CFRP materials are one of the excellent lightweight materials of the next generation. Also, the CFRP materials are attracting materials form the global automotive industry. However, CFRP material is made at a high cost of carbon fiber as raw material, so research of production cost reduction into the development of molding equipment and molding process technology related to mass production for the automotive industry is actively administered. Generally, CFRP is known as a high corrosion-resistant material in which no corrosion occurs. However, the investigation of the relationship with corrosion behavior on the roughness of CFRP's conditions according to is rarely studied. In this paper, the surface roughness has conducted three surface roughness conditions given arbitrarily, and the electrochemical evaluation has performed under the electrolysis conditions of 5 wt.% NaCl, which is the salt-water test condition of vehicle parts in automotive industries. Moreover, the samples were analyzed with changes of microstructures by FE-SEM and chemical composition's variation by EDS before and after electrochemical evaluation.

For the aerospace structural application of high-strength 2xxx series aluminum alloys, stress corrosion cracking(SCC) behavior in aggressive environments needs to be well understood. In this study, the SCC sensitivities of 2024- T62, 2124-T851 and 2050-T84 alloys in a 3.5% NaCl solution are measured using a constant load testing method without polarization and a slow strain rate test(SSRT) method at a strain rate of 10-6 /sec under a cathodic applied potential. When the specimens are exposed to a 3.5% NaCl solution under a constant load for 10 days, the decrease in tensile ductility is negligible for 2124-T851 and 2050-T84 specimens, proving that T8 heat treatment is beneficial in improving the SCC resistance of 2xxx series aluminum alloys. The specimens are also susceptible to SCC in a hydrogen-generating environment at a slow strain rate of 10−6/sec in a 3.5% NaCl solution under a cathodic applied potential. Regardless of the test method, low impurity 2124-T851 and high Cu/Mg ratio 2050-T84 alloys are found to have relatively lower SCC sensitivity than 2024-T62. The SCC behavior of 2xxx series aluminum alloys in the 3.5% NaCl solution is discussed based on fractographic and micrographic observations.

Chlor-alkali (CA) membranes as key materials to generate chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide are composed of sulfonic acid layer (S-layer) and carboxylic acid layer (C-layer) to provide fast sodium ion transport and slow hydroxide ion diffusion, respectively. Aciplex F, a representative CA membrane is made in a double layer form via thermal adhesion of both layers after each single layer film is independently fabricated. Unfortunately, the membrane fabrication induces delamination particularly in their interface as a result of hydroxide ion diffusion occurring during CA operation, leading to rapid increase in electrochemical overpotential. In this study, selective chemical conversion technique was developed to solve the delamination issue. Their effectiveness was proved by applying the same concept to a wide range of PFSA membrane.

Saline water electrolysis is an electrochemical process to produce valued chemicals by applying electric power. Perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers have been used as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) materials owing to their high sodium ion selectivity and barrier properties. However, sulfonic acid groups in PFSA ionomers are chemically decomposed under a basic catholyte condition, which makes the PEM materials lose their ionic selectivity and Faraday efficiency. In this study, double layered membranes were prepared by anchoring cross-linked hydrocarbon ionomers, as a protection layer to catholyte atmosphere, into the water channels, particularly, located at around the surface of a PFSA membrane. Here, each monomer results in the identical chemical architecture and different free volume content when polymerized.

Saline water electrolysis (SWE) is an electrochemical technology to directly generate valued chemicals such as chlorine gas (Cl2), hydrogen (H2), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) by applying electric energy. The key materials in SWE are cation exchange membranes with high selectivity to sodium ions under chemically harsh SWE conditions. The representative SWE membranes are perfluorinated double layered membranes composed of perfluorinated sulfonic acid layer and carboxylic acid layer to transport sodium ions rapidly and to prevent the passage of hydroxide ions, respectively. The commercially available membranes are, however, suffering from delamination issues occurring in their interface. In this presentation, delamination-free membrane fabrication processes will be addressed.

Chlor-alkali (CA) membrane process is a commercially useful process to produce valued chemicals such as chlorine, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen via salined water electrolysis using sodium ion (Na+)-selective membranes. The most important issue in CA process is to reduce high energy consumption. A plausible solution is to obtain highly Na+-conductive membranes. The representative membrane materials are chemically stable perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers such as Nafion® and Aciplex®. PFSA membranes, but it is necessary to develop alternatives to PFSA membranes. In this study, a sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymer membrane is radiation-grafted with a highly sulfonated poly(styrene) used as a side chain material.

Saline water electrolysis is a representative electrochemical conversion to produce chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide as major products by applying electric power. Perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers have been usually used as polymer electrolyte membrane materials owing to high sodium ion selectivity and strong resistance to acidic compounds (e.g., Cl2, HCl and so on) produced in anode. However, PFSA ionomers have been suffering from chemical degradation occurring when exposed under harsh basic condition in cathode. In this study, double layered chlor-alkali membranes were prepared by anchoring crosslinked hydrocarbon ionomer via radical polymerization technique in water channels located in a surface layer of PFSA ionomer membranes and electrochemically evaluated.

ber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars for concrete structure have been extensively investigated and a number of FRP bars are commercially available. However, major shortcoming of the existing FRP bars is low elastic modulus compared to conventional steel bars. Because of these reasons, FRP Hybrid Bar which have the concept of material hybridization(synthetic resins, deformed bar, glass fiber etc) for concrete structures have been developed. One of main features of this bar is corrosion resistance and this is important to confirm this anti-corrosion capacity of FRP Hybrid Bar. In this study, galvanic corrosion current behavior of 3 types of specimens, including two types of FRP Hybrid Bars and one conventional steel rebar, was investigated under the 0%, 1.5%, 3% and 6% salt water ratio condition. The result of this study can be used to evaluate the applicability of FRP Hybrid Bar to concrete structures.

The pickling brine generated from the salting process of kimchi production is difficult to treat biologically due to very high content of salt. When pickling brine is treated and discharged, it cannot satisfy the criteria for effluent water quality in clean areas, while resources such as the salt to be recycled and the industrial water are wasted. However, sterilization by ozone, UV and photocatalyst is expensive installation costs and operating costs when considering the small kimchi manufacturers. Therefore there is a need to develop economical process. The study was conducted on the sterilization efficiency of the pickling brine using electrochemical processing. The electrochemical treatment of organic matters has advantages over conventional methods such as active carbon absorption process, chemical oxidation, and biological treatment because the response speed is faster and it does not require expensive, harmful oxidizing agents. This study were performed to examine the possibility of electrochemical treatment for the efficient processing of pickling brine and evaluated the performance of residual chlorine for the microbial sterilization.
