본 연구는 실리콘계 정포제의 특성에 따른 폴리우레탄 폼 지수제의 cell 구조와 흡수량 변화를 알아보기 위하여 6종의 정포제를 사용하여 폴리우레탄 폼 지수제를 제조하여 FE-SEM으로 분석한 결과 실리콘 정포제의 실록산 주사슬 말단에 PO n개가 결합되어 있는 DC-193, DC-2585, DC-5125, DC-198의 cell 구조는 close cell로 확인이 되었고, 실리콘 정포제의 실록산 주사슬 말단에 EO n개가 결합 되어 있는 DC-5043과 DC-5598은 open cell 구조로 나타났다. 또한 cell 구조 변화에 따른 흡수량 에서는 close cell의 크기가 가장 세밀하고 균일한 DC-193의 흡수량이 가장 적게 나타나 내수성이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 open cell의 크기가 가장 크게 형성된 DC-5043의 흡수량이 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. 이들의 방수성능을 콘크리트 구조물을 모사하여 시험한 결과 누수가 없음을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 EPP 비드폼에 대한 증기실 조형공정의 기본 원리들과 과정들에 대해 다루고 있습니다. 증기실 조형은 EPP 기술을 위한 필수적인 공정입니다. 그러나 증기실 조형의 공정조건에 대해 연구가 거의 이루어져 있지 않습니다. EPP 폼의 특징들은 에너지흡수, 다양한 충격보호, 가벼운 무게, 구조상의 견고성과 내구성 등이다. 본 연구에서는 증기실 조형에서 증기압을 변화시켜 EPP 폼 제작을 위한 최적조건을 찾고자 노력하였으며, 무엇보다 증기조형 제품의 수축을 방지하기 위하여 EPP 폼 조형후 노내 가열을 수행하였다. 다른 노내 가열 온도들에서 시간에 따라 무게가 바뀌는 것을 관찰함으로써 폼수축의 메커니즘을 확인하는 것이 가능하였다. 인장시험과 SEM 해석을 수행하여 이들 실험결과들을 뒷받침할 수 있었고, 다른 증기압들에서 조형된 제품들에 대해 치수안정성을 조사하였다.

In this study, crosslinked polyethylene (PE) foam sheets were prepared through gamma-ray irradiation. PE foam sheets were prepared through a foaming process using sodium bicarbonate as a blowing and foaming agent. The prepared PE foam sheets were then crosslinked through gamma-ray irradiation. The crosslinking degree was increased to 86.0% with an increase in the absorption dose. The tensile strength of the crosslinked PE foam sheets was increased with an increase in the absorption dose. However, the elongation-at-break of the crosslinked PE foam sheets was decreased. The thermal decomposition temperature of the crosslinked PE foam sheets was increased to $421.2^{\circ}C$ with an increase in the absorption dose. The SEM analysis revealed that the morphology was not changed significantly after the crosslinking through gamma-ray irradiation.

Nb-doped $TiO_2$(NTO) coated NiCrAl alloy foam for hydrogen production is prepared using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition(USPD) method. To optimize the size and distribution of NTO particles based on good physical and chemical stability, we synthesize particles by adjusting the weight ratio of the Nb precursor solution(5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt%). The morphological, chemical bonding, and structural properties of the NTO coated NiCrAl alloy foam are investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy(XPS), and Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FESEM). As a result, the samples of controlled Nb weight ratio exhibit a common diffraction pattern at ${\sim}25.3^{\circ}$, corresponding to the(101) plane, and have chemical bonding(O-Nb=O) at 534 eV. The NTO particles with the optimum weight ratio of N (10 wt%) show a uniform distribution with a size of ~18.2-21.0 nm. In addition, they exhibit the highest corrosion resistance even in the electrochemical stability estimation. As a result, the introduction of NTO coated NiCrAl alloy foam by USPD improves the chemical stability of the NiCrAl alloy foam by protecting the direct electrochemical reaction between the foam and the electrolyte. Thus, the optimized NTO coating can be proposed for excellent protection of NiCrAl alloy foam for hydrocarbon-based steam methane reforming(SMR).

We developed a processing recipe to synthesize flexible polyurethane foam with a pore size of 335 ± 107 ㎛. The gelling reaction time was varied from 0 to 30 minutes and the physical properties of the foam were evaluated. The gelling reaction where the polypropylene glycol and tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) were reacted to form urethane prepolymer, proceeded until a chemical blowing agent, deionized water, was introduced. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra showed that the composition of the foam did not change but the foam height reached a peak value when the gelling reaction time was 10 minutes. We found that increasing the gelling time lessened the coalescence and helped the formation of cells. Lastly, the repeatability of polyurethane foam was confirmed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) by synthesizing ten identical polyurethane foams under the same experimental conditions, including the gelling reaction time. Overall, the new time parameter in-between the gelling and blowing reactions will give extra stability in manufacturing identical polyurethane foams and can be applied to various polyurethane foam processes.

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of self-myofascial release using a foam roller on the quadriceps femoris for pelvic stability. We further compare the effects of a GRID surface Foam Roller (GFR), a Non-Vibration Foam Roller (NVFR), and a Vibration Foam Roller (VFR). Methods: Thirty healthy adults (15 males, 15 females) participated in this study and were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: GFR, NVFR, or VFR. Participants walked at self-selected speeds with an arm sling before and after foam roller stretching. The analyzed gait parameters included pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity, and pelvic rotation. Results: In the NVFR and VFR groups, there was a Significant differences were obtained in the pelvic tilt between pre-test and post-test values (p<0.05) in the NVFR and VFR groups, but no significant difference was observed in the GFR group (p>0.05). Comparing the amount of change between the three groups exhibited a significant decrease in pelvic tilt in the NVFR and VFR groups compared to the GFR group (p<0.017). No significant differences were found in pelvic obliquity and pelvic rotation (p>0.05) in all groups. Conclusion: While walking, the use of a VFR for self-myofascial release results in pelvic alteration by reducing the anterior pelvic tilt. We propose that a foam roller can be utilized to enhance pelvic stability during gait.

Polyurethane foam insulation required for storing and transporting cryogenic liquefied gas is already widely used as a thermal insulation material for commercial LNG carriers and onshore due to its stable price and high insulation performance. These polyurethane foams are reported to have different mechanical performance depending on the density, and the density parameter is determined depending on the amount of the blowing agent. In this study, density-dependent polyurethane foam was fabricated by adjusting the amount of blowing agent. The mechanical properties of polyurethane foam were analyzed in the room temperature and cryogenic temperature range of -163℃ at 1.5 mm/min, which is a quasi-static load range, and the cells were observed through microstructure analysis. The characteristics of linear elasticity, plateau, and densification, which are quasi-static mechanical behaviors of polyurethane foam, were shown, and the correlation between density and mechanical properties in a cryogenic environment was confirmed. The correlation between mechanical behavior and cell size was also analyzed through SEM morphology analysis. Polyurethane foam with a density of 180 kg/m³ had a density about twice as high as that of a polyurethane foam with a density of 96 kg/m³, but yield strength was about 51% higher and cell size was about 9.5% smaller.

This paper investigates the complex permittivity of foam materials using the rectangular waveguide. The transmission coefficients of materials inserted in the waveguide are measured with a network analyzer and calculated from the equivalent transmission line model. We use the trial and error method in the acquisition of the complex permittivity.
