Purpose : This study aimed to verify the surface hardness and water repellency of earth paint manufactured with earth, a natural material, and provide the results as basic data for paint made with natural materials. Method : After presenting the accurate manufacturing methods for basic materials for paint, the authors conducted and analyzed experiments to evaluate surface hardness and water repellency, fundamental performance indicators for paint, based on different mixture ratios. From the results of the experiment to assess the surface hardness of flour-based earth paint, we observed high surface hardness only after painting the specimen three times. Since potato starch-based earth paint has higher viscosity than its flour-based counterpart, the former did not paint well on the first occasion, resulting in low surface hardness. After painting two or more times, however, it was observed to have higher surface hardness than flour-based earth paint. Result : It was found that at least three iterations of painting was required to obtain high surface hardness of potato starch-based earth paint. Furthermore, the results of the water resistance experiment of earth paint suggest that the use of environment-friendly finishing materials coupled with boiled linseed oil will mitigate the drawbacks of earth paint. The experiment with one-year-old specimens also demonstrated similar water repellent characteristics, which indicates that the performance will improve once the paint has dried for a sufficient period of time.

발수제를 콘크리트 표면에 함침시키는 방법은 콘크리트의 균열이 발생할 경우, 기대하는 내구성을 확보할 수가 없다. 최근, 다양한 방수 및 발수 재료들을 콘크리트나 모르타르 내부에 혼입하여 균열 내부에서도 발수성을 확보하였으나 압축강도가 크게 저하되었다. 압축강도 저하를 극복하기 위해 아직까지 유기물과 무기물의 장점들을 동시에 이용한 연구가 없기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 유기물과 무기물을 적절히 혼합한 유무기 복합 발수제를 모르타르에 혼입하여 물리적 특성 및 발수성능을 평가하였다. 유무기 복합 발수제 혼입 시 Liquid 시험체에 비해 플로우 약 10%, 공기량이 약 50% 감소하였으며, P6L1 시험체의 경우, 기존 발수제인 Powder와 같은 39.5MPa로 무혼입 모르타르 대비 약 3.5%의 압축강도 저하를 확인하였다. 발수성능도 유무기 복합 발수제 혼입 시험체가 기존의 발수제 혼입 시험체인 Powder보다 높은 발수성을 확인하였으며, 염화물 침투 저항성 평가결과, 유무기 복합 발수제 혼입 시험체가 무혼입 모르타르 대비 약 45% 통과 전하량이 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 실험을 종합하면, Powder 발수제와 Liquid 발수제를 5:1의 비율로 혼입한 P5L1 유무기 복합 발수제가 압축강도 저하 방지 및 발수성능 확보를 위하여 가장 합리적이라고 판단된다.

출발물질로서 테트라에톡시실란(TEOS)과 메틸트리메톡시실란(MTMS)을 사용하여 졸-겔법에 의해 발수성 코팅용액을 제조하였다. 이 용액을 냉연강판 위에 스핀 코팅하고 열처리하여 비불소계 발수 코팅 도막을 제조 하였다. 이 과정 중 MTMS/TEOS의 몰 비, 물 농도 및 암모니아 농도가 코팅 도막의 발수성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. MTMS/TEOS의 몰 비를 1~20으로 변화시켜 제조 한 코팅 도막의 접촉각은 MTMS/TEOS 몰 비가 10 일 때 최대 수치인 $108^{\circ}$를 나타내었다. 반면에 물의 첨가량을 증가시킴에 따라 코팅 도막의 접촉각이 증가하여 발수성이 향상되었다. 또한 암모니아의 첨가량이 커질수록실리카입자의 크기가커져 실리카입자의표면 거칠기가증가하므로 발수성이 증가하였다.

Strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) under cracked condition exhibits remarkable capillary absorption due to water ingress from multiple cracks. Surface treatment using water repellent agents is an effective way for improving water resistance of SHCC, but the water resistance may remarkably decrease when cracks penetrate impregnation depth. Another way is to add water repellent agents directly into the mixture, offering SHCC integral water repellency even if cracks form later. However, although integral water repellent treatment has been proved feasible by previous studies, there is still lack of simulation work on the treated SHCC for evaluating its durability. This study presents a simulation method for capillary absorption of cracked SHCC with integral treatment based on a multi-scale approach proposed in the authors' previous work. The approach deals with water flows in bulk matrix and multiple cracks using two individual transport equations, respectively, whereas water absorbed from a crack to its adjacent matrix is treated as the mass exchange of the two equations. In this study, the approach is enhanced for the treated SHCC by integrating the influencing of water repellency into the two transport equations as well as the mass exchange term. Using the enhanced approach, capillary absorption of water repellent SHCC under cracked condition is simulated, showing much more reduced water ingress than the untreated concrete, which is consistent with total absorption data from previous tests. This approach is also capable of simulating water spatial distribution with time in treated SHCC reasonably.

Superhydrophobic $SiO_2$ layers with a micro-nano hierarchical surface structure were prepared. $SiO_2$ layers deposited via an electrospray method combined with a sol-gel chemical route were rough on the microscale. Au particles were decorated on the surface of the microscale-rough $SiO_2$ layers by use of the photo-reduction process with different intensities ($0.11-1.9mW/cm^2$) and illumination times (60-240 sec) of ultraviolet light. With the aid of nanoscale Au nanoparticles, this consequently resulted in a micro-nano hierarchical surface structure. Subsequent fluorination treatment with a solution containing trichloro(1H,2H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)silane fluorinated the hierarchical $SiO_2$ layers. The change in surface roughness factor was in good agreement with that observed for the water contact angle, where the surface roughness factor developed as a measure needed to evaluate the degree of surface roughness. The resulting $SiO_2$ layers revealed excellent repellency toward various liquid droplets with different surface tensions ranging from 46 to 72.3 mN/m. Especially, the micro-nano hierarchical surface created at an illumination intensity of $0.11mW/cm^2$ and illumination time of 60 sec showed the largest water contact angle of $170^{\circ}$. Based on the Cassie-Baxter and Young-Dupre equations, the surface fraction and work of adhesion for the micronano hierarchical $SiO_2$ layers were evaluated. The work of adhesion was estimated to be less than $3{\times}10^{-3}N/m$ for all the liquid droplets. This exceptionally small work of adhesion is likely to be responsible for the strong repellency of the liquids to the micro-nano hierarchical $SiO_2$ layers.

Physicochemical properties of a polymer surface significantly affect adhesion, wetting, and dyeing properties. In recent years, low temperature plasma technology has been widely used for surface modification of polymers. Surface fluorination by low temperature plasma treatment has been employed to improve the water and oily repellency of textile fabrics. However, very few results have been reported on soil release properties of the oxygen plasma treated textile fabrics. (omitted)

In this study, we fabricated the superhydrophobic and super-water-repellent surface with the micro/nano scale structures using simple conventional silicon wet-etching technique and the black silicon method by deep reactive ion etching. These fabrication methods are simple but very effective. Also we reported the droplet impact experimental results on the micro/nano-scaled surface. There are two representative impact behaviors as "rebound" and "fragmentation". We found the transition Weber number between "rebound" and "fragmentation" statements, experimentally. Additionally, we concerned about the dimensionless spreading diameters for our super-water-repellent surface. The novel characterization method was introduced for analysis including the "fragmentation" region. As a result, our super-water-repellent surface with the micro/nano-scaled structures shows the different impact behaviors compared with a reference smooth surface, by some meaningful experiments.

This research evaluates the changes in the comfort-related properties of high-density fabric, such as moisture permeability and waterproofness, in order to assess the relative importance of laundry conditions for clothing properties after repeated laundering and suggest the best laundering conditions for high-density fabric through the identification of the most influential factor. A commercial high-density fabric was washed 25 times in a drum-type washer using nine different laundry conditions based on profiles derived from a fractional factorial design. To evaluate the changes in the comfort-related properties of the fabric, pore size, air permeability, water vapor transport, water repellency, and water resistance were measured. The comfort-related properties of the fabric deteriorated after repeated laundering by the damaged surface finish; in addition, the damaged surface also changed the pore size. As a result, the water repellency and water resistance decreased. The detergent was the most responsible factor to change the properties among the four factors of detergent, hardness, temperature, and RPM. The best laundering conditions for the fabric was a neutral detergent, soft water of 70ppm, a temperature of $15^{\circ}C$, and 30rpm.

Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) Silicone Rubber has been widely used to coat porcelain insulator to prevent formation water filming on insulator surface. and RTV silicone rubber has water repellency to suppress leakage current and consequent flashover. RTV silicone rubber's surface has been degradated by outdoor condition such as dust, salt, and water. etc. ESDD(Equivalent Salt Deposit Density) and leakage currents are increased by polymer surface toughness and degradation. In this paper, we investigated relations of surface toughness, ESDD, and leakage currents.
