In preparative anti-corrosive coating experiments, polyaniline was obtained by reacting an oxidizing agent with the monomer aniline. Further, the primer coating was prepared using a variety of widely-used materials such as urethane resin. For the top coating, epoxy resin and acrylic urethane resin were used. Characteristics of the coatings were assessed according to KS and ASTM specifications, and the structure of the polyaniline was characterized using FT-IR and TGA. For analysis of anti-corrosive properties in salt-spray experiments, measurements of the oxidation state of iron and surface atomic analysis were conducted using XPS and SEM-EDX. Unlike general anti-corrosive coatings which exhibit anti-corrosive effects only as a primer coating, the anti-corrosive coatings using polyaniline as the anti-corrosive pigment showed a marked synergistic effect with the top coatings. In other words, the top coatings not only produce a fine view effect, but also increase, through interaction with the primer coatings, the resistance to diffusion of corrosive factors from the external environment. It was also found that, unlike the heavy metal oxide-forming layer of the passive barrier alone, the polyaniline anti-corrosive pigment oxidized iron at the interface with the iron substrate to form a passive barrier in the oxidic layer, and itself formed a potential barrier layer with anti-corrosive factors from the external environment. Although the passive layer was damaged, the damaged area did not become completely oxidized iron; on the contrary, it showed a tendency to reduction. This can be interpreted such that a passive layer is formed again on the damaged area, and that at the same time there is a tendency to self-healing.

LNG지하저장 핵심기술 중 하나인 ice ring 형성을 열-수리 역학 해석을 통해 분석하였다. ice ring은 극저온물질의 누출에 대한 이차방벽 역할과 지하수의 저장공동 침투에 대한 일차방벽역할을 수행한다. 따라서 ice ring의 두께와 위치는 콘크리트와 PU foam 및 멤브레인으로 구성된 일차방호재의 무결성 유지에 있어서 핵심인자가 된다. 수치해석을 통해 이러한 ice ring의 위치와 두께를 추정하였으며 온도와 지하수위 결과를 계측치와 비교하였다. 수치해석결과는 PU foam 열전도도의 온도의존성과 지하수의 상변화를 고려한 경우 파일럿 공동에서 측정한 계측치와 잘 일치하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 수치해석 기법은 실규모 저장시설의 설계에 있어서 ice ring 형성을 모델링하는 데에 바로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 현장타설 콘크리트를 사용하는 친환경 에코필라 사방댐의 시공성과 경제성을 향상시키기 위해 프리캐스트공법을 제안하고 성능검증을 수행하였다. 강재를 이용한 사방댐 형식은 공사비가 높고 부식으로 인한 환경문제도 발생하고 있어, 최근에는 콘크리트를 이용한 친환경 사방댐의 설치가 늘고 있다. 그러나 국내에서 사방댐 설계기준으로 명확하게 제시된 자료가 없어 경험적으로 설계되고 있을 뿐 아니라 에코필라 사방댐에 대한 기준은 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 에코필라 사방댐의 설계외력 산정방법에 대해 제안하고 중공트랙형 단면을 적용하여 설계를 수행하였다. 또한, 구조적으로 비교적 간단한 캔틸레버 기둥으로 최대 휨모멘트가 작용하며 프리캐스트 공법의 핵심기술이라 할 수 있는 연결부 공법을 3가지로 제안하고 실물모형 실험을 통해 성능검증을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 루프철근 이음을 적용한 실험체가 가장 큰 강성을 보였고 앵커철근으로 연결된 실험체가 작은 값을 보였으나, 제시된 3가지 형태의 연결공법은 모두 극한하중에 따른 최대 휨모멘트를 충분히 넘어서는 성능을 나타내었다. 실물 실험체의 제작과정에서 각 공법에 대한 시공성에 대해 검토한 결과 앵커식 연결방법이 가장 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 높은 효율과 낮은 제조비용, 높은 신뢰성으로 인해 박막 태양전지 중 가장 각광받고 있다. 특히 유리기판 대신 가볍고 유연한 철강소재나 플라스틱 소재를 이용하여 발전분야 외에 건물일체형, 수송용, 휴대용등 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능하다. 이러한 유연 기판을 이용한 CIGS 태양전지의 개발을 위해서는 기판의 특성에 따른 다양한 공정개발이 선행되어야 한다. 특히 CIGS 태양전지에서는 Na의 역할이 매우 중요한데 유연기판의 경우 이러한 Na이 없을 뿐만 아니라 철강기판의 경우 Fe, Ni, Cr등의 불순물이 확산되어 흡수층의 특성을 저하시켜 효율을 감소시킨다. 따라서 이러한 철강 기판의 경우 불순물의 확산을 방지하는 확산방지막이 필수적이다. 또한 플라스틱기판의 경우 내열성이 낮아 저온에서 공정을 진행해야하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 유연기판의 특성을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 유연기판으로 STS 430 stainless steel과 poly-imide를 이용하여 특성 개선을 진행하였다. 먼저 stainless steel과 Poly-imide, soda-lime glass, coning glass의 기판을 이용하여 기판에 따른 흡수층의 특성을 비교 분석하였으며 stainless steel 기판을 이용하여 확산 방지막의 유무 및 두께에 따른 흡수층 및 소자의 특성을 분석하였다. 이때 확산 방지막은 기존 TCO 공정에서 사용되는 i-ZnO를 사용하였으며 RF sputter를 이용하여 50~200nm로 두께를 달리하며 특성 비교를 실시하였다. 이때 효율은 확산방지막을 적용하지 않았을 때 약 5.9%에서 확산 방지막 적용시 약 10.6%로 증가하였다. 또한 poly-imide 기판을 이용하여 $400^{\circ}C$이하에서 흡수층을 제조하여 특성평가를 진행하였으며 소자 제조 후 효율은 약 12.2%를 달성하였다. 모든 흡수층은 Co-Evaporation 방법을 이용하여 제조하였으며 제조된 흡수층은 SEM, XRF, XRD, GD-OES, PL, Raman등을 이용하여 분석하였으며 그 외 일반적인 방법을 이용하여 Mo, CdS, TCO, Al grid를 제조하였다. AR 코팅은 제외 하였으며 제조된 소자는 솔라 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 효율 특성 분석을 실시하였으며 Q.E. 분석을 실시하였다.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) has attracted attention as a surface treatment which has high wear resistance and corrosion resistance. PEO is generally considered as cost-effective, environmentally friendly and superior in terms of coating performance. Most of studies about the PEO processes have been applied to light metals such as Al and Mg. Because the strength of Al and Mg is weaker than that of steel, there is a limit to the application. In this study, PEO process was used to form oxide coatings on Hot dipped aluminized(HDA) steel and the characteristics of the coating film according to the PEO current density were studied. The morphology was observed by SEM and component was analyzed by using EDS. The corrosion behaviors of PEO coating films were estimated by exposing salt spray test at 5 wt.% NaCl solution and measuring polarization curves in deaerated 3 wt.% NaCl solution. With the increase of PEO process current density, the pore size of the coating surface and the thickness of coating increased. It was confirmed that no Fe component was present on the coating surface. PEO coating films obviously showed good corrosion resistance compared with HDA. It is considered that the PEO coating acts as a barrier to protect the base material from external factors causing corrosion.

철근콘크리트내의 염분침투저항성을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 다양한 철근 방청 코팅기법이 개발되어져왔다. 이와 관련된 가장 일반적인 방법으로서는 방청철근의 사용, 시멘트 슬러리 코팅 및 폴리머계 복합수지를 사용한 철근 코팅 및 에폭시 코팅등을 들 수 있다. 여기서 폴리머계 시멘트 코팅이 철근의 부동태 피막 및 장벽보호를 동시에 꾀함과는 달리 시멘트 슬러리 코팅의 경우는 철근의 부동태 보호에, 에폭시 코팅의 경우는 철근의 장벽보호에 주 목적을 두고 있다. 더욱이 에폭시코팅의 경우는 시공상의 오차로 인해 철근의 비부착 문제를 일으키게 되며 이는 국부부식의 위험을 증대시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 철근-콘크리트 계면에서, 최대 20%의 수산화칼슘의 증가를 통한 방청기법이 적용되어졌다. 수산화칼슘의 경우 높은 pH저하저항성을 가지고 있어 염해부식환경에 대해 알칼리성 환경이 유지하도록 하는 역할을 한다. 본 논문은 철근/콘크리트 계면에서의 pH 저하 저항성의 향상 방안으로서, 수산화칼슘의 첨가에 따른 철근 방청코팅의 향상 효과를 시험하였다. 또한 수산화칼슘을 혼입한 폴리머 코팅의 염화물임계치 (CTL)에 관해서도 비교분석을 하였다.

Due to various types of Zn coatings for many decades for various applications, it is imperative to study and compare their corrosion resistance properties of some of these. Here, we introduce a systematic methodology for evaluation and validation of corrosion protection properties of metallic coatings. According to this methodology, samples are were exposed in an advanced cyclic corrosion test chamber according to ISO 14993, and removed at the end of each withdrawal for respective corrosion and electrochemical characterization to evaluate both barrier and galvanic protection properties. Corrosion protection properties of coatings were evaluated by visual examination according to ISO 10289, mass loss and subsequent corrosion rate measurements, electrochemical properties, and advanced electrochemical scanning techniques. In this study, corrosion protection properties of a commercial zinc rich coating (ZRC) on AISI 1020 mild steel substrates were evaluated and benchmarked against hot dip galvanized (HDG). Results were correlated, and corrosion protection capabilities of the two coatings were compared. The zinc rich coating performed better than hot dip galvanized coating in terms of overall corrosion protection properties, according to the exposure and experimental conditions used in this study. It proved to be a suitable candidate to replace hot dip galvanized coatings for desired applications.

Flexible opto-electronic devices are developed on the insulating layer deposited stainless steel (STS) substrates. The silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$) material as the diffusion barrier of Fe and Cr atoms in addition to the electrical insulation between the electronic device and STS is processed using the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Noble silver (Ag) films of approximately 100 nm thickness have been formed on $SiO_2$ deposited STS substrates by E-beam evaporation technique. The films then were annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 20 min using the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) technique. It was investigated the variation of the surface morphology due to the interaction between Ag films and $SiO_2$ layers after the RTA treatment. The results showed the movement of Si atoms in silver film from $SiO_2$. In addition, the structural investigation of Ag annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ indicated that the Ag film has the material property of p-type semiconductor and the bandgap of approximately 1 eV. Also, the films annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ showed reflection with sinusoidal oscillations due to optical interference of multiple reflections originated from films and substrate surfaces. Such changes can be attributed to both formation of $SiO_2$ on Ag film surface and agglomeration of silver film between particles due to annealing.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of non-tariff barriers on the Free Trade Agreement. Currently, it has achieved significant export effects by signing free trade agreements with many countries in Korea. However, most countries have implemented non-tariff barriers to protect their industries. This study analyzes the effects of non-tariff barriers in counterpart countries that have signed a free trade agreement. Design/methodology/approach - For analysis, first, prior studies were summarized, and second, the current status of free trade agreements and non-tariff barriers were identified. And, based on the current situation, the relationship between non-tariff barriers and export volume was analyzed. The targets of analysis are the United States, China, and Vietnam, which are Korea's three largest exporters. As for non-tariff barriers, anti-dumping tariffs, countervailing tariffs, and emergency import restrictions were analyzed as import regulatory measures. Findings - In the case of the United States, it can be seen that the decline in textiles, steel and electronics sectors is even greater. In the case of China, it can be seen that exports declined after imposing non-tariff barriers in the steel sector. Finally, it can be seen that exports declined after Vietnam implemented a non-tariff barrier on the steel sector. It was found that non-tariff barriers offset the effects of the Free Trade Agreement. Research implications or Originality - Currently, Korea has free trade agreements with numerous countries. However, after the free trade agreement entered into force, the number of annual average import regulation investigations for Korean products is on the rise. In the end, the implementation of non-tariff barriers is offsetting the effects of free trade agreements. Therefore, when signing a free trade agreement, it is necessary to thoroughly prepare for import regulatory measures such as the insertion of provisions of non-tariff barriers.

The structures of reinforced concrete have been extensively increased with rapid development of industrial society. Futhermore, these reinforced concretes are easy to expose to severe corrosive environments such as seawater, contaminated water, acid rain and seashore etc.. Thus, corrosion problem of steel bar embedded in concrete is very important in terms of safety and economical point of view. In this study, specimens having six different coating thickness (W/C:0.5) were prepared and immersed in flowing seawater for five years to evaluate the effect of coating thickness and immersion time on corrosion property. The polarization characteristics of these embedded steel bars were investigated using electrochemical methods such as corrosion potential, anodic polarization curve, and impedance. At the 20-day immersion, the corrosion potentials exhibited increasingly nobler values with coating thickness. However, after 5-yr. immersion their values were shifted in the negative direction, and the relationship between corrosion potential and coating thickness was not shown. Although 5-yr. immersion lowered corrosion potential, 5-yr. immersion did not increase corrosion rate. In addition, after 5-yr. immersion, the thinner cover thickness, corrosion current density was decreased with thinning coating thickness. It is due to the fact that ease incorporation of water, dissolved oxygen and chloride ion into a steel surface caused corrosion and hence, leaded to the formation of corrosion product. The corrosion product plays the role as a corrosion barrier and increases polarization resistance. The corrosion probability evaluated depending on corrosion potential may not be a good method for predicting corrosion probability. Hence, the parameters including cover thickness and passed aged years as well as corrosion potential is suggested to be considered for better assessment of corrosion probability of reinforced steel exposed to partially or fully in marine environment for long years.
