The purpose of this study is heavy metal absorption of recycled PET(poly ethylene terephatalate) NWF(non woven faric). The results of test are summarized as follows; Heavy metal abworption rates in Ni ions were higher then Zn and Cu ions, whereas heavy metal absorption rates by sulfonation times were not different. The heavy metal absorption times have a higher tendency from 60 min to 120 min. There were significant negative correlations among the amount used CSA(Chloro Sulfuric Acid) and the amount of absorption Zn(r = -0.33784, p < 0.05), Cu(r = -0.61177, p < 0.01) ions, whereas correlations between heavy metal absorption rates and sulfonation times were not significant. There were significant positive correlations among the amount of absorption Zn ions and the amount of absorption Ni(r = 96475, p < 0.014), Cu(r = 0.51614, p < 0.01) ions, likewise the positive correlations between the amount of absorption N ions and the amount of absorption Cu(r = 0.54766) ions were significant(p < 0.01).

In this paper the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column connections under cyclic loading was analyzed. The specimens, manufactured in a reduced-scale were made of (a) recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) by replacing 30% of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) with recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and (b) RAC incorporating Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber i.e., PET fiber-reinforced concrete (PFRC) at the joint region. PET fiber (aspect ratio=25) of 0.5% by weight of concrete used in the PFRC mix was obtained by hand cutting of post-consumer PET bottles. A reference specimen was also prepared using 100% of NCA and subjected to similar loading sequence. Comparing the results the structural behavior under cyclic loading of RAC specimens are quite similar to the reference specimens. Damage tolerance, load resisting capacity, stiffness degradation, ductility, and energy dissipation of the RAC specimens enhanced due to addition of PET fibers at the joint region. PFRC specimens also presented a lower damage indices and higher principal tensile stresses as compared to the RAC specimens. The results obtained gave experimental evidence on the feasibility of RAC for structural use. Using PET fibers as a discrete reinforcement is recommended for improving the seismic performance of RAC specimens.

In this paper, rare earth element (REE)/polyester composites were designed with lanthanum oxide, gadolinium oxide, and lutetium oxide as ray shielding agents, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as the base. Monte Carlo simulation was carried out using FLUKA software. We found that the radiation protection performance of the composite is affected by the type and amount of REE; a higher amount of REE equated to a better radiation protection performance of the composite. When the thickness of the composite and total thickness of the REE is constant, the number of superimposed layers inside the composite does not affect its shielding performance. Compared with a single-type REE/PET composite, a mixed-type REE/PET composite has a wider range of γ-ray absorption and better radiation protection performance. When the mass ratio of PET to REE is 2:8 and different types of REE are mixed with equal mass, several 0.2 cm-thick mixed-type REE/PET composites can shield >70% of 60 and 80 KeV γ-rays.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the quality of Aralia elata shoots according to different packaging methods during storage at 2℃. The highest level of dehydration and wilting incidences were observed in polypropylene containers with polyvinyl chloride wrap (PP+PVC), and these levels continually increased during the entire storage period, compared to other packaging methods. The overall marketability of A. elata shoot packaged in polyethylene terephthalate container (PET) and PP with the mineral-coted functional warp (PP+F) constantly declined during storage with a similar level of 38.6 and 36.0% at 15 days in storage, respectively. PP with PET cover packaging (PP+PET) showed the lowest decay and wilting rates during the entire storage, and the wilting score at 10th day was 51.9, 58.0, 51.8% suppressed, as compared to PET, PP+PVC, and PP+F, respectively. Consequently PP+PET packaging effectively decreased the deterioration of A. elata and maintained marketability for 10 days of storage at 2℃.

Biodegradable octopus pot was developed to reduce plastic pollution problem in the sea and fishing trouble between fishermen. It can be expect to recycle other wasted biodegrade fishing gear. Experimental fishing was carried out to understand the difference in fishing efficiency between Polyethylene (PE) octopus pots and biodegradable (Polybutylene Succinate and Polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate) octopus pots which was tried to make in this study in the sea. There were caught by 237 numbers of fishing during the experimental period. Among the 237 numbers of fishing, 160 or 67.5% were PE pots which were more than the biodegradable pots. A comparison of the monthly catches between the PE pots and biodegradable pots shows that the catches were overall higher in the PE pots than in the other pots. The result is very similar with the comparison of total catches by each type of the pots. In terms of bycatch, the number of species, amount of catches and the number of fishing with bycatch were more significant in the biodegradable pots than in the PE pots.

혼합 싹채소의 MAP에 적합한 포장재를 선발하기 위해 알팔파, 브로콜리, 양배추, 무, 그리고 적무의 혼합 싹채소를 $50{\mu}m$ 두께의 low-density polyethylene 필름(PE 50), $50{\mu}m$ 두께의 polypropylene 필름(PP 50), $50{\mu}m$ 두께의 ceramic 필름(CE 50), $25{\mu}m$ 두께 ceramic 필름(CE 25), $10\sim13{\mu}m$ 두께의 polyethylene film(wrap), 그리고 통기구가 있는 polyethylene terephthalate 박스(box)로 포장하여 $8^{\circ}C$에서 저장 비교하였다. 저장 중 혼합 싹채소의 생체중은 7%의 감소를 보인 box처리구를 제외한 모든 처리구에서 2% 미만의 감소만을 보였다. 포장재 내부 대기는 필름 종류에 따라 차이를 보였다. CE 25는 산소와 이산화탄소 모두 5% 수준이었으나, PE 50과 CE 50은 이보다 높은 이산화탄소와 낮은 산소 농도를 보였는데, 이러한 대기 조성 변화가 이들 처리구에서 가장 이취가 가장 심했던 원인이라 생각된다. 저장 10일째 포장재 내 에틸렌 농도는 box가 가장 낮았고, 다음으로 PP 50, wrap, CE 25의 순서로 높았으며 외관상 품질이 저하가 가장 심하였던 PE 50과 CE 50에서 가장 높았다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 1% 미만의 생체중 감소와 5% 수준의 이산화탄소와 산소 농도, 그리고 4ppm 이하의 에틸렌 농도를 보인 CE 25가 혼합 싹채소에 가장 적합한 포장재인 것으로 나타났다.

We develop a new nonwoven composite separator for a safer lithium-ion battery, which is based on coating of silica ($SiO_2$) colloidal particles/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) binder to a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nonwoven support. The $SiO_2$ particles are interconnected by the SBR binder and closely packed in the nonwoven composite separator, which thus allows for the development of unusual porous structure, i.e. highly-connected interstitial voids formed between the $SiO_2$ particles. The PET nonwoven serves as a mechanical support that contributes to suppressing thermal shrinkage of the nonwoven composite separator. The $SiO_2$/SBR content in the nonwoven composite separators plays an important role in determining their separator properties. Porous structure, air permeability, and electrolyte wettability of the nonwoven composite separators, in comparison to a commercialized polyethylene (PE) separator, are elucidated as a function of the $SiO_2$/SBR content. Based on this understanding of the nonwoven composite separators, the effect of $SiO_2$/SBR content on the electrochemical performances such as self-discharge, discharge capacity, and discharge C-rate capability of cells assembled with the nonwoven composite separators is investigated.

The ablation effects of Ar-plasma treatment and alkali-decomposition behavior in NaOH solution of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film were investigated. The modifications were evaluated by analysis of atomic force microscopy topographical changes, and by the measurement of decomposition yield in conjunction with heats of formation and electron densities of acyl carbon calculated by Parameterization Method 3 method. It has shown that the alkali-decomposition is hampered by plasma treatment and its decomposition yield is closely related with plasma treatment conditions such as exposure time to plasma. Plasma-treated PET films exhibited lower decomposition yield, compared to that of virgin PET. Increasing plasma exposure time contributes positively to decrease the decomposition yield. It has also shown that the topography of PET surface was affected by the base-promoted hydrolysis as well as Ar-plasma treatments. These behaviors are attributed to the decreased nucleophilicity of acyl carbon damaged by the ablation of Ar-plasma.

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.

원료인 생수와 포장 용기인 페트병과 뚜껑에서 야기되는 이취 성분의 존재여부를 MS-전자코를 통하여 분석해 보았다. 이취가 나는 생수는 농도별로 DF2 양의 방향으로 이동하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었고, 이취의 원인이 페트병 혹은 페트병의 뚜껑이라고 가정하여 분석을 진행한 결과 뚜껑에서 휘발 성분이 페트병 보다 많이 검출되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 물에서 나는 이취가 페트병보다는 뚜껑에 영향을 더 많이 받았을 것이라고 볼 수 있었다. 또한 이온 분획의 결과로 보아 이취의 원인이 되는 물질인 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, 노난올과 데칸올이 페트병과 뚜껑에 포함되어 있다고 추측되었다.
