In this work, the reduced graphene nanosheets were synthesized from pre-exfoliated graphite flakes. The pristine graphite flakes were firstly pre-exfoliated to graphite nanoplatelets in the presence of acetic acid. The obtained graphite nanoplatelets were treated by Hummer's method to produce graphite oxide sheets and were finally exfoliated to graphene nanosheets by ultrasonication and reduction processes. The prepared graphene nanosheets were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). From the results, it was found that the preexfoliation process showed significant influence on preparation of graphite oxide sheets and graphene nanosheets. The prepared graphene nanosheets were applied to the preparation of conductive materials, which yielded a greatly improved electrical resistance of $200{\Omega}/sq$.

A simple method for exfoliating pristine graphite to yield mono-, bi-, and multi-layers of graphene sheets as a highly concentrated (5.25 mg/mL) and yielded solution in an organic solvent was developed. Pre-thermal treatment of pristine graphite at $900^{\circ}C$ in a sealed stainless steel bath under high pressures, followed by sonication in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone solvent at elevated temperatures, produced a homogeneous, well-dispersed, and non-oxidized graphene solution with a low defect density. The electrical conductivities of the graphene sheets were very high, up to 848 S/cm. These graphene sheets were used to fabricate graphene-polyimide nanocomposites, which displayed a higher electrical conductivity (1.37 S/m) with an improved tensile strength (95 MPa). The synthesized graphene sheets and nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.

In-situ observation in SBM on the microfracture behavior of coating layer was performed for GA steel sheets that have various Fe contents and thickness of coating layer. In case of cross sectional side of coating layer that was in a tensile stress state during bending, fine perpendicular crack pre-induced during galvannealing grew and propagated rapidly toward the coating surface with the increase of strain. And then it grew and propagated along the ${\Gamma}/Fe$ matrix interface, and combined with the nearest another perpendicular crack. Consequently, flaking occurred. The more Fe content and thickness of coating layer increased, the more average crack interval and flaking resistivity increased. Exfoliation was little observed at coating surface in a tensile stress state.

The amount of granite distribution area occupies about 40 - 50% of Korean Peninsula. The granite irregularly Intruded through preCambrian to Tertiary times but in Jurassic time so called, Daebo granite most widely crops out in Korean Peninsula. In addition to Bulkuksa Grante which intruded at Cretaceous time crops out at the southern part of Korean Peninsula and in northern part Triassic Songrim Granite is distributed. These granites have equigranular texture and are relatively isotropic. Their uniaxial compressive strength is above $1,500kg/cm^2$ and also seismic velocity is over 2,000m/sec. When these rocks receive a weathering action, the feldspar weathers first and the quartz grains remain plentifully to make the "Masato(Korean name)". Also when the granite receives a weathering action, quite often it make sheeting joint which is topographically parallel to the earth surface and also make a (so called, onion structure. These weathering phenomena easily make a land sliding when it is heavy rain and weathering surface is irregular.

The approach studied in the present work produced an exfoliated state of clay layers via confinement of the charged nano-sized polystyrene (PS) beads within the gallery of swollen pristine clay. It was demonstrated that adsorption of the polymer nanobeads dramatically promotes expansion of the clay gallery. A comparative study of incorporation was conducted by employing organo-modified clay along with two different colloid polymer systems: electrostatically stabilized PS nanobeads and cationic monomer-grafted PS nanobeads. The mechanism of adsorption of the monomer-grafted polymer beads onto clay via cationic exchange between the alkyl ammonium group of the polymer nanobeads and the interlayer sodium cation of the layered silicate was verified by using several techniques. As distinct from the polymer nanobeads formed using conventional miniemulsion polymerization method, competitive adsorption of stabilizing surfactant molecules was be prevented by grafting the surface functional groups into the polymer chain, thereby supporting the observed effective adsorption of the polymer beads. The presence of surface functional groups that support the establishment of strong polymer-clay interactions was suggested to improve the compatibility of the clay with the polymer matrix and eventually play a crucial role in the performance of the final nanocomposites.

The purpose of this study is to review foreign scenic inventory map for the systematic management of natural scenic resources. Several foreign cases were surveyed and analyzed to apply the scenery inventory map in domestic, such as Visual Resource Management(VRM) from United States Bureau of Land Management, Scenery Management System(SMS) from USDA Forest Service and Visual Landscape Inventory(VLI) from British Columbia Ministry of Forest's, that were already established scenery inventory maps. The results are as follows. First, the characteristic of Korean landscape is quite a different from those of north american's, which is much smaller and more complex in topography and land use. So, it would be difficult to apply foreign system directly and we need more researches to our own system. The multi-stepped landscape unit system is highly recommended. Second, scenic quality could be estimated by the pre-built database, such as land forms, vegetation, hydrology and land uses. Historical and cultural attributes should be complemented. Third, existing scenic integrity could be grasped by scenic damage, landscape alteration caused by human activities and land exfoliation. Also, subjective evaluation method should be supplemented by objective criteria through further detailed studies. Finally, about landscape view conditions, landscape control points should be surveyed and established in advance, and viewing distance, viewing frequency, amount of observers and public interests should be considered.

유구 이전의 안정성은 현재 개발되어 사용되고 있는 반수용성 우레탄 1 차 전사체와 2 차 최종 에폭시 생성물의 우수한 물성으로 볼 때, 박리제의 물성과 박리성에 의해 좌우된다. 본 연구에서는 계면활성제를 사용하지 않은 세 가지 형태의 자기분산형 박리제를 합성하여 이들이 나타내는 박리성과 물성, 박리 후의 상태에 대하여 연구하고자 하였다. 이 수용성 자기 분산형 에폭시의 그 간의 박리제에서 문제시 되었던 지속 기간을 5 시간에서 60 일 이상으로 개선하였으며, 30% 수용화 이상에서 안정한 박리성을 보이고 있고, 건조 전후의 표면 색도의 변화도 없었다. 계면활성화제를 사용한 박리제와 비슷한 결과로 박리압을 나타내어 15~50 kg/$cm^2$을 나타내고 있으며, 저점도의 폴리머 사용 시, 고형분의 함량을 높이더라도 백화 현상이 발생하지 않아 저점도형 박리제로 사용이 가능한 것으로 보인다.

A low cost environmentally benign surface coating binder is highly desirable in the field of material science. In this report, castor oil based hyperbranched polyester/bitumen modified fly ash nanocomposites were fabricated to achieve the desired performance. The hyperbranched polyester resin was synthesized by a three-step one pot condensation reaction using monoglyceride of castor oil based carboxyl terminated pre-polymer and 2,2-bis (hydroxymethyl) propionic acid. Also, the bulk fly ash of paper industry waste was converted to hydrophilic nano fly ash by ultrasonication followed by transforming it to an organonano fly ash by the modification with bitumen. The synthesized polyester resin and its nanocomposites were characterized by different analytical and spectroscopic tools. The nanocomposite obtained in presence of 20 wt% styrene (with respect to polyester) was found to be more homogeneous and stable compared to nanocomposite without styrene. The performance in terms of tensile strength, impact resistance, scratch hardness, chemical resistance and thermal stability was found to be improved significantly after formation of nanocomposite compared to the pristine system after curing with bisphenol-A based epoxy and poly(amido amine). The overall results of transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis and performance showed good exfoliation of the nano fly ash in the polyester matrix. Thus the studied nanocomposites would open up a new avenue on development of low cost high performing surface coating materials.

경상북도 군위군 부계면 동산리에 위치한 팔공산 도립공원의 한 등산로에는 '북바위'라 불리는 화강암질 암체가 존재한다. 이 암체에서는 특정 부위를 타격했을 때 북과 같은 타악기에서 발생하는 공명음과 유사한 공명 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 소리를 발생시키는 공명 현상의 지질학적 원인으로는 화강암 생성 과정에서 내부 기체가 빠져나가면서 형성된 공동이 존재할 가능성과 생성 이후 지질학적으로 오랜 기간 동안 겪은 풍화 작용에 의한 박리 현상에 기인할 가능성이 있다. 이 연구에서는 북바위 화강암체에서 공명을 일으키는 내부구조를 보다 정밀하게 파악하기 위하여 비파괴 탐사기법인 지하투과레이더 탐사를 수행하였다. 지하투과레이더 탐사 기법은 수 MHz에서 수 GHz범위의 고주파 레이더 신호를 탐사 대상의 표면에서 내부로 투과시켜 물성의 변화 혹은 불연속면이 존재하는 곳에서 반사되는 반사파들의 진폭을 기록하여 해석한다. 화강암체 최외곽 표면에 존재할 것으로 추정되는 내부구조를 영상화하는 것이 연구 목표이므로 탐사 심도는 얕지만 고해상도 자료 획득이 가능한 1 GHz 레이더를 이용하였다. 3차원 내부구조 영상화를 위하여 암체 표면에 격자를 구성하여 탐사를 수행하였다. 탐사 자료 해석 결과 북소리와 같은 공명이 일어나는 지점들에서 강한 반사 레이더파가 관찰되었으며, 위치에 따라 균열과 공동에서의 반사파 특징이 모두 관찰되었다. 또한 공명이 가장 크게 일어나는 지점에서 두 불연속면이 교차하면서 만들어진 공동 구조가 관찰되었다. 주어진 균열 구조를 반영하는 수치 모델을 적용하여 계산한 결과, 공명 현상에는 화강암의 박리 작용에 의한 균열과 암석 생성 당시의 미아롤리틱 구조가 함께 기여한 것으로 보인다. 이와 같이 일반 대중의 흥미를 유발하는 지질 구조체에 대한 비파괴 탐사 기반의 영상화 연구 활동은 지구과학 대중화에 많은 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
