가교 폴리에틸렌을 열을 가하여 노화시킨 후 구조 및 물성의 변화를 조사하였다. 가교 폴리에틸렌의 열적 산화 반응으로 카보닐 그룹이 형성됨을 X-선 광전자 분광법과 근적외선 분광법을 이용하여 확인하였다. 노화 시간이 길어질수록 1715 nm에서 관찰되는 카보닐 피이크가 정량적으로 증가하는 것을 근적외선 분광법을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 열화 시간에 따른 흡수 피이크의 선형적인 관계로부터 근적외선 분광법이 고분자 재료의 열화 과정을 감시하는데 적합한 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 노화에 의한 가교 결합의 발생과 그에 따른 물리적 성질의 변화를 TMA, 응력-변형 시험, 쇼어 경도 측정 방법을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 노화가 진행됨에 따라 유리 전이 온도가 110에서 132$^{\circ}C$로 증가함을 관찰하였으며, 인장률은 265에서 110%로 점차 감소하고 쇼어 D 경도는 32에서 50으로 크게 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast Ti-6%Al-4%V alloy was investigated. Heat treatment of cast Ti-6Al-4V alloy was conducted by solution treatment at $950^{\circ}C$ for 30 min; this was followed by water quenching and then aging at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 to 1440 min. The highest hardness of the heat-treated specimens was obtained by solution treatment and subsequent aging for 5 min due to precipitates of fine ${\alpha}$ that formed from retained ${\beta}$ phase. The tensile strength of this alloy increased without dramatic decrease of the ductility due to microstructural refinement resulting from the decomposition of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ martensite into fine ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ phases, and also due to the fine ${\alpha}$ phase formed from the retained ${\beta}$ phase by aging treatment for 5 min. In addition, this strengthening might be caused by the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect, which is a strain-induced martensite transformation from the retained ${\beta}$ phase during deformation, and which occurs even after aging treatment at $550^{\circ}C$ for 5 min.

This study investigates the effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of a forged Ni-based superalloy called Nimonic 80A. Nimonic 80A ingot samples were fabricated by vacuum spray casting to achieve a fine and homogenized microstructure. The ingot samples were subsequently hot-forged with the diameter of 220 mm at 1373 K. From the center to the surface of the forged Nimonic 80A, its average grain size decreased and its micro-Vickers hardness increased slightly. Solution treatment was carried out at 1353 K with 8 hours of air cooling followed by aging treatment, which was carried out in the range of 873-1073 K with various times from 0.5 to 256 hours. To set the optimum aging conditions, micro-Vickers hardness tests were performed. The maximum hardness value of 388.0 Hv was obtained by aging at 973 K for 32 hours. Also, tensile tests were performed for optimum aging conditions at room temperature and 873 K. The results can be used effectively to perform reasonable heat treatment of Nimonic 80A superalloy.

The effect of strain aging on tensile behavior and properties of API X60, X70, and X80 pipeline steels was investigated in this study. The API X60, X70, and X80 pipeline steels were fabricated by varying alloying elements and thermomechanical processing conditions. Although all the steels exhibited complex microstructure consisting of polygonal ferrite (PF), acicular ferrite, granular bainite (GB), bainitic ferrite (BF), and secondary phases, they had different fractions of microstructures depending on the alloying elements and thermomechanical processing conditions. The tensile test results revealed that yielding behavior steadily changed from continuous-type to discontinuous-type as aging temperature increases after 1% pre-strain. After pre-strain and thermal aging treatment in all the steels, the yield and tensile strengths, and yield ratio were increased, while the uniform elongation and work hardening exponent were decreased. In the case of the X80 steel, particularly, the decrease in uniform elongation was relatively small due to many mobile dislocations in PF, and the increase in yield ratio was the lowest because a large amount of harder microstructures such as GB, BF, and coarse secondary phases effectively enhanced work hardening.

Since the various characteristics of the polymer electrolyte membrane are not clearly identified, it is difficult to predict and design applications for various conditions. In this study, as a previous study on the aging of the polymer electrolyte membrane, a study was conducted on the change of mechanical properties according to the aging of the polymer electrolyte membrane. Through the tensile test of Nafion 117, the mechanical properties change due to aging was confirmed. As a result of the tensile test, it was confirmed that the aged Nafion 117 had reduced tensile strength. Through DSC measurement, aged Nafion confirmed that the glass transition temperature and enthalpy change were low, which is thought to be the effect of molecular motion and transition due to the lapse of time. The effect is thought to cause a difference in the amount of change in enthalpy, resulting in a difference in mechanical properties during tension.

치환도를 달리한 하이드록시프로필화 쌀전분의 동적 레올로지 특성이 소변형 진동측정방법(small-deformation oscillatory measurement)에 의해 관찰되었다. Aging 전 $4^{\circ}C$에서 측정된 저장탄성률 G#과 손실탄성률 G"의 값은 치환도(0.030-0.118)가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 반면에 tan ${\delta}5(G"/G#)$는 감소하였다 $4^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 aging하는 동안 하이드록시프로필화 쌀전분의 G#값은 초기 단계에서 급속히 증가한 다음 곧 바로 2시간이내에 안정기(plateau) 영역에 도달하였다. 그러나 천연전분(native starch)은 10시간 동안의 aging후에도 안정기 영역이 관측되지 않았다. 치환도의 증가는 하이드록시프로필화 쌀전분의 안정기 G#값의 감소를 초래하였다. Aging하는 동안의 구조전개 속도상수 K는 1차 kinetics식으로부터 얻어졌으며, 하이드록시프로필화 쌀전분의 K값은 높은 치환도에서 낮은 수치를 보여주었다.

This study was carried out to examinate the effect of aging period on chromatic, chemical and organoleptic characteristics, and to evaluate of optimum aging period for each grade in burley leaf tobacco. The leaf tobaccos were produced in 2000, and threshed, redried and packed in carton box under the current methods. Four grades of processed leaf(A3T, B1T, C1W and D3W) were stored during 24 months (May 10, 2001 to April 31, 2003) in warehouse of Chungju Leaf Tobacco Processing Factory. The leaf tobaccos were sampled at three month intervals for analysis of chromatic, chemical and organoleptic properties. pH values of four grades, and Yellow(b) of A3T and BIT were also significantly decreased during the aging. Filling values, tar, nicotine and CO contents of tobacco smoke, and puff number of cigarettes were not significantly changed during the aging. Positive correlation coefficients were significantly observed between irritation of the calculated attributes from contents of volatile oil components in leaf tobacco and that of the panel sensory attributes. The ratio of maximum change in irritation attribute was larger than that in taste attribute during aging. The calculated irritations of 18～24 months aging for A3T and B1T were significantly lower than zero-aging, while those of C1W and D3W were not significant among aging periods. The panel irritations of 12～15 months aging for four grades were low tendency. The results suggest that decrease of aging period for thin leaf from 21～24 to 12～15 months may be beneficial to save storage cost in burley tobacco.

When garlic is aged for a certain period of time while maintaining proper humidity, it causes a browning reaction by its own ingredients and enzymes. In this study, the physicochemical properties were analyzed by varying the temperature conditions for aging garlic. It was found that about 20% of the weight of garlic was reduced through the aging process. During the aging process, both samples showed the highest water content on the 10th day of aging, and the water content of the two samples was similar after the aging was completed. In the analysis of total sugar content change, AG1 (22.0±0.7 vs 21.4±0.6) showed a significantly higher sugar content on the 10th day of aging, but showed a tendency to gradually decrease thereafter, whereas AG2 showed a steady increase in sugar content during the aging process (18.7 < 21.4 < 21.7 < 22.3 < 23.7). The pH change that occurred during the aging process showed the most pH change on the 10th day. In AG1, the pH gradually decreased as the aging period increased, whereas in AG2, the pH increased significantly after the 10th day. In the analysis of browning, AG1 increased sharply on the 10th day and maintained the state, and AG2 showed a significant increase in browning according to the aging process. In conclusion, based on the results of this study, if various ripening temperature conditions are set, it is judged that it will play a positive role in improving the productivity of black garlic.

Patterns and levels of aging vary between the book volume and sheets, even though both are made from the same paper materials. In case of book format, the outside is more easily affected than inner side by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and air. In this study, the change in optical properties after dry heating accelerated aging was comparatively analyzed to understand the difference of the optical aging characteristics between outside and inner side of the duplicated beeswax-treated volume. It is found that the cover pages of the beeswax-treated volumes were more optically deteriorated than their middle pages. This indicates that outer sides of aging book volume directly exposed to the air is more vulnerable to serious deterioration than inner sides. Also, aromatic compounds such as benzoic acid and cinnamic acid were observed in the investigation of UV/VIS absorbance of the beeswax in each aged sample.

Biomimetic artificial basilar membrane being a core part of artificial cochlear requires performance evaluation through aging test. To evaluate the aging properties of PVDF piezoelectric membrane used for artificial basilar membrane, its mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elastic modulus and piezoelectric property such as piezoelectric constant were measured. The aging test conditions and acceleration constants were calculated based on Arrhenius model. The changes in tensile strengths and elastic moduli measured were less than 10~20% after aging test equivalent for 10 years. The piezoelectric constants were decreased drastically to 80% of its initial value in the early stage of the aging test and expected to decrease slowly down to 65% over 10 years. The experimental results show the reliability of totally implantable novel artificial cochlear and will contribute its commercialization.
