Generally, a silicone rubber and a chloride polyethylene(CPE) have been used for the development of high-performance composite EM(ElectroMagnetic) wave absorber. In this study, the EM wave absorption abilities for natural lacquer which is newly suggested in this study as a binder for composite EM wave absorber were investigated to develop an improved EM wave absorber In addition, MnZn ferrite composite EM wave absorber mixed with the natural lacquer were prepared and their absorption ability was also investigated. MnZn ferrite composite EM wave absorber which employs the natural lacquer as a binder showed an improved EM wave absorption characteristics in comparison with the conventional binder such as a silicone rubber and a chloride polyethylene(CPE). The matching frequency and the absorption ability of EM wave absorber mixed with natural lacquer can be controled the change of the thickness of them.

It was thought that the stiffness of a coated specimen became lower than that of the solid wood because the stiffness of the dried film of coating material is lower than that of the solid wood. The authors were trying to compare the effect of lacquer varnish and rhus lacquer on the resonant frequency of the solid woods for the violin, spruce and maple. Vibration modal shape of coated specimens were same to those of solid woods, but the frequency became lower at each mode as were expected regardless of coat. frequency decrement of coated specimen was getting larger at upper mode in both European violin woods, however, rhus lacquer coated spruce specimens were less affected than lacquer varnish coated specimens.

Generally, a silicone rubber and a chlorinated polyethylene(CPE) have been used as a binder for the development of high-performance composite EM(Electro Magnetic) wave absorbers. In this paper, the EM wave absorption performance of natural lacquer, which is newly proposed as a binder was investigated. The prepared MnZn ferrite EM wave absorbers are mixed with natural lacquer showed excellent EM wave absorption characteristics compared with MnZn ferrite EM wave absorbers which are mixed with the conventional binders. MnZn ferrite EM wave absorbers mixed with natural lacquer were prepared and their absorption ability was also investigated. The EM wave absorbers are fabricated in different proportions of MnZn, or NiZn ferrite and natural lacquer, and their reflection coefficients are measured. The permittivity and permeability are calculated by using the measured reflection coefficients. The EM wave absorption abilities are calculated according to different thicknesses of the EM wave absorbers.

In this study, we obtained fundamental data about Korean raw lacquer's physical and chemical properties to produce high quality lacquer. The tested raw lacquers were obtained from Won-ju in Korea, Shanxishang, Guizhoushang, Anhuishang in China. The drying time of refining lacquers, tensile strengths of dried films and uniformity of films are measured. The refined lacquers were prepared by experimentally scaled refining equipment. Films of lacquer were applied on glasses by film applicator. This films were tested by universal strength test machine. The films were pictured by scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy to define the uniformity of them. The refining method were not different among three different kind of raw lacquers which were different their collecting time and places. But the viscosity of them were quite different. When black refined lacquer is made with iron powder, the adding time of iron powder is critical to control the viscosity of it. The refining times, viscosity and tensile strength of refined lacquers were not depended the method of refining condition but the place of collecting of raw lacquer.

For studying of the characteristics and structures of material in lacquer layer in Joseon Dynasty, 6 types and 7 pieces of sample were observed with the optical microscope and the polarizing microscope. For analyzing, SEM-EDS and FT-IR were used and TOF-SIMS was also used on trial. The former is directly varnished on the iron layer so the sample includes more iron component than the others. In the results of the trial analyzing in TOF-SIMS, it is possible to verify the minerals on the foundation layer with the infinitesimalsample. The analysis results of lacquer layer with FT-IR are compared with previous studies and all the samples have the spectrum of the lacquer. Through the result of the Joseon lacquer layer, there are not many samples, however, when it compared with unified Silla, the period of the Three States, and the previous era, the lacquer layers are simpler than the relics from previous era. It looks to have the relation with the simplification of manufacturing method because of expanding of the using of lacquer wares.

We conducted optical microscopy, infra-red spectroscopy and SEM-EDS analysis of the lacquer layers on the wooden coffins excavated from King Muryeong's Tomb. We found four varnishing methods according to the sub-materials of lacquer layers: The lacquer of wooden coffins with black paint layer on the surface were classified with two groups; single layer and three layers. The lacquer of wooden coffins without black paint layer on the surface were classified with two groups; single layer and two layers. IR spectra of the laquer were same as those of the oriental laquer. The SEM-EDS analysis showed that the lacquer layers were mixed with iron, copper and calcium.

Mother-of-pearl turtle shell lacquerware refers to a decoration made of a mother-of-pearl, a turtle shell and metal wires. This lacquerware features bright color tone as it is produced by sprinkling metal powder over its entire surface. This study aimed to find out its material properties and characteristics by using an optical microscopy and conducting a SEM-EDS analysis on the cross section of lacquer coating. As a result, it was found that charcoal powder and soil powder were mixed for undercoating. Then a mixture of cinnabar lacquer and monoclinic arsenic sulfide mineral ($As_2S_3$) was coated on the undercoating and brass powder was sprinkled on top of it. Especially, a little amount of pigment was found on the lacquer layer, which is distinguished from the colors used for conventional lacquer patterns. In addition, it was also found that the cinnabar lacquer and monoclinic arsenic sulfide mineral were mixed together.

To compare the cleaning effect of solvents such as water and ethanol used to clean lacquer relics, the components extracted with various solvents were analyzed. A freshly dried lacquer sample and a lacquer sample exposed to ultraviolet radiation for 24 days were treated with water, ethanol, acetone, and hexane, and the dissolved material was detected by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The amount extracted was significantly higher in acetone and ethanol than in hexane, a nonpolar solvent. Water, a highly polar solvent, was relatively efficient for extracting low-molecular-weight materials. After experiencing 24 days of ultraviolet radiation, the lacquer exhibited a significant increase of extracted materials compared with the nonexposed one. This may be due to the degradation of the urushiol chain in the form of polymers, resulting in the formation of low-molecular-weight polar substances, including dicarboxylic acids. In addition to the deterioration status of lacquer relics, such solvent extraction properties will be a crucial consideration in selecting the appropriate cleaning solvent.

This study was conducted to investigate characteristics related to lacquer yield and to evaluate possibility of indirect selection of Rhus verniciflua Stokes. Twenty-four lacquer trees were randomly selected for measuring growth, urushiol content and bark thickness. Urushiol content showed a significant positive correlation with outer bark thickness and secretory canal density at 1% level, and with inner bark thickness at 5% level. Bark thickness and secretory canal density could be used as indicators for high urushiol content within bark and thus for high lacquer yield. Mass selection for high lacquer yield was made based on urushiol content within bark. Sixteen individuals with the highest urushiol content value were selected for breeding. As expected, the selected trees had thicker bark, higher density of secretory canal, better developed secretory canals compare to the non-selected lacquer trees.
