Halogen free intumescent flame retardants(IFRS), such as the mixture of melamine phosphate(MP) and char forming agents(pentaerythritol(PER), di-pentaerythritol(DiPER), tris(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate(THEIC)), were prepared and characterized. Polypropylene(PP)/$IFR_S$ composites were also prepared in the presence of ethylene diamine phosphate(EDAP) as a synergist and used into flame retardant PP powder coatings. Thermoplastic PP powder coatings at 20 wt% flame retardant loading were manufactured by extruded and then mechanical cryogenic crushed to bring them in fine powder form. These intumescent flame retardant powder coatings($IFRPC_S$) were applied on mild steel surface for the purpose of protection and decorative. It is a process in which a $IFRPC_S$ particles coming in contact with the preheated mild steel surface melt and form a thin coating layer. The obtained MP flame retardant was analyzed by utilizing FTIR, solid-state $^{31}P$ NMR, ICP, EA and PSA. The mechanical properties as tensile strength, melt flow index(MFI) and the thermal property as TGA/DTA and the fire safety characteristics as limiting oxygen index(LOI), UL94 test, SEM were used to investigate the effect of $IFRPC_S$. The experimental results show that the presence of $IFR_S$ considerably enhanced the fire retardant performances as evidenced by the increase of LOI values 17.3 vol% and 32.6 vol% for original PP and $IFRPC_S$-3(PP/MP-DiPER/EDAP), respectively, and a reduction in total flaming combustion time(under 15 sec) in UL94 test of $IFRPC_S$. The prepared $IFRPC_S$-3 have good comprehensive properties with fire retardancy 3.2 mm UL94 V-0 level, LOI value 32.6%, tensile strength $247.3kg/cm^2$, surface roughness Ra $0.78{\mu}m$, showing a better application prospect. Through $IFRPC_S$-2(PP/MP-PER/EDAP) and $IFRPC_S$-3 a better flame retardancy than that of the $IFRPC_S$-1(PP/MP/EDAP) was investigated which was responsible for the formed more dense and compact char layer, improved synergy effect of MP and PER/DiPER.

지난 수년 동안 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu 합금은 전자산업의 표준 무연솔더 조성으로 전자제품의 제작에 사용되어져 왔으며, 그 신뢰성도 충분히 검증되어 대표적인 무연 솔더 조성으로의 입지를 굳혀왔다. 그러나 전자제품의 mobile화에 따른 내충격 신뢰성에 대한 요구와 최근의 급격한 Ag 가격의 상승은 Ag 함량의 축소에 의한 원가절감을 요청하게 되었으며, 이에 따라 소량의 Ag를 함유하는 솔더 조성 개발에 대한 연구가 산업 현장을 중심으로 절실히 요청되고 있다. Sn-Ag-Cu의 3원계 함긍에서 Ag는 합금의 융점을 낮추고, 강도와 같은 합금의 기계적 특성을 증가시키는 한편, 모재에 대한 합금의 젖음성을 향상시키는데 필수적인 원소로 인식되고 있다. 따라서 Sn-Ag-Cu의 3원계 함금에서 Ag의 함량을 감소시키게 되면, 합금액 액상선 온도와 고상선 온도가 벌어져 pasty range(또는 mush zone)가 증가하게 되고, wettability도 감소하게 되어 솔더 합금으로서의 요구 특성을 많이 상실하게 된다. 또한 Ag 함량을 감소시키게 되면 합금의 elongation이 향상되면서 내 impact 수명이 향상되는 효과를 볼 수 있으나, 합금의 creep 특성 및 기계적인 강도는 감소하면서 열싸이클링 수명은 감소하는 경향을 나타내게 된다. 따라서 솔더 합금의 내 impact 수명과 열싸이클링 수명을 동시에 만족시키지 위해서는 Ag 함량을 최적화하기 위한 고려가 필요하며, 합금원소에 대한 연구가 요청된다고 하겠다. 한편 Ag의 함량을 3wt.% 이상으로 첨가할 경우에도 비교적 느린 응고 속도에서는 조대한 판상의 $Ag_3Sn$ 상을 형성하는 경향이 있어 외관 물량을 야기 시킬 가능성이 매우 커지는 현상도 보고되고 있다. 따라서 Ag의 첨가량을 최적화 하면서 솔더 재료로서의 특성을 계속적으로 유지하기 위해서는 제 4 원소의 함유가 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Sn-Ag-Cu계에 첨부하는 제 4원소로서 In을 선택하였다. 비록 In은 Ag보다 고가이기 때문에 산업적인 적용을 위한 솔더 합금 원소로는 거의 각광받지 못했으나, 본 연구의 결과로는 In은 매우 소량 첨가할 경우에도 Sn-Ag-Cu계 합금, 특히 소량의 Ag를 함유하는 Sn-Ag-Cu계 합금의 wettabilty와 기계적 특성 향상에 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해 구현된 Sn-Ag-Cu-In계 최적 솔더 조성의 경우 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu의 표준 조성에 비하여 약 18%의 원자재 가격 절감을 도모할 수 있을 것으로 예상되는 한편. Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu에 유사하거나 우수한 wettability 특성을 나타내었고. Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu 또는 Sn-l.2Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ni 조성보다는 월등히 우수한 wettability 특성을 나타내었다. 더구나 Sn-Ag-Cu-In계 최적 솔더 조성은 합금의 강도 저하는 최소화 시키면서 합금의 elongation은 극적으로 향상시켜 합금의 toughness 값이 매우 우수한 특성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 이렇게 우수한 toughness 값은 솔더 조인트의 대표적 신뢰성 요구 특성인 열싸이클링 수명과 내 impact 수명을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 요컨대 본 연구를 통해 구현된 Sn-Ag-Cu-In계 솔더 조성은 최적 솔더 조성에서 요구되는 4가지 인자, 즉, 저렴한 원재료 가격, 우수한 wettability 특성, 합금 자체의 높은 toughness, 안정하고 낮은 성장 속도의 계면 반응층 생성을 모두 만족시키는 특징을 가짐으로서 기존 무연솔더 조성의 새로운 대안으로 자리 잡을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was performed to find the desirable conditions for processing salted hard-boiled egg without cracking egg shell in NaCl solution under pressure. Among the many factors affecting saltiness of the shell egg, concentration of NaCl solution(0~40%), different salting time(0~45h) and salting pressure (0~4.5kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) were employed to identify the permeability of NaCl into shell egg at ambient temperature. The saltiness of the shell egg was proportionally risen as concentration of NaCl solution, salting time and pressure increased. The most desirable saltiness was observed at the 0.70~1.00% of NaCl in albumen and 0.40~0.45% in yolk, Besides the saltiness, sensory evaluation of the shell egg were carried out to evaluate the quality of the salted shell egg. The effect of various concentration of NaCl solution, salting time and pressure on sensory scores of hard-boiled salted eggs showed that 20~40% of NaCl solution, 12~20 h of salting time, 3~4.5 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of salting pressure were proper conditions for processing the product. These results indicate that the desirable condition to get salted hard-boiled shell egg were ; 30% of NaCl solution, 16h of salting time and 4.0kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of salting pressure.

This study is on development of UV-cured hard coating compounds which have more improved abrasion resistance than existing UV-cured urethane-acrylic resin, to prevent a surface of a widely used PVC tile as a constructive material from being scratched. To make a high abrasion resistant hard coating solution compared to UV-cured urethane-acrylic resin which has no abrasion resistance and been used for PVC tiles, we added powder substances of different abrasion resistant level, $Al_2O_3$(Al-160SG-3), $Al(OH)_3$(SH-8W), $SiO_2$(KS-5000), etc., to the resin, changing their contents from 10% to 30% against quantities of resin, and compounded it using Ring-Mill. After coating PVC tiles with the hard coating solution using bar-coating method that can adjust a thickness, we estimated some surface properties-abrasion resistance, pencil hardness, adhesive power, thickness of coating, and so on. As a result, a hard coating solution added 30% $Al_2O_3$ powder to the resin had the finest surface properties-the first grade in abrasion resistance, H in pencil hardness, 100% in adhesive power, and a hard coating solution which showed excellent solidity and abrasion resistance has smaller particle size, higher powder content, and thicker coating thickness.

SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber; 25 wt% of solid contents) nanocomposites reinforced with OLS(organically modified layered silicates) were manufactured via the latex method. Two types of OLS are prepared, i.e. dodecylamine (primary amine) modified montmorillonite (DA-MMT) and N, N-dimethyldodecylamine (tertiary amino) modified MMT (DDA-MMT). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to characterize the layer distance of OLS and the morphology of the nanocomposites. SBR nanocomposites reinforced with ternary phase filler (carbon black/silica/OLS) systems also manufactured. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) was performed on these composites to determine the loss factor (tan $\delta$) over a range of temperature($-20^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$). The results showed that there was significant changes on the values or tan $\delta$ with the addition of small amount of the OLS. By increasing the contents of OLS, the values of tan $\delta$ at $0^{\circ}C$ increased but those of tan $\delta$ at $60^{\circ}C$ decreased with increasing OLS contents.

Objective: In our previous study, we observed that the addition of waste cooking oil (WCO) reduced ammonia (NH₃) emissions during laboratory-scale composting of dairy cattle manure under low-aeration condition. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of addition of WCO on NH₃ emissions reduction during pilot-scale composting of dairy cattle manure, which is close to the conditions of practical composting treatment. Methods: Composting tests were conducted using pilot-scale composting facilities (1.8 m³ of capacity). The composting mixtures were prepared from manure, sawdust, and WCO. Two treatments were set: without WCO (Control) and with WCO added to 3 wt% of manure (WCO3). Composting was conducted under continuous aeration at 40 L/min, corresponding to 22.2 L/(min·m³) of the mixture at the start of composting. The changes in temperatures, NH₃ concentrations in the exhaust gases, and contents of the composted mixtures were analyzed. Based on these analysis results, the effect of WCO addition on NH₃ emissions and nitrogen loss during composting was evaluated. Results: During composting, the temperature increase of the composting mixture became higher, and the decreases of weight and water content of the mixture became larger in WCO3 than in Control. In the decrease of weight, and the residual weight and water content of the mixture, significant differences (p<0.05) were detected between the two treatments at the end of composting. The NH₃ concentrations in the exhaust gases tended to be lower in WCO3 than in Control. Nitrogen loss was 21.5% lower in WCO3 than in Control. Conclusion: Reduction of NH₃ emissions by the addition of WCO under low aeration condition was observed in pilot-scale composting, as well as in laboratory-scale composting. This result suggests that this method is effective in reducing NH₃ emissions in practical-scale composting.

Docosahexaenoic acid(DHA), a $\omega$3 series fatty acid and arachidonic acid(AA). a $\omega$6 series fatty acid were found in relatively high concentrations in the phospholipids(PLs) of cell membranes of nerve tissues, and they can be affected by various factors. The present study examined the effects of dietary $\omega$6 and $\omega$3 fatty acid composition on P/M/S and on $\omega$3/$\omega$6 fatty acid ratios in brain PLs of 2nd generation rats. The expeimental diets consisted of 10% fat(by wt), which were computer- searched mixed oil('M') with P/M/S ratio, 1 : 1.4 : 1 and $\omega$6/$\omega$3 ratio, 6 : 1 and safflower oil('S') poor in $\omega$3 fatty acids. The experimental diets were started 3-4 wks prior to conception. During the lactation period, the feeding mothers were switched 1 wk after birth and provided the pups for 2 wks with milk which had compositions different from that of their natural mother. The same diet as their mothers was provided from weaning to 9 wks of age. The 'M'and 'S' rats were again subdivided into MM, MS, SS, SM rats according to diet which their lactating mothers were fed from the begining of the experiment. The relative percentage of P/M/S fatty acids in brain PLs in all experimental groups converged to a very similar value at 9 wks of age, indicating the existence of a control mechanism for the degree of fatty acids, unsaturation. The $\omega$3/$\omega$6 fatty acid ratios of brain PLs converged to about 1.0 in MM & SM groups and to 0.7 in SS & MS groups, suggesting also the existence of some balance between $\omega$3 and $\omega$6 fatty acids in developing rat brain. The concentrations of $\omega$3 fatty acids, especially DHA, in the SM group were increased and became similar to those in MM group at 9 wks of age. The increase in DHA of brain PLs was counterbalanced b)r a decrease in 22 5$\omega$6. Therefore, the ratios of 22 : 6$\omega$6/22 : 5$\omega$6 were higher in both MM & SM groups than those of SS & MS groups at 9 wak of age. Although dietary $\omega$3 and $\omega$6 fatty acids affected 22 : 6$\omega$S and 22 : 5$\omega$6 contained in rat brain PLs reciprocally, the relative percentage of AA did not appear to be significantly influenced by the diet in all groups at 9 wks of age, suggesting that a mechanism for the maintenance of a certain level of AA in brain PLs exists. In conclusion, the $\omega$3/$\omega$6 fatty acid and 22 : 6$\omega$3/22 : 5$\omega$6 ratios, but not P/M/S ratio, of rat brain PLs were affected by the postnatal dietary changes. Futher studies are required to clarify the mechanism(S) of ensuring a certain level of DHA and of maintaining a similar level of AA in rat brain PLs after. weaning(9 wk) regardless of prenatal and postnatal dietary changes.

This experiment was conducted to increase aromatics in roots of Condonopsis lanceolata by applications of organic matters. Fresh root wt. was increased by conifer/moss application to 79.1g per plant. Crude protein content was also higher at rice straw application than native soil application and crude saponin content was increased by conifer/moss application, but contents of crude fat, fiber and ash were not different in all treatments. Although contents of K, Ca, and Mg were increased by rice straw application, Fe, Mn, Zn, Na and Cu were not significantly different in all treatments, The highest free amino acid was arginine, it was increased by the application of fallen leaves and the highest yield (0,008%) of essential oils was obtained by conifer/moss application. As a result, to produce C. lanceolata plant showing higher quality and aromatic essential oils, it was considered that the most effective organic matter showing high yield and higher aromatic constituents was conifer/moss application of over 3M/T per 10a.

At the Janggun mine, boulangerite usually occurs as needles or irregularly-shaped grains, up to $500{{\mu}m}$ in longer dimensions, closely associated with galena, minerals of a tetrahedrite-freibergite series and bournonite in the peripheries of South A and B orebodies and the zone of manganoan carbonates surrounding them. In some places, especially at the top of South B orebody, it occures as "feather ore" consisting of its fine needles or "hairs" in small drusy cavities together with fine-grained euhedral galena, pyrite, manganoan carbonates, quartz, etc. In reflected light, it is bluish grey in colour exhibiting moderate bireflectance and is strongly anisotropic without any internal reflections. Reflectance in air is $R_{max}=43.2$, $R_{min}=35.7$ percent at wavelength of 580 nm, and VHN: $146-173\;kg/mm^2$ at a 50 g-load. The chemical composition on the average from 23 complete spot analyses by electron microprobe is, Pb 56.1, Sb 25.1, S 18.5, Total 99.6 (all in weight percent); the corresponding chemical formula calculated on the basis of S=11 is; $Pb_{5.16}Sb_{3.93}S_{11.0}$ which fulfils approximately the ideal formula $Pb_5Sb_4S_{11}$. The strongest reflections on the X-ray diffraction pattern are; $3.73\;{\AA}\;(10)$, $3.22\;{\AA}\;(5)$, $3.03\;{\AA}\;(4)$ and $2.82\;{\AA}\;(5)$ and the pattern is in harmonic with space group $C^5_{2h}-P2_1/a$. From the textural evidence of the microscopic observations, the mineral is considered to have been formed at the latest stage of hydrothermal lead-zinc-silver mineralization.

The contents of functional and nutritional components of 13 cultivars of Chinese cabbage (CC, $Brassica$ $rapa$ subspecies $campestris$) were analyzed to compare the effects of soil pH of the greenhouse (pH 6.2) and outdoor (pH 7.6). The CC cultivated on pH 6.2 (CC-6.2) soil contained significantly increased amounts (2-9 fold) of pectin, crude protein, vitamin C and vitamin E compared to the counterpart (CC-7.6). The contents of ash and the minerals (Ca, Fe, Na, and Mn) were also significantly increased in CC-6.2. However, CC-6.2 contained 40-50% lower contents of reducing sugars, cellulose and crude fat than CC-7.6. CC-7.6 contained more glucosinolates, gluconasturtiin (18.33 vs. $1.16nmol{\cdot}g^{-1}$ wet weight) and gluconapin (145 vs. $2nmol{\cdot}g^{-1}$ wet wt), than CC-6.2. In conclusion, CC-6.2 had an improved texture (high pectin and low cellulose) and nutritional value (high in protein, Ca, Fe, vitamin C, and E), whereas the CC-7.6 had better taste (high in reducing sugars) and anticancer functionality (high in glucosinolates).
