SiC materials have been extensively studied for high temperature components in advanced energy system and advanced gas turbine. However, the brittle characteristics of SiC such as low fracture toughness and low strain-to fracture still impose a severe limitation on practical applications of SiC materials. For these reasons, $SiC_f/SiC$ composites can be considered as a promising for various structural materials, because of their good fracture toughness compared with monolithic SiC ceramics. But, high temperature and pressure lead to the degradation of the reinforcing fiber during the hot pressing. Therefore, reduction of sintering temperature and pressure is key requirements for the fabrication of $SiC_f/SiC$ composites by hot pressing method. In the present work, Monolithic LPS-SiC was fabricated by hot pressing method in Ar atmosphere at 1760 $^{\circ}C$, 1780 $^{\circ}C$, 1800 $^{\circ}C$ and 1820 $^{\circ}C$ under 20 MPa using $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ system as sintering additives in order to low sintering temperature. The starting powder was high purity ${\beta}-SiC$ nano-powder with an average particle size of 30 nm. Monolithic LPS-SiC was evaluated in terms of sintering density, micro-structure, flexural strength, elastic modulus and so on. Sintered density, flexural strength and elastic modulus of fabricated LPS-SiC increased with increasing the sintering temperature. In the micro-structure of this specimen, it was found that grain of sintered body was grown from 30 nm to 200 nm.

$K_2CO_3$-based dry regenerable sorbents were prepared by spray-drying techniques to improve mass produced $K_2CO_3-Al_2O_3$ sorbents (KEP-CO2P, hereafter), and then tested for their $CO_2$ sorption capacity by a $2,000Nm^3/h$ (0.5 MWe) $CO_2$ capture pilot plant built for Unit 3 of the Hadong thermal power station in 2010. Each of the sample sorbents contained 35 wt.% $K_2CO_3$ as the active materials with various support materials such as $TiO_2$, MgO, Zeolite 13X, $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$ and hydrotalcite (HTC). Their physical properties and reactivity were tested to evaluate their applicability to a fluidized-bed or fast transport-bed $CO_2$ capture process. The $CO_2$ sorption capacity and percentage utilization of $K_2CO_3$-MgO based sorbent, Sorb-KM2, was $8.6g-CO_2/100g$-sorbents and 90%, respectively, along with good mechanical strength for fluidized-bed application. Sorbs-KM2 and KT were almost completely regenerated at $140^{\circ}C$. No degradation of Sorb-KM by $SO_2$ added as a pollutant in flue gas was observed during a cycle test.

알루미늄 6061-T6는 $Mg_2Si$와 ${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$로 구성되며, 피로 손상도가 증가하면 ${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$주변에서 기공이 발생하고 성장하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 우선 알루미늄 6061-T6 시편에 대한 SEM 촬영을 통해 이러한 현상을 확인하였다. 이후, 피로 손상도에 따라 이 시편의 전위댐핑 (dislocation damping), 정합변형률 (coherency strain), 및 기공 (void)이 감쇠계수와 비선형인자에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 그 결과 비선형인자는 피로 손상도가 증가에 따라 증가하다가 피로수명 75% 이후에서는 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 전위댐핑과 정합변형률이 증가할수록 비선형인자는 증가하지만, 기공이 증가하면 초음파의 산란이 커져 비선형인자가 감소하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 따라서, 피로에 따라 조직변화가 복잡하게 나타나는 재료의 열화 평가에 있어서는 비선형인자를 주의하여 활용하여야 한다는 결론을 얻었다.

Urchin-structured zinc oxide(ZnO) nanorod(NR) gas sensors were successfully demonstrated on a polyimide(PI) substrate, using single wall carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs) as the electrode. The ZnO NRs were grown with ZnO shells arranged at regular intervals to form a network structure with maximized surface area. The high surface area and numerous junctions of the NR network structure was the key to excellent gas sensing performance. Moreover, the SWCNTs formed a junction barrier with the ZnO which further improved sensor characteristics. The fabricated urchin-structured ZnO NR gas sensors exhibited superior performance upon $NO_2$ exposure with a stable response of 110, fast rise and decay times of 38 and 24 sec, respectively. Comparative analyses revealed that the high performance of the sensors was due to a combination of high surface area, numerous active junction points, and the use of the SWCNTs electrode. Furthermore, the urchin-structured ZnO NR gas sensors showed sustainable mechanical stability. Although degradation of the devices progressed during repeated flexibility tests, the sensors were still operational even after 10000 cycles of a bending test with a radius of curvature of 5 mm.

With a highly functional methyl vinyl silicone rubber (VMQ) matrix and filler materials of $B_4C$, PbO, and benzophenone (BP) and through powder surface modification, silicone rubber mixing, and vulcanized molding, a flexible radiation shielding and resistant composite was prepared in the study. The dispersion property of the powder in the matrix filler was improved by powder surface modification. BP was added into the matrix to enhance the radiation resistance performance of the composites. After irradiation, the tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength of the composites decreased, while the Shore hardness of the composites and the crosslinking density of the VMQ matrix increased. Moreover, the composites with BP showed better mechanical properties and smaller crosslinking density than those without BP after irradiation. The initial degradation temperatures of the composites containing BP before and after irradiation were $323.6^{\circ}C$ and $335.3^{\circ}C$, respectively. The transmission of neutrons for a 2-mm thick sample was only 0.12 for an Am-Be neutron source. The transmission of ${\gamma}$-rays with energies of 0.662, 1.173, and 1.332 MeV for 2-cm thick samples were 0.7, 0.782, and 0.795, respectively.

Few studies of large blooms over 700 mm thick among those used for the forging of raw materials have been reported. The cooling rate difference between the surface and the center of a large bloom is large, and the degradation of the mechanical properties is likely in cases involving excessively coarse precipitates resulted from the slow cooling rate of a large bloom after casting. Therefore, a schematic investigation of the growth behaviors of precipitates while varying their locations in blooms is necessary. The dissolution behaviors of precipitates were investigated by simulating a reheating process during which the bloom is heated to a high temperature. The segregation behavior of the as-cast large bloom was also investigated. Reheating specimens were obtained after an isothermal heat treatment at $1150^{\circ}C$ with various holding times to simulate the reheating process, with the samples undergoing a subsequent water quenching step. The precipitates were extracted using an electrolytic extractor and a particle size analysis was conducted with the aid of SEM, EDS, and TEM. In the present work, Al oxide, MnS and Nb carbide were mainly observed.

In this paper, the influence of axial compression ratio on the mechanical properties of new type joints of side span of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular column-H-type steel beam is studied. Two new types of side-span joints of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular column-H-type steel beam are designed and quasi-static tests of five new type joints with 1:2 scale reduction ratios are performed. The axial compression ratio of joint JD1 is 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, and the axial compression ratio of joint JD2 is 0.3 and 0.5. In the joint test, different axial forces were applied to the top of the column according to different axial compression ratios, and low-cyclic reciprocating load was applied on the beam. The stress and strain distribution, beam and column deformation, limit state, failure process, failure mechanism, stiffness degradation, ductile deformation and energy dissipation capacity of the joint were measured and analyzed. The results show that: with the increase of axial compression ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint decreases slightly, the plastic deformation decreases, and the stiffness and ductility decrease. According to the energy dissipation curve of the specimen, the equivalent damping coefficient also increases with the increase of axial compression ratio in a certain range, indicating that the increase of axial compression ratio can improve the seismic performance of the joint to a certain extent. The finite element method is used to simulate the joint test, and the test results are in good agreement with the simulation results.

전기자동차 및 E-모빌리티 시장이 급속히 성장함에 따라 리튬이온전지는 현재 가장 주목받는 기술 중 하나로 여겨지고 있다. 따라서 높은 용량 및 출력, 급속 충전 성능을 가지는 고에너지밀도 전극 개발이 매우 중요한 상황이다. 고에너지밀도 전극 구현을 위해서 음극의 경우 실리콘, 주석 등 고용량 활물질 소재에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있는 상황이다. 하지만 이러한 고용량 활물질 소재는 전지의 충방전 과정 시 발생하는 부피팽창이 전지의 성능을 저하시키는 주된 원인이 된다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 활물질의 부피팽창을 완화할 수 있는 바인더 소재 개발이 매우 중요한 상황이며, 기존 PVDF, CMC/SBR계 바인더 뿐만 아니라 수용성 고분자(polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, aliginate 등)를 이용한 바인더 소재 개발 연구가 많이 보고되고 있다. 이처럼 앞으로 리튬이온전지의 고성능화를 위해서 바인더는 매우 중요한 기술이 되었으며, 본 논문에서는 리튬이온전지용 음극 바인더 소재의 연구 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of photo-crosslinked gelatin methacryloyl (GelMa) hydrogel containing calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CNp) when applying different fabrication methods for bone regeneration. Methods: Four circular defects were created in the calvaria of 10 rabbits. Each defect was randomly allocated to the following study groups: 1) the sham control group, 2) the GelMa group (defect filled with crosslinked GelMa hydrogel), 3) the CNp-GelMa group (GelMa hydrogel crosslinked with nanoparticles), and 4) the CNp+GelMa group (crosslinked GelMa loaded with nanoparticles). At 2, 4, and 8 weeks, samples were harvested, and histological and micro-computed tomography analyses were performed. Results: Histomorphometric analysis showed that the CNp-GelMa and CNp+GelMa groups at 2 weeks had significantly greater total augmented areas than the control group (P<0.05). The greatest new bone area was observed in the CNp-GelMa group, but without statistical significance (P>0.05). Crosslinked GelMa hydrogel with nanoparticles exhibited good biocompatibility with a minimal inflammatory reaction. Conclusions: There was no difference in the efficacy of bone regeneration according to the synthesized method of photo-crosslinked GelMa hydrogel with nanoparticles. However, these materials could remain within a bone defect up to 2 weeks and showed good biocompatibility with little inflammatory response. Further improvement in mechanical properties and resistance to enzymatic degradation would be needed for the clinical application.

야잠사, Antheraea pernyi와 Antheraea yamamai의 구조특성을 살폅기 위하여 x-ray 회절 분석, IR 분광법, 편광현미경 관찰, 아미노산 분석을 행하였으며 섬유밀도, 열적 성질 및 동점탄성 성질을 살펴보았다. 그들의 구조 및 물리적 성질에 대한 결과를 가잠사(Bombyx mori)의 특성과 비교하여 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 작잠견사와 천잠견사의 아미노산 조성에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 천잠견사의 경우 반응성이 높은 극성아미노산이 다소 많은 것으로 나타났으며 가잠견사의 경우 glycine, 야잠사는 alanine 함량이 가장 많으므로 이들의 견사의 결정구조 특성에 관여되었다고 할 수 있다. 2. 섬유밀도 측정결과 천잠사(1.265~1.301g/㎤), 작잠사(1.308~1.311g/㎤), 가잠사(1.355~1.356g/㎤) 순으로 나타났으며 계산된 결정화도 값도 천잠사(51%), 작잠사(52%), 가잠사(64%) 순으로 나타났다. 3. 작잠사와 천잠사의 x-ray 회절곡선은 차이점이 없이 2$\theta$기호 16.7。와 20.5。에서 (002)면과 (201)면의 특징적인 double peak이 관찰되었으며 가잠사의 경우 2$\theta$기호 20.5。 부근에서 강한 회절 peak이 나타나 결정 구조가 서로 다른 것으로 나타났다. 4. IR spectrum 관찰결과 작잠사와 천잠사는 공히 alanine-alanine sequence에 관계되는 흡수 peak이 나타나며 가잠사는 glycine-alanine sequence에 관련된 group의 흡수 peak이 나타났다. IR 결정화도는 밀도측정에 의한 결과와 동일하게 천잠사(53.9%), 작잠사(54.3%), 가잠사(70.4%) 순으로 계산되었다. 5. 복굴절률은 가잠사의 경우 0.0556에 비하여 야잠사는 0.0216으로 낮은 값을 나타내며 광학배향도값도 가잠사가 2배 정도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 편광현미경에 의한 표면특성은 야잠사의 경우 섬유축방향으로 microfibril들이 줄무늬 모양으로 뚜렷하게 관찰되었다. 6. DSC 및 TGA 분석에 의하여 열분해특성을 살펴본 결과 열분해온도는 가잠사, 작잠사, 천잠사 순으로 350。 부근에서 나타났으며 각각의 구조특성에 따라 열분해가 진행되는 단계가 달리 나타나는 것으로 관찰되어 열안정성의 차이를 보여주었다. 7. Dynamic storage modulus와 loss modulus를 측정하여 얻은 유리전이온도는 가잠사 22$0^{\circ}C$, 천잠사, 24$0^{\circ}C$ 및 작잠사 255$^{\circ}C$의 값을 나타냈으며 이것은 비결정영역의 전이형상이 각 견사의 구조특성에 따라 다른 거동을 하고 있음을 의미한다.
