The properties of 18 K red gold solder alloys were investigated by changing the content of In up to 10.0 wt% in order to replace the hazardous Cd element. Cupellation and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to check the composition of each alloy, and FE-SEM and UV-VIS-NIR-Colormeter were employed for microstructure and color characterization. The melting temperature, hardness, and wetting angle of the samples were determined by TGA-DTA, the Vickers hardness tester, and the Wetting angle tester. The cupellation result confirmed that all the samples had 18K above 75.0wt%-Au. EDS results showed that Cu and In elements were alloyed with the intended composition without segregation. The microstructure results showed that the amount of In increased, and the grain size became smaller. The color analysis revealed that the proposed solders up to 10.0 wt% In showed a color similar to the reference 18 K substrate like the 10.0 wt% Cd solder with a color difference of less than 7.50. TGA-DTA results confirmed that when more than 5.0 wt% of In was added, the melting temperature decreased enough for the soldering process. The Vickers hardness result revealed that more than 5.0 wt% In solder alloys had greater hardness than 10.0 wt% Cd solder, which suggested that it was more favorable in making a wire type solder. Moreover, all the In solders showed a lower wetting angle than the 10.0 wt% Cd solder. Our results suggested that the In alloyed 18 K red gold solders might replace the conventional 10.0 wt% Cd solder with appropriate properties for red gold jewelry soldering.

산업이 발전함에 따라 전 세계적으로 환경오염에 대한 문제가 대두되고 있으며, 자동차 배출가스 규제도 점점 강화되고 있다. 하지만, 배출가스는 단순한 자동차만의 문제가 아닌 연료물성성분에 따른 영향도 받는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 특히, 디젤엔진의 경우 CRDI 엔진이 개발 및 상용화되면서 고성능 엔진은 고성능 연료를 필요로 하고, 그 중 대표적인 것이 연료의 윤활성으로 밝혀진바, 이에 본 연구에서는 연료물성변화가 자동차 주요부품 및 배출가스에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 윤활성이 취약한 연료 (651㎛/품질기준 400㎛이하)를 차량에 사용하여 고압펌프 및 인젝터, 매연저감장치 등의 파손이 발생하며, 매연 및 배출가스, 연비가 악화되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 파손된 매연저감장치(DPF)를 확인한 결과 철분성분이 다량 검출되었으며 이는 연료에 철분성분이 많이 함유되어 있어, 배출가스에 영향을 미쳐 매연저 감장치(DPF)의 처리능력을 초과한 입자상물질의 배출로 인한 파손으로 추정 및 확인하였다.

현미는 백미에 비해서 비타민 및 미네랄 등의 영양소가 많다는 장점을 가지고 있는 곡물이다. 초록통곡은 호숙기에 수확하여 증숙하는 과정을 거쳐 생산하는 초록색을 띠는 현미로 일반 현미보다 단백질 무기질, 그리고 식이섬유 등의 함유량이 더 풍부한 곡물이다. 그러나 이가 약한 고령자들의 경우 단단하고 거친 식감 때문에 섭취가 힘들다는 문제가 있다. 본 연구는 저작기능이 저하된 고령자들의 섭취 편의를 위해 효소처리에 의한 초록통쌀의 물성조절과 물리적 특성 변화를 비교, 분석하였다. 2가지 품종(삼광, 추청) 초록통쌀과 완숙현미의 흡습율과 가수비율에 따른 경도 변화를 분석하였다. 효소 6가지를 보온 70°C에서 1시간동안 처리하였으며 취사된 밥을 -18°C에서 1시간 1차냉각 후 20°C 에서 1시간 2차 냉각을 진행한 후 물성을 측정하였다. 최적농도 설정을 위해 효소 농도조건(0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9%) 처리에 따른 물성차이를 비교하였다. 초록삼광, 초록추청, 완숙삼광, 완숙추청의 초기 수분함량은 각각 14.6, 15.1, 14.2, 11.8%이었고, 실온 4시간 및 보온 70°C에서 1시간동안 침지하였을 때 24.7, 23.8, 27.8, 30.9%로 완숙현미가 더 높은 흡습율을 나타냈다. 낮은 가수비율에서는 취반이 제대로 되지 않았고, 높은 가수비율에서는 죽 형태가 되어, 초록통쌀과 완숙현미 모두 3:1이 적정 가수비율이었고 경도는 5.4 x 104, 5.8 x 104, 5.9 x 104, 5.9 x 104 N/m2으로 나타났다. 초록통쌀은 셀룰라아제 계열의 효소C를 처리하였을 때 4.2 x 104, 4.8 x 104 N/m2로 가장 낮은 경도 값을 나타냈고 응집성과 점착성은 감소하였다. 완숙현미는 아밀라아제 계열의 효소 A를 처리하였을 때 5.2 x 104, 5.2 x 104 N/m2로 가장 낮은 경도 값을 보였고 점착성은 감소하였으나 응집성은 차이를 보이지 않았다. 효소 농도에 따른 초록추청의 경도는 5.2 x 104, 4.8 x 104, 4.7 x 104N/m2, 4.9 x 104 N/m2로 0.3% 이상에서는 경도차이를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 일반 현미와 달리 초록통쌀은 셀룰라아제 계열의 효소를 처리하여 경도가 조절된 제품을 제조하는 것이 가능함을 보여주었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of gelatin concentration and storage on color and texture of puffer fish stock jelly. Puffer fish stock jelly was prepared by adding various amounts (2.5~10 percent) of gelatin to puffer fish stock. Color changes of puffer fish sstock jelly were also investigated during storage at 4℃ and 25℃ with varying amount of gelatin (2.5~10.0 percent). Regardless of storage temperature, the L values of puffer fish stock jelly were slightly increased, while a values of the stock jelly were negatively decreased during storage. However, L and negative b values were decreased with increasing gelatin concentration, whereas a values were increased negatively with increasing gelatin concentration. The texture profiles of puffer fish stock jelly such as hardness, springiness, cohesiveness adhesiveness, chewiness and brittleness were determined during storage at 25℃ and 4℃ at various intervals. The hardness, chewiness and brittleness were increased during storage at 25℃ for four days, while those of springiness and cohesiveness were decreased during storage. However, the values of all textural parameters were increased with increasing gelatin concentration in puffer fish stock jelly. Patterns of textural parameters of puffer fish stock jelly stored at 4℃ were practically identical to those stored at 25℃.

In order to replace 14K white gold alloys, the properties of 5K white gold alloys (Au20-Ag80) were investigated by changing the contents of In (0.0-10.0 wt%). Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine the precise content of alloys. Properties of the alloys such as hardness, melting point, color difference, and corrosion resistance were determined using Vickers Hardness test, TGA-DTA, UV-VIS-NIR-colorimetry, and salt-spray tests, respectively. Wetting angle analysis was performed to determine the wettability of the alloys on plaster. The results of the EDS analysis confirmed that the Au-Ag-In alloys had been fabricated with the intended composition. The results of the Vickers hardness test revealed that each Au-Ag-In alloy had higher mechanical hardness than that of 14K white gold. TGA-DTA analysis showed that the melting point decreased with an increase in the In content. In particular, the alloy containing 10.0 wt% In showed a lower melting temperature (> 70 °C) than the other alloys, which implied that alloys containing 10.0 wt% In can be used as soldering materials for Au-Ag-In alloys. Color difference analysis also revealed that all the Au-Ag-In alloys showed a color difference of less than 6.51 with respect to 14K white gold, which implied a white metallic color. A 72-h salt-spray test confirmed that the Au-Ag- In alloys showed better corrosion resistance than 14K white gold alloys. All Au-Ag-In alloys showed wetting angle similar to that of 14K white gold alloys. It was observed that the 10.0 wt% In alloy had a very small wetting angle, further confirming it as a good soldering material for white metals. Our results show that white 5K Au-Ag-In alloys with appropriate properties might be successful substitutes for 14K white gold alloys.

The friction pendulum system(FPS) is a kind of seismic isolation devices for isolating structures from an earthquake. To analyze the effect of friction materials used in the friction pendulum system, fragility analysis of LNG tank with seismic isolation system was conducted. In this study, titanium dioxide(TiO2) nanoparticles were incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) matrix to produce friction materials attached to the FPS. The base moment of the concrete outer tank and the acceleration of the structure were evaluated from different mixing ratios of constituents for the friction materials. The seismic fragility curves were developed based on two types of limit state. It is confirmed that evaluation of combined fragility curves with several limit states can be applied to select the optimum friction material satisfying the required performance of the FPS for various infrastructure.

Recently, there have been many efforts to establish suitable processes for recycling fly ash, which is produced in thermal power plants and which poses serious environmental problems. Use of fly ash as a major ingredient of ceramic tiles can increase fly ash utilization, as well as reduce the cost of raw materials in ceramic tile production. In this study, the effects of fly ash addition on ceramic tile properties such as bending strength, water absorption and porosity were investigated. A manufacturing process of ceramic tile was developed for utilization of fly ash with high carbon content. In this approach, it is important to hold the ceramic tiles at a temperature that is sufficient for carbon oxidation, before the pores supplying oxygen to the inside of the ceramic tile are sealed. Ceramic wall tiles were manufactured with 0-40wt% of fly ash addition. The water absorption and porosity of the fired body were slightly changed with increasing fly ash content up to 30wt% and decreased with greater amounts of fly ash addition. The bending strength of ceramic tile including 10wt% fly ash increased, reaching a level comparable to that of ceramic tile without fly ash.

대부분의 온실가스는 에너지의 생성 및 이용으로부터 발생되고, 교통부문에서 배출되는 온실가스 중 약 95 % 이상이 수송용 연료에서 기인한다. 또한, IPCC 가이드라인에서 제시하는 배출계수를 사용하였을 경우 국가 고유의 연료특성이 반영되지 않는 단점이 있고, 기후변화협약 교토의정서에 따른 의무 감축국도 UN에 제출하는 국가 온실가스 배출량 보고서 작성 시 대부분 Tier 2나 Tier 3 수준의 배출계수를 적용하고 있 다. 본 연구에서는 국내 교통부문에 사용되는 휘발유, 경유 등의 수송용 연료에 대한 연차별 시계열 특성을 파 악하고, CO2 배출계수의 연도별 변화추이를 분석하여 실제 연료를 활용한 CO2배출계수 실측방법의 적용 타 당성을 평가하였다.

본 연구는 마시는 죽 제조를 위해 기존 죽(고구마, 호박, 귀리죽)형태에 효소처리(α-amylase, 최적온도 60°C)시 물성 학적 변화(점도 및 퍼짐성)에 대하여 관찰하였다. 점도는 효소처리 전 고구마죽 812.25±26.62 cP, 호박죽 838.64±172.01 cP, 귀리죽 554.82±149.64 cP에서 효소처리 후 각각 43.35±16.34 cP, 40.15±11.92 cP, 15.22±3.79 cP으로 감소하였다. 한편, 퍼짐성(Spread factor)은 효소처리 전 고구마죽 9.8±0.14 cm, 호박죽 7.65±0.50 cm, 귀리죽 7.65±0.50 cm에서 효소처리 후 각각 12.56±0.39 cm, 12.93±0.63 cm, 13.13±0.06 cm로 증가하였다. 본 연구결과 기존 죽에 효소 처리 시 점도는 상당히 감소되고 퍼짐성은 증가하는 경향을 알 수 있었다.

도시의 건축물은 고층화와 미려함에 초점을 맞춘 추세로 건축되고 있다. 도시의 아름다움을 유지하고, 높은 가치를 지키기 위해서는 항상 좋은 상태로 건축물을 관리해야 하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 건축물의 내외장재 를 깨끗하게 유지하여야 하며 많은 비용을 필요로 한다. 따라서 사용자들은 비, 눈, 또는 공기 오염으로부터 원래의 상태를 유지할 수 있는 자기 세정력을 요구하고 있다. 본 연구는 도장된 패널에 자기 세정 기능을 더하여 건축물의 관리 비용을 줄여주는 해법을 제시하고자 한다. polymethylsilicate를 함유한 소수성 PVDF 도막을 물로 처리했을 때 polymethylsilicate의 가수분해에 의해 코팅 소재의 표면에 하이드록시기가 형성되어 세정력을 가지게 되므로 물에 침 지한 후 표면의 색과 접촉각의 변화를 관찰하였다. 물 처리에 의해 소재의 표면에 친수성기를 형성하는 것은 매우 순 한 과정이므로 여러 가지 환경 오염원으로부터 건축물을 보호할 수 있는 자기세정 시스템의 새로운 응용 분야를 열 어줄 것이다.

In order to use coal tar pitch (CTP) as a raw material for carbon fibers, it should have suitable properties such as a narrow range of softening point, suitable viscosity and uniform optical properties. In this study, raw CTP was modified by heat treatment with three types of polymer additives (PS, PET, and PVC) to make a spinnable pitch for carbon fibers. The yield, softening point, C/H ratio, insoluble yield, and meso-phase content of various modified CTPs with polymer additives were analyzed by changing the type of polymer additive and the heat treatment temperature. The purpose of this study was to compare the properties of CTPs modified by polymer addition with those of a commercial CTP. After the pitch spinning, the obtained green fibers were stabilized and carbonized. The properties of the respective fibers were analyzed to compare their uniformity, diameter change, and mechanical properties. Among three polymer additives, PS220 and PET261 pitches were found to be spinnable, but the carbon fibers from PET261 showed mechanical properties comparable with those of a commercial CTP produced by an air-blowing method (OCI284). The CTPs modified with polymer additive had higher β-resin fractions than the CTP with only thermal treatment indicating a beneficial effect of carbon fiber application.

Buffalo leather 표면 코팅에 사용된 폴리우레탄 수지에 glycerol의 함유를 mole % 비로 달리 하면서 첨가 하였다. 합성된 폴리우레탄 수지의 기계적 특성은 SEM, FT-IR, UTM 등을 이용하여 측정 하였다. 친환경적인 고분자 수지의 관심이 고조됨에 따라 용제의 사용을 최소화한 buffalo leather 코팅에 사용되는 수분산 수지를 합성하였다. 지방족 3가 알콜인 glycerol의 mole % 비가 증가함에 따라 내마모 도, 인장강도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 반대로 연신율, 내굴곡 물성은 증가함을 알 수 있었다. Toluene 을 이용한 내용제성 물성측정 결과에는 glycerol의 mole % 증가에 따른 물성 증감 효과는 없었다.

We prepared 8 samples of non-silver and silver-added master alloys containing silicon to confirm the existence of nickel-silicides. We then prepared products made of 14K and 18K white gold by using the prepared master alloys containing 0.25, 0.35, and 0.50 wt% silicon to check for nickel release. We then employed the EN 1811 testing standard to investigate the nickel release of the white gold products, and we also confirmed the color of the white gold products with an UV-VISNIR- color meter. We observed NiSix residue in all master alloys containing more than 0.50 wt% Si with EDS-nitric acid etching. For the white gold products, we could not confirm the existence of NiSix through XRD after aqua regia etching. In the EN 1811 test, only the white gold products with 0.25 wt% silicon master alloys successfully passed the nickel release regulations. Moreover, we confirmed that our white gold products showed excellent Lab indices as compared to those of commercial white gold ones, and the silver-added master alloys offered a larger L index. Our results indicate that employing 0.25 wt% silicon master alloys might be suitable for white gold products without nickel-silicide defects and nickel release problems.

This study is a basic research for repair material production which manufactured a Cu repair coating layer on the base material of a Cu plate using kinetic spray process. Furthermore, the manufactured material underwent an annealing heat treatment, and the changes of microstructure and macroscopic properties in the Cu repair coating layer and base material were examined. The powder feedstocks were sphere-shaped pure Cu powders with an average size of 27.7μm. The produced repair coating material featured 600μm thickness and 0.8% porosity, and it had an identical α-Cu single phase as the early powder. The produced Cu repair coating material and base material displayed extremely high adhesion characteristics that produced a boundary difficult to identify. Composition analysis confirmed that the impurities in the base material and repair coating material had no significant differences. Microstructure observation after a 500℃/1hr. heat treatment (vacuum condition) identified recovery, recrystallization and grain growth in the repair coating material and featured a more homogeneous microstructure. The hardness difference (δHv) between the repair coating material and base material significantly reduced from 87 to 34 after undergoing heat treatment.

Swelling of the heat-treated netting for gillnet was estimated through the netting height in square acrylic tank. Experimental Nylon netting and PBSAT netting were heat-treated by using the high-degree vacuum method in hot water after net making. Heat-treatment temperatures were conducted with Nylon netting 105°C and PBSAT netting 62°C, 65°C, 66°C, 67°C. The swelling measurement method of a netting using the square tank was capable of the reduction measurement errors comparing with measurement methods of a mesh inner angle and the shortening rate of a mesh size. In addition, this method was available to comparison evaluation for each netting more easily. Wet type heat-treatment apparatus with high-degree vacuum was shown higher 7∼8°C inner side temperature than a setting temperature. The tensile strength and elongation of Nylon netting and PBSAT netting were shown higher wet condition than dry condition. The tensile strengths of PBSAT monofilaments in dry and wet condition were sharply decreased at heat-treatment temp. 75°C than heat-treatment temp. 74°C

Coal-tar pitch, a feedstock which can be heat-treated to create graphite, is composed of very complex molecules. Coal-tar pitch is a precursor of many useful carbon materials (e.g., graphite, carbon fibers, electrodes and matrices of carbon/carbon composites). Modified coal-tar pitch (MCTP) was prepared using two different heat-treatment methods and their properties were characterized and compared. One was prepared using heat treatment in nitrogen gas; the other was prepared under a pressure of 350 mmHg in air. The MCTPs were investigated to determine several properties, including softening point, C/H ratio, coke yield, formation of anisotropic mesophase and viscosity. The MCTPs were subject to considerable changes in chemical composition due to condensation and polymerization in the used-as-received coal-tar pitch after heat-treatment under different conditions. The MCTPs showed considerable increases in softening point, C/H ratio, and coke yield, compared to those of as-received coal-tar pitch. The MCTP formed by heat-treatment in nitrogen showed isotropic phases below 350˚C for 1 h of soaking time. However, MCTP heat-treated under high pressure (350 mmHg) showed isotropic phases below 300˚C, and showed anisotropic phases above 350˚C, for 1 h of soaking time. The viscosity of the MCTPs increased with increase in their softening points.

In this study, nano-scale copper powders were reduction treated in a hydrogen atmosphere at the relativelyhigh temperature of 350℃ in order to eliminate surface oxide layers, which are the main obstacles for fabricating anano/ultrafine grained bulk parts from the nano-scale powders. The changes in composition and microstructure beforeand after the hydrogen reduction treatment were evaluated by analyzing X-ray diffraction (XRD) line profile patternsusing the convolutional multiple whole profile (CMWP) procedure. In order to confirm the result from the XRD lineprofile analysis, transmitted electron microscope observations were performed on the specimen of the hydrogen reduc-tion treated powders fabricated using a focused ion beam process. A quasi-statically compacted specimen from the nano-scale powders was produced and Vickers micro-hardness was measured to verify the potential of the powders as thebasis for a bulk nano/ultrafine grained material. Although the bonding between particles and the growth in size of theparticles occurred, crystallites retained their nano-scale size evaluated using the XRD results. The hardness results dem-onstrate the usefulness of the powders for a nano/ultrafine grained material, once a good consolidation of powders isachieved.
