were tested against gases like $H_2$, $CH_4$, $C_3H_8$, $C_2H_5OH$ and $SO_2$. The composite material was found sensitive against $H_2$ at the working temperature $130^{\circ}C$, with minor interference of other gases. The $H_2$ gas as low as 100 ppm can be detected by the present fabricated sensors. It was found that the sensors based on $SnO_2-Ag_2O-PtO_x$ system exhibited the high performance, high selectivity and very short response time to $H_2$ at ppm level. These characteristics make the sensor to be a promising candidate for detecting low concentrations of $H_2$.

PVD(Physical Vapour Deposition)코팅은 70년대 미국의 Multi-arc이란 기업에 의해 질화물계나 탄화물계 피막 증착이 가능한 아크이온플레팅(Arc Ion Plating) 기술이 산업에 소개되어, 주로 내마모나 내구성을 요구하는 금형, 절삭공구, 산업용 부품 분야 등에 적용되면서 꾸준한 성장세를 거듭해 왔다. 최근 들어 PVD기술은 그 수요의 급증과 더불어 보다 진화된 형태의 코팅장치 및 코팅피막들이 산업에 소개 되고 있다. 먼저 절삭가공분야에는 new composition, nano composite, multi-element composition, multi-layer, SML(Self Modification Layer)등의 코팅피막들이 단독 또는 조합된 형태로 개발되어 철계 소재를 대상으로 고경도 소재의 고속가공, 저경도~중경도 소재의 중속~고속 광범위영역에서 동시 절삭을 가능케 하였고, 비철.비금속 소재 절삭용으로 종전의 가스방식의 DLC(a-C:H)코팅을 훨씬 능가하는 ta-C Plus(Ultra super DLC) 코팅이 개발되어 고 Si함량의 Al-Si계 합금, Cu-W계, 고 섬유 CFRP, CFRM 및 반소결 상태의 세라믹 소재들을 황삭에서 정삭까지 단일 공정으로 절삭이 가능한 고성능 공구들이 개발보급되고 있다. 금속 성형분야에는 고장력 강판을 냉간에서 성형 가능한 Lubricative multi-layer coating, 열간 또는 고온에서 성형이 가능한 functional multi layer과 이형성이 더한층 개선된 dimpled(or embossed) functional multi layer 코팅들이 개발되어 산업현장에 빠르게 확산되고 있다. PVD 코팅의 또 다른 주요 적용분야로 의료분야를 들 수 있는데, 이는 코팅의 대다수가 고경도의 생체친화적인 특성을 가진데 착안되었으며, 흔히 현대성 질환이라 일컫는 과민성 체질, 과체중 및 허약체질 환자의 증가와 각종 재해 및 사고의 증가 및 인간 수명 증가에 따른 인공적인 시술의 요구증가에 편승하여 이 분야의 시장 또한 가파르게 성장하고 있다. 또한 대량으로 양산 적용단계에 접어든 자동차 핵심부품들을 비롯해서 각종 산업용, 방산용 기계 부품에도 성능 향상, 내구성 향상, 환경친화성 등 다양한 목적으로 확대 적용되고 있는 사례들을 본 발표를 통해 간략하게나마 소개하고자 한다.

The primary objective of this study is to increase the extent of water flux and fouling resistance of nano-filtration or reverse osmosis membranes. This study was performed to investigate the effect of surface characteristics of silane coated membranes on modified fouling index. Commercial polyamide composite RO membrane (RE1812-LP) and NF membrane (ESNA4040-LF) were treated with silane coupling agents in ethanol at five different concentrations. The silane coupling reagent, aminopropylmethoxydiethoxysilane, contains one aminoalkyl and three alkoxy groups. The hydrophilic effect of aminoalkyl group of APMDES on the permeability and fouling resistance of the modified membrane was examined. The surfaces of the modified membranes were characterized by FE-SEM, contact angle analyzer, and zeta potentiometer in order to confirm successful sol-gel methods. The modified NF membranes showed significantly enhanced water flux and fouling resistance without a decrease in salt rejection in divalent ionic feed solution.

Synthesis of the crystalline film was investigated under the diamond growth condition with altering the addition of the nitrogen from 0% to 95%. With increasing the nitrogen concentration, surface morphology of the film was changed from the diamond film with {100} growth plane to the non-faceted diamond film with nano-scale grains. It also showed that the deposition of the diamond film could be synthesized using only methane and nitrogen gases without hydrogen gas. Separated particles with diamond structure showed an octahedral shaped I the nitrogen ranges between 30% and 80%, and newly formed hexagonal crystals are observed when substrate temperature with diamond structure, however, also identify that the hexagonal crystal was SiCN composite composed of Si, C and N atoms.

Polypyrrole (PPy) was made by an emulsion polymerization using iron (III) chloride ($FeCl_3$) as an initiator and dodecyl benzene sulfuric acid (DBSA) as an emulsifier and dopant. Poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) was sulfonated by chlorosulfonic acid (CSA). The cathode was composed of $PPy^+DBS^-$ complex, conductor powder, and PPO or sulfonated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO) as a binder or dopant. The charge-discharge performance of $PPy^+DBS^-/SPPO$ cathode was increased as the extent of about 50%, than $PPy^+DBS^-/PPO$. This is because SPPO played a role as a binder as well as a dopant. In addition, sulfonation brings out the increase of miscibility between PPy and SPPO, and the increase of contact area between cathode and electrolyte.

실리카 지지체 위에 은 (silver) 나노 입자를 부착시키는 방법으로는 지지체 표면을 먼저 은입자와 친화성이 큰 amino(-NH2), mercapto(-SH), cyan(-CN) 등의 관능기로 표면처리 하는 방법이 일반적으로 사용된다. 구체적으로 설명하면 첫 단계로 지지체인 실리카입자의 표면을 아민으로 표면 처리 한다. 실리카 입자위에 부착된 아민관능기는 입자 생성의 단계에서 은 (silver) 나노 입자가 붙는 접촉점의 역할과 핵 생성 장소로서의 역할을 하게되고, 아민 관능기의 이런 역할로 실리카 입자 표면에 부착된 핵이 생장하여 입자가 됨으로써 최종적으로 은(silver) 나노 입자가 실리카 지지체위에 부착된 형태의 나노복합체가 형성된다. 분자량이 다른 PVP를 사용하여 제조한, NH2와 SH로 계면처리 된 은-실리카 나노복합체제조를 시도하였다. 사용되는 PVP의 분자량이 증가함에 따라 긴 고분자 사슬에 의하여 생성된 입체장애가 증가하게 되어, 은 핵의 성장에 대한 물리적 장벽이 증가하게 된다. 그러므로 고정화된 은 입자의 크기가 감소하게 된다. 이러한 형상은 NH2기 또는 SH기로 계면 처리된 실리카를 이용하여 제조된 은-실리카 나노복합체 입자들에서 모두 관찰되지만, SH기로 계면처리된 실리카를 사용할 경우 고정화된 은 입자의 수가 더욱 많고, 크기 역시 더욱 균일함을 알 수 있다.

섬유가 가늘어지면 굽힘 강성이 저하되고 비표면적이 증가하는 등의 많은 특징을 발휘한다. 특히 폴리에스테르 극세사는 실크와 같은 외관, 유연한 태 등의 감각적으로 우수한 특성을 가지므로 제품의 태에 대한 질적 향상을 요구하는 소비자의 욕구와 맞아떨어져 다양한 용도로 전개되고 있다. 초극세 섬유를 제조하는 방법은 통상적으로 멜트블로운법, 플래쉬법, 전기방사법 그리고 해도형 복합방사법의 4가지로 분류된다. 그중 해도형 복합방사법은 가장 안정적인 방법으로 PET기준으로 0.01데니어 급까지 상용화가 되어 있다. 해도형 복합섬유의 개발에 있어서 중요한 것 중에 하나가 해성분 폴리머의 용출기술이다. 초극세화를 목적으로 해성분인 변성폴리에스테르를 제거시키기 위해서 실시되는 알칼리(NaOH)에 의한 감량공정은 그 처리조건에 따라서 초극세사로 잔존해야하는 도성분의 정규 폴리에스테르까지 손상시킬 수 있기 때문에 균일한 용출조건의 확립은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 초극세화가 진행될수록 알칼리가 필라멘트의 가운데 영역까지 균일하게 침투하기가 어려우며 감량된 도성분도 비표면적이 증가하기 때문에, 해성분의 균일한 용출 및 감량을 위한 안정적인 조건을 선정하기가 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 울트라마이크로-나노급(800nm) 해도형 폴리에스테르 섬유를 이용하여 해성분 용출공정에서 정규 폴리에스테르를 손상시킬 수 있는 알칼리 감량 조건을 완화시키면서 기존과 동일한 감량 효과를 얻을 수 있는 용출 공정을 확립하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 유기산을 이용한 전처리 조건 및 알칼리 감량공정에서 NaOH의 농도, 처리시간, 처리온도의 변화가 울트라마이크로-나노급 해도형 섬유의 용출에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다.

Our ability to predict hydration behavior is becoming increasingly relevant to the concrete community as modelers begin to link material performance to the dynamics of material properties and chemistry. At early ages, the properties of concrete are changing rapidly due to chemical transformations that affect mechanical, thermal and transport responses of the composite. At later ages, the resulting, nano-, micro-, meso- and macroscopic structure generated by hydration will control the life-cycle performance of the material in the field. Ultimately, creep, shrinkage, chemical and physical durability, and all manner of mechanical response are linked to hydration. As a way to enable the modeling community to better understand hydration, a review of hydration models is presented offering insights into their mathematical origins and relationships one-to-the-other. The quest for a universal model begins in the 1920's and continues to the present, and is marked by a number of critical milestones. Unfortunately, the origins and physical interpretation of many of the most commonly used models have been lost in their overuse and the trail of citations that vaguely lead to the original manuscripts. To help restore some organization, models were sorted into four categories based primarily on their mathematical and theoretical basis: (1) mass continuity-based, (2) nucleation-based, (3) particle ensembles, and (4) complex multi-physical and simulation environments. This review provides a concise catalogue of models and in most cases enough detail to derive their mathematical form. Furthermore, classes of models are unified by linking them to their theoretical origins, thereby making their derivations and physical interpretations more transparent. Models are also used to fit experimental data so that their characteristics and ability to predict hydration calorimetry curves can be compared. A sort of evolutionary tree showing the progression of models is given along with some insights into the nature of future work yet needed to develop the next generation of cement hydration models.

The previous studies reflected the significant effect of neutral-axis position and coupling of in-plane and out-of-plane displacements on behavior of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams. In thin FG beam, this coupling can be eliminated by a proper choice of the reference axis. In shear deformable FG nanobeam, not only this coupling can't be eliminated but also the position of neutral-axis is dependent on through-thickness distribution of shear strain. For the first time, in this paper it is avoided to guess a shear strain shape function and the exact shape function and consequently the exact position of neutral axis for arbitrary gradation of higher order nanobeam are obtained. This paper presents new methodology based on differential transform and collocation methods to solve coupled partial differential equations of motion without any simplifications. Using exact position of neutral axis and higher order beam kinematics as well as satisfying equilibrium equations and traction-free conditions without shear correction factor requirement yields to better results in comparison to the previously published results in literature. The classical rule of mixture and Mori-Tanaka homogenization scheme are considered. The Eringen's nonlocal continuum theory is applied to capture the small scale effects. For the first time, the dependency of exact position of neutral axis on length to thickness ratio is investigated. The effects of small scale, length to thickness ratio, Poisson's ratio, inhomogeneity of materials and various end conditions on vibration and buckling of local and nonlocal FG beams are investigated. Moreover, the effect of axial load on natural frequencies of the first modes is examined. After degeneration of the governing equations, the exact new formulas for homogeneous nanobeams are computed.
