In this study, the effect of the change in the cement contents on the basic properties of the concrete and the estimation of the cement contents of hardened concretes using the hydrochloric acid melting heat. As a result of the study, as the cement contents increased, the fluidity and compressive strength increased, and there was no significant difference in the air contents and the unit volume mass. In addition, it showed a high correlation when compared with the estimated cement contents derived using the hydrochloric acid melting and the cement contents at the time of mixing. Therefore, it is considered that the hydrochloric acid melting is possible as a method of estimating the cement contents of concrete.

In this study, the acid polyols containing acid groups were synthesized, the novel polyurethane adhesive was developed by introducing the acid polyol by content. The acid polyols were introduced, the mechanical properties showed the maximum value when the acid content was 0.1 to 0.3 wt%, and it was confirmed that the mechanical properties and adhesive strength decreased at the content higher than 0.5 wt%. As the acid group, carboxylic acid and sulfuric acid were introduced to compare properties, and carboxylic acid showed stronger hydrogen bonding potential than sulfuric acid and improved mechanical properties. In addition, the correlation between particle size and mechanical properties was confirmed by introducing ZnO and CaCO₃. When ZnO and CaCO₃ were introduced, an ionic bond was formed with an acid group, and it was confirmed that mechanical properties were increased.

In this research influences of type and concentration of alkali activator and curing condition on the hydration, and properties of alkali activated blast furnace slag(AAS) concrete were investigated. Sodium carbonate and sulfate were used as alkali activators and their concentration were 4~10 weight percent with Na$_2$O equivalent to binder. The curing conditions were standard curing using 23$^{\circ}C$ water and activated curing chamber at $65^{\circ}C$. Results show that in case of sodium carbonate addition high early strengths were gained by activation of early hydration, but later strength gained was slight. On the other side sodium sulfate strengths were continuously increased with adding amount and ages. Steam curing activated early hydration so that early strengths were improved but later strengths were similar to standard curing. The strength reduction of AAS mortar with sodium sulfate was less than OPC mortar in 5% sulfuric acid solution so that AAS concrete can be useful for acid-resistance concrete.

An emphasis has been placed on the importance of selecting a sand for furan sand process, which ie affected by the properties of sand. Investigations have been carried out to use the domestic artificial sands for the furan sand process. For laboratory investigations, the sands have been prepared and tested for chemical analysis, loss on ignition, sieve analysis, AFS grain fineness number, grain shape, PH value, acid demand, surface shape, theoretical surface area, moisture absorption, crushing durability and compressive strength and S. S. I. of molding sands. Most commercial sands have been found to be able to be used. The main requirement of the sands has been shown to be that 3 or 4 screen sands, AFS no.40-70 (or 100), of low acid demand, good surface area and good grain shape require less resin and catalyst to give an adequate strength.

Polymer cement is made by the modifying ordinary cement concrete with polymer additive. Until now polymer cement concrete is not used for the structural member, but it is growing to be considered as developing uses such as a waterproof of roof slab, the structural member for protecting corrosion, and a road pavement. The plymer cement concrete, being used for those uses, is superior to the cement concrete against the inorganic, organic acid, salt of acetic acid and organic solvents generally. In this paper, the polymer cement concrete was made by the ratio of 1:1 of sands and tailing in fine aggregate in order to solve the environmental pollution which causes the social problem by the tailing, It was measured for the compressive strength, flexural strength, and chemicals resistance was tested by dealing with 10% HCI, 20% NaOH and 10% NaCl aqueous solution.

In this study, acid cellulase was used to treat denim fabrics by varying pH, temperature, enzyme concentration, treatment time and non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100) concentration. Treatment condition was controlled based on the weight loss. The characteristics of enzyme-treated fabrics were measured in terms of tearing strength, stiffness, and color difference. The optimum conditions for cellulase treatment of denim fabric were pH 5.0, $50^{\circ}C$, 3% (o.w.f.), 90minutes. The weight loss did not change significantly with the addition of a non-ionic surfactant, but it improved when more non-ionic surfactant were used. The tearing strength of enzyme-treated denim fabrics did not deteriorate. The stiffness of the treated fabrics improved with the enzymatic treatment with and without the non-ionic surfactant. The difference in color of fabrics treated with enzyme increased.

This research examined the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete at unstable environmental conditions. Concrete composites with varying percentages of steel and glass fibers were analyzed. Compressive, indirect tensile, and fracture toughness properties were evaluated using the Edge Notched Disc Bend (ENDB) test under freezing-thawing and acidic environments and the results were compared with normal conditions. Steel fibers decreased the strength in the specified cycles, while glass fibers showed a normal strength trend. The compressive, tensile and fracture toughness of the samples containing 1.5 vol.% fibers showed a 1.28-, 2.13- and 4.5-fold enhancement compared to samples without fibers, after 300 freezing-thawing cycles, respectively.

Starch as matrix polymer was used to do graft copolymerization with 2-ethylhexylacrylate, methyl methacrylate and acrylic acid. The polymerization was carried out by radical emulsion polymerization with increasing contents of starch. When 0.174% of $\alpha$-amylase as enzyme for starch was added, it was found that it made the best stable emulsion. The glass transion temperature of the polymerized material was increased with starch contents. The particle size and viscosity of the emulsion increased with starch contents due to the increased hydroxy group. Peel strength also increased with contents of starch because the enhanced hydroxy group caused to increase affinity between substrate surface and polymer materials. However, the initial tackiness decreased with starch contents owing to film hardness by higher glass transion temperature.

The effects of chemical treatment on Kevlar-29 fibers have been studied in a composite system. The surface characteristics of the Kevlar-29 fibers were characterized by pH, acid-base value and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The mechanical interfacial properties of final composites were studied by interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$). Also, the impact properties of the composites were investigated in the differentiating studies between initiation and propagation energies, and ductile index (DI) along with maximum farce and total energy. It was found that the chemical treatment with phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) solution significantly affected the degree of adhesion at interfaces between fibers and resin matrix, resulting in improving the mechanical interfacial strength of the composites. This was probably due to the presence of chemical polar groups on Kevlar surfaces, leading to an increment of interfacial binding force in a composite system.

Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin was formulated similarly to plywood resin in the laboratory. The synthesized UF resin adhesive was mixed with extender, filler and acid catalyst. The mixture contained 56.1% total solids and 43.9% water. The mixes was used to bond five Com-Ply types using Korean wood species. The Com-Ply made were tested for shear strength and wood failure according to KS F 3101 ordinary plywood as well as for bending strength per KS F 3104 particleboard. The performance test results showed good strength properties for all Com-Ply types made in this study. This result represented that the UF resin adhesive mix was adequate for bonding Com-Ply with domestic wood species.
