Calcium silicate based cement (CSC) is a low-carbon cement that emits less CO₂ by up to 70% compared to ordinary Portland cement during its manufacture. Most developed countries have commercialized CSC, whereas Korea is still investigating the manufacturing characteristics and basic properties of CSC. This paper provides a review of methods for manufacturing CSC using domestic raw materials and discusses the possibility of CSC localization based on an evaluation of the basic physical properties of manufactured CSC. The experimental results of this study indicate that the primary mineral components of CSC were CS, C₃S₂ C₂S, and unreacted SiO₂. This suggests the possibility of manufacturing CSC using domestic raw materials that exhibit mineral compositions similar to that of theoretical CSC. The compressive strength of CSC mortar is less than 1MPa at the age of 7 d under wet curing. This implies that hydration does not affect the property development of CSC mortar. Meanwhile, during carbonation curing, the compressive strength is 56 MPa or higher after 7 d, which indicates excellent early strength development. Furthermore, results of Thermogravimetric Analysis Differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC) show that a significant amount of CaCO₃ is formed, which is consistent with the results of previous studies. This implies that carbonation is associated significantly with the properties of CSC.

A patient with respiratory disorders such as a sleep apnea is increasing as the obese patient increase on the modern society. Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) devices are used in curing patient with respiratory disorders and turn out to be efficacious for patients of 75%. However, these devices are required for evaluating their performance to improve their performance by the mechanical breathing simulator. Recently, the mechanical breathing simulator was studied by the real time feedback control. However, the mechanical breathing simulator by an open loop control was specially required in order to analyze the effect of flow rate and pressure after operating the breathing auxiliary devices. Therefore the aims of this study were to make the mechanical breathing simulator by a piston motion and a valve function from the characteristic test of valve and motor, and to duplicate the flow rate and pressure profiles of some breathing patterns: normal and three disorder patterns. The mechanical simulator is composed cylinder, valve, ball screw and the motor. Also, the characteristic test of the motor and the valve were accomplished in order to define the relationship between the characteristics of simulator and the breathing profiles. Then, the flow rate and pressure profile of human breathing patterns were duplicated by the control of motor and valve. The result showed that the simulator reasonably duplicated the characteristics of human patterns: normal, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), mild hypopnea with snore and mouth expiration patterns. However, we need to improve this simulator in detail and to validate this method for other patterns.

In this study, stabilization treatment of heavy metals such as Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn in contaminated marine sediment was achieved using bentonite. Stabilization experiment was accomplished by wet-curing with bentonite for 150 days. From the sequential extraction results of heavy metals, it was observed that the easily extractable fraction (exchangeable, carbonate, and oxides forms) of Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn in a treated sediment decreased to 8.5%, 5.6%, 19.2%, and 28.2%, respectively, compared with untreated sediment. Moreover, the TCLP(Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) results evaluating efficiency of extraction reduction of heavy metals showed that extraction of heavy metals reduced drastically to 95.7%, 96.8%, 99.2%, 85.9% for Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn by stabilization when compared to untreated sediment. From these results, we can confirm that bentonite as a capping material exhibits good stabilization of heavy metals in contaminated marine sediment.

할로겐 난연재료 및 고분자의 연소시 Dioxine의 문제점이 대두되고 있어 유럽국가를 중심으로 할로겐 난연제 사용을 규제하고 있다. 환경과 인체에 대한 안정성을 고려해서 저 유해 가스화, 저 발연화, 저 부식성, 리사이클링 등을 겸비한 제품의 개발로 관심이 모아지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 환경친화적인 금속화합(수산화 알루미늄)을 사용하여 연소시 발생할 수 있는 난연성, 무독성, 소연성 등을 함량별로 확인하고 난연재가 증가할수록 취약한 기계적 물성 보완을 위해 moisture cure crosslikable 기술로 케이블절연 및 자켓 피복층 특성을 증가 시켰다. 그러나 수산화알루미늄 함량이 증가할수록 기계적 물성과 기타 특성도 감소하는 경향을 보이고 있어 최적의 난연제 조성함량이 약 130~150 phr정도에서 우수한 결과를 확인하였다. 또한 moisture cure agent는 전선압출 시 표면에 scorch 및 장기 압출에 영향을 주므로 약 1.5~2phr 범위에서 처방하는 것이 우수하다. 원료투입 후 mixing 공정 중에서는 온도관리가 매우 중요하므로 되도록 믹싱 온도를 $130^{\circ}C$ 이하를 유지해야한다. 온도는 수산화알루미늄의 분산성과 케이블 피복압출 시 표면에도 영향을 주기 때문이다 본 연구는 이런 작업방법을 통해 친환경 가교 난연콤파운드가 비(比) 가교된 제품에 비해 특성이 증가되는 것을 입증할 수 있었다.

Recently, Silicone that one of the thermo-sets is used to making optical products such as LED lenses because of excellent thermal properties. LED lenses are required to keep the precise dimensions, so they must be molded to have the minimum deformation. Thermo-sets have the expansion characteristic on the part of thermal property, it is important to optimize the cure condition so that the deformation of the part become minimum. In this study, to investigate the relationship between the shrinkage by the curing and expansion by the thermal properties of the resin, reactive injection experiment was performed by setting the variables such as mold setting temperature, cure time. As a result, it was confirmed that there was a interval while the thermal properties were transferred to more active during the cure process. It is expected to help in determining the reactive injection molding conditions of the thermo-set parts as well as LED lens in order to reduce the amount of deformation.

Shrinkage may cause cracking in concrete. In practice such cracking must be considered in most concrete applications because, under normal conditions, drying of the concrete is unavoidable, and when drying takes place shrinkage occurs. Cracked concrete is an inferior concrete because it is weaker, more permeable, and more susceptible to chemical attack. The development of the strength of LAC with aging depends on a few factors such as type of the cement, W/C ratio, curing conditions and periods. The higher the strength of LAC, the lower the possibility of shrinkage cracking. Hence, the strength of LAC in the hypocaust system depends to a large extent on the effect of cracking decrease of the antifoaming rate to drying shrinkage in cement.

To survive in outdoor environments, photovoltaic modules rely on packaging materials to provide requisite durability. We analyzed the properties of encapsulant materials that are important for photovoltaic module packaging. Recently, the thickness of solar cell gets thinner to reduce the quantity of silicon. And the reduced thickness make it easy to be broken while PV module fabrication process. Solar cell's micro cracks are increasing the breakage risk over the whole value chain from the wafer to the finished module, because the wafer or cell is exposed to tensile stress during handling and processing. This phenomenon might make PV module's maximum power and durability down. So, when using thin solar cell for PV module fabrication, it is needed to optimize the material and fabrication condition which is quite different from normal thick solar cell process. Normally, gel-content of EVA sheet should be higher than 80% so PV module has long term durability. But high gel-content characteristic might cause micro-crack on solar cell. In this experiment, we fabricated several specimen by varying curing temperature and time condition. And from the gel-content measurement, we figure the best fabrication condition. Also we examine the crack generation phenomenon during experiment.
