The sealing technique between a glass tube and a copper heat pipe in an evacuated tube solar collector is studied. In this study two different sealing techniques, such as flame method and furnace firing, are examined. After the sealing of a copper to a glass, the oxidation state of the copper and its bonding morphology were examined by SEM and XRD. Its oxidation was retarded by coating of borate solution on the copper, and $Cu_2O(cuprite)$ turned into CuO(tenorite) with increase in a firing temperature and firing time. Porous structure was found in the oxide layer when CuO formed. The best sealing morphology was observed when the thickness of the oxidation layer was less than $20{\mu}m$. The sealing technique performed in a furnace was promising and the satisfactory result was obtained when the sample was fired at $950^{\circ}C$ for 5 min under $N_2$ atmosphere. Annealing procedure is recommended to remove the stress left at the bonding zone.

DSSC (dye-sensitized solar cell) is expected to be one of the next-generation photovoltaics because of its environment-friendly and low-cost properties. However, commercialization of DSSC is difficult because of the electrolyte leakage. We propose thermal curable base on silicon resin and apply a unit cell and large area ($200{\times}200mm$) dye-sensitized solar cell. The resin aimed at sealing of DSSC and gives a promising resolution for sealing of practical DSSC. In result, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the unit cell and the module was 6.63% and 5.49%, respectively. In the durability test result, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the module during 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 hours was 0.73%, 0.73%, 1.82% and 2.36% respectively. It was confirmed that the photoelectric conversion efficiency characteristics are constant. We have developed encapsulation material of thermal curing method excellent in chemical resistance. A sealing material was applied to the dye-sensitized solar cell and it solved the problem of durability the dye-sensitized solar cell. Sealing material may be applied to verify the possibility of practical application of the dye-sensitized solar cell.

The glass edge sealing is one of the vacuum glazing core manufacturing process and it needs the high reliability for the vacuum keeping. Conventionally, the glass edge sealing had been being researched by the method that pasted the flit on the glass edge part and bonded two sheets of glass. But this way has the defect that can't make tempered glass. In order to remedy it's faults, in this paper, the glass edge was sealed by using the hydrogen mixture gas torch within the furnace. The parameter having an effect on the glass edge sealing through the basic test was set. And the correlation of the thickness of the glass edge and parameter were analyzed through the design of experiment. By using the Taguchi method, the optimal process condition for the glass edge sealing was drawn and the validity was verified.

Tubing adapter is a key connection device in Gas-Tight Deep-Sea Water Sampler (GTWS). The sealing performance of the tubing adapter directly affects the GTWS's overall gas tightness. Tubing adapters with good sealing performance can ensure the transmission of seawater samples without gas leakage and can be repeatedly used. However, the sealing performance of tubing adapters made of different materials was not studied sufficiently. With the research discussed in this paper, the materials match schemes of the tubing adapters were proposed. With non-linear finite element contact analysis and sea trials in the South China Sea, it is expected that the recommended materials match schemes not only meet the requirements of tubing adapters' sealing performance but also provide the feasible options for the following research on tubing adapters in GTWS.

Half-beads of multi-layer-steel cylinder head gaskets take charge of sealing of lubrication oil and coolant between the cylinder head and the block. Since the head lifts off periodically due to the combustion gas pressure, both the dynamic sealing performance and the fatigue durability are essential for the gasket. A finite element model of the halfbead has been developed and verified with experimental data. The half-bead forming process was included in the model to consider the residual stress effects. The model is employed to assess the dependence of the sealing performance and the fatigue durability on the design parameters of half-bead such as the width and height of bead and the flat region length. The assessment results show that the sealing performance can be enhanced without significant deterioration of the fatigue durability in a certain range of the half-bead width. In the other cases the improvement of sealing performance is accompanied by the loss of the fatigue durability. Among three parameters, the bead width has the strongest influence.

Currently, dental implants are widely used as artificial teeth due to their good chewing performance and long life cycle. Generally, a dental implant consists of an abutment as the upper part and a fixture as the lower part. When chewing forces are repeatedly applied to a dental implant, a gap is often generated at the interfacial surface between the abutment and the fixture, and it results in some deterioration such as loosening of the fastening screw, dental retraction and fixture fracture. To enhance the sealing performance for coping with such problems, this study proposes a new sealing-type abutment having a number of grooves along the conical surface circumference, and it carries out finite element analysis in consideration of the external chewing force and pretension between the abutment and the fixture. The result shows that the proposed sealing-type abutment shows an enhanced sealing performance in terms of the contact pressure in comparison with a conventional abutment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing properties of endodontic cavity filling materials according to the time intervals after filling. Access cavities were prepared in extracted human premolar or molar teeth and filled with caviton, zinc oxide eugenol cement, zinc oxide eugenol cement with a base of gutta percha stopping and gutta percha stopping. After filling at the intervals of immediate, 2 days and 2 weeks the teeth were immersed for 2 weeks in 1% methylene blue solutions. Longitudinal sections were obtained from approximately center of teeth and the depth of dye penetration into the access cavities were observed by 10${\times}$macrolens. The following results were obtained. I. All the materials experimented showed varying depth of dye penetration. 2. Of the material tested, caviton showed the best marginal sealing qualities regardless of the time intervals after filling and the sealing properties of the gutta percha stopping was the worst. 3. Both in zinc oxide eugenol cement and zinc oxide eugenol cement with a base of gutta percha stopping, the fillings allowed to mature for 2 days in normal saline solution showed the best sealing properties and those with no maturing time revealed the worst sealing qualities. 4. The sealing qualities of zinc oxide eugenol cement with a base of gutta percha stopping revealed slightly lower depth of dye penetration than that of zinc oxide eugenol cements.

Effects of sealant and sealing procedure on corrosion resistance of high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) sprayed coatings were studied. HVOF-sprayed CrC-20NiCr coatings were sealed using three commercial sealants based on phenolics and epoxy. Penetration depth of sealants, measured by fluorescent microscope technique, was between $19{\mu}m$ and $340{\mu}m$ depending on sealant, sealing condition or sealing procedure. It was found that sealing on rotation status was more effective than that on stationary specimen due to the Coriolis effect of fluid in pores of the coating. From the CASS results, corrosion resistance of properly sealed CrC-20NiCr coatings was equal to that of hexa-valent chromium plating.

콘크리트 표면에 발생된 균열은 구조물의 수명에 영향을 미치는 주요원인으로 작용하기 때문에 주기적인 검사와 유지관리가 필요하다. 콘크리트 표면 유지관리를 위한 실링작업은 표면에 발생된 균열을 초기에 보수하는 방법으로 시간 경과에 따른 균열의 추가생성 및 확산을 방지하는데 효과적이다. 하지만, 교량 하부의 실링작업은 열악한 작업환경으로 인하여 작업자들의 안전성 확보에 문제가 있다. 이런 이유로, 콘크리트 구조물의 유지관리를 위한 실링자동화의 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 논문은 콘크리트 교량 하부에 발생된 균열의 실링작업에 로봇을 적용하기 위한 두 가지 제어방법에 대하여 제안한다. 하나는, 균열의 궤적을 자동으로 추적하는 방법이다. 로봇은 카메라로부터 취득되는 영상정보로 균열의 궤적을 파악하는데, 이전 시점의 궤적 정보를 통하여 다음 이동할 시점의 정보를 유추할 수 있다면, 실시간으로 변동되는 궤적 정보에 대응이 가능하면서 자동으로 균열을 추적할 수 있다. 다른 하나는 접촉면에 일정한 힘을 유지하여 실링하는 방법이다. 장기간 외부 환경에 노출된 거친 표면에서도 로봇이 일정한 접촉력을 유지하며 실링작업을 수행한다면, 균등한 완성도를 유지할 수 있다. 이러한 균일한 힘의 유지를 위하여 임피던스를 이용한 힘 제어 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 실링 로봇에 적용하기 위하여 개발한 두 가지 제어기법들을 소개하고, 그것을 적용한 Lab Test와 Field Test를 수행한다. 이 시험결과를 토대로 로봇의 현장적용에 대한 의견을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 배관을 연결하기 위해 사용한 탄성접촉시일의 밀봉접촉응력과 변형거동 특성을 다루고 있다. 본 연구에서 배관을 연결하기 위해 체결너트와 탄성접촉시일 사이에 가해진 밀봉압축 간섭량은 0.2~0.5mm이다. 탄성접촉시일을 압축하기 위한 밀봉 간섭량은 두 개의 배관을 하나의 너트로 체결하는 과정에 발생한다. FEM 해석결과에 의하면, 경사진 밀봉표면을 갖는 접촉모델 1의 접촉수직응력은 평행한 밀봉표면을 갖는 접촉모델 2의 접촉수직응력에 비해 1.5~1.75배나 높게 나타났다. 이것은 배관과 배관을 연결하는 밀봉접촉표면이 높은 밀봉압축응력을 얻을 수 있도록 하기 위해 쇄기형상의 접촉모드를 형성하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있다.
