A time-domain simulation of a land-based Oscillating Water Column (OWC) with various irregular waves as a form of PM spectrum is performed by using a two-dimensional fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT) based on the potential theory, mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) approach, and boundary element method. The nonlinear free-surface condition inside the OWC chamber was specially devised to describe both the pneumatic effect of the time-varying pressure and the viscous energy loss due to water column motions. The quadratic models for pneumatic pressure and viscous loss are applied to the air and free surface inside the chamber, and their numerical results are compared with those with equivalent linear ones. Various wave spectra are applied to the OWC system to predict the efficiency of wave-energy take-off for various wave conditions. The cases of regular and irregular waves are also compared.

Silk fibroin (SF) was dissolved in calcium chloride/ethanol/water mixture(1/2/8 in mole ratio) at $70^{\circ}C$ for 4h. The dissolved silk fibroin was regenerated by casting the dialyzed solution into films. The films were treated with 50% aqueous solution of methanol for different times, and their antithrombogenicity was evaluated by in vivo tests. In vivo blood tests were made by a method of peripheral vein indwelling suture. It was found that the silk fibroin had a good antithrombogenicity and an absorbability even though the polymer showed foreign body reaction. Finally, the blood compatibilty of silk fibroin films which were subjected to structural change by the methoanl treatment, was examined in connection with their interfacial surface energy, and a correlation between these properties was found to be present.

본 연구에서는 동일한 표면 형태를 가지는 탄소섬유에 다양한 사이징제를 처리함에 따라 발생하는 에폭 시 수지의 유동 특성 변화를 분석하였다. 동적 접촉각(DCA) 측정을 통해 단일 탄소섬유의 젖음성(Wettability)을 측정하였다. DCA 측정 결과와 함침 특성 간의 연관성을 살피기 위해 Wicking test와 VARTM test를 수행하였다. 추가적으로, 탄소섬유의 표면 에너지 등 다양한 표면 특성을 분석하였으며 Micro-droplet test를 통해 수지와 탄소섬유계면의 계면전단강도를 측정하였다. 이러한 실험 결과를 기반으로, 함침 속도의 증대를 위해서는 탄소섬유의 사이징제가 적정 수준의 표면 에너지를 가져야 하며, 사이징제의 화학적 조성을 조정하여 에폭시 수지의 유동 특성과 계면전단강도가 모두 개선 가능함을 확인하였다.

오존 처리된 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (LDPE) 필름의 표면 작용기와 표면 자유에너지에 대하여 고찰하였다. 오존 표면처리 조건을 각각 처리시간, 오존 생산량, 그리고 오존의 농도로 변화시켰으며, 오존 처리된 LDPE 필름 표면에 도입된 작용기는 FTIR-ATR과 XPS 분석을 통하여 알아보았다 LDPE 필름의 표면 자유에너지는 접촉각 측정을 통하여 고찰하였다. 실험결과, 오존으로 표면처리된 LDPE 픽름은 표면에 형성된 산소 함유 작용기로 인하여 물 접촉각이 15$^{\circ}$ 정도 감소하였고, 그 결과 표면 자유에너지의 증가및 $O_{IS}$ / $C_{IS}$ 의 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 표면 자유에너지와 산소 함유 작용기는 오존 표면처리 시간과 오존의 농도에 비례하는 관계를 보인 반면, 오존의 총 발생량의 변화는 표면 자유에너지 및 $O_{IS}$ / $C_{IS}$ 의 증가와는 무관하였다. Kubelka-Munk 식을 이용한 염색성 측정 결과로부터, 오존 표면처리는 LDPE 필름 표면에 산소 작용기를 형성시키는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 최종 염기성 염료에의 염색성을 향상시켰다.

In analyzing the nano-scale behavior of nano devices or materials, QC method is efficient because it does not treat all the atoms. But for more accurate analysis in QC method, it is important to consider temperature and surface effects. In finite temperature, free energy is considered instead of potential energy. Because the surface area to volume ratio increases as the length scale of a body decreases, the surface effects are more dominant. In this paper, temperature related Cauchy-Born rule and surface Cauchy-Born rule are proposed to configurate the strain energy density. This method is applied to small and homogeneous deformation in two dimensional problem using finite element simulation.

Surface modification by low-pressure ammonia ($NH_3$) plasma on commercial thin-film composite (TFC) membranes was investigated in this study. Surface hydrophilicity, total surface free energy, ion exchange capacity (IEC) and zeta (${\zeta}$)-potentials were determined for the TFC membranes. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the membrane surface chemistry were conducted by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) spectroscopy. Results showed that the $NH_3$ plasma treatment increased the surface hydrophilicity, in particular at a plasma treatment time longer than 5 min at 50 W of plasma power. Total surface free energy was influenced by the basic polar components introduced by the $NH_3$ plasma, and isoelectric point (IEP) was shifted to higher pH region after the modification. A ten (10) min $NH_3$ plasma treatment at 90 W was found to be adequate for the TFC membrane modification, resulting in a membrane with better characteristics than the TFC membranes without the modification for water treatment. The thin-film chemistry (i.e., fully-aromatic and semi-aromatic nature in the interfacial polymerization) influenced the initial stage of plasma modification.

The excimer laser ablation of a polymer occurs by the excitation of chemical bonds to energy levels that are above the dissociation energy. In this process, however, fragmented debris is finally ejected explosively by the scission of bonds and accumulates on the material surface. In the present work, a process for eliminating surface debris contamination generated by the laser ablation of a polymer is developed. The proposed approach for removing surface debris utilizes an erasable ink pasted on a polymide. The ink pasted polyimide is ablated by KrF excimer laser. The surface debris ejected from the polyimide is then combined with the ink layer on the polymer. Finally, both the surface debris and the ink layer are removed using adhesive tape or alcohol solvent. The results suggest that the erasable ink method is a simple, low cost, and extremely effective debris eliminating process.

A two-dimensional time-domain, potential-theory-based fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT) was developed by using boundary element method and the mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) approach for free-surface node treatment. The NWT was applied to prediction of primary wave energy conversion efficiency of a bottom-mounted oscillating water column (OWC) wave power device. The nonlinear free-surface condition inside the chamber was specially devised to represent the pneumatic pressure due to airflow velocity and viscous energy loss at the chamber entrance due to wave column motion. The newly developed NWT technique was verified through comparison with given experimental results. The maximum energy extraction was estimated with various chamber-air duct volume ratios.

A floating Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy converter, a Backward Bent Duct Buoy (BBDB), was simulated using a state-of-the-art, two-dimensional, fully-nonlinear Numerical Wave Tank (NWT) technique. The hydrodynamic performance of the floating OWC device was evaluated in the time domain. The acceleration potential method, with a full-updated kernel matrix calculation associated with a mode decomposition scheme, was implemented to obtain accurate estimates of the hydrodynamic force and displacement of a freely floating BBDB. The developed NWT was based on the potential theory and the boundary element method with constant panels on the boundaries. The mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) approach was employed to capture the nonlinear free surfaces inside the chamber that interacted with a pneumatic pressure, induced by the time-varying airflow velocity at the air duct. A special viscous damping was applied to the chamber free surface to represent the viscous energy loss due to the BBDB's shape and motions. The viscous damping coefficient was properly selected using a comparison of the experimental data. The calculated surface elevation, inside and outside the chamber, with a tuned viscous damping correlated reasonably well with the experimental data for various incident wave conditions. The conservation of the total wave energy in the computational domain was confirmed over the entire range of wave frequencies.
