Much attention has been paid to thermally conductive materials for efficient heat dissipation of electronic devices to maintain their functionality and to support lifetime span. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), which has a high thermal conductivity, is one of the most suitable materials for thermally conductive composites. In this study, we synthesize h-BN nanocrystals by pyrolysis of cost-effective precursors, boric acid, and melamine. Through pyrolysis at $900^{\circ}C$ and subsequent annealing at $1500^{\circ}C$, h-BN nanoparticles with diameters of ~80 nm are synthesized. We demonstrate that the addition of small amounts of Eu-containing salts during the preparation of melamine borate precursors significantly enhanced the crystallinity of h-BN. In particular, addition of Eu assists the growth of h-BN nanoplatelets with diameters up to ~200 nm. Polymer composites containing both spherical $Al_2O_3$ (70 vol%) and Eu-doped h-BN nanoparticles (4 vol%) show an enhanced thermal conductivity (${\lambda}{\sim}1.72W/mK$), which is larger than the thermal conductivity of polymer composites containing spherical $Al_2O_3$ (70 vol%) as the sole fillers (${\lambda}{\sim}1.48W/mK$).

The cpapcitors with MIM(metal-insulator-metal) structures using PVP gate insulation films were prepared for the application of flexible organic thin film transistors (OTFT). The co-polymer organic insulation films were synthesized by using PVP(poly-4-vinylphenol) as a solute and PGMEA(propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate) as a solvent. The cross-linked PVP insulation films were also prepared by addition of poly(melamine-co-formaldehyde) as thermal hardener. The leakage current of the cross- linked PVP films was found to be about 1.3 nA on Al/PES(polyethersulfone) substrate, whereas, on ITO/ glass substrate was about 27.5 nA indicating improvement of the leakage current at Al/PES substrates. Also, the capacitances of all prepared samples on ITO/glass and Al/PES substrates w ere ranged from 1.0 to $1.2nF/cm^2$, showing very similar result with the calculated capacitance values.

In this study, the pre-treatment of lyocell fabrics was performed using phosphoric acid (PA) as a phosphorus flame retardant and melamine resin (MR) as a cross-linking agent to fabricate carbon fabrics using lyocell fibers. The physical and chemical changes were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and weight analysis. We confirmed that the weight yield of the carbon fabrics compared to the untreated fabrics increased by 14.7%, and width and length yield of the fabrics increased by 15% and 15.5%, respectively. This may be due to the effect of promoting the dehydration reaction of cellulose, forming char on the fiber surface, which induces a crosslinking reaction in the cellulose molecule and stabilizes the structure upon pyrolysis.

Concrete is a material generally used to build structures and it is exposed to various environment conditions. In particular, a medium such as water lets noxious factors flow into concrete, causing a lot of damage. Therefore, different kinds of materials are being developed to increase the durability of concrete. Among such materials, silane and siloxane compound are known to have a high utilization as an absorption inhibitor. However, if aged or deteriorated reinforced concrete is treated with those compounds, they easily come off the concrete and lose their function since the basic material is weak. This study conducted an experiment to provide concrete with both an absorption-inhibiting effect and surface strengthening by using melamine-formaldehyde resins that are surface-treated with siloxane compound. In addition, a study on the porosity and surface hardness characteristics of a concrete was conducted to check the absorption-inhibiting effect and surface strengthening.

With the development of modern microelectronics technologies, the power density of electronic devices is rapidly increasing, due to the miniaturization or integration of device elements which operate at high frequency, high power conditions. Resulting thermal problems are known to cause power leakage, device failure and deteriorated performance. To relieve heat accumulation at the interface between chips and heat sinks, thermal interface materials (TIMs) must provide efficient heat transport in the through-plane direction. We report on the enhanced thermal conduction of $Al_2O_3-based$ polymer composites, fabricated by the surface wetting and texturing of thermally conductive hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) nanoplatelets with large anisotropy in morphology and physical properties. The thermally conductive polymer composites were prepared with hybrid fillers of $Al_2O_3$ macro beads and surface modified h-BN nanoplatelets. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has high thermal conductivity and is one of the most suitable materials for thermally conductive polymer composites, which protect electronic devices by efficient heat dissipation. In this study, we synthesized hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles by the pyrolysis of cost effective precursors, boric acid and melamine. Through pyrolysis at $900^{\circ}C$ and subsequent annealing at $1500^{\circ}C$, hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles with diameters of ca. 50nm were synthesized. We demonstrate that the addition of a small amount of calcium fluoride ($CaF_2$) during the preparation of the melamine borate adduct significantly enhanced the crystallinity of the h-BN and assisted the growth of nanoplatelets up to 100nm in diameters. The addition of a small amount of h-BN enhanced the thermal conductivity of the $Al_2O_3-based$ polymer composites, from 1.45W/mK to 2.33 W/mK.

The foreign trends of noncompliance occurring frequently in food contact materials during the period of 2011-2019 was investigated by analyzing the food safety risk information DB in the National Food Safety Information Service (NFSI). A total of 2,042 cases of noncompliance of food utensils, containers, and packages were classified into 5 violation categories; administrative procedures, manufacturing and processing standards, residues and migration standards, labeling and advertising, and quality standards. This was again subcategorized according to non-compliance causative factors. The non-compliances in residues and migration standards comprised the largest proportion (76.4%) of the violative categories. The number of noncompliance information collected in 2011 was 88 cases and increased to 373 cases in 2019. A 72.8% of the non-compliance case was identified to be products of 4 countries (China 64.2%, Germany 4.0%, Japan 3.2%, and Taiwan 3.1%), those produce large quantities of containers and packaging products. During the period of 2011-2019, the number of illegal use of hazardous materials and illegal recycling of waste synthetic resins has decreased to less than one a year since 2014. On the other hand, after 2016, inconsistency of heat-resisting temperature labeling (Taiwan), non-compliance in paper container's strength standards, violation of printing standards, and the risk of consumer injury while using the products were newly reported due to the strengthening of consumer safety protection regulations. Migration of hazardous substances in synthetic polymer products such as heavy metals, melamine and formaldehyde in melamine tableware, primary aromatic amines which are colorant components in kitchenware such as ladles and spatulas, and phthalate plasticizers have been continuously reported with high frequency.

In this study, we prepared the functionalized Shampoo with three-type functionalized microcaples which were synthesized by microcapsulation, respectively. In detail, the functionalized microcapsule was included such as (1) the functionalized microcapsule with core-menthol and shell-melamine resin and (2) the functionalized microcapsule with core-menthol and shell-lecithin, and (3) the functionalized microcapsule with core-cinnamon oil and shell-lecithin, respectively. The size and morphology of the prepared microcapsules was evaluated via Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). From these results, the prepared microcapsules with size of 0.1~0.2 ㎛ and spherical morphology was confirmed. Furthermore, we applied the prepared Shampoo to treat hair. As results we confirmed that the scalp temperature was decreased about 3~4 ℃ compared to no treatment. This result may be considered that the core compounds are vaporize when the functionalized Shampoo is treated on scalp. We will determine the change of scalp pore, diameter of hair, and etc during treatment of the functionalized Shampoo.

Hydroxyethyl cellulose -based-viscosity modifying admixture and melamine-basd-superplasticizer were selected to be admixtures for self-compacting concrete based on the test results of fluidity and air content of mortar using 3 different viscosity modifying admixtures. The experimental results show that the initial and final set of self-compacting concrete and fly ash concrete with viscosity modifying admixture only have been delayed approximately 5 hours and 8~9 hours, respectively. It is found that the optimum dosage of viscosity modifying admixtures, coarse aggregate and cement content are 0.2% of water content, under 742 kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ and over 364 kg/$\textrm{m}^3$, respectively. Test results also show that the optimum fly ash in replacement of cement is 10% of cement weight for the enhancement of fluidity and long-term strength.

In this paper, we have fabricated pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) using polyvinylphenol (PVP) copolymer and cross-linked PVP as gate insulator on glass and plastic (PET) substrate. Depending on the density of PVP and cross-link material the performance has been changed. We obtained the best device performance with the mobility of 0.32cm2/V${\cdot}$sec and the on/off current ratio of 1.19${\times}$106 for the case of 10wt% PVP copolymer mixed with 5wt% poly (melamine-co-formaldehyde). Additionally using pentacene TFTs with the above PVP gate insulator, we fabricated the integrated circuits including inverter which produced the gain of 9.7.
