This study helps to clarify conflicting reports by comparing the physical properties and accuracy of complete denture processed by the pack and press technique, continuous- pressure injection technique(SR-Ivocap system) and Mark press technique. The 6 different specimens have been evaluated using the SEM, Impact test, DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and DMTA (Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis). Each sample was made of SR-Ivocap resin and QC-20 resin by different processing methods. The results were as follows ; 1. As the result of the observation on the fracture surface of resin by use of SEM, sample SR-Ivocap resin cured by continuous pressure injection method showed the most homogeneous structure. This is why molecules in SR-Ivocap resin have no orientation. 2. As the result of the Impact test in order to measure the deformity, fracture energy and impact resistance of resin, the samples with QC-20 acrylic resin and SR-Ivocap resin cured by continuous pressure injection method were exellent. 3. In consequence of measuring ${\alpha}$-glass transition temperature by use of DSC on the basis of temperature change, the glass transition temperatures of sample QC-20 resin cured by pack and press method and sample SR-Ivocap resin cured by continuous pressure injection method were very similar. Thus volumetric stability could not be evaluated only by glass transition temperature. 4. In comparing volumetric stability data by DMTA, the glass transition temperature(Tg) showed $137.88^{\circ}C$ at sample QC-20 resin cured by pack and press method and $139.78^{\circ}C$ at sample SR-Ivocap resin cured by continuous pressure injection method. Therefore sample SR-Ivocap resin cured by continuous pressure injection method seems to be superior to sample QC-20 resin cured by pack and press method in the dimensional stability at high temperature. 5. In comparing storage modulus data by DMTA, the storage modulus of sample SR-Ivocap resin cured by continuous pressure injection method was higher than that of sample QC-20 resin cured by pack and press method. So. sample SR-Ivocap resin cured by continuous pressure injection method seems to be superior to sample QC-20 resin cured by pack and press method in impact strength.

우리가 소비하는 식량의 확보는 단위 수량의 증대 뿐만 아니라, 생산이후 수확, 조제가공 및 건조 저장과정에서의 곡물 손실 방지 또는 감소로 인한 간접 증산으로도 이룩될 수 있는데, 현재 우리나라에서는 수확 이후의 곡물 손실량이 전체 생산량의 약 11%에 달하는 것으로 추정되고 있다(12). 여기서 식량의 중요 손실원으로 기계적 원인과 곡물 자체의 특성에 의한 두가지 요인을 고려할 수 있다. 따라서 쌀의 물리적 특성이 규명되면 각 과정에서 발생되는 기계적 손실을 더욱 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 중요성에도 불구하고 지금까지 우리나라에서는 벼의 물리적 특성에 관한 연구가 거의 없는 실정이다. 특히 우리나라에 많이 보급되고 있는 통일계 품종은 관행 품종에 비하여 물리적 특성이 크게 다르다고 인정되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 벼와 현미의 특성을 기계적 및 유동학적 측면에서 함수율 및 품종별로 규명하여, 농업기계의 설계 및 작동조건, 그리고, 조제가공의 기초적 자료로 제시하고자 하였다. 실험 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 준 정하중의 압축시험에서 함수율은 벼와 현미의 기계적 및 유동학적 특성에 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 특히 높은 함수율에서는 점성적인 특성이, 낮은 함수율에서는 탄성적인 특성이 나타났다. 2. 벼와 현미의 함수율이 24-12% (습량기준)의 범위에 있을 때 현미의 항복점은 2.0-7.2kg, 벼의 항복점은 2.5-7.6kg을 나타냈으며, 전반적으로 현미보다 벼의 항복점이 0.5-1kg 더 높았다. 또한 함수율이 18%(습량기준) 이하에서는 일반계 품종이 통일계 품종보다 압축 강도가 더 높았으나 18% 이상의 높은 함수율에서는 더 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 낮은 함수율에서 현미의 항복점은 현미 두께 대 길이의 비의 증가에 따라 직선적으로 감소하였다. 3. 현미의 최대압축 강도는 함수율 24-12%(습량기준)의 범위에서 2.94-10.4kg을 나타냈으며, 14% 수준의 낮은 함수율에서는 현미의 최대 압축 강도는 5.66-11.4kg으로 품종간에 높은 유의성이 있었다. 따라서 벼와 현미의 크기가 최대 압축 강도에 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 사료된다. 4. 함수율 12-24%(습량기준)의 범위에서, 현미의 항복점에서 변형은 0.20-0.40mm를 나타냈으며, 함수율이 약 17%일 때 최소치를 보였다. 벼의 항복점에서 변형은 0.20-0.41mm 였으며 통일계 품종이 일반계 품종보다 변형이 더 많이 생겼다. 5. 함수율 24-12%(습량기준)의 범위에서, 일반계 품종의 레질리언스(resilience)는 $0.142-0.603kg{\cdot}mm$, 통일계 품종의 레질리언스는 $0.229-0.601kg{\cdot}mm$로 나타났다. 함수율이 19% 이하에서는 일반계 품종이 통일계 품종보다 더 높게 나타났으며 19% 이상에서는 반대 현상이 일어났다. 또한 14%의 낮은 함수율에서, 현미의 레질리언스는 현미 두께 대 길이의 비의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 벼의 레질리언스는 함수율의 감소에 따라 증가했으며, 그 범위는 $0.285-0.850kg{\cdot}mm$이었다. 6. 현미의 터프니스(toughness)는 함수율 24-12%(습량기준)의 범위에서 $0.841-2.795kg{\cdot}mm$이었다. 또한 일반계 품종과 통일계 품종 사이에는 유의성이 없었으나. 품종간에는 높은 유의성이 있었다. 7. 현미의 탄성계수와 스티프니스(stiffness)는 함수율의 감소에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였다. 현미의 함수율이 24-12%(습량기준)의 범위에 있을 때 탄성계수는 $7-40kg/mm^2$, 스티프니스는 8-34kg/mm를 나타냈다.

Physical properties and flammability of polyhydroxyamides (PHAs) haying poly (ethylene-glycol) methyl ether (MPEG) and/or dimethylphenoxy pendants were studied by using DSC, TGA, FTIR, pyrolysis combustion flow calorimeter (PCFC), and X-ray diffractometer. The degradation temperatures of the polymers were recorded in the ranges of $276{\sim}396^{\circ}C$ in air. PCFC results showed that the heat release (HR) capacity and total heat release (total HR) values of the PHAs were increased with in-creasing molecular weight of MPEG. In case of M-PHA 2 annealed at $290^{\circ}C$, the values of HR capacity were siginificantly decreased from 253 to 42 J/gK, and 60% weight loss temperatures increased from 408 to $856^{\circ}C$ with an annealing temperature. The activation energy for the decomposition reaction of the PHAs showed in the range of $129.3{\sim}235.1kJ/mol$, which increased with increasing conversion. Tensile modulus of PHAs were decreased as increasing chain of MPEG, and showed an increase more than initial modulus after converted to PBOs.

A series of solid solutions of the $CaGa_1-xFexO_3-y$ system with the compositions of x=0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 has been prepared at $1150^{\circ}C$ under an atmospheric air pressure. The structure, nonstoichiometric chemical formula, and the distribution of cations for the solid solutions are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, Mohr salt titration, Mossbauer spectroscopic analysis. Their physical properties are discussed with electrical conductivity and magnetic measurements. The crystal system of all the compositions is a brownmillerite orthorhombic system from the X-ray diffraction analysis and the reduced lattice volume increases linearly with x value except that of the composition of x=0.25. All the solid solutions do not contain $Fe^{4+}$ ion and the mole number of oxygen vacancies or y value is 0.50 from Mohr salt analysis. The oxidation state of Fe ion, the coordination state, the structure change in the Brownmillerite-type structure, and the distribution of $Ga^{3+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ ions are discussed with Mossbauer spectroscopic analysis. The electrical conductivity increases and activation energy decreases, as x value increases. The traditional semiconducting property of this system is described in terms of band theory. The compositions of x=0.50∼1.00 show a thermal magnetic hysteresis in the magnetic measurement with the cooling conditions, which is discussed in terms of the space group and Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction.

In order to recycle the coal bottom ashes (denoted as BA) produced from a thermal power plant, the artificial aggregates (denoted as AAs) containing BA and red clay were manufactured, and the physical properties of AAs were studied as a function of particle size of BA and batch compositions. As-received BA had 38 wt% coarse particles of above 2 mm and many unburned carbon mass and porous slag particles were co-existed. So the two particle sizes of BA, the fine (< 100 ${\mu}m$) and coarse (< 2 mm), were prepared by milling and screening process. The AAs containing fine BA sintered at $1100{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ had the higher bulk density and lower water absorption compared to the specimen made of coarse BA. The inside core of AAs manufactured by using coarse BA showed nonuniform and porous microstructure, while the AAs made of fine BA had a uniform and dense microstructure. In this research, the AAs containing BA and red clay with various bulk density (1.2~1.7) and water absorption (13~21 %) could be manufactured by controlling the particle size of BA and batch compositions, so the AAs of various physical properties could be applied to the wide fields such as construction/building materials in near future.

Films of poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/chitosan blends and its blend hydrogels were prepared by the solution casting method. The state of miscibility of the blends and blend hydrogels were examined over the entire composition range by differential scanning carorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). DSC analysis shows the depression of melting point of PVA in the blends and the decrease of crystallization temperature of PVA in the blends were observed with increasing chitosan content in the blends. TGA analysis indicates that chitosan was thermally more stable than PVA and the thermal stability of PVA in the blends was higher than that of pure PVA, due to some interactions between two component polymers in the blend. The glass transition temperature $(T_g)$ of the chitosan and of PVA, measured by DMA, were at 160 and $90^{\circ}C$, respectively. The $T_g$ of the blends was changed with the content of chitosan in the blends. The results of thermal and viscoelastic analysis indicate some miscibility between component polymers in the blend exists. Moisture and cross linking in the blend and blend hydrogel, which strongly change thermal and physical properties of hydrophilic polymers, affected the miscibility of chitosan and PVA to a small extent.

In Korea, approximately 48% of all households live in apartments, which are a form of multi-unit dwellings, and this figure increases up to 58%, when row houses and multiplex houses are included. As such, majority of the population reside in multi-unit dwellings where they are exposed to the problem of floor impact noise that can cause disputes and conflicts. Accordingly, this study was conducted to manufacture a high-weight, high-stiffness foamed concrete in order to develop a technology to reduce the floor impact noise. For the purpose of deriving the optimum mixing ratio for the foamed concrete that best reduces the floor impact noise, the amounts of the foaming agent, lightweight aggregate and binder were varied accordingly. Also, the target characteristics of the concrete to be developed included density of over $0.7t/m^3$, compressive strength of over $2.0N/mm^2$ and thermal conductivity of under 0.19 W/mK. The results of the experiment showed that the fluidity was very excellent at over 190 mm, regardless of the type and input amount of foaming agent and lightweight aggregate. The density and compressive strength measurements showed that the target density and compressive strength were satisfied in the specimen with 50% foam mixing ratio for foamed concrete and in all of the mixtures for the lightweight aggregate foamed concrete. In addition, the thermal conductivity measurements showed that the target thermal conductivity was satisfied in all of the foamed concrete specimens, except for VS50, in the 25% replacement ratio case for Type A aggregate, and all of the mixtures for Type B aggregate.

Rape-seed oil has high viscosity and high rubber content like other vegetable oils. When crude rape-seed oil obtained by a general oil extraction process is used in a diesel engine, automization condition during injection is not good and a large amount of combustion product is doposited in a combustion chamber. The improvement of a diesel engine is required to use rape-seed oil as a diesel engine fuel. In this study, the physical and chemical properties and combustion characteristics of rape-seed oil were investigated. The auxiliary aid was developed to improve automization condition and the effect of the auxiliary injection aid on the performance of a diesel engine was determined. The results are as follows. 1) Oil content of rape-seed is 45%. The exraction rate is 33%. The resuls show higher values compared to those of other vegetable oils. 2) The viscosity of rape-seed oil is 50.8 cSt and nearly 14 times of diesel oil viscosity. 3) The heating value and flash point of rape-seed oil are 9720kcal/Kg and 318$^{\circ}C$, respectively. 4) In case rape-seed oil is used as fuel, brake horse power, specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency are compared to those of diesel oil. The results of rape-seed oil show 3.6%, 12.7% and 3.1% higher values. 5) Particle size of injection fuel with the auxiliary injection aid on the performance of a diesel engine was determined. The results are as follows. 1) Oil content of rape-seed is 45%. The extraction rate is 33%. The results show higher values compared to those of other vegetable oils. 2) The viscosity of rape-seed oil is 50.8 cSt and nearly 14 times of diesel oil viscosity. 3) The heating value and flash point of rape-seed oil are 9720kcal/Kg and 318.deg.C, respectively. 4) In case rape-seed oil is used as fuel, brake horse power, specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency are compared to theose of diesel oil. The results of rape-seed oil show 3.6%, 12.7% and 3.1% higher values. 5) Particle size of injection fuel with the auxiliary injection aids is 100.mu.m smaller than that od injection fuel without the aid. 6) Brake horse power and brake thermal efficiency with the auxiliary injection aid increase 5.07% and 6.07%, respectively. However, specific fuel consumption decreases 3.85% with the auxiliary injection aid.

In this research, we manufactured the paste opaque porcelains using Propylene Glycol (PG) and Buthylene Glycol (BG) as a solvent, and compared the composition of solvents, the coefficient of thermal expansion, the particle size distribution, the viscosity and bonding strength to metal, and the tone with those of the commercial products(Duceram Plus, Duceram GmbH; VMK 95, Vita Co.; Noritake EX-3, Noritake Co.)used in the clinical field. The results of the research were as follows: 1. The result of solvent analysis indicated that the solvents included in the paste opaque porcelains of the control group were mainly composed of Glycols. 2. From the Coefficient of thermal expansion measurement, we drew out the following results; testing group: $14.0\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$, Duceram Plus: $13.9\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$, VMK 95: $14.3\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$, and Noritake EX-3: $13.3\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$. 3. Seen from the result of particle size distribution measurement, the experimental group was similar to the control group in 1$\mu m$ below, but the experimental group marked the highest distribution of 61% in the case of between 1$\mu m$ and 5$\mu m$. Between 5$\mu m$ and 10$\mu m$, they showed relatively similar distribution, and Noritake EX-3 was turned out the highest distribution of 29% in 10$\mu m$ above. 4. From the result of viscosity measurement, Duceram plus showed the highest viscosity throughout all the measurements followed by Noritake Ex-3, experimental group and VMK 95 in decreasing order. 5. The result of bonding strength measurement was EX 35.53 $\beta\acute{A}$, DU 40.88 $\beta\acute{A}$, VM 39.43 $\beta\acute{A}$, and NO 35.39 $\beta\acute{A}$, and no significant difference was found between the experimental group and the control groups(P>0.05). 6. The measurement of the tone indicated that the $L^*$ value of the experimental group was 86.89 0.63 in average, which is higher than the control group in its brightness. In the case of the $a^*$ value, Duceram Plus, VMK 95 and EX-3 showed positive value, whereas the testing group was turned out negative value. In $b^*$ value, Duceram Plus proved the highest. From the results of this research, the paste opaque porcelains using Propylene Glycol (PG) and Buthylene Glycol (BG) as a solvent did not make differences from the commercial products that are actually used in the clinical fields. Therefore, it is possible to utilize Propylene Glycol (PG) and Buthylene Glycol (BG) for the paste opaque porcelains of P.F.M crown. It is also recommended that further researches concerning the compositions and forms of powder, the types of organic solvent components and the ratio of mixture proceeded in order to improve the level of productivity in the future.

The G-class cement is commonly used in practice for geothermal well cementing in order to protect a steel casing that is designed to transport hot water/steam from deep subsurface to ground surface during operating a geothermal power plant. In order to maintain optimal performance of geothermal wells, physical properties of the cementing material should be satisfactory. In this paper, relevant factors (i.e., groutability, uniaxial compression strength, thermal conductivity and free fluid content) of the G-class cement were experimentally examined with consideration of various water-cement (w/c) ratios. Important findings through the experiments herein are as follows. (1) Groutability of the G-class cement increases by adding a small dose of retarder. (2) There would be a structural defect caused when the w/c ratio is kept higher in order to secure groutability. (3) Thermal conductivity of the G-class cement is small enough to prevent heat loss from hot steam or water to the outer ground formation during generating electricity. (4) The G-class cement does not form free water channel in cementing a geothermal well. (5) The Phenolphthalein indicator is applicable to the distinction of the G-class cement from the drilling mud.
