This is an experimental study to identify the performance of air-to-air rotary heat exchanger with polyurethane foam matrix. The experimental apparatus including heating AHU(Air Handling Unit), cooling AHU, sensor chamber, and heat exchanger testing unit was designed and manufactured in this study. The performance of heat exchanger with porous polyurethane foam matrix was tested with variations of the density and the thickness of matrix, regulating the wind velocity and the rotational speed of matrix. The actual heat recovery effectiveness, air leakage rate, and pressure drop of heat exchanger were measured and analyzed.

A new method for preparation of thin nickel foam for Ni-MH battery was investigated. In this method, fine graphite powders of $1\mu\textrm{m}$～$2\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter were pasted into pores of thin polyurethane foam film in order to supply electric conducting seeds for nickel deposition by electroless plating reaction. After electroless plating, remaining polyurethane foam was removed chemically by organic solvent treatment and graphite particles also removed by ultrasonic cleaning. Porosity of formed nickel foam was about 85% During electroplating, porosity of the nickel foam decreased less than 5% up to $30\mu\textrm{m}$ coating thickness. And then it was electroplated and heat-treated to improve mechanical strength and ductility. Finally, thin nickel foam for Ni electrode of Ni-MH battery with 80% porosity and $350\mu\textrm{m}$～X$400\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness was obtained.

In this study, natural rubber latex foam was prepared in order to replace commercialized polyurethane foams as a car seat material. Physical properties of the latex foam were investigated and the light stability was improved. The latex foam was mixed in an aqueous solution state, and the degree of foaming and the accelerator ratios were appropriately controlled. Tensile properties, hysteresis and dynamic mechanical properties of the latex foam were measured to compare with those of polyurethane foams. UV light absorbers and radical scavengers were added for improving light stability of the latex foam. Xenon lamp test was conducted to investigate the effects of the reagents on light stability. Our results revealed that the prepared latex foam including a light absorber with an antioxidant showed excellent light stable performances.

To improve the sound damping effect of flexible polyurethane foam, with an open-cell structure, various plate-like fillers, such as bentonite, organophilic clay and sodium montmorillonite intercalated with poly(ethylene glycol), were incorporated for the creation of nanocomposites. The plate-like fillers effectively improved the sound damping within the high frequency range. The structures of the nanocomposites and foam were examined using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties and flammability of the foams were also examined.

폴리우레탄을 PU1000(poly(propylene glycol), PPG, 분자량 1000 g/mol로 제조된 폴리우레탄)과 PU2000(PPG 분자량 2000 g/mol로 제조된 폴리우레탄)을 이용하여 다층구조와 발포체 다층구조로 제조하였고 동력학 특성과 음향특성을 기준물질인 PU1000과 비교 조사하였다. 다층구조 폴리우레탄의 감쇠 피크는 PU1000에 비해 낮은 온도로 이동한 반면에 발포체를 이용한 다층구조에서의 감쇠 피크는 PU1000에 비해 높은 온도로 이동하였고 감쇠 범위 또한 넓어졌다. 음향특성인 투과손실 측면에서 보면 다층구조의 투과손실은 기준이 되는 PU1000에 비해 100 Hz이하와 600 Hz의 특정 주파수 영역에서 효과적이었고 발포체 다층구조의 경우는 실험 범위인 1000 Hz이하 전영역에서 아주 우수한 투과손실이 얻어졌다

식물성 천연 유지인 콩기름을 peracetic acid로 에폭시화 시킨 후에 황산 촉매 하에서 메탄올과 반응시켜서 OH-value가 186(mg KOH/g)인 폴리올을 합성하였다. 합성한 폴리올에 계면활성제로는 silicon계 B-8409를, 발포제로는 증류수를, 촉매로는 dimethylcyclohexylamine을, 이소시아네이트로는 polymeric MDI를 사용하여 폴리우레탄 포옴을 합성하였다. 형성된 포옴의 밀도, 압축강도, 압축탄성률, cell의 구조 등을 조사하였다. MDI의 당량비를 변화시켜 가며 포옴을 형성시켜 보았으며, MDI index를 105로 고정하고, 발포제, 계면활성제, 촉매의 양을 각각 변화시켜 가며 포옴을 형성시켜 보았다. MDI index가 증가할수록 밀도와 압축 물성이 증가하였다.

To identify optimized thermal properties of mold brassiere cup for improved thermal comfort during summer, we compared the thermal resistance and the water vapor permeability of Polyurethane (PU) foam, 3D spacer fabric and the two combined materials of the PU foam and the 3D spacer fabric. Four experimental mold brassieres were made of the materials for wearing test. Six women in their twenties evaluated the wearing sensation in the hot and humid environment. The changes in microclimate temperature and humidity while wearing test brassiere cups were measured. Results indicate that thermal resistance increased as more PU foam were combined, while the water vapor permeability was higher as the content of the 3D spacer fabric increased at thickness of 18mm and over. However, in the wear test, the PU foam brassiere was the most preferred in all ambient conditions due to its soft, flexible and smooth texture, despite its high thermal resistance and low water vapor permeability. This indicates that the textures of mold foams are more dominant properties than thermal properties for mold foams in determining the wear comfort of mold brassieres.

본 연구에서는 폴리우레탄 폼의 셀 내부구조 및 크기가 친유성 유체의 흡유능에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 연구하였다. 우선 다양한 분자량의 폴리올 (GP-1000, GP-3000, GP-4000, GP-5000)을 이용하여 폴리우레탄 폼을 제조하여 그 기본적인 물성을 조사하였다. 폴리올의 분자량이 증가함에 따라 셀 크기가 감소하고 흡유량이 2000% 이상 증가하였다. Surfactant량이 증가하고 흡착되는 유체의 점도가 증가함에 따라 흡유량이 현저하게 감소함을 알 수가 있었다. 또한 폴리올의 분자량이 증가함에 따라 표면강도가 상승하였는데 이는 분자량 증가에 따른 유체점도의 상승이 폼밀도를 증대시킨데 기인한 것으로 해석할 수 있었다. 폼생성시 교반속도가 증가하여도 밀도가 증가하였다.

Porous mullite-corundum ceramics were prepared using organic foam impregnation method with alumina and silica as raw materials. The influence of alkaline treatment and surfactant modification on polyurethane foam were studied. Effects of sintering process and material composition on porous mullite-corundum ceramics were investigated. The results show that the hang-pulp quantity of polyurethane foam increases with alkaline treatment. After treatment with 3 wt% SDS solution, the hang-pulp quantity of polyurethane foam further improved. Open porosity of sample decreased with elevation of sintering temperature and holding time, and compressive strength of sample showed a trend opposite to the change of porosity. The open porosity of the sample was enhanced by the increase of m(Al₂O₃/SiO₂); the compressive strength decreased with increase of m(Al₂O₃/SiO₂). However, when m(Al₂O₃/SiO₂) was 2.5, the compressive strength of the sample reached 6.23 MPa, and the open porosity of the sample was 80.7 %.

항균 기능이 있는 것으로 알려진 우루시올과 카다놀을 폴리우레탄 제조시 첨가하여 항균 기능을 갖는 폴리우레탄 폼을 제조하였다. 이 항균 첨가물이 MDI와 화학 반응하여 폴리우레탄 합성에 참여한다는 것을 FT-IR을 사용하여 확인하였다. 우루시올과 카다놀을 첨가하여 제조된 폴리우레탄 폼의 물성 변화는 없었으며 우루시올과 카다놀로 각각 공중합된 폴리우레탄폼의 열적 안정성이 항균물질 미처리된 폼 보다 향상된 것을 TGA를 이용하여 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 대장균을 균주로 이용하여 항균테스트를 실시한 결과 균 감소율이 99%까지 나타났으며 이러한 항균성이 지속적임을 알 수 있었다.
