In this study, a physical and chemical properties analysis was conducted for PCSP to evaluate properties of its materials and, for comparison purpose, was also conducted for CSP. The result of experiment confirmed improvement of iron recovery rate due to introduction of rapid water-cooling equipment and greater density of exterior and interior structure through SEM observation and porosity measurement. Also, SEM, XRD and DSC-TGA analysis showed that content of f-CaO in PCSP was minuscule so it was decided that problems of material stability including f-CaO-caused bulging failure, which has been problematic, can be solved.

Testing device was newly designed and built to measure the dynamic contact angle. The measurement was made using microscope interfaced with computerized image analysis system while the dynamic condition being controled using Instron. As specimens for the experiment, two different types of fibers, i.e., hydrophilic and hydrophobic, were prepared. In case of hydrophilic fiber, the increase of twist level gave the increase of contact angle. However, in hydrophobic yarn the increase of twist level gave the decrease of contact angle. When saline was used as a telling liquid, the increase of the concentration gave the increase of contact angle. The results rationalized clearly on the basis of known concepts could be used in designing fabric structure for the improvement of comport performance.

The diffusion layer within MEA(membrane electrode assembly) has been evaluated important factor for improvement of cell performance in DMFC. The diffusion layer in MEA structure leads to the reduction of catalyst loss in active catalysts layer as well as prevention of water-flooding in cathode. Cell performance is directly affected by interior properties of diffusion layer materials. Acetylene Black and $RuO_2$ with large pore size and low porosity compared to Vulcan XC-72R gave better performance caused by vigorous methanol diffusion and water removal. And $RuO_2$ as diffusion layer materials showed different behavior in anode and cathode compartment, that is, diffusion layers in anode and cathode side make methanol diffusion and water removal facilitate, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of substitution of silica fume and fly ash to the mortar mixed with 1:1 of cement/sand ratio on the physical properties. The changes of physical properties were observed through compressive strength, XRD, SEM, and porosity. As result, the compressive strength was excellent when silica fume was replaced with cement in the range of 10%. But the substituion of fly ash was not affect with improvement of compressive strength. Especially , the compressive strength showed the maximum value with 1047kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for the substitution of silica fume and fly ash of 10% and 5%, respectively.

It has been known that acid-resistant concretes on the liquid glass basis have high porosity (up to 18${\sim}$20%), low strength and insufficient water resistance. Therefore they can not be used as materials for load-bearing structural elements. Significant increasing of silicate matrix strength and density was carried out by incorporation of special liquid organic alkali-soluble silicate additives, which block of superficial pores and reduces concrete shrinkage deformation. It was demonstrated that introduction of tetrafurfuryloxisilane additive sharply increases strength, durability and shock resistance of silicate polymer concrete in aggressive media. This effect is attributable to hardening of contacts between silicate binder gel globes and modification of alkaline component owing to "inoculation" of the furan radical. The optimal concrete composition with the increased strength, chemical resistance in the aggressive environments, density and crack resistance was obtained.

Measuring ink penetration is one of the best ways to know paper printability. Ink penetration was effected by physical properties of newspapers. This study was carried out for the purpose of improvement printability with ink penetration of Korean newspapers. The samples were prepared by means of 7 Newspaper manufacture company in Korea, and were tested by IGT printability tester. The results of this experiments showed that the rate of ink penetration, roughness and porosity are proportioned. While, ink penetration, paper formation, ash content and smoothness of paper are in inverse proportioned.

Magnesia partially stabilized zirconia(Mg-PSZ) solid electrolytes for an improvement of thermal shock resistance, which is suitable for the measurement of oxygen activity in a molten steel, were prepared by post-thermal aging treatment. The steelmaking oxygen sensor elements were formed by an injection molding method, sintered at $1650^{\circ}C$, and then thermal aged ranged from 1250 to $1400^{\circ}C$. Sintered density and porosity were decreased as increasing the magnesia content in a zirconia-magnesia solid solution. Fractions of cubic phase to the synthesized Mg-PSZ solid electrolytes were ranged from 13.13 to 79.54.% after post-thermal aging treatment. Very dense microstructure without voids in the grains was obtained by the post-thermal aging process. Fine tetragonal phase crystallites precipitated on the cubic surface during post-thermal aging up to $1300^{\circ}C$ improve a thermal shock resistance and reappearance of electro motive force(EMF) curve.

High strength cement composites (W/C=0.1) were prepared by using various blending materials such as SiC whisker and white carbon (hydrated silica: SiO2·nH2O). The effect of various blending materials on the microstructure and strength of the hardened cement paste were investigated in the view of fracture mechanics. The plain specimen showed 101 MPa of flexural strength, 81 GPa of Young's modulus and 1.32 MPam1/2 of fracture toughness. When the blending materials were added to the composites, their values were enhanced to about 110∼138 MPa, 95∼146 GPa and 1.32∼1.87MPam1/2 respectively. The improvement of the mechanical strength for the hardened cement paste may be due to the removal of macropores, the reduction of total porosity, pozzolanic reaction and the increase of various fracture toughening effect.

Alumina were added to ceria based ceramic powders upto 9.7 vol% and composite powders were sprayed by plasma spraying process in order to improve the mechanical properties such as hardness fracture tough-ness and thermal shock resistance. The ceria based coating sprayed without alumina has the typical colum-nar and lamellar structure. Alumina addition has lowered the amount of columnar and lamellar sturcture Added alumina was segreagated in the grain boundary and grain of ceria based crystal accompanied with pore. The maximum value of density and the minimum value of porosity were observed at the sprayed coating with 4.8 vol% alumina. The hardness fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance were increased with alumina addition. The improvement of mechanical properties of plasma sparyed ceria based coatings result-ed from the disapperance of the columnar and lamellar sturcture by addition of alumina.

This study is interested in manufacturing the concrete surface impregnants including tetra ethyl ortho silicate, alkali silicate for the repair of the exposed concrete and the color concrete requiring the advanced function in view of the concrete appearance. The surface layer change and porosity properties was tested for the review of application. The result of this study show that the effective silicate are tetra ethyl ortho silicate and alkali silicate t. The adhesion in tension is slightly increased but the reinforcement of concrete substrate is slight. So, the concrete impregnant of this study is more desirable for the improvement of durability rather than the reinforcement.
