Polysulfone (PSF) is one of an important polymer that has been widely used in the manufacture of asymmetric microfiltration (MF) membranes. PSF membrane is considered as hydrophobic membrane that easily fouled during membrane operation process. The blending method is an effective method for improving the fouling resistance of PSF membranes. sPES (sulfonated polyethersulfone) is one of the useful polymers that can be used in PSF polymer blend method to improve hydrophilicity of PSF membranes. In this study, microfiltration polymer membranes were prepared by using PSF/sPES/PVP/BE/DMF casting solution and water coagulant. The morphology of MF membranes was changed by addition of a small amount of sPES in casting solution. The morphology of the sPES added membranes was changed into a highly asymmetric structure. The active layer grew and mean pore size was decreased by addition of sPES. However, the water flux of PSF/sPES/DMF/PVP/BE membrane was higher than that of PSF/DMF/PVP/BE membrane.

The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the effect of low purity methanol (LPM) on performance and smoke emission characteristics by using a four-cycle, four-cylinder, water-cooled, direct injection diesel engine with EGR system. The experiments are performed by the change of engine load in the engine load ranges of 25 to 100% with an interval of 25% under the constant engine speed of 2000 rpm. The LPM in the fuel blends contained 24.88% water by volume. The blended fuel ratios of diesel oil to LPM are maintained at 100/0, 95/5, 90/10 and 85/15% on the volume basis. In this paper, EGR rates are varied in three conditions of 0, 12.8 and 16.5%. The result shows that the brake power of a blended fuel with 15% LPM is reduced more 11.1% than that of the neat diesel oil at the full load with the EGR rate of 16.5%. At this condition, also, the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is increased by 3.2%, the exhaust gas temperature is decreased by 10.7%, the smoke opacity is decreased by 18.7% and the brake thermal efficiency is increased by 7.3%. The sharp reduction of smoke opacity for a blended fuel with the LPM content of 15% at the full load without EGR system is observed by 68.4% compared with that of the neat diesel oil due to the high oxygen content of LPM.

Gambir is a non-wood forest product with a potential of being used as wood adhesive, due to about 33% catechin in it. Meanwhile, catechins and sucrose have not been studied as adhesives. Therefore, basic characteristics of gambir-sucrose adhesives were investigated. In this research, adhesives were prepared by dissolving gambir and sucrose in distilled water, at different blending ratios of the gambir/sucrose such as 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, and 25/75 wt%. Furthermore, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was employed to determine the gambir chemical compositions, and Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was carried out to identify chemical bonds. Particleboards with a target density of 0.8 g/㎤ were then manufactured by hot-pressing for 10 min at 200℃. The internal bond (IB) strength of particleboard was subsequently measured. Based on the GC-MS analysis, 31.11% of catechin was identified. In addition, the viscosity, density, solid content, and gelation time of the adhesives, and insoluble matter content (IMC) in boiling water were 7.30~33.24 mPa.s, 1.2~1.3 g/㎤, 25.56~28.44%, 73~420 min, and 29.75~62.10%, respectively. Adding sucrose to the adhesive was observed to raise the IMC from 49.05 to 62.10%, at 180℃ and 200℃. FT-IR analysis showed that the gambir absorption peaks occurred at approximately 1620 cm^-1, assigned to the C=O stretching of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, which tended to increase with the addition of sucrose. The reaction between gambir and sucrose was observed in the form of the dimethylene ether bridge. The 25/75 wt% gambir-sucrose adhesives and 200℃ hot-pressed temperature resulted in the highest IB strength (0.89 MPa), and met the requirement of JIS A5908-2003 type 18. Consequently, the gambir-sucrose adhesive could be used as a particleboard adhesive.

Structure and characteristic of the films blended chitosan matrix with silk fibroin, extracted from Bombyx mori, were studied by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, FT-IR spectra analysis, SEM photographs, contact angle measurement and water absorbency in order to use as biomaterials. The blend films of $0\~30 wt\%$ fibroin content were prepared in acetic solution with $Li^+$ ion. It was found that the crystallinity of chitosan/fibroin blend films was decreased by the presence of intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding between animo groups of chitosan and carbonyl groups of fibroin. As the proportion of fibroin in the blend increased, anhydrous crystalline phase of chitosan disappeared, and hydrated crystalline phase decreased, and $\beta$-structure crystalline phase of fibroin was formed. Therefore the blend films were crystallized into two different crystalline region of chitosan and fibroin. Surface hydrophilicity and water absorbency increased with blending fibroin. Above 20 $wt\%$ fibroin content, hydrogel film was formed. The surface and section of the film showed uniform microstructure on SEM photographs.

Water-soluble terpolymer of acrylamide, diacetone acrylamide, and acrylic acid was prepared by redox initiators in aqueous medium. One component photoresist was synthesized by reaction of terpolymer with 4-azidoaniline. By blending the aqueous acrylamide/diacetone acrylamide copolymer solution with bisazide, 4,4'-diazidostilbene -2,2'-disulfuric acid sodium salt, two component photoresist was prepared. The photosensitivity per azido group unit mole of one component photoresist was 4 times higher than that of two component photoresist. The dot-type pattern was successfully achieved with one component photoresist at low exposure energy, which is prospective to be used as black matrix negative photoresist.

A global trend of replacing metal or glass containers with polymer-based packaging materials has been prevalent in the food packaging industry due to their ease in processibility, excellent transparency, and good cost efficiency. Barrier polymers tend to show low permeabilities for atmospheric gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, which allow them to be utilized in the food and beverage packaging industry. With the current global trend, expansion of polymeric packaging materials to new markets such as oxygen sensitive juices, flavored water, and energy drinks requires improved $CO_2$ and $O_2$ barrier properties. The improvement of the existing polymer-based barrier platform will enable a rapid market impact. In this paper, the current barrier technologies such as (1) antiplasticization-induced barrier materials, (2) synergistic effect of antiplasticization and crystallization, (3) new barrier polymers, (4) nanocomposite materials, and (5) polymer blending are introduced with their characterization techniques for the development of advanced packaging materials.

기상이변으로 인해 국지성 호우의 발생 증가와 그로 인한 수재해 피해가 증가하고 있다. 따라서 수재해를 사전에 예측하고 저감하기 위해 비구조물적 대책인 실시간 홍수예보시스템 개발 및 운영에 관한 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 일반적으로 홍수예보시스템은 대피선행시간 확보를 위해서 초단시간 혹은 단기 수치예보모델을 수문해석모형이나 예보기법의 입력으로 활용하고 있다. 초단시간 예측은 기상레이더를 기반으로 외삽, 이류, 셀 추적 등의 기법을 활용하여 0~3시간 이내의 강수예측을 수행한다. 그러나 역학이나 물리적 과정이 동반되지 못하여 0~ 2시간 이내에서의 예측성은 높은 반면, 예측시간이 길어질수록 예측력이 낮아진다. 단기수치예보모델은 종관관측에 의존하면서 역학이나 물리과정을 동반하므로 0~6시간 혹은 12시간 이상의 예측을 수행하지만, 수치모델의 고유특성인 스핀업 등의 예측 불확실성이 내재되어 있어 예측 초기시간에서의 예측력이 낮은 한계가 있다. 따라서 강수예측의 정확도 향상을 위해 레이더와 수치예보모델의 병합기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 통계분석을 통해 경험적으로 산출된 시간적 가중치를 이용한 기존 병합기법의 한계를 극복하면서 호우에 따른 가변성을 반영하는 실시간 병합기법을 개발하고, 수문학적인 활용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 사용된 예측강우 자료는 레이더 기반인 MAPLE, KONOS, 공간규모분할 예측강우와 수치예보모델 기반인 UM와 ASAPS의 예측강우이며, 제시한 가중치 산정기법은 직전 예측강우의 오차가 현 시점의 예측강우의 오차와 유사하다는 가정하에 오차항을 포함한 과거 1시간 예측강우들간의 가중치 조합이 과거 지상관측강우와의 평균제곱근오차가 최소가 되도록 화음 탐색법을 이용하여 찾는 것이다. 가중치 조합은 예측강우의 생산 시간 간격을 고려하여 매 10분마다 산정하며, 미래 3시간 예측까지 산정된 가중치를 적용한다. 수도권 영역을 대상으로 병합된 예측강우와 레이더 관측강우를 비교한 결과, 정량적 정확도가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 예측강우의 수문학적 활용성은 도시유출해석모의를 통해 평가하였다. 그 결과, 병합된 예측강우로 모의된 수심이 관측수심과 유사하여 수문학적 활용성 확인할 수 있었다.

기후변화로 인한 홍수, 가뭄 등의 자연재해가 빈번히 발생함에 따라서, 수자원의 변동성이 심각해짐에 따라서 물 부족에 대한 관심이 대두되고 있다. 특히, 수문분야에서 수자원의 확보 및 효율적 관리에 대한 중요성 및 관심이 높아지고는 있으나, 물 순환에 대한 이해 및 분석에 대한 부분은 아직 계속적으로 연구할 필요성이 있다. 물 순환에서 다른 수문기상인자들에 비해 직접적인 관측이 어려운 실제증발산은 단순 가정 및 경험식, 또는 물수지 방정식을 통해 어림되어 계산되어 진다. 지상에서 실제증발산을 관측하기 위해 에디 공분산 기반의 플럭스 타워(flux tower)를 이용하여 한 지역(지점)에서의 정량적인 관측이 이뤄지고 있으나, 공간적인 관측은 이뤄지고 있지 않는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 기술이 발전함에 따라 다양한 물리식 기반의 재분석자료(reanalysis data)/인공위성(satellite)기반의 실제증발산에 대한 자료가 산출되어진다. 그렇지만, 다양한 물리식 기반으로 산출되는 결과는 알고리즘의 특성상 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 방법을 해결하기 위하여 다양한 합성 방법을 이용하여 각 알고리즘에서 오차를 보정 및 개선한 최적의 실제증발산 결과를 필요로 하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 재분석/인공위성 기반의 8일 단위 실제증발산 자료를 활용하여 두 가지의 합성 방법(simple taylor skill score, maximize r)을 이용하여 개선된 실제증발산 결과를 산출하기 위하여, 2005년부터 2014년까지의 호주에서의 실제증발산에 대한 합성 결과를 나타내었다. 전반적으로 두 방법으로 산정된 결과는 기존의 결과에 비해 오차가 상당히 개선된 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 특히, 다양한 자료를 이용하여 합성하는 방법인 simple taylor skill score방법이 maximize r의 방법에 비해 보다 오차 및 상관성이 높은 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 합성 방법을 이용하여 기존의 자료에 비해서 개선된 결과를 산정할 수 있는 것을 확인하였고, 향후 가뭄에 직접적으로 연관성을 가진 합성 증발산 자료를 활용하여 가뭄 분석의 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
