The toughening mechanism and fracture behavior of rubber/polymer composites were investigated with respect to two factors; (1) the composition ratio of polymers(PPO and PS which have a different chain flexibility) and (ii) the rubber particle size in PPO/PS blend system Izod impact test and fractographic observation of the fracture surface using scanning electron microscope were conducted, Finite element analysis were carried out to gain understanding of plastic deformation(shear yielding and crazing) of these materials.

Test-bricks were prepared from an artifically graded Ham Kang sand and a commercial CaO and autoclaved for 6 hours at $16 kg/cm^2$ pressure $(203^{\circ}C)$. Bricks were tested for compressive strength, free lime, saluble silica and amount of water absorption. Physical properties of bricks were very much depended on the size distribution of sand particle and the amount of soluble silica in bricks.

The SiCp/AC8A composites were fabricated by the pressureless metal infiltration process successfully. The effect of additional Mg, which were mixed with SiC particles to promote interfacial wetting between the reinforcement and matrix alloy, and particle size on the mechanical properties was investigated. By increasing the additional Mg content the hardness of SiCp/AC8A composites was increased due to the hard reaction products, but the bending strength was decreased by the excess reaction of Mg and high porosity level when the additional Mg content is over 7%. The Hardness and bending strength was increased by decreasing the size of SiC particle.

Wear behaviour of B.390 aluminum alloy with different particle sizes of primary Si against a SM45C counterface was studied as a function of wear load and sliding velocity, using pin-on-disk apparatus under dry condition. The wear rate of specimen with fine primary Si particles showed increased wear resistance at high wear load, on the other side wear resistance of coarse primary Si particle size was improved at low wear load. As the compressive residual stress in the matrix increased remarkably by liquid nitrogen(LN) treatment, wear resistance of the LN treated specimen was more excellent than that of T6 treated specimen.

Adsorption isotherms and kinetics for taste and odor (T&O) compounds and natural organic matters (NOMs) were performed to evaluate the impacts of activated carbon particle size on coagulation and adsorption. Adsorption capacities for iodine, T&O compounds, and NOM of all the activated carbons under #325 mesh were more excellent than those of virgin activated carbons. Small activated carbon particles were more rapidly adsorbed low molecular weight T&O compounds in the water, while those were slowly adsorbed high molecular weight NOM. When the activated carbon and alum were added simultaneously, the adsorption capacity for organics was better than alum was added alone.

The characteristics of soot vaporization induced by a high-energy Pulsed laser were studied in an ethylene-air laminar flame. A system consisting of two pulsed lasers was used for the experiments. The pulse from the first laser was used to vaporize the soot particles, and the delayed pulse from the second laser was used to measure the residual soot volume fraction. Laser-induced soot vaporization was characterized according to the initial particle size distribution. The results indicated that soot particles could not be completely vaporized simply by introducing a high intensity laser pulse. Residual soot volume fractions present after vaporization appeared to be insensitive to the initial soot particle size distribution. Since the soot vaporization effect is more pronounced in the region of high soot concentrations, this laser-induced soot vaporization technique may be a very useful tool for measuring major species in highly sooting flame.

Microcapsules were prepared by complex coacervation between gelatin and gum arabic. The object of this work is evaluation of the effect of jelly strength, hardening agent on the particle size distribution, surface morphology and DSC. It was found that the 300bloom jelly strength caused microcapsules' size larger. When the amount of hardening agent increased, the particle mean diameter was larger. The amount of hardening agent was determined to be 10m1 for getting suitable size to finish the fabric.

In this study, a hydrogenated lecithin-containing liposome was prepared using a sonicator and microfluidizer at high shear. The surface tension, particle size, turbidity, and transition temperature ($T_c$) of the liposome were investigated and compared with the commercially available standard surfactant Tween-60. The cytotoxicities were characterized using the MTT method. The surface tension of hydrogenated lecithin was found to be higher than that of Tween-60. The particle size prepared at above $T_c$ was smaller than that prepared below $T_c$. The results of the cytotoxicity experiment indicated that Lecinol 10 exhibits the highest I$C_{50}$ value, which shows its high safety in this study.

Metal hydride used as hydrogen storage material usually needs the activating process to store the hydrogen at high temperature or high pressure. In general as the particle size of metal hydride becomes smaller, approached to the micro, furthermore, nano scale, storage ability and reaction kinetics are reported to be increased, because the specific surface is extremely increased. But the experimental results demonstrated that the optimum particle size is existed for the best absorbing performance, opposite to the usual expectation. This results from the particles to be come amorphous with their approaching to micro and nano scale, in the storage site within the metal hydride lattice is decreased, which is proved by XRD and SEM.

The dissolved air flotation (DAF) process has been widely used for removing suspended solids with low density in water. It has been known as measuring the size of microbubbles precisely which move upward rapidly in contact zone is difficult. In this study particle counter monitoring (PCM) method is used to measure the rising microbubble after injection from a nozzle. Size and distribution curve of microbubbles are evaluated at different conditions such as pressure drop at intermediate valve, length of pipeline between saturation tank and nozzle and low pressure. And the efficiency is also checked when it collides with different size floc. The experimental results show the following fact. As the final pressure drop occurred closer to a nozzle, the bubble size became smaller. And small bubble collides with large floc as well as small one because of its physical characteristic. However large bubble collides well with large floc rather than small one since hydrodynamic flow in streamline interferes to collide between two. With performing computational process by mathematical model we have analyzed and verified the size effect between bubble and floc. Collision efficiency is the highest when P/B ratio shows in the range of 0.75 < P/B ratio ($R_{particle/Rbubble}$) < 2.0.
