Activated carbon spheres (ACS) were prepared at different heating rates by carbonization of the resole-type phenolic beads (PB) at $950^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ atmosphere followed by activation of the resultant char at different temperatures for 5 h in $CO_2$ atmosphere. Influence of heating rate on porosity and temperature on carbon structure and porosity of ACS were investigated. Effect of heating rate and temperature on porosity of ACS was also studied from adsorption isotherms of nitrogen at 77 K using BET method. The results revealed that ACS have exhibited a BET surface area and pore volume greater than $2260\;m^2/g$ and $1.63\;cm^3/g$ respectively. The structural characteristics variation of ACS with different temperature was studied using Raman spectroscopy. The results exhibited that amount of disorganized carbon affects both the pore structure and adsorption properties of ACS. ACS were also evaluated for structural information using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. ACS were evaluated for chemical composition using CHNS analysis. The ACS prepared different temperatures became more carbonaceous material compared to carbonized material. ACS have possessed well-developed pores structure which were verified by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SEM micrographs also exhibited that ACS have possessed well-developed micro- and meso-pores structure and the pore size of ACS increased with increasing activation temperature.

In this paper, the pressure drops were investigated according to the sintered porous wick structure in loop heat pipe(LHP) by theoretical analysis. LHP has the wick only in evaporator for the circulation of working fluid, so utilizes porous wick structure which pore diameter is very small for large capillary force. This paper investigates the effects of different parameters on the pressure drops of the LHP such as particle diameter of sintered porous wick, wick porosity, vapor line diameter, thickness of wick and heating capacity. Working fluid is water and the material of sintered porous wick is copper. According to the these different parameters, capillary pressure, pressure drop in wick were analized by theoretical design method of LHP.

Porous TiNi bodies were produced by Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) method from a powder mixture of Ti and Ni. Porosity, pore size and structure, mechanical property, and transformation temperature of TiNi product were investigated. The average porosity and pore size of produced porous TiNi body are 63% and $216\mutextrm{m}$, respectively. XRD analysis showed that the major phase of produced TiNi body is B2 phase. Its average fracture strength and elastic modulus measured under dry condition were $22\pm2$ MPa and $0.18\pm0.01$GPa, respectively. It could be strained up to 7.3 %. The transformation temperatures determined by DSC showed the $M_s$ temperature of $67^{\circ}C$ and $A_f$ temperature of $99^{\circ}C$.

This purpose of this study is to find the properties of pore structure and length change of blast furnace slag cement added alkali powder stimulant on shrinkage reducing agent presence. In length change, the specimen added alkaline stimulant was smaller than normal blast furnace slag concrete. And the specimen added shrinkage reduction agent was confirmed to show smaller rate of length change than the length. In MIP analysis of 1day-age, 0.1㎛ subsequent pore amount of the specimen added alkaline stimulant was significantly smaller value the normal blast furnace slag concrete specimen.

Periodically ordered mesoporous manganese oxides were synthesized in a single and double replication procedure. Mesoporous SBA-15 and -16 silica and their reverse replica carbons were successively used as hard templates. The silica and carbon pore systems were infiltrated with $Mn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}xH_2O$ or $Mn(AcAc)_2$, which was then converted to $Mn_2O_3$ at 873 K; the silica and carbon matrix were finally removed by NaOH solution or calcinations in air. The structure of the mesoporous $Mn_2O_3$, using a carbon template, corresponds to that of the original SBA-15 and SBA-16 silica. The products consist of hexagonally arranged cylindrical mesopores with crystalline pore walls or cubic mesoporous pores. The structure of replica has been confirmed by XRD, TEM analysis, and its electrochemical properties were tested with cyclic voltammetry. Formation of $Mn_2O_3$ inside the mesoporous carbon pore system showed much improved electrical properties.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect on drying shrinkage of self-healing epoxy-modified mortars(EPMMs) using expansive admixtures. The EPMMs are prepared with polymer-binder ratios of 0 and 10%, and tested for drying shrinkage and pore structure analysis. As a result, regardless of the expansion and swelling agent content, the drying shrinkage of the EPMMs is remarkably decreased than that of unmodified mortars. Also, the pore size distribution of the EPMMs is moved to smaller size in comparison with unmodified mortars. In this study, the EPMM with expansive agent 7.5% and swelling agent 2.5% is recommended as a optimal mix proportion for reduction of drying shrinkage.

The analysis of microstructure is essential to understand the material behavior such as shrinkage, strength, and permeability. In this study, three different easy-to-apply specimen preparation methods for the mercury intrusion analysis were chosen, and their effectiveness in removing pore water and thus impeding further hydration was evaluated. As a result, it was found that the direct freeze-drying was the most effective among the three methods.

Human influence on soil formation has dramatically increased as the development of human civilization and industry. Increase of anthropogenic soils induced research of those soils; classification, chemical and physical characteristics and plant growth of anthropogenic soils. However there have been no reports on soil pore properties from the anthropogenic soils so far. Therefore the objectives of this study were to test computer tomography (CT) to characterize physical properties of an anthropogenic paddy field soil and to find differences between natural and anthropogenic paddy field soils. Soil samples of a natural paddy field were taken from Ansung, Gyeonggi-do (Ansung site), and samples of an anthropogenic paddy field were from Gumi in Gyeongsangnam-do (Gasan) where paddy fields were remodeled in 2011-2012. Samples were taken at three different depths and analyzed for routine physical properties and CT scans. CT scan provided 3 dimensional images to calculate pore size, length and tortuosity of soil pores. Fractal analysis was applied to quantify pore structure within soil images. The results of measured physical properties (bulk density, porosity) did not show differences across depths and sites, but hardness and water content had differences. These differences repeated within the results of pore morphology. Top soil samples from both sites had greater pore numbers and sizes than others. Fractal analyses showed that top soils had more heterogeneous pore structures than others. The bottom layer of the Gasan site showed more degradation of pore properties than ploughpan and bottom layers from the Ansung site. These results concluded that anthropogenic soils may have more degraded pore properties as depth increases. The remodeled paddy fields may need more fundamental remediation to improve physical conditions. This study suggests that pore analyses using CT can provide important information of physical conditions from anthropogenic soils.

다공질 암석의 공극구조는 그 암석의 수리-역학적 거동에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. 다공질 암석의 공극구조 특성을 표현하는 대표적인 방법은 공극률, 공극크기분포, 방향성 등이 있다. 암석의 유효공극률은 실험적으로 비교적 쉽게 구할 수 있지만, 공극의 크기분포 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 X-ray CT를 이용하여 대표적 다공질 암석인 베레아 사암의 공극구조 중 공극크기분포를 이미지 기반으로 평가하였다. 공극크기분포 평가를 위해 본 연구에서는 이미지 필터링, 이진화, 골격화 등의 이미지 기반 처리 작업을 수행하였으며, 국부 두께평가 및 star chord를 이용하여 베레아 사암의 공극크기분포를 구하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 X-ray CT 기반의 공극크기분포 평가방법을 이용하여 향후 다공질 재료의 공극구조 평가에 새롭고 효율적인 방안을 제시하고자 하였다.

지반내 물의 흐름은 입자 사이의 공극 분포에 의존하므로 입자의 크기를 이용한 수리학적 물성치의 예측은 정확도가 낮다. 본 논문은 Silveria의 방법을 이용하여 입도분포곡선으로부터 수축 공극크기분포를 산정하고, 포화-불포화 수리학적 물성치를 산정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 입도분포가 양호한 흙은 단봉의 공극크기분포를 보이고, 입도분포가 불량한 흙은 쌍봉의 공극크기분포를 보였다. 공극크기분포를 이용한 이론적 포화투수계수 모델식 중에서 Marshall 모델이 실내실험결과와 가장 부합되었다. 불포화토 수리해석에 필요한 함수특성곡선과 불포화투수계수에 대한 모델식을 공극크기분포를 이용하여 제안하였다. 개발된 모델식을 다양한 흙에 적용하여 수리학적 물성치의 예측에 적합한 모델을 선정하는 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.
