올레핀/파라핀 분리를 위해 silver nanoparticle을 운반체로 이용하는 촉진수송막이 최근 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 기존 연구에서는 silver nanoparticle의 전구체로서 AgBF4가 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 상대적으로 고가에 속하는 AgBF4는 상업화에 적합하지 않기 때문에 비교적 저렴한 AgClO4를 전구체로 이용해 제조된 silver nanopaticle를 활용해서 PEBAX-5513/AgNPs (전구체: AgClO4)/7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) 복합막이 제조되었다. 그러나 여러 조성의 복합막이 제조되었으 나 올레핀 분리성능은 관찰되지 않았다. FT-IR 분석 결과는 PEBAX-5513 고분자 내에서 silver nanoparticle이 형성되고 TCNQ에 의해 표면이 양극성화 되는 것을 확인하였지만 형성된 silver nanoparticle이 안정화 되지 못한 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과들을 통해 은염 전구체의 음이온이 올레핀/파라핀 분리막에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단되었다.

철도침목은 일반적으로 목재 및 콘크리트 침목을 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 목침목은 수분과 충해등으로 인해 썩기 쉽다. 게다가 짧은 수명으로 인해 교체를 자주해줘야 하지만 자원고갈로 인한 공급의 어려움이 있다. 콘크리트 침목은 중량이 무거워 시공장소에 제한이 있고 운반이 어려운 단점을 갖고 있다. 또한 균열발생이나 파손이 일어났을 때 소음이 발생하고 심한 진동으로 인해 레일의 수용저하등의 문제가 있다. 그러므로 이번 연구에서는 전통적으로 사용하던 목재 및 콘트리트 침목을 대신할 합성침목을 개발하는 것이다. 합성침목의 주원료는 폴리올과 이소시아네이트로 구성된 폴리우레탄이다. 폴리우레탄을 수지로 사용하게 되면 강도가 약해 이를 보완해야 하는데 현재까지는 유리섬유나 석탄재와 같은 원료를 사용하였다. 유리섬유 는 인체에 유해하고 침목의 폐기 시 자연에서 분해되지 않은 단점이 있으므로 이 연구에서는 자연에서 분해될 수 있는 천연보 강재를 사용하여 기계적 물성은 유지하면서 가공성 및 경제성이 우수한 합성수지 침목을 개발하는 실험을 진행하였다.

The present study identified several antecedents that create perceived resistance to supply chain management (SCM) change. This work particularly emphasizes SCM change, which is notable given its central role in reacting market orientation and varied environmental and managerial conditions. A careful case study on a small and medium sized food production company in South Korea leads to the formulation of our framework including one second-order construct of ‘resistance’ as well as eight first-order constructs of ‘implementing the payment terms’, ‘balancing of business process’, ‘fear of responsibility’, ‘business sustainability transparency’, ‘past experience of failure’, ‘competence of work personnel’, ‘cooperation with third parties’ and ‘sharing personnel information with partner’. The hypothesized relation of first- and second-order construct was validated using survey sample data collected from 350 respondents who completed their questionnaire instrument. Results from confirmatory factor analysis revealed that nomological validity was established at statistical significance level by identifying six first order constructs of ‘implementing the payment terms’, ‘fear of responsibility’, ‘business sustainability transparency’, ‘past experience of failure’, a conbined construct of 'competence of work personnel/ cooperation with third parties’ and ‘sharing personnel information with partner’. The findings from our work are expected to provide important insights to the strategy for SCM risk management for small and medium sized company.

This study is to develop a diagnostic model for the effective introduction of smart factories in the manufacturing industry, to diagnose SMEs that have difficulties in building their own smart factory compared to large enterprise, to identify the current level and to present directions for implementation. IT, AT, and OT experts diagnosed 18 SMEs using the "Smart Factory Capacity Diagnosis Tool" developed for smart factory level assessment of companies. They analyzed the results and assessed the level by smart factory diagnosis categories. Companies' smart factory diagnostic mean score is 322 out of 1000 points, between 1 level (check) and 2 level (monitoring). According to diagnosis category, Factory Field Basic, R&D, Production/Logistics/Quality Control, Supply Chain Management and Reference Information Standardization are high but Strategy, Facility Automation, Equipment Control, Data/Information System and Effect Analysis are low. There was little difference in smart factory level depending on whether IT system was built or not. Also, Companies with large sales amount were not necessarily advantageous to smart factories. This study will help SMEs who are interested in smart factory. In order to build smart factory, it is necessary to analyze the market trends, SW/ICT and establish a smart factory strategy suitable for the company considering the characteristics of industry and business environment.

The purpose of this study was to develop high quality dark film honeycomb fabric curtains. The results of producing the prototype for various color tone development, hot melt viscosity, and adhesiveness test for the final prototype were as follows. The hexagonal honeycomb structure is easy to manufacture, has a good coupling force, and has a dark honeycomb fabric curtain. The hot melt condition was obtained with 540g of hot melt and 1.5kg of diluent, 242.3cp, and the curing result was obtained at 140°C. Seven different colors were developed using yellow, red, blue, and white four primary colors. The adhesive force test device was designed to enable more than 5,000 real tests by the automatic opening and closing device for the convenience of the field workers. The size of the test sample was designed to be 1,000mm × 1,200mm. As a result of designing and manufacturing the prototype to attach the monitor and the control device to automatically count, the prototype was made to be measured 10,000 times. The combined force of the honeycomb fabric curtain was maintained after 5,000 tests on the manufactured rock film honeycomb fabric curtain.

Damping and sound absorption not only reduce environmental pollution caused by vibration and noise, but also improves processing accuracy, resolution of precision measuring instruments and fatigue life of machine parts in various precision machines. The vibration-damping plate is largely divided into a constrained type in which the resin is confined by a plate and a non-constrained type in which a plate is made of a polymer material mainly composed of polymer. The external vibration energy is absorbed by the thermal energy required for friction, stretching and compression of resin, so that the noise and vibration generated by resonance are reduced. The vibration damping ability of the sandwich plate produced in this study was found to be somewhat superior, which may be due to the difference in adhesive force during the manufacture of the sandwich plate. In the experimental results, it was confirmed that the sandwich plate material is superior to the vibration damping ability than the 5182 aluminum single plate material, it can be seen that the sandwich plate is effective for vibration damping of the aluminum alloy plate material.

Zn-ion supercapacitors (ZICs) show high energy densities with long cycling life for use in electronic devices. Porous Zn electrodes as anodes for ZICs are fabricated by chemical etching process using optimized conditions. The structures, morphologies, chemical bonding states, porous structure, and electrochemical behavior are examined. The optimized porous Zn electrode shows a root mean square of roughness of 173 nm and high surface area of 153 μm2. As a result, ZIC using the optimized porous Zn electrode presents excellent electrochemical performance with high specific capacitance of 399 F g−1 at current density of 0.5 A g−1, high-rate performance (79 F g−1 at a current density of 10.0 A g−1), and outstanding cycling stability (99 % after 1,500 cycles). The development of energy storage performance using synergistic effects of high roughness and high surface area is due to increased electroactive sites by surface functionalization of Zn electrode. Thus, our strategy will lead to a rational design and contribute to next-generation supercapacitors in the near future.

여러 규모의 가정간편식 제조업체를 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 업체의 식품안전문화를 수행 정도와 각 업체들이 식품안전문화 요소들에 대해 인식하는 중요도를 조사 하고, 식품안전문화 측정요소들이 HACCP 선행요건프로그램을 수행하는데 미치는 영향 수준을 분석하였다. 식품 안전문화의 측정은 기업문화, 경영진의 의지, 교육·훈련 및 종업원의 참여 등 식품안전문화의 5개 요소를 지표로 평가하였다. 식품안전문화 요소가 HACCP 선행요건프로그램의 수행도에 미치는 영향은 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 실시하여 분석하였다. 식품안전문화 요소의 수행도는 기업문화, 종업원의 참여 부분에서는 업체 규모에 따른 유의적 차이가 나타나지 않았으나(p>0.05) 경영진의 의지, 자원의 투입, 교육·훈련의 경우 대규모업체에서 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높았다. 한편 기업의 문화는 대규모업체에서는 중요도가 높다고 인식하고 있었으나 소규모업체에서 중요성에 대한 인식도가 매우 낮아 업체 규모에 따른 인식도의 불균형을 보여주었다. 식품안전문화 요소들이 기업의 HACCP 선행 요건프로그램의 수행도에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 ‘종업원의 교육·훈련’이 HACCP 수행도에 통계적으로 유의하게(p=0.043) 영향을 미치는 식품안전문화 요소로 나타나 HACCP 내실을 기하기 위해서는 종업원들에 대한 교육· 훈련이 매우 중요함을 시사하였다.

To meet the current demand in the fields of permanent magnets for achieving a high energy density, it is imperative to prepare nano-to-microscale rare-earth-based magnets with well-defined microstructures, controlled homogeneity, and magnetic characteristics via a bottom-up approach. Here, on the basis of a microstructural study and qualitative magnetic measurements, optimized reduction conditions for the preparation of nanostructured Sm-Co magnets are proposed, and the elucidation of the reduction-diffusion behavior in the binary phase system is clearly manifested. In addition, we have investigated the microstructural, crystallographic, and magnetic properties of the Sm-Co magnets prepared under different reduction conditions, that is, H2 gas, calcium, and calcium hydride. This work provides a potential approach to prepare high-quality Sm-Co-based nanofibers, and moreover, it can be extended to the experimental design of other magnetic alloys.

This study examines the changes in chlorogenic acid (CGA), an antioxidant, and one of its decomposition substances, caffeic acid, at various roasting stages and extraction conditions. Based on the CGA content for each roasting stage, at 3℃ after the beginning of the 1st crack, the CGA decreased for washed beans and natural beans by more than 50% compared to that of green coffees. The CGA continued to decrease sharply by more than 75% at the end of the 1st crack for washed beans and at 5℃ after the end of the 1st crack for natural beans. At the peak of the 2nd crack, it had decreased by more than 90% for both beans. The Caffeic acid content gradually increased for both washed and natural beans, then rapidly increased from the beginning of the 2nd crack to the peak of the 2nd crack. However, its contents were very small in quantity. Additionally, the content of CGAs for differing extraction conditions were in the order of 3-CGA, Crypto-CGA, and Neo-CGA. Crypto-CGA content was about half that of 3-CGA and Neo-CGA content was approximately 100 ppm less than that of Crypto-CGA. This study was conducted in order to help make coffee that has the most antioxidant effect.

Nb-Si-B alloys with Nb-rich compositions are fabricated by spark plasma sintering for high-temperature structural applications. Three compositions are selected: 75 at% Nb (Nb0.7), 82 at% Nb (Nb1.5), and 88 at% Nb (Nb3), the atomic ratio of Si to B being 2. The microstructures of the prepared alloys are composed of Nb and T2 phases. The T2 phase is an intermetallic compound with a stoichiometry of Nb5Si3-xBx (0 ≤ x ≤ 2). In some previous studies, Nb-Si- B alloys have been prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using Nb and T2 powders (SPS 1). In the present work, the same alloys are prepared by the SPS process (SPS 2) using Nb powders and hypereutectic alloy powders with composition 67at%Nb-22at%Si-11at%B (Nb67). The Nb67 alloy powders comprise T2 and eutectic (T2 + Nb) phases. The microstructures and hardness of the samples prepared in the present work have been compared with those previously reported; the samples prepared in this study exhibit finer and more uniform microstructures and higher hardness.

TiO2-particles containing Co grains are fabricated via thermal hydrogenation and selective oxidation of Ti- Co alloy. For comparison, TiO2-Co composite powders are prepared by two kinds of methods which were the mechanical carbonization and oxidation process, and the conventional mixing process. The microstructural characteristics of the prepared composites are analyzed by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scattering electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the composite powders are sintered at 800℃ by spark plasma sintering. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the sintered samples prepared by thermal hydrogenation and mechanical carbonization are found to be higher than those of the samples prepared by the conventional mixing process. Moreover, the microstructures of sintered samples prepared by thermal hydrogenation and mechanical carbonization processes are found to be similar. The difference in the mechanical properties of sintered samples prepared by thermal hydrogenation and mechanical carbonization processes is attributed to the different sizes of metallic Co particles in the samples.
