Recently, there has been growing interest in harmful substances released from household items such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and this has increased people’s environmental awareness. In this study, adhesives and manicures were used as samples of indoor household goods and formaldehyde emission and tested over time under temperature conditions of 15oC, 25oC, 35oC, and 45oC. The small chamber method as the indoor air quality process test method was employed and used to evaluate the concentration of formaldehyde emissions. As a result, formaldehyde emissions gradually decreased over time in both tests using adhesives and manicures. The cumulative emission showed a logarithmic function over time, and the formaldehyde can be released for longer periods of time at lower temperature conditions. The logarithmic value and response time showed linear relationships, and it can be inferred that the formaldehyde was released from the sample through the first order reaction. Furthermore, the relationship between temperature and velocity constants which was determined using the Arenius linear equation showed that the reaction rate of formaldehyde can be estimated by a temperature change.

To investigate the adhesion effect of various kinds and contents of polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanates (pMDIs) on adhesion performance, wood adhesives (A-1~5) were synthesized and characterized. As results, when the amount of pMDI increased in adhesives, the dry tensile strength was found to be proportionally increased sustaining at around 16.0~21.6 kgf/cm2. The polyurethane (PU) resin, which used M11S as a source of pMDI showed the best wet tensile strength at 11.9 kgf/cm2 and cyclic boil tensile strength at 8.1 kgf/cm2, which satisfied the requirement of over 7 kgf/cm2. Thermal properties of the rice powder (RP) based polyurethane resins were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Thermal stability of polyurethane resins increased to 250℃ with adding pMDIs. The more pMDI (M5S) was added to adhesive, the higher thermal stability of the resin was observed by TGA.

The natures of fatigue crack growth under Mode Ⅱ loading are studied. End notched flexure beam specimens were used. The effects of adherend thickness, rubber modification and adhesive thickness on fatigue crack growth were examined. The experimental results show that some of these parameters apparently do affect fatigue crack growth. Resistance to ModeⅡ fatigue crack growth are increased by rubber modification. The effects of adhesive thickness and rubber content on fatigue crack growth were explained by von Mises's equivalent stress using BEM analysis. For unmodified epoxy adhesives, the fatigue crack growth properties under Mode Ⅱ loadings were significantly different in all regions. For rubber-modified epoxy adhesives, they were also different in the first and second regions, but in the third region, they were similar

Various adhesive materials are used in flip chip packaging for electrical interconnection and structural reinforcement. In cases of COF(chip on film) packages, low temperature bonding adhesive is currently needed for the utilization of low thermal resistance substrate films, such as PEN(polyethylene naphthalate) and PET(polyethylene terephthalate). In this study, the effects of anhydride and dihydrazide hardeners on the low-temperature snap cure behavior of epoxy based non-conductive pastes(NCPs) were investigated to reduce flip chip bonding temperature. Dynamic DSC(differential scanning calorimetry) and isothermal DEA(dielectric analysis) results showed that the curing rate of MHHPA(hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride) at 160˚C was faster than that of ADH(adipic dihydrazide) when considering the onset and peak curing temperatures. In a die shear test performed after flip chip bonding, however, ADH-containing formulations indicated faster trends in reaching saturated bond strength values due to the post curing effect. More enhanced HAST(highly accelerated stress test) reliability could be achieved in an assembly having a higher initial bond strength and, thus, MHHPA is considered to be a more effective hardener than ADH for low temperature snap cure NCPs.

The crack initiation equals to fracture for bonded joint with brittle adhesive. The criterion is formulated in terms of the quasi-stress intensity factor Kp, for the maximum principle stress, that is analogous to the stress intensity factor used to characterize the stress field in the vicinity of bond terminus. Kp is evaluated using a boundary element analysis. The crack initiation at the terminus of adhesive bonded joints is estimated with the critical quasi-stress intensity factor Kp. This method presented here hardly pays attention to the crack propagation. Since there is a large influence of crack propagation on the strength of adhesive joints and structures, crack propagation must be taken into account on strength prediction of bonded joints. The quasi-stress intensity factor Kp for the maximum principle stress can use as the criteria of the crack initiation at the terminus of adhesive bonded joints having various shapes.

The objectives of the present study are to show how to predict the crack initiation at the terminus of adhesive bonded joints to calculate the crack growth in the adhesive layer using the total strain energy release rate. The crack propagation for ductile adhesives is theoretically estimated using -curve. -curve is determined from static shearing tests of single lap joints. The total strain energy release rate for single lap joints is evaluated using a boundary element analysis. The strength prediction is conducted by means of the R-curve and the total strain energy release rate.The conclusions are summarized as follows; (1) A crack propagation geometry of the bonded structure using ductile adhesive was predicted from the distribution of the total strain energy release rate. (2) The final failure load for lap joints is predicted by the R-curve method based on the fracture mechanics. (3) The final failure load for stiffened plates with a steel L-beam is predicted by the R-curve method based on the fracture mechanics.

The purpose of this study was to identify for extenders, adhesives, colorants, and fungicides suitable for the production of high-quality film-coated seeds of Chinese cabbage. In addition, the effect of various additives used for film coating on the germination of coated seeds and seedling vigor was investigated to establish appropriate treatment conditions for film coating efficiency. The germination rate and germination speed in Chinese cabbage film-coated seeds did not differ significantly depending on the type and concentration of the extender, while the use of Talc resulted in superior granulation capacity and adhesion of the seed coat in comparison to Zeolite. There was no significant difference in the germination rate depending on the type of adhesive used for film coating of Chinese cabbage seeds, but the germination rate was slightly slower in the film-coated seeds using carboxymethyl cellulose as an adhesive. On the other hand, the seeds coated with a film using 1% PVA as an adhesive not only maintained hardness enough to withstand external pressure, but also showed a high germination rate. In addition, the suitable disinfectant for film coating was venoram, and the treatment concentration was good at 250 mg·L-1. The type of colorant used in the film-coated seeds of Chinese cabbage did not significantly affect the germination rate, germination speed, and seedling vigor. The seeds film-coated using the liquid colorant were superior in appearance to the seeds film-coated with the solid colorant, which implies the possibility of reduction in the manufacturing costs by using the water-soluble paints as colorants for film-coated seeds.

FRP 복합체의 함침ㆍ접착에 사용되는 에폭시 수지와 같은 2액형 접착제는 두 성분을 상호 혼합함으로써 경화반응이 시작되며, 일정 시간이 경과되면 접착제의 점도와 온도가 급격히 증가된다. 이와 같이 접착제의 점도가 증가되면 작업성과 접착력이 저하되므로, 현장에서의 작업은 시공연도(workability)가 유지되는 한계, 소위「사용가능시간(pot life)」이내에 완료되어야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 구조보강용 FRP 복합체의 함침ㆍ접착에 사용되는 에폭시 수지의 사용가능시간을 평가하기 위하여 기존에 제안되고 있는 점도변화법 및 발열온도상승법의 적합성을 검증하고, 실험결과의 비교ㆍ분석을 통하여 구조용 접착제의 사용가능시간을 보다 합리적으로 산정할 수 있는 시험방법 및 평가기준을 제안하였다.
