In this work, the effect of catalysts on the mechanical properties of carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy matrix composites cured by cationic latent thermal catalysts, i.e., N-benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate (BPH) was studied. Differential scanning calorimetry was executed for thermal characterization of the epoxy matrix system. Mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were studied by interlaminar shear strength (ILSS), critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$), and specific fracture energy ($G_{IC}$). As a result, the conversion of neat epoxy matrix cured by BPH was higher than that of one cured by diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM). The ILSS, $K_{IC}$, $G_{IC}$, and impact strength of the composites cured by BPH were also superior to those of the composites cured by DDM. This was probably the consequence of the effect of the substituted benzene group of BPH catalyst, resulting in an increase in the cross-link density and structural stability of the composites studied.

Red color light emitting diodes were fabricated using CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). Patterned indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was used as a transparent anode, and oxygen plasma treatment on a surface of ITO was performed. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was spin coated on the ITO surface as a hole injection layer. Then CdSe/CdS/ZnS QDs was spin coated and thermal treatment was performed for the cross-linking of QDs. TiO2 was coated on the QDs as an electron transport layer, and 150 nm of aluminum cathode was formed using thermal evaporator and shadow mask. The device shows a pure red color emission at 606 nm wavelength. Device characteristics will be presented in detail.

To improve the poor mechanical and low-temperature properties of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP)-based propellants, the addition of binders was investigated using GAP and flexible polymer backbone-structural polycaprolactone (PCP) at various weight(wt) ratios, and varying the ratio of Desmodur N-100 pluriisocyanate (N-100) to isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). Using Gee's theory, the solubility parameter of the PCP network was determined, in order to elucidate the physical and chemical interaction between GAP and PCP. The structure of the binder networks was characterized by measuring the cross-link densities and molecular weights between cross-links ($M_c$) obtained by a swelling experiment using Flory-Rhener theory. The thermal and mechanical properties of the segmented block copolyurethane (GAP-b-PCP) binders prepared by the incorporation of PCP into the binder recipes were investigated, along with the effect of the different curatives ratios.

To obtaingood resolution in PDP, one of the important factors is to achieve the accuracy of barrier ribs. The photolithographic process can be used to form patterns of barrier rib with high accuracy and a high aspect ratio. The composition for photolithography is based on the $B_2O_3-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ glass system including additives such as alkali oxides and alkali earth oxides. The refractive index and thermal properties in glass system are changed by amount of alkali oxides and alkali earth oxides. Therefore, it is important that additives are controlled to have proper refractive index and thermal properties. The additives are contributed to non-bridging oxygen within the glass network, causing a change of density. In addition to a change of the structural cross-link density, the refractive index, dielectric and thermal properties glass are correlated with ionic radius and polarizability of cations. In this study, we investigated the refractive index and the thermal properties such as glass transition temperature, glass softening temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion by changing composition in the $B_2O_3-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ glass system.

PURPOSE. This study aimed to assess the effect of non-thermal plasma on the shear bond strength of resin cements to polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) in comparison to other surface treatment methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Eighty PEKK discs were subjected to different surface treatments: (1) Untreated (UT); (2) Non-thermal plasma (NTP); (3) Sandblasting with $50{\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$ particles (SB); and (4) Sandblasting + Non-thermal plasma (SB+NTP). After each surface treatment, the contact angle was measured. Surface conditioning with Visio.Link was applied in all groups after pre-treatment. RelyX Unicem resin cement was bonded onto the PEKK specimens. After fabrication of the specimens, half of each group (n=10) was initially tested, while the other half was subjected to thermocycling ($5^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ at 10,000 cycles). Shear bond strength (SBS) testing was performed using a universal testing machine, and failure modes were assessed using stereomicroscopy. The SBS results were analyzed statistically using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test. Independent t-test was used to examine the effect of thermocycling (P<.05). RESULTS. The highest SBS values with or without thermocycling were observed with PEKK specimens that were treated with SB+NTP followed by the SB group. The lowest SBS results were observed in the UT groups. CONCLUSION. The shear bond strength between PEKK and resin cements was improved using non-thermal plasma treatment in combination with sandblasting.

In this paper, we propose a black ice detection system using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Black ice poses a serious threat to road safety, particularly during winter conditions. To overcome this problem, we introduce a CNN-based architecture for real-time black ice detection with an encoder-decoder network, specifically designed for real-time black ice detection using thermal images. To train the network, we establish a specialized experimental platform to capture thermal images of various black ice formations on diverse road surfaces, including cement and asphalt. This enables us to curate a comprehensive dataset of thermal road black ice images for a training and evaluation purpose. Additionally, in order to enhance the accuracy of black ice detection, we propose a multi-scale dilation convolution feature fusion (MsDC-FF) technique. This proposed technique dynamically adjusts the dilation ratios based on the input image's resolution, improving the network's ability to capture fine-grained details. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed network model compared to conventional image segmentation models. Our model achieved an mIoU of 95.93%, while LinkNet achieved an mIoU of 95.39%. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed model in this paper could offer a promising solution for real-time black ice detection, thereby enhancing road safety during winter conditions.

본 연구에서는 카본블랙이 충전된 ethylene-propylene dine monomer(EPDM) 고무에 대한 가교밀도 측정법을 확립하고 EPDM 고무호스에 대해 열가속 및 산소스트레스를 가하여 가교밀도 변화를 측정하였다. 노화 초반에는 산화황가교의 형성으로 고무의 가교밀도측정값이 약간 저하하였다가 노화시간이 지남에 따라 일부 미반응 황 분자들의 가황반응으로 추가적인 가교 결합을 형성하면서 가교밀도측정값은 점차 증가하였다. 이들 가교밀도 변화거동은 인장강도의 거동과 유사하였다. $180^{\circ}C$의 고온노화에서는 노화시간이 길어짐에 따라 노화에 따른 가교밀도의 증가폭은 그다지 크지 않았으나, 인장강도와 신장률은 크게 저하하였다. 즉, 온도가 높을 수록 EPDM 고무의 가교밀도의 변동보다는 EPDM 분자사슬에서의 산화물(carbonyl groups) 형성과, 가교점의 산화황 생성으로 기계적 물성의 열화가 일어난 것이다.

In this study, an experimental approach to measure a suite of low weight hydrocarbons was investigated with an emphasis on ethylene (EL) along with many others (ethane (EA), propane (PA), propylene (PL), n-butane (BA), acetylene (AL), methyl acetylene (ML)). Their concentrations were quantified using GC-FID system equipped with thermal desorption (TD) system. The TD-based analysis was conducted using both Link Tube/Thermal Desorber (LT/TD) method and Modified Injection through a Thermal Desorption (MITD) method. The results of these analyses were evaluated in a number of respects. The system allowed the detection of all compounds except methane with the mean response factor (RF) of 10.28 (EA) to 11.94 (PL). The method detection limits of target compounds were seen in the range of 0.027 (ML) to 0.146 ng (BA). The emission flux of some environmental samples (fruits), when measured using a small flux chamber system, fell in the range of 0.14 (AL: Kiwi) to $181ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$ (EL: Apple Peel). The results of this study confirm that the experimental approach developed in this study allows to accurately measure emissions of low weight hydrocarbons (LWHC) like ethylene from various natural and man-made source processes.

나노구조 교환결합 삼층박막의 열적안정성을 예측하기 위한 최근의 연구진전에 대하여 리뷰한다. 새로운 해석적/수치적 방법을 이용하여 나노구조 교환결합 삼층박막의 에너지 배리어, 나아가서 열적안정성을 예측한다. 이 방법의 특징은 수치적인 방법을 이용하여 얻은 magnetostatic 자기장을 포함하는 해석적인 전체 에너지 방정식을 이용함에 있다. 단자구라는 가정하에, 모든 magnetostatic 자기장은 자성층 전체 부피에 대해 그 값을 평균함으로써 유효 값을 취할 수 있다. 그러나, 평형상태에서는 자구의 구조가 복잡하며, 또한 불안정한 saddle point에서의 자구 구조를 알 수 있는 직접적인 방법이 없기 때문에, saddle point에서의 magnetostatic 자기장 역시 얻을 수 없다. 이러한 어려움은 micromagnetic simulation을 통해 얻을 수 있는 critical 자기장과 saddle point에서의 magnetostatic 자기장을 연결하는 방정식을 사용함으로써 극복되었다. 이 방법은 신뢰성이 확보된 micromagnetic simulation에 기반을 두고 있기 때문에 열적안정성을 정확하게 예측하는 것이 가능하다.

This paper proposes a field weakening control method for operating an induction motor with a variable DC input voltage condition. In the variable DC voltage condition such as a battery, the field weakening method are required for the maximum output power. The conventional field weakening control methods can be used for operating the induction motor over the rated speed in a constant DC-link voltage condition. However, the conventional methods for operating the motor with the variable DC voltage is not suitable for the maximum output power. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes the optimized field weakening control method to extend the operating range of the induction motor with a rated power in a limited thermal and a wide DC input voltage conditions. The optimized d-axis and q-axis current equations are derived according to the field weakening region I and II to extend the operating region. The experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
