Anionic epoxy compound was synthesized and added to asphalt aiming to prepare self-healing asphalt. Epoxy-modified asphalt showed excellent modification effect and healing effect as well. The results revealed that with 5% addition of polymer the tensile strength, impact strength and complex shear modulus of the polymer-modified asphalt increased by 65%. 64% and 35%, respectively. It seems that high interaction occurs between polymer and asphalt matrix. Self-healing efficiency of the polymer-modified asphalt based on tensile strength showed 100%, comparing to 79% of straight asphalt. In impact experiment the polymer-modified asphalt showed 99% of healing efficiency, comparing to 77% of straight asphalt. In rheological experiment the polymer-modified asphalt showed 103% of healing efficiency, comparing to 72% of straight asphalt. It appears that the ionic bonding existing in epoxy polymers contributed to high values of self-healing efficiency. The polymer which has high intermolecular force fills the crack of the asphalt, pulling the opponent side each other, and so the original properties were restored.

In general, cracks significantly deteriorate the in-situ performance of concrete members and structures, especially in urban metro tunnels that have been embedded in saturated soft soils. The microcapsule self-healing method is a newly developed healing method for repairing cracked concrete. To investigate the optimal microcapsule parameters that will have the best healing effect in concrete, a 3D analytical probability healing model is proposed; it is based on the microcapsule self-healing method's healing mechanism, and its purpose is to predict the healing efficiency and healing probability of given cracks. The proposed model comprehensively considers the radius and the volume fraction of microcapsules, the expected healing efficiency, the parameters of cracks, the broken ratio and the healing probability. Furthermore, a simplified probability healing model is proposed to facilitate the calculation. Then, a Monte Carlo test is conducted to verify the proposed 3D analytical probability healing model. Finally, the influences of microcapsules' parameters on the healing efficiency and the healing probability of the microcapsule self-healing method are examined in light of the proposed probability model.

This study focused on the introduction of the self-healing technique for polymeric composites and evaluated the healing efficiency through the interlainar fracture toughness tests. The DCPD and ENB were used for a healing agent and the Grubbs' catalyst as a catalyst. The healing efficiency was evaluated by the use of mode I and the mode n fracture toughnesses. According to the results, the DCPD-ENB mixture with a suitable ratio revealed better healing efficiency than DCPD only.

This project was planned to construct the healing environment in medical clinic. The concepts of design were extracted from the literatures on this subject, and reflected on the output of design. The main concepts for the healing environment consisted of light, control of privacy and communication, efficiency, comfort, and identity. As a result the healing values had been realized in this medical clinic with design concepts, and we expected that they would provide users of this clinic with well-being society.

자가치유형 아스팔트를 구현하기 위하여 분자간결합력이 큰 고분자를 아스팔트에 투입시켰다. 사용된 고분자는 셜린, 나일론 및 폴리에스터이다. 이 고분자들은 가공온도가 $200^{\circ}C$를 넘어 고체상태로는 투입이 어려워 용액상태로 첨가하였다. 고분자가 첨가된 아스팔트들은 우수한 개질효과와 치유효과를 나타내었다. 인장강도에서 고분자개질아스팔트들은 고분자가 5% 투입되었으나 강도는 18%이상 증가하였다. 고분자와 아스팔트분자 간에 상호작용이 있는 것으로 보인다. 특히 셜린과의 분자간결합력이 가장 큰 것으로 보인다. 셜린은 아스팔트와 수소결합 및 아스팔트내에 존재하는 금속들과 이온결합을 할 것이다. 치유성에 있어서는 인장강도 면에서 셜린이 가장 높은 138%의 치유능을 나타내었으며 복합모듈러스 면에서는 폴리에스터가 141%의 치유능을, 충격강도 면에서는 나일론이 131%의 치유능을 보였다. 이는 치유능 해석에서 고분자의 분자간결합력도 중요 사항이지만 고분자와 아스팔트간의 상호작용 또한 중요한 고려 사항이 되어야함을 의미한다.

Structural polymer composites are susceptible to damage in the form of cracks, which form deep within the structure where detection is difficult and repair is almost impossible. A recent methodology for the damage repair of polymer composites using the self-healing technique is reported. The polymerization of the healing agent is triggered by contact with an embedded catalyst, being necessary to damage repair of polymer composites. For this purpose, the self-healing concept is introduced and the manufacturing process of microcapsule with the healing agent is briefly described. The polymerization between the healing agent and the catalyst is verified by the use of ESEM and IR spectroscopy. Finally the efficiency of the self-healing technique is investigated by measuring the critical load of TDCB specimen.

Recently, the self-healing technique is being investigated to repair the damaged polymeric composites by the use of microcapsules with the healing agent. This technique can obtains both the damage detection and the damage repair simultaneously over the converntional repairing techniques. In this study, the effects of the catalyst ratio to the healing agent and thermal characteristics to the mixtures of healing agent are investigated through single lap shear tests and DSC. The Healing agents such as DCPD, ENB, and their mixtures are considered and Grubb's catalyst is used as a catalst.

The treatment of wounds of the lower extremity caused by diabetes or vascular dysfunction remains a difficult problem for the plastic surgeon. The use of negative pressure in wound healing is a relatively new method to facilitate chronic wound healing by secondary healing. The use of vacuum-assisted closure(VAC) system is purposed to reduce local edema, increase regional blood flow, enhance epithelial migration, preserve a moist wound environment, reduce bacterial colonization, promote granulation tissue formation, and mechanically enhance wound closure. The VAC also can be used as a dressing for anchoring an applied split thickness skin graft. We reviewed the data from 20 consecutive patients with non-healing wound in lower extremity at Dong-A University from March 2002 to December 2004. We used the VAC in 20 patients and compared the results with the control group. In the VAC using group, mean application duration was about 3 weeks and dressing change was done every other day. The follow-up period of patients ranged from 3 months to 30 months with a mean of 17 months. The points of comparison with control group are wound size, granulation tissue proliferation rate, operation method, preoperative time, postoperative healing time, complication, and cost. With those points, we propose to approve the efficiency of the VAC in non-healing wound. As a result, the VAC used in non-healing wound decrease wound size, accelerate granulation tissue formation, do a wound closure with less invasive operation method, make less postoperative complication, can make operation time shorter. Therefore it is cost effect. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of VAC as an adjunct in management of chronic wounds with other extrinsic factors.
