The effects of low temperature plasma treatment on the properties of three types of foams, polyurethane(PU), injection phylon(IP), and phylon(PH) that used for footwear mid-sole were examined. The change of surface properties of foams were characterized by electron scanning microscope, contact angle measurement, and universal testing machine. Adhesion was tested by T-peel tests of plasma treated foams/polyurethane adhesive joints. The contact angle of three types of foams were decreased dramatically with the plasma treatment time, specifically noticeable in the case of phylon(Ph). It has shown the relationship with the contact angle of phylon(PH) and the distance between electrode and samples. The peel strength of foams were increased with the increase of plasma treatment time.

In this research, the tensile strength of molded parts and pressure distribution were analyzed to study the cavity filling stage and packing stage in injection molding. The measurement of cavity pressure was obtained by a data acquisition system with the installation of transducers in the cavity. Molded parts were tested by a universal testing machine to obtain the tensile strength. For the experimental work, the tensile strength of molded parts increased with longer packing time and exact freezing time of the gate was obtained by a cavity pressure curve. In addition, the effect of packing did not occur and tensile strength was almost constant after early 1.5 sec of the freezing time of gate. Density tended to be higher about 0.2% due to a larger degree of mold temperature and melt temperature. Also, changing pressure in the cavity was effectively sensed. Thereafter, the possibility of the development of pattern recognition expert system was confirmed on the basis of the experimental results.

The effect of the content of microsilica and nanosilica continuously modified with hydroxy silane and epoxy-modified silicone in cycloaliphatic epoxy/microsilica/nanosilica composites (EMNCs) on the mechanical and water repellent properties was evaluated. Surface-modified micro- and nanosilica was well-mixed with a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin in the presence of polyester-modified polydimethylsiloxane (PEM-PDMS) as a dispersing agent using an ultrasonicator. Tensile and flexural tests were carried out using a universal testing machine (UTM). The water repellent property was evaluated by contact angle measurements of water on the composite surface. Tensile strength of the composite could be enhanced by 32.2% up to 91.4 MPa, and the flexural strength was raised to 122.0 MPa, which is 38.8% higher than that of neat epoxy. The contact angle of water on the composite was as high as $104.1^{\circ}$.

To prepare soybean curds, the concentration of $CaCl_2,\;MgCl_2,\;CaSO_4$ and glucono-%{\delta}$-lactone fresh solution as coagulants were determined by transmittance of whey using spectrophotometer. The concentrations of four coagulants at which the transmittance had the highest value were chosen. Moisture content, yield and protein recovery of soybean curds prepared with four coagulants were investigated. The textural properties were examined by Instron Universal Testing Machine, and sensory evaluation was carried out. The microstructure of soybean curds was examined by SEM. Soybean curds obtained with $CaCl_2\;and\;MgCl_2$ were hard and coarse, and had roasted nutty taste, whereas those with $CaSO_4$ and GDL revealed very smooth, soft and uniform. Soybean curd prepared with GDL had the lowest acceptability because of sour taste. The texture and acceptability of soybean curds were influenced by the type of coagulant.

Every structure has the expected life span of its own and it has to be rebuilt. New buildings were preferred and put value a quantitative spread of apartment houses because of the rapid growth of national economy. Therefore, the apartment houses were not taken into consideration about maintenances. Carbon fiber sheet is widely used to strengthen old structural members but it is very rarely applied to a construction field for apartment houses. The purpose of this study is to develop effective strengthening methods for reinforced concrete columns using carbon fiber sheets. Eight reinforced concrete column specimens confined by carbon fiber sheet of uniaxial direction were tested using 10,000kN universal testing machine (UTM).

3D printing products manufactured by material extrusion are used in many industrial fields recently. However, these products are difficult to use in the field due to their low tensile strengths. In order to solve this problem, research on improving the tensile strength of the output using a 3D printer has been continuously conducted. In this study, we performed a tensile test using Universal Testing Machine according to infill pattern, nozzle temperature, bed temperature, and printing speed conditions. Results revealed that tensile specimen of concentric shape had the highest tensile strength in infill pattern condition and that the tensile strength increased linearly with increasing nozzle and bed temperatures. However, the tensile strength decreased with increasing printing speed. Consequently, we confirmed that tensile strength could be increased and decreased depending on output conditions of 3D printing.

This study was performed to compare the fluoride release pattern and compressive strength of recently developed resin-modified glass ionomers($Ketac^{TM}$ N 100 and Fuji Fil LC) with those of conventional glass ionomer restorative material(Fuji II LC). Fifteen sample discs(6 mm diameter and 1 mm height) were prepared for each tested material. The fluoride release was measured by pH/ISE meter(750P, Istek, Korea) for 31 days. For compressive strength experiment, fifteen cylindrical specimens were prepared for each tested material. Each specimen was submitted to compressive strength testing in an universal testing machine(Kyung-sung Testing Machine Co., Korea) at crosshead speed of 5.0mm/min until failure. The results can be summarized as follows; 1. Fuji Fil LC released the highest amount of fluoride, followed by Fuji II LC and $Ketac^{TM}$ N 100(p<0.05). 2. The compressive strength of Fuji Fil LC was the lowest(p<0.05). However, no significant difference was found from Fuji II LC and $Ketac^{TM}$ N 100(p>0.05). By considering the above results, careful case selection and accurate clinical application is recommended when using $Ketac^{TM}$ N 100 and Fuji Fil LC.

It was the purpose of this study to investigate the fracture mode of dental amalgam by observing the crack propagation, and to relate this to the microstructure of the amalgam. Caulk 20th Century Regular, Caulk Spherical, Dispersalloy, and Tytin amalgam alloys were used for this study. After each amalgam alloy and Hg measured exactly by the balance was triturated by the mechanical amalgamator (Capmaster, S.S. White), the triturated mass was inserted into the cylindrical metal mold which was 4 mm in diameter and 12 mm in height and was pressed by the Instron Universal Testing Machine at the speed of 1mm/min with 120Kg. The specimen removed from the mold was stored in the room temperature for a week. This specimen was polished with the emery papers from #100 to #200 and finally on the polishing cloth with 0.06${\mu}Al_2O_3$ powder suspended in water. The specimen was placed on the Instron testing machine in the method similar to the diametral tensile test and loaded at the crosshead speed of 0.05mm/min. The load was stopped short of fracture. The cracks on the polished surface of specimen was examined with scanning electron microscope (JSM-35) and analyzed by EPMA (Electron probe microanalyzer). The following results were obtained. 1. In low copper lathe-cut amalgam, the crack went through the voids and ${\gamma}_2$ phase, through the ${\gamma}_1$ phase around the ${\gamma}$ particles. 2. In low copper spherical amalgam, it was observed that the crack passed through the ${\gamma}_2$ and ${\gamma}_1$ phase, and through the boundary between the ${\gamma}_1$ and ${\gamma}$ phase. 3. In high copper dispersant (Dispersalloy) amalgam, the crack was found to propagate at the interface between the ${\gamma}_1$ matrix and reaction ring around the dispersant (Ag-Cu) particles, and to pass through the Ag-Sn particles. 4. In high copper single composition (Tytin) amalgam, the crack went through the ${\gamma}_1$ matrix between ${\eta}$ crystals, and through the unreacted alloy particle (core).

Milk powders were made by several drying methods and raw materials, and rheological properties of milk powders were investigated by an Instron Universial Testing Machine. The results obtained are summarised as follows. Bulk density of the drum dried whole milk powder was $0.382\;g/cm^3$ and was higher than that of other milk powders. The Hausner ratio, angle of repose and compressibility of the spray dried skim milk powder were 1.127, $32.5^{\circ}$ and 0.029 respectively. This result indicated that skim milk powder showed free flowing characterristics. The compressibility of the drum dried whole milk powder was decreased by the decrease of moisture content. Compressibility of the milk granule was 0.056 and was lower than that of milk powder. The spray dried milk powder of a grobular shape had higher solidity than the freeze or drum dried milk powder. The drum dried milk powder particles consist of irregular shape.
