유연한 전기변색 소자(electrochromic device, ECD)는 스마트 윈도우 등 다양한 분야에서 응용이 기대되는 유망한 기술이다. 고분자 전해질은 유연한 ECD의 탈-변색 성능 및 물리적 안정성을 결정하는 중요한 구성요소이다. 본 연구에서는 효과적인 유연한 ECD 제조 및 내구성 향상을 위해 치수안정성이 우수한 세공충진 고분자 전해질 멤브레인(PFPEM)을 개발 하였다. 저렴하며 물리적 및 화학적 안정성이 우수한 폴리에틸렌 재질의 다공성 지지체의 세공에 접착력이 우수한 polyvinyl acetate와 이온전도도를 향상시킬 수 있는 polyethylene glycol을 사용하여 제조한 고분자 전해질을 충진하였다. 제조된 PFPEM의 최적 리튬 염(LiTFSI) 함량은 약 27 wt%에서 결정되었으며 우수한 치수안정성와 접착 강도 그리고 종래의 고분자 전해질에 근접하는 이온전도 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 다공성 지지체의 사용으로 가시광 투과율이 저하되었으나 변색 상태에서는 오히려 장점으로 작용할 것으로 전망되었다.

2-브로모메틸-1,3-디옥솔란을 이용한 2-에티닐피리딘의 중합을 통하여 측쇄에 디옥솔란 치환기를 갖는 새로운 이온성 공액구조 고분자를 합성하였다. 별도의 촉매없이도 중합반응이 잘 진행되어 높은 수율의 중합체를 얻을 수 있었다(76%). 합성한 고분자의 분자구조를 여러 가지 분석장비를 사용하여 분석한 결과 1,3-디옥솔란 부분을 갖는 설계한 공액구조 고분자임을 확인하였다. 고분자의 적외선분광분석 스펙트럼에서는 2110 cm-1 와 3293 cm-1에 서 관찰되었던 2-에티닐피리딘의 아세틸렌 특성피크를 보여주지 않는 대신 1620 cm-1 인근에서 공액이중결합의 탄소-탄소 이중결합의 특성 피크를 보다 강하게 보여주었다. 합성한 고분자의 전기전도도 및 전기-광학적 특성을 측정하고 분석하였다. 요오드로 도핑한 고분자의 전기전도도는 1.82 x 10-3 S/cm 였다.

From measured thermal conductivity and modeling by simulation, this study suggests that U-factors are highly related to materials used between steel and polymer. The objective and prospective point of this study are to relate the relationship between the U-factor and the thermal conductivity of the materials used. For the characterization, EDX, SEM, a thermal conductive meter, and computer simulation utility are used to analyze the elemental, surface structural properties, and U-factor with a simulation of the used material between steel and polymer. This study set out to divide the curtain wall system that makes up the envelope into an aluminum frame section and entrance frame section and interpret their thermal performance with U-factors. Based on the U-factor thermal analysis results, the target curtain wall system is divided into fix and vent types. The glass is 24 mm double glazing (6 mm common glass +12 mm Argon +6 mm Low E). The same U-factor of 1.45 W/m2·K is applied. The interpretation results show that the U-factor and total U-value of the aluminum frame section are 1.449 and 2.343 W/m2·K, respectively. Meanwhile, those of the entrance frame section are 1.449 and 2.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate newly developed Guss mastic asphalt with polymer modifier as a elastomer and a plastomer in to polymer content. METHODS : As polymer modifiers, 10%, 20% of elastomer and 10%, 20% of plastomer, and 10% of elastomer and 10% of plastomer are all added to the binder, and the physical properties of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture with these binders are changed. The properties of mixtures with workability, penetration depth and dynamic stability were compared with the existing Guss mastic asphalt mixture. RESULTS : When using the elastomer and the plastomer, the dynamic stability of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture was improved compared to the conventional asphalt mixture, and when the amount of the elastomer was 20%, the workability was reduced. In addition, when 10% of the elastomer and 10% of the plastomer were used, the workability was not significantly deteriorated and the dynamic stability was increased. CONCLUSIONS : In order to improve the dynamic stability of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture using the polymer-modified binder, it is effective to use an elastomer and a plaststomer.

연구에서는 새로 설계한 고분자 절연체 위에 전자 주개(Donor)-받개(Acceptor) 기반의 반도체성 공중합체인 Cyclopentadithiophene-alt-benzothiadiazole (CDT-BTZ)를 활성 반도체층으로 형성하여 제작한 고분자 반도체 전계효과 트랜지스터의 전기적 특성을 살펴보았다. 이 연구에서 제시하는 고분자 절연체 박막은 내열성과 전기절연성이 우수한 포스파젠과 멜리민 구조가 가교된 형태를 가지기 때문에 0.006 nm의 매우 평탄한 RMS 표면 거칠기를 가졌으며, 4.5 MV/cm 이상의 매우 우수한 절연강도와 1.55의 다소 낮은 유전 상수를 가진 것으로 측정되었다. 그리고, 고분자 절연 막과 계면을 이루는 CDT-BTZ D-A 타입 반도체성 공중합체 박막은 2.0 x 10-3 cm2/Vs의 선형영역 이동도와 1.0 x 10-3 cm2/Vs의 포화영역 이동도를 갖는 것으로 측정되었다. 이를 통해, 고분자 절연체 위에 형성된 CDT-BTZ 고분자 반도체 박막은 유연 전자회로의 스위칭 소자로 쓰이기에 충분한 잠재성이 있다고 여겨진다.

PURPOSES : Given that large-scale repair works of expressway bridge pavements have high maintenance cost and long traffic blocking time, the thin overlay method that maintains the existing pavement is attracting attention. In this study, because the bridge thin overlay has not been introduced in Korea yet, the basic physical properties of the epoxy thin overlay, which is mainly used for the bridge thin overlay, were investigated, and the skid resistance and bond performance were analyzed. METHODS : Basic physical property tests were performed on each of the epoxy binders, aggregates, and mixtures used in epoxy thin overlay. They were also compared and reviewed against foreign standards. The epoxy binders were tested for viscosity, gel time, and thermal compatibility. The aggregates were tested in terms of water absorption, specific gravity, and gradation. The compressive and flexural strengths of the mixtures were investigated. The epoxy thin overlay has the possibility of detachment of aggregates, so the skid resistance was tested according to the paving phase. In addition, to investigate the bond performance, which is the most important performance of the epoxy thin overlay, the bond strength test was performed by varying the moisture condition and treatment condition of the existing layer surface. RESULTS : The basic physical properties of the materials used in the epoxy thin overlays satisfied foreign standards except for the gradation of aggregates. The skid resistance did not satisfy the standard when the epoxy was exposed, whereas the skid resistance did satisfy the standard when the aggregates were exposed, even after the abrasion test. The bond strength of the epoxy thin overlay satisfied the standard in all cases. The bond strength was the highest when the relative humidity of the existing layer surface was 60%. CONCLUSIONS : The materials of epoxy thin overlay that could be obtained in Korea satisfied the basic physical property standards except for aggregate gradation. Given that the aggregate gradation could be adjusted, it can be concluded that the epoxy thin overlay could be introduced in Korea. In addition, it was confirmed that the skid resistance and bond strength of the epoxy thin overlay were high enough to be used in general road conditions. It was determined that the existing layer surface should maintain an optimal relative humidity of approximately 60% because the moisture condition affects the bond strength.

Compared to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene possesses high strength due to wrinkled surface texture caused by a high density of surface defects which benefits more contact with the polymer material than a rolled-up CNT. In the present review, we have discussed and compared the various properties of CNTs (1-D) and graphene (2-D) obtained in experimental results. The effects of covalent and non-covalent functionalization of CNTs and graphene on the properties of its composites have also been reviewed and compared. A comparative analysis has been carried out between CNTs and graphene-reinforced polymer composites. Furthermore, the synergetic effects of CNTs and graphene hybrid nanofiller on the mechanical properties of polymer composites have also been briefly discussed. Finally, this review concludes with the potential application and future challenges are discussed with regards to filler and their polymer composites.
