Porous $Al_2O_3-(m-ZrO_2)$ composites were fabricated by pressureless sintering, using different volume percentages (40% - 60%) of poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) powders as a pore-forming agent. The pore-forming agent was successfully removed, and the pore size and shape were well-controlled during the burn-out and sintering processes. The average pore size in the porous $Al_2O_3-(m-ZrO_2)$ bodies was about $200\;{\mu}m$ in diameter. The values of relative density, bending strength, hardness, and elastic modulus decreased as the PMMA content increased; i.e., in the porous body (sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$) using 55 vol % PMMA, their values were about 50.8%, 29.8 MPa, 266.4 Hv, and 6.4 GPa, respectively. To make the $Al_2O_3-(m-ZrO_2)$/polymer hybrid composites, a bioactive polymer, such as PMMA, was infiltrated into the porous $Al_2O_3-(m-ZrO_2)$ composites. After infiltration, most of the pores in the porous $Al_2O_3-(m-ZrO_2)$ composites, which were made using 60 vol % PMMA additions, were infiltrated with PMMA, and their values of relative density, bending strength, hardness, and elastic modulus remarkably increased.

Fouling을 줄이기 위한 한외여과용 친수성 막을 제조하기 위해서 chlorosulfonic acid(CSA)를 사용하여 이온교환용량이 다른 여러 종류의 sulfonated polyethersulfone(SPES)을 불균일계에서 제조하고 특성조사를 하였다. CSA농도, 반응온도, 반응시간 등의 반응조건에 따른 반응도와 분해정도를 알아본 결과 10$\circ$C 이상의 온도와 0.05 mol 이상의 CSA 농도에서 효과적으로 반응이 일어나지만 고분자 주쇄의 분해가 심하게 일어나는 경향을 나타내었다. 술폰산기의 치환여부는 FTIR과 $^1$H-NMR로 확인할 수 있었다. 불균일계에서 개질된 SPES 한외여과막의 단백질에 의한 fouling 감소효과를 알아보기 위해 같은 투과성능을 갖는 막을 비용매인 DCM과 pore 형성제 PVP를 첨가제로 사용하여 막을 제조하였다. 이온교환용량이 증가함에 따라 투과속도는 감소하고 배제율은 상당히 증가되었다. 이런 결과는 SEM에 의해서도 확인할 수 있었다. Finger 구조가 사라지면서 top layer의 두께도 증가하였다. 비용매인 DCM에 의해서 치밀한 막을, pore 형성제인 PVP에 의해서 다공성 막을 제조할 수 있었다. 이온교환 용량이 높을수록 친수성이 증가하여 fouling을 감소시킬 수 있었다.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) supports and amine additives were investigated to adsorb $CO_2$. PMMA supports were fabricated by using different ratio of pore forming agents (porogen) to control the BET specific surface area, pore volume and distribution. Toluene and xylene are used for porogens. Supported amine sorbents were prepared by wet impregnation of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) on PMMA supports. So we could identify the effect of the pore structure of supports and the quantity of impregnated TEPA on the adsorption capacity. The increased amount of toluene as pore foaming agent resulted in the decreased average pore diameter and the increased BET surface area. Polymer supports with huge different pore distribution could be fabricated by controlling the ratio of porogen. After impregnation, the support with micropore structure is supposed the pore blocking and filling effect so that it has low $CO_2$ capacity and kinetics due to the difficulty of diffusing. Macropore structure indicates fast adsorption capacity and low influence of amine loading. In case of support with mesopore, it has high performance of adsorption capacity and kinetics. So high surface area and meso-/macro- pore structure is suitable for $CO_2$ capture.

To analyze the effect of the pore size of graphite in a pore-forming agent, graphite was added to porous ceramics of $Al_2O_3-SiO_2-ZrO_2$ systems. The graphite had 45~75, 100~125, 150~180, and 75~180${\mu}m$ dimensions. The properties of the ceramics, such as apparent porosity, density, dynamic elastic modulus, mechanical strength, and permeability, were investigated. The average pore size increased from 15.35${\mu}m$ to 22.32${\mu}m$ with the increase of the graphite size. The sample with the largest average pore size showed the highest mechanical strength and gas permeability. This was due to the sample with the largest pore size at the same porosity having fewer pores and larger distance between the pores than the sample with the smallest pore size, making cracks less likely to propagate. In addition, the large pore size reduced the repulsive power originating from the drag force between the gas and internal pore walls.

Thermal shock behavior of porous ceramic nozzles with various pore sizes for continuous casting process of steel was investigated in terms of physical properties and microstucture. Porous nozzle samples with a composition of $Al_2O_3$-$SiO_2$-$ZrO_2$ were fabricatedby adding various sizes of graphite as the pore forming agent. As the graphite size increased from 45~75 to 150~180 ${\mu}m$, both the resulting pore size and the flexural strength also increased. A thermal shock test was carried out at temperatures (${\Delta}$T) of 600, 700, 800, and 900$^{\circ}C$. Microstructure analysis revealed a small number of cracks on the sample with the largest mean pore size of 22.32 ${\mu}m$. In addition, increasing the pore size led to a smaller decrease in both pressure drop and elastic modulus. In conclusion, controlling the pore size can enhance thermal shock behavior.

Macro-porous carbon foams are fabricated using cured spherical phenolic resin particles as a matrix and furfuryl alcohol as a binder through a simple casting molding. Different sizes of the phenolic resin particles from 100-450 ㎛ are used to control the pore size and structure. Ethylene glycol is additionally added as a pore-forming agent and oxalic acid is used as an initiator for polymerization of furfuryl alcohol. The polymerization is performed in two steps; at 80℃ and 200℃ in an ambient atmosphere. The carbonization of the cured body is performed under Nitrogen gas flow (0.8 L/min) at 800℃ for 1 h. Shrinkage rate and residual carbon content are measured by size and weight change after carbonization. The pore structures are observed by both electron and optical microscope and compared with the porosity results achieved by the Archimedes method. The porosity is similar regardless of the size of the phenolic resin particles. On the other hand, the pore size increases in proportion to the phenol resin size, which indicates that the pore structure can be controlled by changing the raw material particle size.

Lithium ion Battery(LIB)의 음극 활물질로써 리튬을 대체하기 위한 노력으로 phenol resin을 탄화시킨 탄소재료를 사용하였다. Phenol resin을 소성하면 축합반응을 일으키면서 탄화되어 무정형 탄소가 된다. 무정형 탄소는 층간거리가 넓어 리튬의 삽입과 탈리가 용이하지만 탄소간의 결합력이 약하여 구조적 붕괴가 일어난다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 세공형성제로서 $ZnCl_2$를 사용하였다. $ZnCl_2$는 생성된 물질에서 3차원적 망상구조로 성장하는 개방세공을 형성하는 세공형성제로서 뿐만 아니라, 벌크 첨가제가 도핑된 느슨한 구조를 형성하는 미세세공 형성제로서 작용하였다. SEM을 통해서 구조적 차이를 알 수 있었으며, XRD분석으로 층간의 거리를 알 수 있었다. CV측정을 통해 두 가지 샘플에 대한 산화와 환원 반응의 차이를 알아보았다.

기공 제어가 가능한 다공질 인공 지지체를 제조하기 위해 HA 분말에 기공형성제 역할을 하는 PMMA 분말을 첨가하여 TBA를 용매로 한 slurry를 합성한 후 동결주조와 소결을 거쳐 주상형 기공채널이 상호 연결되어 있는 다공질 HA 지지체를 제조하였다. PMMA 분말의 첨가량에 따른 HA 지지체의 결정구조는 XRD로 측정하였고 SEM을 통하여 지지체의 표면 및 내부 단면을 관찰하였는데, 소결과정에서 PMMA의 탈지가 지지체의 내부구조와 HA 분말의 결정성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 결과가 나타났다. 또한 지지체의 물리적 및 기계적 특성을 평가하여 기공형성제의 첨가량을 조절함으로써 기공률 및 기공 크기와 압축 강도의 제어가 가능하였다. 본 연구 결과, HA 지지체가 천연 해면골과 구조 및 특성이 유사하였으며 이를 통해 PMMA 첨가 다공질 HA 지지체가 조직공학용 인공 골지지체로서 자가골을 대체하여 사용이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

This research is focused on the applying of the foaming agent which can make the independent pore in the concrete structure in order to make a lightweight concrete structure. This lightweight foamed concrete can satisfy both the required strength and the mechanical properties as structural members. In addition, anti freezing-thawing properties also required. As a result of the unit volume-weight measurement, when the foaming agent mixed at 0.5% to 1%, the lightweight foamed concrete can be applied for the structural member. Also the density and compressive strength measurement results reveals that it will be suitable as structural member with 21MPa strength, when the density is betweenity8 to 1.9 and foaming agent quantities are 0.5% to 1%. Finally the result of freezing-thawing experiment, the effect freezing-thawing damage reduced according to adding foaming agent because those foaming agent make micro-pores in the structure which are not seen in the ordinary concrete structure.

Silica-based ceramic-matrix composites have shown promise as advanced materials for many applications such as chemical catalysts, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. $SiO_2$-CuO-$CeO_2$ multi-component powders and their thin film, using an oxalic acid template as a chelating agent, have larger surface areas and more uniform pore size distribution than those of inorganic acid catalysts. $SiO_2$-CuO-$CeO_2$ composite powders were synthesized using tetraethylorthosilicate, copper (II) nitrate hemi (pentahydrate), and cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate with oxalic acid as template or pore-forming agent. The process of thermal evolution, the phase composition, and the surface morphology of these powders were monitored by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS). The mesoporous property of the powders was observed by Brunner-Emmett-Teller surface (BET) analysis. The improved surface area of this powder template with oxalic acid was $371.4m^2/g$. This multi-component thin film on stainless-steel was prepared by sol-gel dip coating with no cracks.
