The main purpose of this work is to compare different criteria for the seismic strengthening of RC framed buildings in order to find the optimal combinations of these retrofitting techniques. To this end, a numerical investigation is carried out with reference to the town hall of Spilinga (Italy), an RC framed structure with an L-shaped plan built at the beginning of the 1960s. Five structures are considered, derived from the first by incorporating: carbon fibre reinforced polymer (FRP)-wrapping of all columns; base-isolation, with high-damping-laminated-rubber bearings (HDLRBs); added damping, with hysteretic damped braces (HYDBs); FRP-wrapping of the first storey columns combined with base-isolation or added damping. A three-dimensional fibre model of the primary and retrofitted structures is considered; bilinear and trilinear laws idealize, respectively, the behaviour of the HYDB, providing that the buckling be prevented, and the FRP-wrapping, without resistance in compression, while the response of the HDLRB is simulated by using a viscoelastic linear model. The effectiveness of the retrofitting solutions is tested with nonlinear dynamic analyses based on biaxial accelerograms, whose response spectra match those in the Italian seismic code.

We present a piezoelectric energy harvester with stopper-engaged dynamic magnifier which is capable of significantly increasing the operating bandwidth and the energy (power) harvested from a broad range of low frequency vibrations (<30 Hz). It uses a mass-loaded polymer beam (primary spring-mass system) that works as a dynamic magnifier for another mass-loaded piezoelectric beam (secondary spring-mass system) clamped on primary mass, constituting a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) system. Use of polymer (polycarbonate) as the primary beam allows the harvester not only to respond to low frequency vibrations but also generates high impulsive force while the primary mass engages the base stopper. Upon excitation, the dynamic magnifier causes mechanical impact on the base stopper and transfers a secondary shock (in the form of impulsive force) to the energy harvesting element resulting in an increased strain in it and triggers nonlinear frequency up-conversion mechanism. Therefore, it generates almost four times larger average power and exhibits over 250% wider half-power bandwidth than those of its conventional 2-DOF counterpart (without stopper). Experimental results indicate that the proposed device is highly applicable to vibration energy harvesting in automobiles.

Recent impervious pavements on roads and sidewalks cause rainwater to not penetrate into the ground, deplete groundwater, or flood the rivers, causing urban flood damage. In order to solve these problems, the amount of installed pitcher block is increasing, but the existing pitcher block is made with cement base and causes many problems. In the cement permeable block, the efflorescene phenomenon occurs due to the acid component, and the pore of the permeable block is clogged and the permeability is lost. As a result, the service life of the pitcher block is shortened and the replacement period is shortened. The purpose of this study is to analyze the basic properties of polymer concrete by replacing cement with polymer in order to solve the problem of cement - based concrete permeable block.

Hydrogen as new energy sources is highly efficient and have very low environmental emissions. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an emerging technology that can meet these demands. Therefore, the preparation of stable polymeric membranes with good proton conductivity and durability are very important for hydrogen production via water electrolysis with PEM at medium temperature above $80^{\circ}C$. Currently Nafion of Dupont and Aciflex of Asahi, etc., solid polymer electrolytes of perfluorosulfonic acid membrane, are the best performing commercially available polymer electrolytes. However, these membrane have several flaws including its high cost, and its limited operational temperature above $80^{\circ}C$. Because of this, significant research efforts have been devoted to the development of newer and cheaper membranes. In order to make up for the weak points and to improve the mechanical characteristics with cross -linking, acid-base complexes were prepared by the combination PSf-co-PPSS-$NH_2$ with PEEK-$SO_3H$. The results showed that the proton conductivity decreased in 17.6% and 40% but tensile strength increased in 78% and 98%, about $20.65\;{\times}\;10^6N/m^2$, in comparison with SBPSf/HPA and SPEEK/HPA complex membrane.

본 논문의 목적은 기존의 에틸렌기반 폴리머 사용 배합인 투수 콘크리트 단점을 개선하고자, 아크릴 폴리머를 적용함으로써 개선된 도로 포장 재료로써 활용하기 위한 기초자료를 제시하고 한다. 기존의 에틸렌 폴리머 기반 투수 콘크리트 재료를 선정하고, 아크릴 폴리머를 혼입하여 배합 설계하여 비교 평가하였다. 시험결과, 기존 에틸렌 기반 폴리머 투수 콘크리트 배합 경우 큰 공극률이 발생하여 압축강도 증진이 미약한 결과를 나타냈었고, 아크릴 폴리머 기반 투수 콘크리트 배합 경우 KS에서 규정하고 있는 차도용 28일 압축강도 24MPa을 만족하였다. 휨강도인 경우, 아크릴 폴리머 기반 투수 콘크리트 배합 강도가 우수하였으며, 투수 계수는 모든 변수에서 기준인 0.1(mm/s) 이상으로 측정되었다. 흡수율의 경우 모든 변수에서 1% 이하로 측정되었고, 동탄성계수 측정결과, 아크릴 폴리머배합특성의 경우 120 Cycle 이상 측정을 유지할 수 있었고, 다른 배합의 경우 80 Cycle 이상 유지하지 못하였다. 따라서 기존의 에틸렌 폴리머 기반보다 아크릴 폴리머를 적용함으로써, 내구성 향상에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

The graft copolymer consisting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and single-stranded DNA was prepared. Interestingly, the copolymer was found to form nanoparticles above physiological temperature. We found that non-crosslinking aggregation of the nanoparticles was induced by the hybridization of the surface-bound DNA with the full-match complementary DNA, but not with one-base mismatch. The core material is not restricted to PNIPAAm; DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticle was found to show a similar aggregation induced only by the fully-complementary DNA, resulting in rapid color change within 3 min at ambient temperature. This methodology is general in principle and applicable for wide variety of clinical gene diagnosis.

Styrenated phenol alkoxylate (SP-A)는 일반적으로 균일계 염기 촉매 하에서 styrenated phenol (SP)과 ethylene oxide (EO)로부터 제조되어진다. 그러나, 취급이 용이하지 않은 EO를 사용하려면 고압반응장치를 이용한 반응공정 제어가 필요하다. 또한, 균일계 염기 촉매를 사용하면 반응종결 후에 잔존하는 염기를 제거하기 위한 중화공정이 필요하고, 촉매와 생성물의 분리가 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 균일계 염기 촉매를 사용하지 않고 불균일계염기 촉매를 사용하여 SP와 ethylene carbonate (EC)의 반응으로부터 제조된 SP-A에 대하여 보고하고자 한다. SP-A의 제조에 사용된 불균일계 염기 촉매는 KOH를 $La_2O_3$에 담지시킨 후, 소성하여 얻었다. 또한, EO 대신 EC를 사용함으로써 고압반응이 아닌 상압반응 조건에서 SP-A제조가 가능하였다. 합성된 SP-A의 평균 분자량 크기는 반응조건에 따라서 매우 다양하게 나타났다. $KOH/La_2O_3$촉매 하에서 제조된 SP-A의 평균 분자량 크기는 반응온도, 촉매의 첨가량 및 EC의 첨가량을 조절함으로써 임의로 조절이 가능하였다.

본 연구는 표면처리에 따른 탄소나노튜브의 표면특성변화가 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 기계적 물성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 표면처리된 탄소나노튜브의 표면특성은 산-염기도 측정, FTIR, 그리고 XPS를 통하여 알아보았다. 복합재료의 기계적 계면특성은 층간전단강도(interlaminar shear strength; ILSS)와 임계응력세기인자(critical stress intensity factor; $K_{IC}$)를 통하여 고찰하였다. 실험결과 산-염기 상호반응에 의한 각각의 표면처리된 탄소나노튜브의 표면특성의 변화를 가져오며, 산처리한 MWNTs/탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 경우 미처리 MWNTs, 염기 처리 MWNTs와 비교하여 우수한 기계적 물성을 보였다. 이는 산성을 가지는 MWNTs와 염기성의 에폭시 수지가 산-염기 및 수소결합에 의한 계면 결합력의 향상 때문이라 판단된다.

Nafion/poly(ether(amino sulfone)) acid-base 블렌드 고분자 전해질 막을 제조하여 이온전도도, 디메틸 에테르(DME) 투과도를 측정하였으며 이를 이용하여 직접 DME 연료전지 특성을 연구하였다. Poly(ether(amino sulfone)) (PEAS)는 아민기의 치환도가 $0.6\sim2.0$인 것을 합성하였다. Nafion/PEAS 블렌드 전해질 막은 Nafion과 PEAS를 DMF에 용해시켜서 캐스팅하는 방법으로 제조하였다. 블렌드 전해질막은 $100^{\circ}C$ 이상에서도 이온전도도가 계속 증가하였다. Nafion/PEAS-0.6(85:15) 블렌드 전해질막은 $50^{\circ}C$ 이상에서의 수소 이온전도도가 recast Nafion보다 더 높게 나타났으며 $120^{\circ}C$에서의 수소 이온전도도는 $1.42\times10^{-1}S/cm$로 측정되었다. PEAS의 아민기가 많이 치환될수록 블렌드 전해질막의 DME 투과도와 이온전도도는 비례적으로 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. $100^{\circ}C$ 이상 가압 조건에서 Nafion/PEAS 블렌드 전해질막을 사용한 직접 DME 연료전지(DDMEFC)의 최대 전력밀도가 같은 조건에서 Nafion 115를 사용한 것보다 약 50%증가하였다. 이와 같은 DDMEFC의 성능 향상은 블렌드 전해질막이 Nafion과 비교하여 고온에서의 이온전도도가 향상되었고 DME투과도가 감소하였기 때문인것으로 해석된다.

Charged polymer chains, i.e., polyelectrolytes, are known to show superior aqueous lubricating properties compared to those of neutral polymer chains, especially in brush conformation. This is primarily because of the incorporation of a large amount of counterions within the polymer layers and the consequently increased osmotic pressure. However, this effect is active only when the polymer chains remain immobilized even under tribostress, which is not realistic for high-contact pressure tribological applications, especially when they are irreversibly immobilized on tribopair surfaces. In contrast, with free polymers, which can be included as surface-active additives in the base lubricant (water), long-term lubricating performance based on "self-healing" properties is readily expected. In order to assess whether the superior aqueous lubricating properties of polyelectrolyte chains are valid for free polymers too, this study reviews recent studies on the tribological properties of many charged biopolymer and synthetic copolymers at a nonpolar, hydrophobic interface. In contrast to the irreversibly immobilized polyelectrolyte chains, free polyelectrolyte chains show inferior aqueous lubricating properties compared to their neutral counterparts owing to charge accumulation and the consequently impeded surface adsorption on the nonpolar surface. Nevertheless, bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM), a representative biopolymer, shows a sufficiently effective surface adsorption and aqueous lubricating capabilities even at neutral pH without losing the polyanionic characteristics.
