  • Density of a dye or pigment teduces by radiant energym and dinsity change induces color change. In this paper, we habe worked out an equation to predict the color change by the radiant energy under the assumption of colorant density changing pattern by radiant energy and the color changing pattern by colorant density chane. And the damaging factors in the equation was established by experiments. To evaluate the efectiveness of the equation and the method, several samples were irradiated by common light source and color change was measured. Good coincidence between the ceasured and the calculated color change was found. And it was also found that there is a close relationhaip between the spectral damaging factor and the spectral absorptance in visible wavelength range.

  • Global warming affects water supply and water resources throughout the world. In many countries, climate change affects significantly on the fresh water resources. Vietnam is exposed mainly, to landslides and floods triggered by tropical storms and monsoon rains, although storm surge, whirlwind, river bank and coastal line erosion, hail rain. In addition to the prevalent drought, there are many major water challenges, including water availability, stress, scarcity and accessibility, because of poor resource management. Fast growth of urbanization, industrialization and population growth, agricultural activities and climate change cause heavy pressure on water quality. Both domestic and industrial wastewater, as well as storm water shares the same drainage. The common facilities for wastewater treatment are not available. Therefore, wastewater is treated only superficially and then discharged directly into rivers and lakes causing serious pollution of surface water environment. In this paper, we reported the severe water crisis and massive green algal blooms formation in Vietnam rivers and lakes. This is the biggest evidence of climate change variations in Vietnam.

  • 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.

  • A new shape-stable composite phase change material (PCM) have been produced via an easy and simple vacuum impregnation method. The composite PCM have been derived from almond shell biochar (ASB) as supporting material and capric acid (CA) as phase change material. Cost effective waste almond shells (AS) are renewable, eco-friendly, and rich in pores which enhance the possibility of CA impregnation. Therefore, in this study, three different ratios of CA (1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) have been incorporated in ASB to produce shape-stabilized phase change composites (ASCAs). Different techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscope (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) have been applied to evaluate the characteristics of ASCAs. The attained composite PCMs have exhibited shape stability with high latent heat storage, that makes it suitable for thermal energy storage applications.

  • The methods for estimating the change of free energy in dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) are discussed on the basis of fluctuation theorems. Fluctuation theorems are tactics to evaluate free energy changes from non-equilibrium work distributions and have several forms, as proposed by Jarzynski, Crooks, and Bennett. The validity of these methods however, has been shown merely with the molecular dynamics or Langevin dynamics. In this study, the appropriate forms of fluctuation theorems for dissipative particle dynamics, which has similar structure to that of Langevin dynamics, are suggested using Liouville's theorem, and they are proved equivalent to original fluctuation theorems. Work distribution functions, which are probability distribution functions of works exerted on the system within the systematic change, are the basics of fluctuation theorems and their shapes are turned out to be dependent on the phase space trajectory of the change of the system. The reliability of Jarzynski and Crooks methods is highly dependent on the number of simulations to measure works and the shapes of the work distribution functions. Bennett method, however, can evaluate free energy changes even when Jarzynski and Crooks methods fail to do so.
