우리나라에서 공용중인 시설물은 총 172,111개로 집계되고 있으며, 그 중 교량은 34,199개로 사회 기반시설 중 가장 많은 비중을 차지한다. 이러한 교량은 공용하중, 온도, 습도 등에 의해 거더간 신축 량이 발생하게 되고 신축량 발생으로 인한 유간거리에 대해 차량의 통행 안정성 및 주행성 확보를 위 한 신축이음장치를 설치하게 된다. 신축이음장치를 설치하여 차량의 통행 안정성 및 주행성을 확보할 수 있지만 누수 및 퇴적물 낙하 등을 직접적으로 방지하지 못하여 고무지수재를 별도로 설치하게 된 다. 하지만 이러한 고무지수재는 다양한 원인에 의해 쉽게 손상이 발생한다. 손상된 고무지수재를 통 해 거더의 부식, 교량하부 인명사고 등 다양한 2차 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 피해방지를 위한 교량의 유지관리를 지속적으로 수행하고 있지만 고무지수재 특성상 지속적인 교체가 불가피한 실정이다. 따라 서 본 연구에서는 기존 신축이음장치에 활용되는 고무지수재의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 초탄성 형 상기억합금을 활용한 새로운 지수재 개발 연구를 수행하였다. 이에 대해 초탄성 형상기억합금 지수재 와 고무지수재에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하고 비교 및 분석하였으며, 하중 제거 후 원형으로 복원되 는 효과를 통해 지속 사용 가능한 지수재 연구를 검증하였다.

탄소섬유 강화 플라스틱 (Carbon fiber reinforced plastics, CFRP)은 고함량의 탄소섬유 (Carbon fiber, CF)와 고분자로 이루어진 복합재료로서, 뛰어난 기계적 성능으로 항공우주, 자동차, 토목 등 다 양한 산업 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 하지만 사용량 증가에 따른 폐기물의 환경문제와 추출한 재활용 탄소섬유 (Recycled carbon fiber, rCF)의 적용 가능 분야의 한계로 인해 재활용이 제한적인 실정이 다. 본 연구에서는 rCF와 CF 혼입 시멘트계 전자파 복합재를 제작하여 그 성능을 비교 분석하기 위 한 실험을 수행하였다. 구성재료는 시멘트, 잔골재, 고성능 감수제를 사용하였으며, 비교 분석을 위해 CF와 rCF를 각각 6 mm, 12 mm 길이를 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 wt.% 함량으로 사용하였다. 전자파 복합 재의 흡수 성능 향상을 위해 각각 다른 함량의 다층 구조를 형성하였으며, 전자파 투과를 낮은 함량에 서 높은 함량 방향이 되도록 측정을 진행하였다. 전자파 차폐성능은 재령 28일 이후 네트워크 분석기 를 사용하여 자유 공간에서 측정하였으며, C-band (4~8 GHz)와 X-band (8~12 GHz) 주파수 영역 에서의 반사율과 투과율을 각각 측정하였다.

CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer)는 강재 대비 약 4배의 강도와 25% 수준의 경량성을 보 유한 신소재 복합재료이며, 부식과 같은 화학적 반응에 대한 저항성이 우수하다. 이러한 특징으로 인 해 전 세계적으로 부식에 취약한 철근의 대체재로써 연구가 활발하게 진행 중이다. 국내에서 적용되고 있는 CFPR 보강재에 대한 성능 평가의 경우, 재료의 단편적인 물성치 조사를 통한 단기 성능 평가(인 장 등)에 초점을 두고 수행되고 있어, 보강된 RC(Reinforced Concrete) 구조물 내 장기 거동 특성(피 로 등)이 반영된 CFRP 보강재 자체의 성능 검증이나 품질 기준이 전무한 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연 구에서는 기존의 단기 성능 평가 방법의 한계를 극복하고자 선행 연구를 바탕으로 건설 산업 분야에 서 상용화된 건설용 CFRP의 장기 거동 특성을 규명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 RC 구조물 내 ‧ 외부에 보강된 CFRP 보강재의 실제 하중 환경을 모사하기 위해 ASTM D7772 및 D6272를 바 탕으로 4점 휨 시험 기반 휨-인장 피로 시험 장비를 개발하였으며, 섬유 함침율이 50%인 CFRP 시편 을 대상으로 3, 5, 7, 9mm의 변위 하중을 고려하여 보강재의 장기 거동 분석 및 피로 성능 한계 곡 선(r-N curve)을 구성하였다. FRP의 피로 거동은 유효 응력이 감소하다 일정 수준에서 일정하게 유지 된다는 특징을 보인다. 따라서 선행 연구를 참고하여 CFRP 시편의 피로 파괴를 초기 응력이 80% 감 소된 시점으로 정의하여 피로 시험을 시행하였다. 시험 결과, CFRP 보강재의 피로 거동은 하중이 급 격하게 감소하는 영역(영역 I), 변곡점 이후 감소가 미미한 영역(영역 II), 변곡점 이후 감소가 미미한 영역(영역 III)으로 구분되었다. 평균적으로 약 105 사이클까지 영역 I를 보였으며, 이후 영역 II와 영역 III가 순차적으로 나타남을 확인하였다. 이러한 시험 결과를 바탕으로 r-N curve를 구성하였으며, 이 를 기준으로 상용 CFRP 보강재의 피로 성능 합불 여부를 평가할 수 있다.

Recently, the demand for shape memory alloys in the biomedical industry is increasing. Nitinol alloy, which accounts for most of the shape memory alloy market, occupies most of the biomedical field. Nitinol for biomaterials requires a clean surface without sub-micron surface integrity and surface defects in order to be used more safely in a living body. Among them, new technologies such as polishing using MR fluid are being studied, but there is a disadvantage in that it takes a long time for processing due to a low material removal rate. In this study, material removal studies were conducted for effective polishing, and excellent polishing properties of MR fluid were confirmed.

The tensile specimen tests were carried out in two speed; 2mm/s and 4mm/s, and the obtained stress to strain curve was converted to the analysis material card of true stress to true strain curve to be used in the seat structural analysis. The constructed analysis material card was used in the specimen tensile finite element analysis, and the analysis result was able to obtain the stress to strain curve similar to the test result.

최근 인접국가인 일본에서 규모 7.6의 지진이 발생하였다. 이 지진은 대규모의 최초 지진 이후 120회 이상의 여진을 동반하여 지진의 위험성이 두각되었다. 실제로 구조물들은 최초 지진이후 항복하여 지속되는 여진에 의해서도 붕괴될 위험이 있기 때문에 지진 저항력을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동복원이 가능한 신소재를 활용하여 지진에 의한 피해를 감소시키면서도 댐퍼와 구조물에 발생되는 잔류변위를 회복시킬 수 있는 자동복원 신소재 댐퍼를 제안한다. 이 댐퍼는 초탄성 형상기억합금과 폴리우레탄으로 구성되며 폴리우레탄에는 선행압축이 적용되어 그로 인한 반발력을 통해 회복특성을 증진시킨 다. 이에 대한 성능을 평가하기 위해 구조실험과 구조실험에 대한 수치해석을 진행하여 댐퍼의 회복특성, 하중특성을 확인하였 다. 또한, OpenSEES프로그램을 활용하여 구조물에 댐퍼를 적용시키고 실제 지진환경에 대한 수치해석을 수행함으로써 지붕변 위, 밑면 전단력 등의 응답을 구하여 자동복원 신소재 댐퍼의 우수성을 검증하였다. 이를 통해 자동복원 신소재 댐퍼를 구조물 에 적용하게 되면 국내 역대 지진 중 가장 규모가 큰 지진이 다시 발생하여도 구조물을 다시 회복할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 기존 (불)투과형 사방댐의 부식 및 시공성 등의 문제를 보완하고자 GFRP와 CFRP를 사용하여 내부식성 투과형 사방댐을 설계한 선행연구의 후속 연구로써 FRP로 제작된 격자형 사방 구조물(Grid)을 설계하여 탈부착이 가능한 투과 형 사방댐을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구이다. 이를 위해 탄소산업진흥원(K-Carbon)의 상용 Grid 제원을 인용하였으며, Grid를 구성 하는 띠(Strip)는 41×21개로 총 4000×2000×1.5 mm의 크기로 설계하였다. Grid의 개발을 위한 기초 연구라는 특성상 Grid의 지지 부(Slot)와 충진재는 파괴되지 않는다고 가정하였으며, FRP의 파괴 이론인 Hashin Damage Criteria에 따라 Grid의 설계하중 작용 시의 안전성을 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS로 평가하였다. 그 결과, 0.01~0.03sec 내에서 GFRP와 CFRP Grid가 파괴 되었으며, 이는 Grid의 성능이 충분하지 못함을 의미한다. 이에 따라 Grid의 성능 향상을 위해서 GFRP 및 CFRP(면재)와 Balsa Wood(심재)로 구성된 Sandwich Grid를 개발하였으며, 동일 조건에서 해석을 수행한 결과, Grid 대비 Sandwich Grid가 약 126~140 배 뛰어난 성능을 보였다. 결론적으로 Sandwich Grid를 이용한 탈착형 사방댐은 내구성 및 경제성 측면에서 이점이 분명하다 판 단되지만, 이는 일부 가정 사항과 수치 해석을 기반으로 하는 결과이므로 향후 추가 연구가 수행되어야 할 필요가 있다.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are promising materials for the construction of energy devices, particularly organic solar cells. In the electrospinning process, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) has been utilized to generate nanofibers, which is the simplest and most popular method of creating carbon nanofibers (CNFs) followed by carbonization. The CNFs are coated on stainless steel (SS) plates and involve an electropolymerization process. The prepared Cu, CNF, CNF–Cu, PANI, PANI–Cu, CNF–PANI, and CNF–PANI–Cu electrode materials’ electrical conductivity was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte solution. Compared to others, the CNF–PANI–Cu electrode has higher conductivity that range is 3.0 mA. Moreover, the PANI, CNF–PANI, and CNF–PANI–Cu are coated on FTO plates and characterized for their optical properties (absorbance, transmittance, and emission) and electrical properties (CV and Impedance) for organic solar cell application. The functional groups, and morphology-average roughness of the electrode materials found by FT–IR, XRD, XPS, SEM, and TGA exhibit a strong correlation with each other. Finally, the electrode materials that have been characterized serve to support and act as the nature of the hole transport for organic solar cells.

In this research, reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole (rGO/PPy) particles were synthesized and used to measure the amount of dopamine (DA) electrochemically. The obtained rGO/PPy particle was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR), UV–Visible Spectrophotometer (UV–Vis), and X-Ray Diffraction Diffractometry (XRD). To investigate the DA sensor performance, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to acquire electrochemical measurements of the sensor. Current values of 1.65 and 5.9 mA were observed in the CV at 0.2 mM and 1.2 mM concentrations of target molecule, respectively. Under optimized conditions, the linear calibration plots were found to exhibit significant sensitivity in the linear range of 0.2 and 1.2 mM, with a corresponding detection limit of 0.061 μM for DA. The results obtained were similar to the sensor results of DA made using precious metals. This work was a demonstration of the feasibility of high-sensitivity electrochemical analysis with conductive carbon materials without the use of precious metals. It was also observed that the cost-effective rGO/PPy exhibited a very high potential for DA detection.

Energy storage for sustainable development and progress of power production industries is vitally important. The energy storage devices are under extensive research from last three decades to ensure the hand-on-hand coordination with power supply phenomenon and to reduce the energy loses in lines. The cost-effective materials are still highly demanding as an electrode material for energy storage devices. Biomass-derived carbon materials are best candidates due to their low cost, relatively high abundance, pollution-free nature. Here, we are reporting a facile two-step green approach to convert Himalayan horse chestnuts (HHCNs) into activated carbon materials. In first step, grinding and pyrolysis of the HHCNs were carried out, and then activation was performed using KOH to enhance the pore density and surface area. HHCNs-derived carbon was utilized as an electrode in electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) with 1 M H2SO4 as an electrolyte. The macroporous structure along with hierarchical porous network acts as an efficient source of transportation of charges across the electrode and separator. Cyclic voltammetry test was taken from 10 to 100 mV/s current and within a range of 0–1 V applied potential; approximately rectangular CV shown mirror response towards current and shown typical EDLCs properties. The proximate analysis confirms the presence of heteroatoms like sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen which act as carbon dopants. The wettability of HHCNs-derived carbon enhanced due to the various types of oxygen functionalities inherited from the lignin skeletal part. The nitrogen content is primarily responsible for the pseudo-capacitive behavior of HHCNs-codoped carbon. HHCNs-derived activated carbon materials has emerged as a promising electrode material for energy storage applications.

The lithium ion battery has applied to various fields of energy storage systems such as electric vehicle and potable electronic devices in terms of high energy density and long-life cycle. Despite of various research on the electrode and electrolyte materials, there is a lack of research for investigating of the binding materials to replace polymer based binder. In this study, we have investigated petroleum pitch/polymer composite with various ratios between petroleum pitch and polymer in order to optimize the electrochemical and physical performance of the lithium-ion battery based on petroleum pitch/polymer composite binder. The electrochemical and physical performances of the petroleum pitch/polymer composite binder based lithium-ion battery were evaluated by using a charge/discharge test, cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and universal testing machine (UTM). As a result, the petroleum pitch(MP-50)/polymer(PVDF) composite (5:5 wt % ratio) binder based lithium-ion battery showed 1.29 gf mm-1 of adhesion strength with 144 mAh g-1 of specific dis-charge capacity and 93.1 % of initial coulombic efficiency(ICE) value.

Abstract Purpose : This study analyzed physical properties using 1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) as an additive to improve functionality of hydrogel lens such as durability. It was checked whether HDDA can be applied as a crosslinking agent in place of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). Methods : Polymerization used thermal polymerization and photopolymerization methods, and HDDA was added to each polymerization method at a ratio of 1∼20%. Optical and physical characteristics of the manufactured lens were evaluated by measuring spectral transmittance, refractive index, water content, tensile strength, contact angle, and AFM. Results : Regardless of the polymerization method, the tensile strength ranged from 0.232~0.408 kgf/mm2 in thermal polymerization and from 0.146~0.429 kgf/mm2 depending on the addition ratio of HDDA. In addition, as a result of using HDDA instead of EGDMA, it was confirmed that the physical characteristics of the lens were similar to that of EGDMA, and in the case of tensile strength, HDDA was much improved. Conclusion : HDDA has been shown to be effective in improving the functionality of hydrogel lens and to improve stability and durability. In addition, it is believed that it can be used in various ways as an ophthalmic material as well as a photopolymerization crosslinking agent. Key words : Crosslinking agent, Tensile strength, 1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate, Hydrogel lens

PURPOSES : The wedge-type anchorage system requires a complex analysis of not only the tensile stress of the CFRP plate, but also the compressive stress and shear stress generated by the wedge action. The purpose of this study is to find a composite material failure theory that is suitable for analyzing the behavior of wedge-type anchorage system among various failure theories. METHODS : In this study, numerical analysis of various composite material failure theories was performed to analyze the anchorage strength and failure mode of the wedge-type anchorage system according to each failure theory, and compared with actual test results to determine the composite material failure theory most suitable for analyzing the behavior of a wedge-type anchorage system. RESULTS : Since the Maximum Stress failure theory shows similar results to the actual test in terms of failure mode and anchorage strength, there is no significant problem in applying it to the wedge-type anchorage system. However, it is judged to be difficult to apply under property conditions where interactions between stresses are highlighted. The Tsai-Hill and Tsai-Wu failure theories are considered unsuitable for application to wedge-type anchorage systems because the wedge angle conditions at which the most advantageous anchorage strength occurs are significantly different from other theories and the fracture type cannot be predicted. The Hashin-Rotem failure theory is considered to be the most appropriate to apply as a failure theory for the wedge-shaped anchorage system because the anchorage strength was slightly lower than the actual test results, but there was no significant difference, and the failure mode was consistent with the test results. The Hashin failure theory is judged to be unsuitable for application as a failure theory for the wedge-type anchorage system because the anchorage strength and failure mode were interpreted differently from the actual test results. CONCLUSIONS : The Hashin-Rotem failure theory was presented as the composite material failure theory most suitable for analyzing the behavior of wedge-type anchorage system.

Protein is an essential nutrient for humans to sustain life, but it is predicted that it will be challenging to secure protein through the traditional livestock industry in the future. Microalgae has high future value as an alternative protein food source due to resource utilization and sustainability advantages. In order to increase productivity, the culture conditions of microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris, Dunaliella salina, and Scenedesmus obliquus were examined in this study. The optimal culture conditions of C. vulgaris were mixotrophic culture, 25oC culture temperature, 7.0 initial pH, 10% initial inoculation, stirring culture, 3000 Lux light intensity, and 24L:0D light/dark cycle period with red LED. For D. salina, the optimal culture conditions were mixotrophic culture, 20oC culture temperature, 8.0 initial pH, 10% initial inoculation, stirring culture, 6000 Lux light intensity, and 12L:12D light/dark cycle period with white LED. For S. obliquus, the optimal culture conditions were mixotrophic culture, 30oC culture temperature, 8.0 initial pH, 10% initial inoculation, stirring culture, 4500 Lux light intensity, and 14L:10D light/dark cycle period with fluorescent light. These findings can be used as important information for increasing the production of microalgae as an alternative protein material resource in the future.
