The artificial aggregates (AAs) were manufactured from the parent batch powders consisting of bottom ash containing excess unburned carbon and dredged soil, 7 : 3 weight ratio by direct sintering method and those physical properties were evaluated. Especially, the effects of waste glass or frit (NWG) which was made by addition of 5 wt% $Na_2O$ to the waste glass upon the bloating phenomenon of AAs were analyzed. The AAs manufactured from the parent batch powders showed a lower specific gravity than that of specimens containing waste glass or NWG due to excess u$Na_2O$nburned carbon which usually obstructs a sintering process. But, the waste glass added on parent batch powders promoted the sintering and densification thus increased the specific gravity of AAs. Also the specific gravity of AAs added with 5 wt% NWG, was lowered compared to that of AAs added with as-received waste glass. This is because of bloating of shell which captures gases owing to the lowered viscosity of liquid formed at the specimen surface caused by $Na_2O$ addition. In conclusion, the AAs sintered at above $1100^{\circ}C$ in this study showed characters of lightweight aggregate of specific gravity 1.15~1.34 and water absorption 11~19 %, and the bloating phenomenon of AAs was occurred at the shell rather black core part.

The artificial aggregates (AAs) composing of 2 wastes, coal bottom ash and dredged soil (7 : 3, weight ratio) were fabricated as a function of red mud contents,0~30 wt% using direct sintering method at $1050{\sim}1250^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, and those physical properties were evaluated. Especially, in order to analyze the red mud addition effect on the bloating phenomenon of AAs manufactured, the specific gravity and water absorption were measured and studied linked with the microstructural observation results. The lightening of AAs was enhanced due to increased bloating with increasing temperature and red mud contents. The AAS sintered at $1050{\sim}1150^{\circ}C$ showed well-developed black-coring structure, but for the specimens containing red mud sintered over $1200^{\circ}C$ generated excessive liquid and gas caused by reduction of $Fe_2O_3$, thus the black-coring part was gradually burst open out of shell of AAs. Particularly, all specimens containing 30 wt% red mud was burst up when sintered over $1100^{\circ}C$. The AAs containing no red mud sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ had a specific gravity of about 1.2 and those containing 20 wt% had below 1.0 which are characters of lightweight aggregate.

Late Quaternary deposits of the core in the western area of the Nakdong River delta consist of four sedimentary units: Unit I, II, III and IV, in ascending order, controlled by the sea-level change since the last interglacial period. Unit I unconformable overlying Cretaceous basement rocks is composed of sandy gravel and sand deposited in a fluvial channel before the first marine transgression. Unit II composed of stiff massive mud is interpreted as a shallow marine deposits formed during the last interglacial period (probably MIS 5). The development of the fissures coated with oxidized materials in the upper part of Unit II is a feature of subaerial exposure, which indicates erosional contact with the upper Unit III. Unit III is made up of soft massive mud and soft shelly massive mud deposited in a tidal flat and a inner shelf, respectively, since the Holocene transgression (about 9,000 yr BP). Unit Ⅳ consisted of soft shell bedded mud and yellowish sandy mud was deposited in the delta environments during the regression (after about 5,000 yr BP). The lower shell bedded mud was deposited in a tidal flat and the upper sandy mud was deposited in the floodplain corresponding to present site of the Nakdong River delta.

Carbon-encapsulated Ni and metal Ni nanoparticles were synthesized by levitational gas condensation (LGC). Methane ($CH_4$) gas was used to coat the surface of the Ni nanoparticles. The Ni particles had a core diameter of 10 nm, and were covered by 2~3 nm thin carbon layers with multi-shells structure.The low magnetization comparing with the Ni nanoparticles without carbon-shell results in the coexistence of nonmagnetic carbon and a large surface spin percentage with disordered magnetization orientation for the nanoparticles. Biginelli reactions in the presence of L-proline and Ni and carbon encapsulated Ni nanoparticles were carried out to change the ratio between stereoisomers. The obtained S-enantiomers for 3,4-dihydropyrimidine (DHPM) using catalysts of Ni, and Ni@C was an excess of about ${\Delta}{\sim}7.4%$ and ${\Delta}{\sim}19.6%$, respectively. The nanopowders were fully recovered using magnet to reuse as a catalyst. The Ni@C was shown at same yield to formation of 3,4-DHPM, though it was recycled for catalyst in the reaction.

반도체 기반 양자점 (QD)소재와 CsPbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I)기반 perovskite 양자점 또는 나노결정 소재(PNC)는 매우 우수한 양자효율과 좁은 발광 선폭으로 고색재현성 디스플레이 색변환 소재 또는 발광 소재로서 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나, 기존 화학적 합성법을 통해 제조되는 QD 및 PNC 소재는 취약한 열 및 화학적 안정성으로 인해 장기 내구성의 개선이 요구된다. 이들 QD 및 PNC 소재는 모두 완전 무기 소재인 산화물 기반 유리 소재내에 생성이 가능하며, 이를 통해 장기 내구성을 근본적으로 개선할 수 있다. 반도체 기반 QD 함유 유리소재 (QDEG)의 경우, 유리 내 core/shell 구조를 가진 QD의 생성으로 양자효율의 향상이 가능했으나, 콜로이드 기반 양자점 (cQD)과 달리 다중 shell의 형성이 어려워 양자효율이 제한되고, 발광 선폭이 넓어 고색재현성 디스플레이용 색변환 소재로 적용되기에는 아직 한계가 있다. 한편, Perovskite 양자점 (또는 나노결정) 함유 유리소재 (PNEG) 소재는 QDEG과 달리 콜로이드 기반의 PNC (c-PNC)가 가지는 우수한 양자효율과 20 nm 수준의 좁은 선폭을 유리 내에서도 가지며, c-PNC 대비 열적, 화학적 및 광학적 안정성이 획기적으로 향상되어 실질적인 응용 가능성을 높이고 있다. 특히, 일반적인 용융-급랭법으로 제조하여 대량생산에 용이하고, 분말 또는 판상 등 다양한 형태로의 제작이 가능한 장점이 있다. 현재까지 제조된 PNEG의 최대 PL-QY는 450 nm 여기 시 녹색 및 적색에서 약 60% 수준이며, Al₂O₃ 분말을 이용할 경우 최대 80% 수준까지 달성이 가능하다. 또한, PNEG과 blue LED를 이용하여 백색 LED를 구현할 경우 color filter를 적용하지 않을 때, NTSC 대비 최대 약 130 % 수준의 높은 색재현 영역을 보여 주고 있으며, 실제 LCD용 BLU로 적용 시 기존 상용 c-QD 소재와 동등 이상의 색재현 영역을 보이고 있어, 실질적인 응용 가능성이 매우 높음을 확인하였다. PNEG의 상업적인 응용을 위해서는 몇 가지 추가적인 연구 개발이 필요하다. 기존 c-QD 또는 c-PNC는 나노 수준 크기의 입자가 액상에 분산된 형태로 입도 제어가 용이하나, PNEG의 경우 분말 제조 시 유리 형성 후 분쇄를 통해 제조되며, 입도가 대개 수십 ㎛ 이하로 작아질 경우 PL-QY가 저하되어, 향후 잉크젯 공정 응용을 위해서는 고효율의 분말 제조공정 개발이 필요하다. 또한, 유리 소재의 경우 절연체로서 기존 QD 소재 대비 electro-luminescence(EL) 소자의 활성층으로 사용하는데 제약이 있어 PNEG을 이용한 EL 소자 제작에 대한 연구도 필요하다. 마지막으로, 기존 c-PNC 소재와 같이 Pb가 함유되지 않은 PNEG 소재의 개발이 선결되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 해결 과제들에도 불구하고, PNEG 소재는 기존 c-QD 소재 대비 매우 우수한 안정성을 기반으로 고품위 고색재현 디스플레이용 색변환 소재로서 다양한 응용에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Post-tensioned Precast concrete System(PPS) consists of U-shaped precast wide beams and concrete column. The continuity of beam-column joint is provided with floor concrete cast on the PC shell beam and post-tensioning. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the response of PPS interior beam-column joint subjected to cyclic lateral loading. To this end, an experimental investigation was performed with three half-scale specimens of interior connection. The design parameters are the amount of beam reinforcement placed inside the joint core. The test results showed that cracks were distributed well without my significant degradation of strength and ductility. Also, it was found that the prestressing may affect to alter the torsional crack angle. And the specimens sufficiently resist up to limiting drift ratio of 0.035 in accordance with the provisional by ACl of acceptance criteria for concrete special moment frames.

$\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ nanorods were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition method using nickel-oxide nanoparticle as a catalyst and gallium metal powder as a source material. The average diameter of nanorods was around 160 nm and the average length was $4{\mu}m$. Also, we confirmed that the synthesis of nanorods follows the vapor-solid growth mechanism. From the results of X-ray diffraction and HR-TEM observation, it can be found that the synthesized nanorods consisted of a typical core-shell structure with single-crystalline $\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ core with a monoclinic crystal structure and an outer amorphous gallium oxide layer. Li/$\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ nanorods cell delivered capacity of 867 mAh/g-$\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ at first discharge. Although the Li/$\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ nanorods cell showed low coulombic efficiency at first cycle, the cell exhibited stable cycle life property after fifth cycle.

This study presents the preparation of double emulsions in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based microfluidic device. To improve the wettability of hydrophilic continuous phase onto a hydrophobic PDMS microchannel, the surface was modified with 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (TPM) and then sequentially reacted with acrylic acid monomer solution, which produced selective covalent bonding between acrylic acids and methacrylate groups. For the proof of selective surface modification, tolonium chloride solution was used to identify the modified region and we confirmed that the approach was successfully performed. When water containing 0.5% w/w sodium dodecyl sulfate and 1% w/w Span80 with hexadecane were loaded into the selectively modified microfluidic channels, we can produce stable double emulsion. Based on the spreading coefficients, we predict the morphology of double emulsions. Our proposed method efficiently produces monodisperse double emulsions having 48.5 ${\mu}m$(CV:1.6%) core and 65.1 ${\mu}m$ (CV:1.6%) shell. Furthermore, the multiple emulsions having different numbers of core were easily prepared by simple control of flow rates.

To prepare chitosan-based polymeric amphiphiles that can form nanosized core-shell structures (nanopar­ticles) in aqueous milieu, chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs) were modified chemically with hydrophobic cholesterol groups. The physicochemical properties of the hydrophobized COSs (COSCs) were investigated by using dynamic light scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy. The feasibility of applying the COSCs to biomedical applications was investigated by introducing them into a gene delivery system. The COSCs formed nanosized self-aggregates in aqueous environments. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of the COSC nanoparticles were closely related to the molecular weights of the COSs and the number of hydrophobic groups per COS chain. The critical aggregation concentration values decreased upon increasing the hydrophobicity of the COSCs. The COSCs effi­ciently condensed plasmid DNA into nanosized ion-complexes, in contrast to the effect of the unmodified COSs. An investigation of gene condensation, performed using a gel retardation assay, revealed that $COS6(M_n=6,040 Da)$ containing $5\%$ of cholesteryl chloroformate (COS6C5) formed a stable DNA complex at a COS6C5/DNA weight ratio of 2. In contrast, COS6, the unmodified COS, failed to form a stable COS/DNA complex even at an elevated weight ratio of 8. Furthermore, the COS6C5/DNA complex enhanced the in vitro transfection efficiency on Human embryonic kidney 293 cells by over 100 and 3 times those of COS6 and poly(L-lysine), respectively. Therefore, hydrophobized chitosan oligosaccharide can be considered as an efficient gene carrier for gene delivery systems.

Herein we report the in-situ synthesis and direct decoration of chalcogenide naoparticles (NPs) onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) through an ionic liquid-assisted sonochemical method (ILASM). The as-obtained MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/CdTe, MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/ZnTe and MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/ZnSe nanocomposites were characterized by TEM images and EDS spectra. In particular, the morphologies of nanocomposites such as bump-like, rough, and smooth core-shell structures were strongly influenced by the type of precursors and the interactions with MWCNT. This synthetic strategy opens a new way to directly synthesize and deposit semiconducting NPs (s-NPs) onto CNTs, which consist of binary components obtained from two precursors with different reaction rates.
