PURPOSES : In this study, a method to use magnesium phosphate ceramic (MPC) concrete for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete is developed. METHODS : To investigate the application of a material incorporated with MPC for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete, structures with various cross-sections and thicknesses were constructed. The cross-section of the structure was modeled for the surface maintenance of four types of pavements and typical pavement construction processes, such as cutting, cleaning, production and casting, finishing, hardening, and joint reinstallation. Subsequently, the hours required for each process was determined. RESULTS : The MPC concrete used for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete demonstrate excellent performance. The MPC concrete indicates a compressive strength exceeding 25 MPa for 2 h, and its hydration heat is 52.9 ℃~61.2 ℃. Meanwhile, the crushing and cleaning performed during the production and casting of the MPC require a significant amount of time. Specifically, for a partial repair process, a total of 6 h is sufficient under traffic control, although this duration is inadequate for a complete repair process. CONCLUSIONS : MPC concrete is advantageous for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete. In fact, MPC concrete can be sufficiently constructed using existing concrete maintenance equipment, and partial repair works spanning a cross-sectional area of 11 m2 can be completed in 1 d. In addition, if the crushing and cleaning are performed separately from production and construction, then repair work using MPC concrete can be performed at a larger scale.

Generally, ceramic tiles for building construction are manufactured by dry forming process using granular powders prepared by spray drying process after mixing and grinding of mineral raw materials. In recent years, as the demand for large ceramic tiles with natural texture has increased, the development of granule powders with high packing ratio and excellent flowability has become more important. In this study, ceramic tile granule powders are coated with hydrophobically treated silica nanoparticles. The effects of hydrophobic silica coating on the flowability of granule powders and the strength of the green body are investigated in detail. Silica nanoparticles are hydrophobically treated with GPTMS(3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane), which is an epoxy-based silane coupling agent. As the coating concentration increases, the angle of repose and the compressibility decrease. The tap density and flowability index increase after silica coating treatment. These results indicate that hydrophobic treatment can improve the flowability of the granular powder, and prevent cracking of green body at high pressure molding.

An electroless deposition method was used to modify the surface properties of rice husk ceramic particles (RHC) by depositing nano-nickel on the surface of the RHC (Ni-RHC). The dry tribological performances of aluminum matrix composite adobes containing different contents of RHC and Ni-RHC particles have been investigated using a micro-tribometer. Results showed that the Ni–RHC particles substantially improved both the friction and wear properties of the Ni-RHC/aluminum matrix adobes. The optimal concentration was determined to be 15 wt% for both the RHC and Ni–RHC particles. The improvements in the tribological properties of aluminum adobes including the Ni-RHC were ascribed to frictioninduced peeling off of Ni coating and formation of protection layer on the wear zone, both of which led to low friction and wear volume.

제품은 사용된 소재에 따라 이미지가 달라지며 전달되는 감성 또한 다르게 느껴지기 때문에 적절한 소재의 선정은 매우 중요하다. 세라믹 제품의 표면에 사용되는 소재는 유약과 소지가 있으며 각각이 가진 속성뿐만 아니라 둘의 조합에 따라서도 표면의 촉감과 색상이 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 감성어휘를 통한 평가 방법을 활용하여 세라믹 표 면에 대한 시․촉각적 감성을 알아보고 시각을 활용한 촉감 감성과 촉각을 활용한 촉감 감성을 비교하고자 한다.국내외 유명 세라믹 제품 기업의 홈페이지에 나타난 제품의 마케팅 어휘 중 감성과 관련된 어휘를 중심으로 수집하 여 총 13개의 대표어휘를 선정하였으며 소재의 색상 및 균일도, 광택의 유무에 따라 3개의 유약과 4개의 소지를 조 합하여 총 12개의 자극물을 제작하였다. 촉각을 활용한 실험에서는 응답자(그룹T)가 제시된 자극물을 문지르기, 만 지기, 들어보기의 행동을 거쳐 감성을 평가하였다. 시각을 활용한 실험에서는 촉감 평가에서 유의미한 차이가 나타 나지 않은 자극물 3개를 제외한 9개로 평가를 진행하였으며 응답자(그룹V)는 촉각을 활용하지 않고 눈으로 보는 행동만으로 감성을 평가하였다. 촉각을 활용한 감성평가(그룹T)에서 가장 높은 감성 수치를 보인 표면은 백자와 투 명유의 조합에 대한 ‘순수한’ 감성이었으며 가장 낮은 감성 수치를 보인 표면은 흑토와 투명유의 조합에 대한 ‘순수 한’ 감성으로 나타났다. 한편 시각을 활용한 감성평가(그룹V)에서 가장 높은 감성 수치를 보인 표면도 그룹T와 마찬 가지로 백자와 투명유의 조합에 대한 ‘순수한’ 감성으로 나타났으며 가장 낮은 감성 수치를 보인 표면은 흑토와 청자 유의 조합에 대한 ‘캐주얼한’ 감성으로 나타났다. 두 그룹의 비교결과 촉각을 통한 감성과 시각을 통한 감성이 모두 유사하게 나타나지는 않으나, ‘예술적인’, ‘고급스러운’, ‘감각적인’, ‘낭만적인’, ‘신비로운’ 감성에서는 시각을 활용 하여 촉각을 통한 감성 경험이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

Ceramic membrane technology has been remarkably progressed for water treatment. The advantages were founded on the intrinsic properties of ceramics. Membrane fouling is regarded as a serious obstacles which deteriorate the stable purification process. The surface modification of ceramic membranes would be necessary to relieve the severe membrane fouling and to improve filtration efficiency. We aimed to develop a unique ceramic membrane with resistance to fouling. The ceramic membranes are subjected to chemical modification, and the surface charge effects were extensively investigated.

The Mg-enriched magnesium aluminum silicate (MAS) glass is known for its higher mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Among such glasses, cordierite (Mg2Al4Si5O18) is well known to have a low thermal expansion and low melting point. Polycrystalline engineering ceramics such as alumina can be strengthened by a surface modification with low thermal expansion materials. The present study involves the synthesis of cordierite by a sol-gel process and investigates the effect of glass penetration on the surface of alumina. The cordierite powders were prepared from Al(OC3H7)3, Mg(OC2H5)2 and tetraethyl orthosilicate by hydrolysis and condensation reaction. The cordierite powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD, Rigaku), scanning electron microscope (SEM, JEOL: JSM-5610), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS, JEOL: JSM-5610), and universal testing machine (UTM, INSTRON). The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the synthesized particles were μ-cordierite calcined at 1100˚C for 1 h. The shape of synthesized cordierite was changed from μ-cordierite to α-cordierite with increasing calcination temperature. Synthesized cordierite was used for surface modification of alumina. Cordierite powders penetrated deeply into the alumina sample along grain boundaries with increasing temperature. The results of surface modification tests showed that the strength of the prepared alumina sample increased after surface modification. The strength of a surface modified with synthesized cordierite increased the most, to about 134.6MPa.
