Lead-based fast reactor (LFR) has become one of the most promising reactors for Generation IV nuclear systems. A developing trend of LFR is high efficiency, along with operation temperatures up to 800 ℃ or even higher. One of key issues in the high-efficiency LFR is corrosion of cladding materials with lead at high temperatures. In this study, corrosion behavior of some refractory metals (Nb, Nb521, and Mo-0.5La) was investigated in static lead at 1000 ℃ for 1000 h. The results showed that Nb and Nb521 exhibited an intense dissolution corrosion with obvious lead penetration after corrosion, and lead penetration extended along the grain boundaries of the specimens. Furthermore, Nb521 showed a better corrosion resistance than that of Nb as a result of the elements of W and Mo included in Nb521. Mo-0.5La showed much better corrosion resistance than that of Nb and Nb521, and no lead penetration could be observed. However, an etched morphology appeared on the surface of Mo-0.5La, indicating the occurrence of corrosion to a certain degree. The results indicate that Mo-0.5La is compatible with lead up to 1000 ℃. While Nb and Nb alloys might be not compatible with lead for high-efficiency LFR at such high temperatures.

해안매립지에 건설되는 구조물은 해수로부터 유입되는 염소 및 황산염 이온 등의 화학적 침식에 의한 영향을 복합적으로 받는다. 염해는 콘크리트 내부의 철근을 부식시켜 구조물의 성능을 저하시킨다. 또한, 하수처리시설에서는 내부에서 발생되는 황산염에 의해 콘크리트가 열화되는 문제점을 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해안매립지에 건설되는 하수처리구조물에 적용할 수 있는 혼합형 저발열시멘트의 특성 및 내화학성을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 모든 배합조건에서 목표슬럼프 및 공기량을 모두 만족하였다. 동일 배합조건에서 LHC사용시 OPC 보다 슬럼프는 증가되고, 공기량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 압축강도 시험결과, 초기재령에서는 OPC의 강도발현이 빨랐으며, 28일 이후 LHC가 OPC보다 높은 강도를 나타내었다. 염소이온침투저항성 평가결과, LHC-B의 경우 56일 재령에서, "매우낮음" 단계의 염소이온침투저항성을 나타내 LHC의 내염해성을 확인하였다. 내화학성 평가 결과, 에폭시 처리 하지 않은 경우 LHC를 적용한 경우, OPC보다 약 18%정도 내화학성이 개선되는 것으로 나타났으며, 콘크리트 표면에 에폭시 공법 적용시 강도보존율이 95% 이상 확보 가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

고 흡수성 폴리머(SAP)가 콘크리트에 혼입되면 슬럼프가 급격하게 감소하여 시공성이 저하되며, 수분 흡수·방출 과정으로 내부 양생 효과를 얻을 수 있고, 콘크리트의 내부 공극을 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 감수제를 사용하여 시공성을 확보한 SAP 혼입 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 동결융해 저항성, 염화물 침투 저항성을 평가하여 내부 양생과 공극의 영향을 평가하였다. 또한 콘크리트의 양생 조건을 수중 양생과 봉함 양생으로 구분하여 SAP의 내부 양생 효과를 평가하였다. 실험 결과, SAP 혼입율이 증가할수록 감수제 사용량은 증가하였으며, 압축강도는 SAP 혼입율 1.5%가 가장 큰 압축강도를 나타냈다. 특히, 봉함 양생의 경우 수중 양생보다 큰 압축강도를 나타냈으며, 유효 물-시멘트 비 감소와 내부 양생 효과에 의해 압축강도가 증가한 것으로 판단된다. SAP를 1.0~1.5% 혼입하면 AE제를 혼입한 경우와 유사하게 동결융해 저항성이 개선되었으며, SAP를 1.0% 이상 사용하면 염화물 침투 저항성이 개선되었다. 최적의 SAP 혼입율은 1.5%이며, 2.0% 이상의 혼입율은 압축강도 및 동결융해 저항성에 악영향을 준다.

Coatings composited with alumina and Perfluoro alkoxyalkane (PFA) resin were deposited on stainless steel plate (SUS304) to further improve corrosion resistance. Plate (ca. $10{\mu}m$) and/or nanosize (27~43 nm) alumina used as inorganic additives were mixed in PFA resin to make alumina-fluoro composite coatings. These coatings were deposited on SUS304 plate with wet spray coating and then the film was cured thermally. According to the amount and ratio of the two kinds of alumina having plate morphology and nano size, corrosion resistance of the film was evaluated under strong acids (HF, HCl) and a strong base (NaOH). The film prepared with the addition of 5~10 wt% alumina powders in PFA resin showed corrosion resistance superior to that of pure PFA resin film. However, for the film prepared with alumina content above 10 wt%, the corrosion resistance did not improve with the physical properties, such as surface hardness and adhesion. The film prepared with plate/nanosize (weight ratio = 1/2) alumina especially enhanced the surface hardness and corrosion resistance. This can be explained as showing that the plate and the nanosize alumina dispersed in PFA resin effectively suppressed the penetration of cations and anions due to the long penetration length and fewer defects that accompany the improved surface hardness under a serious environment of 10% HF solution for over 120 hrs.

In this paper, MOS devices with ultrathin gate dielectrics (5.5 nm) are characterized and compared with those with conventional oxides particularly for nanoscale CMOS applications. Nitrogen concentrations and profiles in the nitride gate dielectrics were obtained that will play an important role in improving both hot-carrier lifetime and resistance to boron penetration. This approach seems very useful for future nanoscale CMOS device applications.

CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) of the advanced composite materials as structural materials for vehicle, has a wide application in light-weigh structural materials of airplanes, ships and automobiles because of high strength and stiffness, However, there is a design variable to be considered in practical application of the laminate composite materials, these materials are vulnerable to transverse impact. This paper is to study the effects of stacking sequence and curvature on the penetration characteristics of composite laminate shell. They are stacked to $[0_3/90_3]S,\;[90_3/0_3]s\;and\;[0_2/90_3/0]s,\;[90_2/0_3/90]s$ and their interlaminar number two and four. They are manufactured to various curvature radius (R=100, 150, 200mm and $\infty$), When the specimen is subjected to transverse impact by a steel ball, the velocity of the steel ball was measured both before and after impact by determing the time for it to pass two ballistics-screen sensors located a known distance apart. The critical penetration energy of specimen A and B with less interfaces were a little higher than those of C and D. As the curvature increases, the critical penetration energy increases linearly because the resistance to the in-plane deformation as well as bending deformation increases, which need higher critical penetration energy. The specimen A and C have higher critical penetration energy than B and D because of different stacking sequences. We examined crack length through a penetration test. For the specimen A with 2interfaces, the longest circumferential direction crack length were observed on the first interface from the impact point. For the specimen B 4-interface, the longest circumferential direction crack length were observed on the second interface from the impact point.

In this study, a series of three-dimensional numerical analyses were carried out to investigate the penetration performance of a dynamically installed Hall anchor. The advanced coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) technique was adopted to accurately simulate the large soil deformation during the vertical penetration of a Hall anchor. In total, 52 numerical analyses were conducted to investigate the relationship between anchor penetration depth and the initial kinematic energy. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate the effects of soil shear strength and soil type on the penetration mechanism of a drop anchor under self-weight. There is a monotonic increase in the penetration depth with an increasing anchor weight when the topsoil of the riverbed is not subjected to erosion. On the other hand, all the computed depths significantly increase when soil erosion is taken into consideration. This is mainly due to an enhanced initial kinematic energy from an increased dropping depth. Both depths increase exponentially with the initial kinematic energy. An enhanced shear strength can potentially increase the side resistance and end-bearing pressure around a drop anchor, thus significantly reducing the downward penetration of a hall anchor. Design charts are developed to directly estimate penetration depth and associated plastic zone due to dynamically installed anchor at arbitrary soil shear strength and anchor kinematic energy.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of AFm formation on the stiffening process of cement paste. High and low alkali sulfate clinkers were used for the experiments. The flow and stiffening behavior of cement paste was investigated using modified ASTM C403 penetration resistance test and oscillatory shear rheology. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) was used for phase identification associated with stiffening of the paste. It was found from the results that low alkali clinker mixture produced very strong premature stiffening whereas high alkali clinker mixture did not cause premature stiffening. This is because of the large amount of alkali sulfate present in the clinker. Addition of calcium and sodium chloride to the high alkali clinker mixture caused faster stiffening and set.

The contact properties between gold and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films having either of two distinct molecular orientations and orderings were investigated. Thermal treatment increased the molecular ordering of P3HT and remarkably reduced the contact resistance at the electrode/semiconductor interface, which enhanced the electrical performance. This phenomenon was understood in terms of a small degree of metal penetration into the P3HT film as a result of the thermal treatment, which formed a sharp interface at the contact interface between the gold electrode and the organic semiconductor.
