The inverse spinel Cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄, CFO) is considered to be a promising alternative to commercial graphite anodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, the further development of CFO is limited by its unstable structure during battery cycling and low electrical conductivity. In an effort to address the challenge, we construct three-dimensional hierarchical flower-like CFO nanoclusters (CFO NCs)-decorated carbonized cotton carbon fiber (CFO NCs/CCF) composite. This structure is consisted of microfibers and nanoflower cluster composited of CFO nanoparticle, in which CCF can be used as a long-range conductive matrix, while flower-like CFO NCs can provide abundant active sites, large electrode/electrolyte interface, short lithium ion diffusion path, and alleviated structural stress. As anode materials in LIBs, the flower-like CFO NCs/CCF exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. After 100 cycles at a current density of 0.3 A g^-1, the CFO NCs/CCF delivers a discharge/charge capacity of 1008/990 mAh g^-1. Even at a high current density of 15 A g^-1, it still maintains a charge/discharge capacity of 362/361 mAh g^-1.

콘크리트는 초기에 인장강도가 확보되지 못하므로 건조수축과 같은 재료적인 균열이 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 셀룰로오즈 섬유를 0.0 ~ 2.0% 혼입한 콘크리트를 대상으로 공기량, 슬럼프와 같은 작업성을 평가하였으며, 재령에 따른 압축 및 인장강도를 평가하였다. 혼입률이 증가할수록 1.0kg/㎥ 수준에서는 공기량 및 슬럼프에서 저하를 확인할 수 없었으며, 이러한 작업성은 2시간까지 유효하게 작용하였다. 강도 평가에서는 혼입률이 증가할수록 인장 및 압축강도가 개선되었으며, 압축강도의 경우 7 ~ 9%수준으로, 인장강도에서는 7 ~ 22% 수준으로 증가하였다. 인장강도에서 증가율이 상대적으로 크게 평가되었는데, 이러한 효과는 균열저항성에 크게 도움을 주리라 판단된다. 본 연구를 통하여 2분간의 혼입 시간, 셀룰로오즈 섬유 1.0kg/㎥의 혼입률 수준이면 120분간 작업성에 큰 영향이 없으리라 평가된다.

Processed meat products play a vital role in our daily dietary intake due to their rich protein content and the inherent convenience they offer. However, they often contain synthetic additives and ingredients that may pose health risks when taken excessively. This review explores strategies to improve meat product quality, focusing on three key approaches: substituting synthetic additives, reducing the ingredients potentially harmful when overconsumed like salt and animal fat, and boosting nutritional value. To replace synthetic additives, natural sources like celery and beet powders, as well as atmospheric cold plasma treatment, have been considered. However, for phosphates, the use of organic alternatives is limited due to the low phosphate content in natural substances. Thus, dietary fiber has been used to replicate phosphate functions by enhancing water retention and emulsion stability in meat products. Reducing the excessive salt and animal fat has garnered attention. Plant polysaccharides interact with water, fat, and proteins, improving gel formation and water retention, and enabling the development of low-salt and low-fat products. Replacing saturated fats with vegetable oils is also an option, but it requires techniques like Pickering emulsion or encapsulation to maintain product quality. These strategies aim to reduce or replace synthetic additives and ingredients that can potentially harm health. Dietary fiber offers numerous health benefits, including gut health improvement, calorie reduction, and blood glucose and lipid level regulation. Natural plant extracts not only enhance oxidative stability but also reduce potential carcinogens as antioxidants. Controlling protein and lipid bioavailability is also considered, especially for specific consumer groups like infants, the elderly, and individuals engaged in physical training with dietary management. Future research should explore the full potential of dietary fiber, encompassing synthetic additive substitution, salt and animal fat reduction, and nutritional enhancement. Additionally, optimal sources and dosages of polysaccharides should be determined, considering their distinct properties in interactions with water, proteins, and fats. This holistic approach holds promise for improving meat product quality with minimal processing.

In this study, effects of kneading concentration on characteristics of hardwood bleached kraft pulp (HwBKP) fibers were elucidated. A laboratory two-shaft kneader was utilized for kneading. Kneading concentration was varied in the range of 15-30% (w/w) and the number of kneading treatment was adjusted between 0 and 6 passes. It was found that kneading concentration influenced fiber characteristics. At 15% of pulp concentration, fiber length slightly increased with increasing the number of kneading passes, while other morphological properties such as fiber width and curl decreased: fiber straightening occurred. In addition, the increase in WRV and the decrease in CSF were the largest at 15% kneading concentration, meanings that fibrillation mainly occurred. In contrast, at higher kneading concentration exceeding 20%, fiber deformation like curl was mainly occurred. Also, at kneading concentration of 20% and 30%, fiber length decreased with the number of kneading passes while other morphological properties such as fiber width, and WRV increased. Severe fiber entanglement was found at 30% kneading, which shall be removed during papermaking.

In this study, the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy composites were studied. Composites were fabricated using short bamboo fiber at four different fiber loading (0 wt%, 15 wt%, 30 wt% and 45 wt%). It has been observed that few properties increases significantly with respect to fiber loading, however properties like void fraction increases from 1.71% to 5.69% with the increase in fiber loading. Hence, in order to reduce the void fraction, improve hardness and other mechanical properties silicon carbide (SiC) filler is added in bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy composites at four different weight percentages (0 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt%) by keeping fiber loading constant (45 wt%). The significant improvement of hardness (from 46 to 57 Hv) at 15 wt%SiC, tensile strength (from 10.48 to 13.44 MPa) at 10 wt% SiC, flexural strength (from 19.93 to 29.53 MPa) at 5 wt%SiC and reduction of void fraction (from 5.69 to 3.91%) at 5 wt%SiC is observed. The results of this study indicate that using particulate filled bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy composites could successfully develop a composite material in terms of high strength and rigidity for light weight applications compared to conventional bamboo composites. Finally, SEM studies were carried out to evaluate fibre/matrix interactions.

Wasting fiberous residues from the cutting processes of steel materials at an iron-Works were mixed with concrete. The strength and toughness of steel fiber concrete with different steel contents were tested in a laboratory. The test results showed that the steel fiber residues can be used for the reinforcement of concrete. The potential applications of such product include floor constructions for facilities like dairy barns, grain storages, and machinery shops. The test results are as follows. 1. The compressive strengths of steel fiber concrete with one percent steel content by volume were 20 percent greater than that of plain concrete. The treatments also increased the concrete toughness by 96 percent. 2. When applied to tensile forces, the steel fiber concrete showed the increased strengths by 20 percent, and the toughness by 48 percent. 3. The steel content levels greater than or equal to 1.5 percent by volume resulted in the decreases of the compressive and tensile strengths of steel fiber concrete by 10 percent as compared to plain concrete. The concrete toughness increased with the steel contents. 4. The reinforcement effects of steel fiber depend on the quality of fiber material being used. Good steel fiber for concrete reinforcement appears to be uniform in shape and component, fine and long, and round-shaped.

Research on permeable pavement like asphalt and concrete pavement with porous structure has been increasing due to environmental and functional need such as reduction of run off and flood, and increase and purification of underwater resource. This study was performed to evaluate permeability, strengths and durability of permeable polymer concrete (PPC) using recycled aggregate that is obtained from waste concrete. Also, 6mm length of polypropylene fiber was used to increase toughness and interlocking between aggregate and aggregate surrounded by binder. In the test results, regardless of kinds of aggregates and fiber contents, the compressive strength and permeability coefficient of all types of PPC showed the higher than the criterion of porous concrete that is used in permeable pavement in Korea. Also, strengths of PPC with increase polypropylene fiber volume fraction showed slightly increased tendency due to increase binder with increase of fiber volume fraction. The weight reduction ratios for PPC after 300 cycles of freezing and thawing were in the range of 1.6~3.8 % and 2.2~5.6 %, respectively. The weight change ratio was very low regardless of the fiber volume fraction and aggregates. The weight reduction ratios of PPC with fiber and aggregate were in the range of 1.3~2.7 % and 2.2~3.2 % after 13 weeks and was very low regardless of the fiber volume fraction and aggregates.

광섬유 센서는 구조물에 대한 비파괴적인 측정이 가능하고, 전자파에 의한 간섭이 발생하지 않으므로, 전자파 장애의 영향을 무시할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 구조물 건조시 콘크리트 같은 대상체에 광섬유를 내장시킬 경우에는 검사시 대상체를 파괴시키지 않고서도 대상체의 손상여부와 역학적 거동을 측적 및 해석할 수 있는 비파괴 검사기술이다. 특히 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 그러한 대상체에 대한 비파괴 검사를 수행하는데 가장 적합한 센서이다. 광섬유 브래그 격자는 특정파장의 빛을 반사 또는 제거시키는 특성을 지니고 있으며, 스트레인 같은 물리량이 광섬유 브래그 격자에 가해지면, 반사되는 빛의 중심파장이 이동하여 이를 통해 물리량을 측정할 수 있다. 정 동적 스트레인을 측정할 수 있는 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 건축물이나 토목구조물 등의 안전 진단(health monitoring)을 위해 사용되고 있으며, 최근에는 도로나 교량과 같은 토목 구조물로의 응용에 있어서 필수적인 동적 스트레인의 측정에 대해 그 관심이 집중퇴고 있다. 본 연구에서는 패브리-페로(Fabry-Perot) 필터를 이용하여 다중점에서 동적 스트레인을 측정할 수 있는 센서 시스템을 제작하였으며, 제작된 센서 시스템을 모의 구조물(외팔보)에 적응하여 모의 구조물에 가해지는 정적, 동적 스트레인을 측정하였다. 측정 결과는 기존의 전기적 센서와 유사하였다.

There has been extensive interest in the development of new nanocomposites. One kind of these systems is the hybrid based on organic polymers and inorganic minerals consisting of layered silicates. Some properties like stiffness, strength, barrier properties, thermal, and oxidative stability can be improved by the presence of the filler in the polymeric matrix[1]. It is reported that, in the nylon 6/clay nanocomposites, the modulus is increased, but impact strength and elongation at break are drastically decreased. (omitted)

Optical-fiber sensors have been developed to determine the concentrations of glucose and lactic acid in blood samples. Fluorescence dye [tris(2,2'-biphenyridine)-ruthenium(II)-chloride (RuBPY)] was entrapped by using a silicon to the unclad tip of a glass optic fiber. Enzymes like glucose oxidase (GOD) and lactate oxidase (LOD) have been immobilized by acrylamide resin adhesive, adsorption with zeolite or covalent bonding with aminopropyl-triethoxysilan. The fiber-optic glucose/lactate sensor was then used to analyze the concentrations of glucose and lactate in blood samples. The results were compared with the results of HPLC analysis and their difference was in error by less then 5 %.
