콘크리트내의 공극률은 콘크리트 구조물의 내구적인 특성과 밀접한 관련성이 있다. 특히, 콘크리트 시공시 가수된 물은 콘크리트의 비빔과 작업성에 일시적으로 도움이 되지만, 이러한 가수는 콘크리트의 공극을 증가하게 하며, 이는 콘크리트 구조물의 내구적인 성능저하를 야기하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 물시멘트비 0.45의 시멘트 모르타르에 대하여, 단위수량을 증가시켜 물멘트비를 0.45에서 0.60으로 증가시키면서 내구성능을 평가하였다. 즉, 각 물시멘트별로 소정의 재령까지 양생한 시험체에 대하여 강도, 염화물 확산, 투기성, 포화도 및 수분 확산계수 등의 다양한 내구성 실험을 수행하였으며, 이러한 실험결과들은 변화하는 공극률과 함께 분석되었다. 또한 내구성능의 변화 비율 및 그 패턴은 공극분포, 공극률, 그리고 단위수량을 고려하여 정량적으로 평가되었다.

This study is to investigate the relationship between pore structures of activated carbons and adsorption characteristics of toluene vapor using dynamic adsorption method. The surface areas of below 10Å in the pore diameter of activated carbons used in this experiment were in the range of 72～93％ of total cumulative surface area and the toluene vapor equilibrium adsorption capacities were in the range of 350～390mg/g. Activated carbons having larger toluene adsorption capacity than the compared activated carbons had relatively pores in the pore diameter range of 7～10Å. Linear relationship between equilibrium adsorption capacity and cumulative surface area was in the diameter range of over 7Å. It was thought that toluene vapor was relatively well adsorbed on surfaces of pores of over 7Å.

For effective CO2 separation using pore size controlled membrane, silica was deposited in the mesopores of a γ-alumina film by chemical vapor deposition of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and phenyl-substituted ethoxysilanes at 773-873K. The membranes prepared with phenyl-substituted ethoxysilanes were calcined to remove the phenyl group and control the pore size. The gas permselectivity of prepared membranes was evaluated by using H2, CO2, N2, CH4 and C3H8 single component and a mixture of CO2 and N2. The membranes produced using TEOS contained micropores having permselectivity only to hydrogen, but the phenyl-substituted ethoxysilane derived membranes possessed micropores which are recognizable molecules of CO2, N2 and CH4. In the diphenyldiethoxysilane-derived membrane, the CO2 permeance and selectivity of CO2/CH4 were 10-6 ㎥(STP)·m-2·s-1·kPa-1 and 11, respectively. Therefore, the use of phenyl-substituted ethoxysilane was effective in controlling micropore size for CO2 separation.
