In communication systems, there are various types of microstrip antenna that can be used for many applications. This paper mainly focuses on the simple design of an inset rectangular microstrip patch antenna to operate at a frequency of 2.45 GHz for rectenna design. The study involves using an high frequency structure simulator to design the antenna dimensions and to determine its performance. This antenna is based on a thickness of 1.6 mm flame retardant 4 (FR-4) substrate having a dielectric constant of approximately 4.7, an inset feed, and a ground plane. After simulation, the antenna performance characteristics such as its return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, gain, and radiation pattern were obtained and compared with the fabricated measured antenna.

In this study, the heat release rate of pipe insulation is analyzed by considering the installation status in accordance with the standards ISO 20632 and NFPA 274. The flame retardation rate was evaluated for six types of test samples: polyethylene foam covered with beaten silver (PE(S)), PE foam tapped (PE(N)), elastomeric closed cell thermal insulation (rubber), Japanese PE foam (PE(J)), Japanese polyurethane foam (PU(J)), and Japanese styro form (ST(J)) by EN 13501-1 and fire growth curve. The results show that PU(J), PE(J), and PE(N) were Class E and ultra-fast, NFPA 274 test standards for Class D and Fast, and PE(S) by ISO 20632 were Class C and Slow, and Rubber and ST(J) were Classes and Low. However, the changes in the time-averaged maximum heat release rate for each test standard (ISO 20632 and NFPA 274) to evaluate the flame retardation rate differed among identical materials. This means that the fundamental study is necessary to analyze the more accurate reasons.

In this study, EIFS (Exterior insulation finish system) of exterior cladding was applied Cone calorimeter test to confirm the effect of flame retardant. As a results, the initial ignition points in accordance with the coated form and concentration of the flame retardant was delayed. But flame resistant treatment of EIFS cladding to control the fire will not affect confirmed that. In addition, EIFS that uses high-density and low-density due to difference in the density of the impact of the fire was no difference. The exterior of the ignition experiment occurred before and after 40 seconds, heat release rate to 100 seconds appears to occur about 90 % compared with the other exterior wall materials, the initial fire spread very fast was confirmed. EIFS cladding in order to prevent the spread of fire in the application of EIFS legally use is limited by the use of the building. And flame spread can be prevented, such as a vertical outer wall compartment measures are urgently needed.

In this study, the flame retardant and physical properties of the expandable graphite/polyurethane foam composites were considered by the addition of expandable graphite. The tensile strength of expandable graphite/polyurethane foam composites decreased with the content of the expandable graphite and the analysis of cell shape by SEM has shown that as the expandable graphite content increases, the cell becomes uneven and collapses. As the results of the compressive strength, density and air permeability tests, it was found that density and as the content of the expandable graphite increased, the compressive strength of the composites increased but air permeability decreased. When the amount of expandable graphite was added at 10 phr or higher, the foam has excellent flame retardation performance. Analysis of the degree of diffraction by X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that as the content of the expandable graphite increased, the crystal peak of the graphite appeared near $2{\theta}=26^{\circ}$.

Natural clays are composed of oxide layers whose thickness is about 1nm and cations existing between the layers. A number of these layers makes primary particles with a height of about 8∼10nm and these primary particles make aggregates with a size of about 0.1∼10$\mu\textrm{m}$. When layered silicate was made to be organophilic, by exchanging the interlayer cations with organic cationic molecules, the matrix polymer can penetrate between the layers to give a nanocomposite, where 1nm-scal clay layers exist separately in a continuous polymer matrix. These nanostructured hybrid organic-inorganic composites have attracted the great interest of researchers over the last 10 years. They exhibit improved performance properties compared with conventional composites, because their unique phase morphology by layer intercalation or exfoliation maximizes interfacial contact between the organic and inorganic phases and enhances interfacial properties. Since the advent of nylon-6/montmorillonite nanocomposite developed by Toyota Motor Co., the studies on layered silicate-polymer nanocomposites have been successfully extended to other polymer systems. They greatly improved the thermal, mechanical, barrier, and even the flame-retardant properties of the polymers.

The test methods on materials of electrical power cable are used in accordance with 25 specifications of IEC, ASTM, ICEA, KS and KEPCO Spec. The validation of test methods were checked and stablished by solving the problems occurred during the test. These tests are flammability, degree of acidity of gases, amount of halogen acid gas, smoke density, oxygen index, amount of ion in semiconductor, void, amber, contaminant and water tree, crosslinked density. Then the performance of power cable made by A, B, C and D company were evaluated and compared.

건축물의 밀집화로 인해 화재 확산으로 인한 피해를 막기 위한 연구는 꾸준히 진행되었다. 이에 방화구획이 도입 되었으며 이 중 방화문은 화염과 연기 전파를 차단하는 문의 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 목재 방화문에 사용되는 목재의 난연제 처리에 따른 난연 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, $0.7kgf/cm^2$ 진공압력 내에서 30분간의 함침 처리를 통해 난연성능을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 방염제가 적용되는 방염대상물에 대한 검정기술기준과 목조문화재에 적용되는 방염제의 검정기준의 차이에 대해 비교하여 보았으며 이를 통해 단청 등이 도색되어 있는 대부분의 목조문화재에 적용되는 방염제의 성능과 방염 처리되어진 일반 목재의 방염성능평가방법에 대하여 생각해 보았다. 목조문화재용 방염제 검정기준 내의 방염성 평가는 소방방재청 고시 제 2009-31호의 "방염제의 형식승인 및 검정기술기준"과 비교하였을 때 목재를 비교대상으로 할 경우 방염성능 기준 및 측정방법과 동일하거나 거의 유사하였으며 방염제의 물성 등에 대한 기본적인 평가방법 또한 동일한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 시험시편에 대한 규정에 있어서 목조문화재용 시험편의 경우 일정 두께이하로 규정하고 있어 시험하는 시편의 두께에 따라 방염성능 평가기준에 도달하지 못하는 경우가 발생할 수 있을 것으로 판단되어진다.

1999년 씨랜드 청소년 수련원 화재로 19명이 사망하여 샌드위치 패널의 위험성이 대두되었으며, 2008년도 이천 냉동창고 화재 그리고 최근 2009년 11월 19일에도 샌드위치 패널로 건축된 물류창고에서 화재가 발생하였다. 이러한 샌드위치 패널로 시공된 물류창고 등의 화재는 확대가 빠르므로 난연재 소재의 샌드위치 패널의 필요성에 대한 관심이 높아져 가고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폴리스티렌 폼을 심재로 한 샌드위치 패널의 장점에 난연성을 부과하여 화재 안전성을 도출하는 하고자 한다. 샌드위치 패널의 심재로 주로 사용되어지는 EPS 비드에 저가의 물유리를 코팅하여 난연성을 도출하고자 한다. 2차 발포 성형시에 물유리가 고온의 스팀에 씻겨 내려가지 않고 남아서 난연성을 나타내도록 하는 것이 목표이다.

본 연구에서는 친환경 인테리어용으로 개발된 벽포지에 대해 방염성능이 시험되었다. 실제로 방염성능은 "45$^{\circ}$ 연소시험" 및 "접염시험", 그리고 "연기밀도시험"에 의해서 수행되었다. 벽포지의 주성분이 고온에서 쉽게 용융하는 PET(폴리에스터) 이다. PET의 이런 물성으로 인하여 "45$^{\circ}$ 연소시험"과 "연기밀도시험"의 요구조건들은 쉽게 만족시킬 수 있었지만, 용융 물품에 대해 추가로 요구되는 "접염시험"은 통과하기 어려웠다. 총 47종 109점에 대해 방염성능시험을 수행한 결과 18종 54점이 요구조건을 만족하였다. 일반적으로 보드에 배접된 상태로 시공되는 모듈의 난연성능을 개선하기 위해서는 벽포지의 방염성능뿐만 아니라 보드, 접착제 등의 특성에 관한 보다 많은 연구가 필요하다.
