Concrete is widely used in the construction industry; however, it has the disadvantage of deteriorating durability due to cracks occurring because of climate change and shrinkage. In addition, when cement is used as a binder, CO₂ emitted during the manu-facturing process accounts for ~8% of global CO₂ emissions. In this study, ecofriendly cementitious materials such as blast furnace slag powder and fly ash (FA) were used as cement substitutes in the production of mortar containing a chitosan-based polymer (CP), and their fluidity, compressive strength, and self-healing performance were examined. The 28-day compressive strength of the control sample was ~32.4 MPa (the lowest for all tested samples), while that of the sample containing 5% CP and 20% FA was ~49.6 MPa (the highest for all tested samples) and ~53.1% higher than that of the control sample. Even at a healing age of 56 days, the control sample exhibited the lowest healing performance, whereas the samples containing CP (5%, 10%) and 20% FA demonstrated excellent healing performance. After 28 days, the decrease in crack size for the control sample was minimal; however, for the sample containing only cement and CP, a significant decrease in crack size was observed even after 28 days. This study confirmed that the appropriate use of CP and cementitious materials improves not only compressive strength but also the selfhealing performance of mortar.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)와 Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)를 넣은 개질 아스팔트 혼합물은 바인더에 중량 비로 $3{\sim}6%$ 첨가하여 여러 가지 특성을 획기적으로 향상시킨 아스팔트 재료이다. 아스팔트 재료의 개질목적은 일반 혼합물의 균 열저항과 소성 변형과 같은 전형적인 약점을 향상시키기 위해서이다. 이 재료들은 많은 장점들을 가지고 있으며 플랜트 적용이 간편하고 현장적용성이 우수한 특정을 가지고 있다. 여러 해 동안의 경험을 통해 습식 개질 아스팔트와 건식 아스팔트 혼합물이 현장에서 실용화할 수 있게 발전되었다. 본 연구에서는 이를 종합적으로 평가하여 그 장단점을 일반 아스팔트 혼합물과 비교 평가하여 LDPE, SBS 개질 아스팔트 혼합물의 특성을 체계적으로 밝히는 것을 본 연구의 목적으로 한다.

Alcohol-based solvents including ethanol (EtOH) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) are investigated instead of isopropanol (IPA), which is a common solvent for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), as an alternative solvent for preparing the catalyst slurry with PTFE binder. As a result, the performance at 0.2 A/㎠ from the single cells from using catalyst slurries based on EtOH and TBA showed very similar value to that from the slurry using IPA, which implies the EtOH and TBA can be used as a solvent for the catalyst slurry. It is also confirmed by the very close values of the total resistance of the membrane electrode assemblies from the slurries using different solvents. In the energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) image, the shape of crack and dispersion of PTFE are changed according to the vapor pressure of the solvent.

혈액으로부터 헤파린을 선택적으로 제거하기 위하여 cellulose 기질에 양이온 고분자인 poly(allylamine)(PALA)을 새로운 방법으로 고정화하여 헤파린 제거제를 제조한 다음 in vitro 헤파린 용액내에서 흡착실험을 행하여, 미처리 cellulose control과의 흡착능을 비교하였다. 제조된 헤파린 제거제와 미처리 cellulose의 표면적은 각각 1.36 및 $2.56m^2$/g로 개질처리된 경우의 표면적이 약 1/2로 감소하였다. 또한 제조된 헤파린 제거제에 흡착된 헤파린의 양은 개질 방법에 따라 0.16~$0.03{\mu} g$/$cm^2$로 미처리 celluose($0.03{\mu} g$/$cm^2$)보다 월등히 우수한 헤파린 흡착능을 나타내었다.

The infrared reflection coatings with pigment can be used to protect the surfaces of combustible materials exposed to fire. To obtain high reflectivities in the infrared range (0.5-10.mu.m) important to fire, several dielectric pigments, such as titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and silicon, can be synthesized to polymer coatings. The theoretical analysis shows that the coating design with particles diameter in the 1.5 to 2.5.mu.m range and volume fraction in the 0.1 to 0.2 range is estimated to be optimal. In the analysis of the radiation, the dependent scattering, absorption by polymeric binder, and the internal interface reflection are considered. In addition, the temperature distribution in the semi-transparent coating layer and an opaque substrate (PMMA) is also presented.

Photopolymers are quite promising candidates for holographic data storage and diffusers because of their high sensitivity and high refractive index modulation. New photopolymers were prepared using the cellulose ester binder bearing different kinds of monomer. The holographic gratings were elaborated successfully in these photopolymer samples by conventional optical interference method. We investigated the dynamic behavior of the diffraction efficiency and the effect of the functionality of the monomer doped into the polymer binder. Triacrylate monomer doped photopolymer showed the highest diffraction efficiency of around 80-90 %, even under low intensity of writing beam (I=2 mW/$cm^2$). We inscribed the gratings of the glass diffuser on the surface of the photopolymer and investigated their diffusion properties.

Graphite has hexagonal closed packing structure with two bonding characteristics; (1) van der waals bonding between c axis, and (2) covalent bonding in the a and b axis. The weak van der waals bonds cause self-lubricant property, and the strong covalent bonds cause excellent electric and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, graphite is chemically very inert because of the material composed of only carbon elements. Thus, graphite is very useful for mechanical sealing materials. However, Graphite have porous microstructure because starting materials of graphite produce many volatile during the manufacturing processes. This causes low density of graphite, which is unsuitable for the mechanical sealing materials. Thus, further impregnation process is generally needed to enhance the graphite density. In this work, high density graphite is prepared with the principle of densification when coke and pitch binder, prepared from thermal treatment of coal tar pitch, become dehydrogenation during graphitization or carbonization.

PVDF-HFP (binder)/silylated alumina (inorganic particle)-coated PE (polyethylene) separators were with various compositions of binder and inorganic particle were prepared by a dip-coating process with humidity control (R.H. 25% and 50%) using electron beam irradiation. The morphology of the coated PVDF-$HFP/Al_2O_3$ layer with various compositions of PVDF-HFP and $Al_2O_3$, and humidity condition was found to be an important factor in determining ionic conductivity of the prepared separators. The PVDF-$HFP/Al_2O_3$ (5/5)-coated PE separator prepared at R.H. 50% followed by electron beam irradiation at 200 kGy was applied for lithium-ion polymer battery and the cell test results showed improved high-rate discharge performance and better cyclic stability compared to the cells with the bare PE and the PVDF-HFP-coated PE separators.

In this study, a catalyst slurry was prepared with a Pt/C catalyst, Nafion ionomer solution as a binder, an ionic liquid (IL) (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate), deionized water and ethanol as a solvent for the application to polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) at high-temperatures. The effect of the IL in the electrode of each design was investigated by performing a cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement. Electrodes with different IL distributions inside and on the surface of the catalyst electrode were examined. During the CV test, the electrochemical surface area (ESA) obtained for the Pt/C electrode without ILs gradually decreased owing to three mechanisms: Pt dissolution/redeposition, carbon corrosion, and place exchange. As the IL content increased in the electrode, an ESA decrement was observed because ILs leaked from the Nafion polymer in the electrode. In addition, the CVs under conditions simulating leakage of ILs from the electrode and electrolyte were evaluated. When the ILs leaked from the electrode, minor significant changes in the CV were observed. On the other hand, when the leakage of ILs originated from the electrolyte, the CVs showed different features. It was also observed that the ESA decreased significantly. Thus, leakage of ILs from the polymer electrolyte caused a performance loss for the PEFCs by reducing the ESA. As a result, greater entrapment stability of ILs in the polymer matrix is needed to improve electrode performance.

에너지 고분자인 poly(BAMO-AMMO)와 유사한 특성을 갖는 폴리에틸렌 플라스토머인 Exact를 고분자 결합제로, RDX(research department explosive)와 유사한 특성을 갖는 dechlorane을 충전제로 사용한 고농축 복합화약 시뮬란트 현탁계의 유변물성을 연구하였다. 회분식 용융혼련기를 사용하여 현탁계의 혼화거동을 조사하였는데 상당한 점성소산열이 발생하였다. 충전율이 70 v% 이상에서는 토크의 지속적인 감소가 있었는데 이는 벽면 미끌어짐 현상에 기인한다고 사료되었다. SEM 관찰 결과 충전제 입자들은 잘 분산되어 있었고 혼화 조건의 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 현탁계의 뚜렷한 전단박화(shear thinning) 특성으로 인하여 낮은 전단속도의 평판-평판 레오미터에서 측정이 어려운 고충전 현탁계도 높은 전단속도의 모세관 레오미터에서 유변물성 측정이 가능하였다.
