In this study, the effect of particle size on the cracks propagation and coalescence or cracking pattern of the edge notched disc specimens are investigated. Firstly, calibration of PFC3D was performed using Brazilian experimental test output. Then micro parameters were used to build edge notched disc specimen. The horizontal wall of the assembly is let to move downward with a standard low speed of 0.016 m/s. The numerical results show that the tensile cracks are dominant failure pattern for the modeled discs. These tensile cracks initiate from the pre-existing notch tip and propagate parallel to the loading direction then interact with the upper boundary of the modeled specimen. As the size of the balls (ball diameter) decrease the number of tensile cracks increase. The tensile fracture toughness of the samples also decreases as the particle size increases. Understanding the crack propagation and crack coalescence phenomena in brittle materials such as concretes and rocks is of paramount importance in the stability analyses for engineering structures such as rock slopes, underground structures and tunneling.

This study was carried out to discuss the feasibility of wood and plastic wastes as the raw materials for wood particle-plastic composites. For this purpose, composites were manufactured from coarse and fine wood particles and polypropylene fibers by nonwoven web process. And the effect of wood particle size on the performance of the composites were analyzed according to ASTM D 1037-93. In the physical properties of composites, water absorption decreased with the increase of target density and polypropylene fiber content. And the composites with fine wood particles appeared to have slightly lower water absorption than those with coarse wood particles. Thickness swelling did not vary significantly with the increase of target density but increased with the increase of wood particle content. And the composites with fine wood particles were significantly lower in thickness swelling than those with coarse wood particles. In the mechanical properties of composites, dry and wet MOR showed the increasing tendency with the increase of polypropylene fiber content and target density. Dry and wet MOE showed the increasing tendency with the increase of target density but only wet MOE exhibited the increasing tendency with the increase of polypropylene fiber content. Composites with fine wood particles appeared to be generally higher in wet MOR and MOE than those with coarse wood particles. In conclusion, composites with fine wood particles showed generally higher performance than those with coarse ones. Also, composites were significantly superior to control particleboards in the performance, especially in water absorption and thickness swelling.

콜로이달 실리카는 실리콘과 사파이어 웨이퍼의 정밀연마슬러리, 유-무기 하이브리드 코팅제, 정밀주조의 바인더 등 다양한 제품으로 사용되는 물질이다. 이러한 실리카 졸의 입자크기 및 분산 안정성은 웨이퍼의 표면, 코팅 막 혹은 벌크의 기계적, 화학적, 광학적 특성에 영향을 주기 때문에 정확한 측정값이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 제조사에서 제시한 입자 크기 및 표면 특성이 다른 8종류 실리카 졸의 부피 분율에 따라 입자 크기, 졸 점도 및 입자 전기영동이동도의 측정결과에 미치는 영향을 논의하였다. 높은 표면활성을 지닌 실리카 입자의 특성 및 실리카 졸의 희석에 의한 안정화 이온 농도의 변화로 인해 실리카의 측정 입자 크기와 이동도는 졸의 부피 분율 혹은 입자 크기에 따라 변한다. 60 nm 보다 작은 입자는 부피 분율이 증가함에 따라 측정된 입자 크기가 증가한 반면에, 그 보다 큰 입자에서는 측정된 입자 크기가 감소하였다. 12 nm와 같이 작은 입자는 부피 분율이 증가함에 따라 점도가 상승하면서 측정 입자의 이동도가 감소한 반면에 100 nm의 큰 입자는 0.048의 낮은 부피 분율까지 이동도가 증가하다가 그보다 높은 부피 분율부터 감소하였다.

Recently matured silkworm powder was developed by RDA. In this study, the effect of pulverizing method on the particle size of matured silkworm powder was examined. FESEM was performed to observe the morphology and to measure the particle size of silkworm powder. Particle morphology of air-jet mill pulverized powder was round and smooth, however, those of roller-mill and hammer-mill pulverized mature silkworm was more harsh and square. Particle size was varied with pulverizing technique as follows; $1.1{\mu}m$ (air-jet mill), $10{\mu}m$ (roller mill), and $120{\mu}m$ (hammer mill), respectively. A proximate analysis results of air-jet mill powder showed that crude protein, crude lipid, crude fiber, and ash was 73%, 12%, 1.95%, and 3.4%, respectively. According to our results, air-jet mell technique might be used to make a tiny matured silkworm powder.

자기연마가공은 연마입자와 자성입자를 혼합한 공구의 유연성을 이용하여, 공작물 표면을 폴리싱하는 특수가공법이다. 기존 연구의 대부분은 가공 정밀도를 향상시키기 위해서 연마입자의 크기를 달리 하는 것에 관한 내용들이다. 그러나 자기연마 가공에서는 연마입자의 크기뿐만 아니라, 자성입자의 크기도 가공에 많은 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되며 이에 대한 연구가 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 크기가 다른 자성입자들을 사용하여 자기연마가공의 효과를 평가하였다. 자성입자는 철분말을 사용하였으며, 직경이 평균 8, 78, $250{\mu}m$의 크기이다. 공작물의 표면거칠기 향상 정도를 비교하여 자성입자의 크기가 자기연마가공의 정밀도에 미치는 효과를 평가하였다. 자성입자의 크기는 표면거칠기의 향상에 많은 영향을 미치며, 직경이 $78{\mu}m$일 때 가장 좋은 표면거칠기의 향상을 나타내었다.

The effect of sintering temperature on the electrochemical property of $LiMn_2O_4$ was investigated. Results showed that the particle size was increased at higher sintering temperatures while the initial capacity was decreased after high temperature sintering. Capacity fading, on the other hand, was suppressed at lower sintering temperatures since the sintering at higher temperatures (${\geq}800^{\circ}C$) increased the Mn ions with a lower oxidation state ($Mn^{+3}$), which induced structural instability during cycling due to dissolution of Mn ions into the electrolyte. In particular, $LiMn_2O_4$ sintered above $830^{\circ}C$ showed severe capacity fading (capacity loss was 38% of initial capacity) by lower coulombic efficiency due to the abnormally increased particle size.

We report the effect of wet ball milling conditions on the transparency of glass frit. Generally, the particle size of glass frit decreased as the milling time increased. And the transparency of glass frit changed with the particle size variation. The transparency of glass frit A increased as the milling time increased. But, the transparency of glass frit B, containing high $B_2O_3$ decreased as the particle size decreased. It seems to be the result of chemical reaction with water and glass frit.

Monodispersed and nano-sized Ni powders were synthesized from aqueous nickel sulfate hexahydrate $(NiSO_4{\cdot}6H_2O)$ inside nonionic polymer network by using wet chemical reduction process. The sucrose was used as a nonionic polymer network source. The effect of reaction conditions such as the amount of sucrose and a various reaction temperature, nickel sulfate hexahydrate molarity. The influence of a nonionic polymer network on the particle size of the prepared Ni powders was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and particle size analysis (PSA). The results showed that the obtained Ni powders were strong by dependent of the reaction conditions. In particular, the Ni powders prepared inside a nonionic polymer network had smooth spherical shape and narrow particle size distribution.

Nano-Particles are influenced on the environmental protection and human health. The relationships between transient vehicle operation and nano-particle emissions are not well-known, especially for diesel passenger vehicles with DPF. In this study, a diesel passenger vehicle was measured on condition of DPF regeneration and no regeneration on a chassis dynamometer test bench. The particulate matter (PM) emission from this vehicle was measured by its number, size and mass measurement. The mass of the total PM was evaluated with the standard gravimetric measurement method while the total number and size concentrations were measured on a NEDC driving cycle using Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) and EEPS. Total number concentration by CPC was $1.5{\times}10^{1l}N/km$, which was 20% of result by EEPS. This means about 80% of total particle emission is consist of volatile and small-sized particles(<22nm). During regeneration, particle emission was $6.2{\times}10^{12}N/km$, was emitted 400 times compared with the emission before regeneration. As for the particle size of $22{\sim}100nm$ was emitted mainly, showing peak value of near 40nm in size. This means regeneration decreased the mean size of particles. Regarding regeneration, PM showed no change while the particle number showed about 6 times difference between before and after regeneration. It seems that the regeneration influences on particle number emissions are related to DPF-fill state and filtration efficiency.

With the increasing importance of environmental issues, the cementitious materials with self-cleaning or photocatalytic properties by introducing TiO₂ materials have been gaining a lot of attention. In this work, the influence of TiO₂ particle size and structure on its photocatalytic effect in cement paste was investigated. The degradation of methylene blue solution was used as the parameter for evaluating the photocatalytic effect of micro-TiO2 (m-TiO₂), nano-TiO2 (n-TiO₂), and TiO₂ nanotube (TNT). Moreover, the effect of these three TiO₂ materials on the cement hydration products was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermgravimetric analysis (TG). According to the results, it can be found that all of the TiO₂ materials promoted the formation of hydration products, especially TNT. On the other hand, the m-TiO₂ exhibited a better photocatalytic effect compared to other materials.
