We investigated configuration of metallic and insulating domains in $VO_2$ thin films, while spanning metal-insulator phase transition. Kelvin probe force microscopy, of which spatial resolution is less than 100 nm, enables us to measure local work function (WF) at the sample surface. The WF of $VO_2$ thin films decreased (increased) as increasing (decreasing) the sample temperature, during the phase transition. The higher and lower WF regions corresponded to the insulating and metallic domains, respectively. The metallic fraction, estimated from the WF maps, well explained the temperature-dependent resistivity based on the percolation model. The WF mapping also showed us how the structural defects affected the phase transition behaviors.

The heterocoagulation of latex is a simple and useful method to fabricate various polymer nanocomposites in which a precise control of the colloid stability is essential. In this work, a multi-layered graphenes (MLGs)/poly(styrene-co-butyl acrylate) (P(S-co-BA)) nanocomposite having an excellent dispersion of MLGs was prepared via the sudden heating heterocoagulation process. The P(S-co-BA) component was obtained by emulsion polymerization. This process can effectively shorten the process and particles growth steps. The colloid stability of these dispersions was controlled by factors such as ionic charge, temperature, and reaction times. The influence of these factors on heterocoagulation was evaluated and the properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. The conductivity of the MLGs/P(S-co-BA) nanocomposites increased from -11.53 to -5.70 S/cm for an increase in MLG content from 0.01 to 5 wt%. Moreover, percolation threshold was observed in the case of 0.01 wt% MLGs.

This paper describes an extension of viscoelastic Group Interaction Modelling (GIM) to predict the relaxation response of linear, branched and cross-linked structures. This model is incorporated into a Monte Carlo percolation grid simulation used to generate the topological structure during the isothermal cure of a gel, so enabling the chemorheological response to be predicted at any point during the cure. The model results are compared to experimental data for an epoxy-amine systems and good agreement is observed. The viscoelastic model predicts the same exponent power-law behaviour of the loss and storage moduli as a function of frequency and predicts the cross-over in the loss tangent at the percolation condition for gelation. The model also predicts the peak in the loss tangent which occurs when the glass transition temperature surpasses the isothermal cure temperature and the system vitrifies.

It is unreasonable to calculate the amount of agricultural water use by applying unit demand method, because it is different from other water use due to the return flow and reuse in the recycle of watershed. Data from irrigation pumping station and reservoir were analysed. Factors for water balance are precipitation, evapotranspiration, percolation, runoff, and management loss, etc. Here in the study, the amount of agricultural water was defined in the way of three different categories. First one is "Gross water" including evapotranspiration, percolation, and management loss. Second one is "Agricultural water" including Gross water and effective rainfall. Third one is "Broad water" which is abstracting the return flow from Agricultural water.

집적회로기판의 소형화 추세에 따라 커패시터, 인덕터, 저항과 같은 수동소자를 PCB기판 내부에 임베딩하는 연구가 국내외에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 폴리머-금속-세라믹의 3상복합체 구조를 가지는 임베디드 커패시터의 온도변화에 따른 유전불성변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 매트릭스를 형성하는 고분자 재료로는 PMMA를 사용하였으며, 충분히 혼합된 분말을 PMMA의 유리 전이온도 보다 높은 온도에서 프레싱하여 시편을 제조하였다. 유전특성은 임피던스분석기 및 LCZ미터를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 실험결과는 혼합법칙과 Percolation 이론을 이용하여 해석하였다.

본 연구에서는 세종 구문 코퍼스를 의존 구문 코퍼스로 변환할 때 사용되는 중심어 전파(Head-Percolation) 규칙에 대하여 논의한다. 한국어는 중심어-후위 언어이기 때문에 의존 구문 트리를 구축할 때 지배소를 의존소 뒤에 배치시키는 것을 원칙으로 하였다. 그러나 의존 관계에 있는 단어 사이에 지배소를 앞쪽으로 설정하는 것이 더 자연스러운 경우가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지배소를 앞쪽으로 배치시키는 것을 허용하는 중심어 전파 규칙을 채택하여 의존 구문 코퍼스를 구축해 보고 중심어 전파 규칙이 구문 분석기의 성능에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴본다. 실험 결과 지배소를 앞쪽으로 설정하는 것을 허용한 경우, 0.43%의 성능 저하가 있었으나 학습 코퍼스의 일관성을 유지한다면 성능 저하의 차이를 좀 더 줄일 수 있을 것이다.

Carbon nanofiber (CNF)/unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) was prepared by a solvent evaporation method, and the temperature dependency of electrical conductivity was investigated. The CNF/UPR composites had quite a low percolation threshold due to CNF having a larger aspect ratio and being well dispersed in the UPR matrix. The positive temperature coefficient (PTC) was found in the CNF/UPR composites and it showed stronger effect around the percolation threshold. The electrical resistance of the CNF/UPR composites decreased and had lower temperature dependency with increasing numbers of thermal cycles.

AC and DC conductivity of the MWNT(Multi walled nanotubes)/polyurethane composites were investigated with respect to the various oxidative conditions, where these means acid concentration, treatment temperature, and treatment time. We suppose that the conditions of oxidation of the MWNTS have a certain influence on the degree of functionalization, damages, and dispersion of the MWNT themselves. Futhermore, the electrical properties of the resulting composites strongly depend on the oxidative conditions of MWNTS. The conductivity of the composites produced by using the optimal condition was measured as a function of frequency with volume content of MWNTS. These experimental results were analyzed using percolation theory Electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (SE) of the mixtures of polyurethane (PU), optimized MWNTs, and silver (Ag) is measured in the frequency range from 10 MHz to 6 ㎓ by using ASTM D4935-89. The measured SEs of the mixtures could be controlled from about 55 dB to 85 dB with the compositions of Ag/MWNT and compounding methods(C1, C2).

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polycarbonate (PC) nanocomposite was prepared by direct melt mixing to investigate the effect of the shear rate on the surface resistivity of the nanocomposites. In this study, an experiment was carried out to observe the shear induced orientation of the MWCNT in the polymer matrix using a very simple melt flow indexer with various loads. The compression-molded, should be eliminated. MWCNT/PC nanocomposite sample exhibited lower percolation thresholds (at 0.8 vol%) and higher electrical conductivity values than those of samples extruded by capillary and injection molding. Shear induced orientation of MWCNT was observed via scanning electron microscopy, in the direction of flow in a PC matrix during the extrusion process. The surface resistivity rose with increasing shear rate, because of the breakdown of the network junctions between MWCNTs. For real applications such as injection molding and the extrusion process, the amount of the MWCNT in the composite should be carefully selected to adjust the electrical conductivity.

Ni의 함량이 서로 다른 Ni-YSZ 복합체를 100$0^{\circ}C$ 환원 분위기 하에서 열처리하며 시간에 따른 미세구조의 변화를 관찰하였다. Quantitative microscopy 이론을 응용한 화상분석 결과 Ni-YSZ 복합체의 미세구조는 열처리시 나타나는 Ni상의 미세구조 변화에 가장 큰 영향을 받고 있었다. 특히 Ni의 양이 많은 조성에서는 Ni 상간의 접촉이 많아 고상반응에 의한 미세구조의 변화가 심하였는데 이로 인해 복합체 미세구조의 안정화가 느리게 진행되었다. Ni-YSZ 복합체의 전기 전도도 역시 Ni상의 미세구조 변화에 큰 영향을 받았는데 복합체 전체 미세구조의 경시변화와는 달리 Ni상의 많은 조성보다는 Ni상의 percolation이 일어나는 조성 부근에서 더 큰 영향을 받았다. 이로 인해 Ni-YSZ의 전기 전도도는 Ni의 percolation threshold 부근 조성에서 안정화되는데 더 많은 시간을 요하였다.
