This was done by analyzing the sandwich panels that are now widely used in construction work. Sandwich panels are used for diverse purposes in construction work worldwide. In Korea, polystyrene panels that have organic materials as their core material are used. These panels are thus very vulnerable to fire, with risks of core melting, sheet deformation, and hazardous gases. Accordingly, sandwich panels' fire-resistant or non-flammable properties must be secured. To solve these problems, the optimal mixing proportion of lightweight foamed concrete for the sandwich panel core was determined. A new method of doing this was introduced that is completely different from the existing method, wherein a foaming agent is added to realize lightweight concrete. For lightweight concrete, the foaming mechanisms via diverse chemical reactions were identified, H$_2$O$_2$ was added for heating in the reaction, and the concrete foaming was maximized. Through diverse experiments to determine the optimal mixing proportion of lightweight foamed concrete and to examine the filling characteristic of lightweight foamed concrete for sandwich panel cores using waste materials, the physical and mechanical properties of lightweight foamed concrete were examined.

The self-sealing rubber material for a fuel cell which has self-sealing ability, in case of fuel leakage, was studied. Cure characteristics, density, swelling, and surface morphology of foamed natural rubber were investigated with carbon black and with processing oil within the range of $10{\sim}30phr$. The rheological properties indicated that the value of $ts_2$ and the value of $Tc_{90}$ were increased with increasing a content of processing oil, while carbon black did not show a similar trend. A difference in density by foaming was decreased to one fifth scale compared to the initial value. According to the swelling test of foamed natural rubber in fuel C, isooctane and toluene, all the self-sealing action was finished in two minutes. From the SEM image for the surface of rubber compounding, a foaming by sodium bicarbonate was found to be unequal and consecutive foaming cell.

Three kinds of N-fluoroacyl carboxy pyridinium chlorides were synthesized by the reaction of pyridine-carboxylic acid such as pyridine-2-carboxylic, pyridine-3-carboxylic and pyridine-4-carboxylic acid with long chain perfluoroacyl chloride. The surface chemical properties including surface tension, foaming power, foam stability, effectiveness of wettability and solubilizing effect were measured. These compounds showed good surface activities as emulsifying agent, solubilizing agent and fire-fighting agent.

Casein was chemically modified with acetic, succinic, and maleic anhydride and changes in functional pro-perties were evaluated as affected by the degree of modification. Chemical modification resulted in casein with unique functional properties depending upon the type of anhydrid used and the degree of modification. It was possible to control heat coagulation, calcium precipitability, forming and emulsion capacity and stability. At pH 4.5 heat coagulation was 0% in the case 74.1% acetylated casein; on the contrary, succinylation and maleyation resulted in highly heat sensitive protein. Foaming properties were improved markedly by suc-cinylation and maleylation at pH 4.5. However, emulsifying properties were enhanced only by maleylation.

We performed the experiment to determine the effective factors, such as the initial concentration of protein, pore size of air distributor, SAV (superficial air velocity), pH, salts and temperature related to foaming characteristics. The foam height in a foam generator was increased with the increase of the initial protein concentration and the decrease of pore size. As SAV was increased, the foam height was increased, and the optimum SAV was 0.84 cm/sec. The foam height was highest in the acid region and it was increased with the increase of salt concentration of NaCl and $NaHCO_3.$ The removal efficiencies of TSS (total suspended solid) and turbidity decreased with the increase of the initial protein concentration in the batch foam separator.

$Al_2O_3$ foam is an important engineering material because of its exceptional high-temperature stability, low thermal conductivity, good wear resistance, and stability in hostile chemical environment. In this work, $Al_2O_3$ foams were designed to control the microstructure, porosity, and cell size by varying different parameters such as the amount of amphiphile, solid loading, and stirring speed. Particle stabilized direct foaming technique was used and the $Al_2O_3$ particles were partially hydrophobized upon the adsorption of valeric acid on particles surface. The foam stability was drastically improved when these particles were irreversibly adsorbed at the air/water interface. However, there is still considerable ambiguity with regard to the effect of process parameters on the microstructure of particle-stabilized foam. In this study, the $Al_2O_3$ foam with open and closed-cell structure, cell size ranging from $20{\mu}m$ to $300{\mu}m$ having single strut wall and porosity from 75% to 93% were successfully fabricated by sintering at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in air.

In this work, the properties of environmentally friendly functional panel made from waste aluminum were investigated. Product quality enhancement was pursued through an improved viscosity process, a mixing process by agitating, a foaming process, a cooling process, and a color addition process. An acoustic transmission attenuation test, a sound adsorption rate measurement test, and a foaming condition and scrap mixing test were implemented. As a result, the functional panel made from waste aluminum was ultra lightweight and had excellent properties such as soundproof, sound interception, and shielding harmful electromagnetic waves. Also, the functional panel showed low thermal conductivity (about 2.2 kcal/mh) and excellent heat-insulating property.

Blowing film was prepared using polyester elastomer with thermally expandable microcapsule to investigate the optimum blowing properties and the film making process. Physical properties including specific gravity, blowing efficiency, foaming shape, tensile strength and elongation of polyester film were tested by varying the process condition of temperature and revolution per minutes of the extruder. The lowest specific gravity of 0.709 can be achieved with excellent foaming cells at $210^{\circ}C$ and 50 RPM conditions. The highest tensile strength and elongation was shown at $210^{\circ}C$, 100 RPM and $230^{\circ}C$, 25 RPM conditions. However, most of the prepared polyester films showed over $1kg_f/mm^2$ of tensile strength which is reasonable value to use in film applications.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) supports and amine additives were investigated to adsorb $CO_2$. PMMA supports were fabricated by using different ratio of pore forming agents (porogen) to control the BET specific surface area, pore volume and distribution. Toluene and xylene are used for porogens. Supported amine sorbents were prepared by wet impregnation of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) on PMMA supports. So we could identify the effect of the pore structure of supports and the quantity of impregnated TEPA on the adsorption capacity. The increased amount of toluene as pore foaming agent resulted in the decreased average pore diameter and the increased BET surface area. Polymer supports with huge different pore distribution could be fabricated by controlling the ratio of porogen. After impregnation, the support with micropore structure is supposed the pore blocking and filling effect so that it has low $CO_2$ capacity and kinetics due to the difficulty of diffusing. Macropore structure indicates fast adsorption capacity and low influence of amine loading. In case of support with mesopore, it has high performance of adsorption capacity and kinetics. So high surface area and meso-/macro- pore structure is suitable for $CO_2$ capture.
