As automation systems become more common, there is growing interest in functional labeling systems using organic and inorganic hybrid materials. Especially, the demand for thermally and chemically stable labeling paper that can be used in a high temperature environment above 300 oC and a strong acid and base atmosphere is increasing. In this study, a composite coating solution for the development of labeling paper with excellent thermal and chemical stability is prepared by mixing a silica inorganic binder and titanium dioxide. The silica inorganic binder is synthesized using a sol-gel process and mixed with titanium dioxide to improve whiteness at high-temperature. Adhesion between the polyimide substrate and the coating layer is secured and the surface properties of the coating layer, including the thermal and chemical stability, are investigated in detail. The effects of the coating solution dispersion on the surface properties of the coating layer are also analyzed. Finally, it is confirmed that the developed functional labeling paper showed excellent printability.

Whisker-type magnesium hydroxide sulfate hydrate (5Mg(OH)2·MgSO4·3H2O, abbreviated 513 MHSH), is used in filler and flame-retardant composites based on its hydrate phase and its ability to undergo endothermic dehydration in fire conditions, respectively. In general, the length of whiskers is determined according to various synthetic conditions in a hydrothermal reaction with high temperature (~180oC). In this work, high-quality 513 MHSH whiskers are synthesized by controlling the concentration of the raw material in ambient conditions without high pressure. Particularly, the concentration of the starting material is closely related to the length, width, and purity of MHSH. In addition, a ceramic-coating system is adopted to enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the MHSH whiskers. The physical properties of the silica-coated MHSH are characterized by an abrasion test, thermogravimetric analysis, and transmission electron microscopy.

Silica is used in shell materials to minimize oxidation and aggregation of nanoparticles. Particularly, porous silica has gained attention because of its performance in adsorption, catalysis, and medical applications. In this study, to investigate the effect of the density of the silica coating layer on the color of the pigment, we arbitrarily change the structure of a silica layer using an etchant. We use NaOH or NH4OH to etch the silica coating layer. First, we synthesize α-FeOOH for a length of 400 nm and coat it with TEOS to fabricate particles with a 50 nm coating layer. The coating thickness is then adjusted to 30–40 nm by etching the silica layer for 5 h. Four different shapes of α-FeOOH with different colors are measured using UV–vis light. From the color changes of the four different shapes of α-FeOOH features during coating or etching, the L* value is observed to increase and brighten the overall color, and the b* value increases to impart a clear yellow color to the pigment. The brightest yellow color was that coated with silica; if the sample is etched with NaOH or NH4OH, the b* value can be controlled to study the yellow colors.

본 연구에서는 초소수성 실리카 에어로겔을 이용하여 단열 성능을 갖는 투명 필름용 유/무기 복합 코팅물질을 제조하였다. 바인더 물질로 사용된 자외선 경화형 우레탄 아크릴레이트 수지와 에어로겔과의 상용성을 위해 계면활성제(Brij 56)를 이용하여 에어로겔의 표면을 개질하였다. 개질된 에어로겔을 고분자 수지와 복합화한 코팅 용액을 폴리카보네이트 기지재에 코팅한 후 자외선경화를 통해 코팅필름을 제조하였다. 에어로겔이 10 vol% 함량으로 첨가되었을 때, 코팅필름의 단열성능은 측정된 열전도도 기준으로 순수 기지재 대비 28% 정도로 향상되었다. 또한, 코팅필름의 광투과율은 에어로겔이 50 vol%로 과량 첨가된 경우에도 80% 이상 높은 수준을 유지하였으며, 우수한 접착성(5B) 및 연필 경도(4H)를 보여주었다.

In this study, the silica-based hybrid material with high barrier property was prepared by incorporating ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer, which has been utilized as packaging materials due to its superior gas permeation resistance, during sol-gel process. In preparation of this EVOH/SiO2 hybrid coating materials, the (3-glycidoxy-propyl)-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as a silane coupling agent was employed to promote interfacial adhesion between organic and inorganic phases. As confirmed from FT-IR analysis, the physical interaction between two phases was improved due to the increased hydrogen bonding, resulting in homogeneous microstructure with dispersion of nano-sized silica particles. However, depending on the range of content of added silane coupling agent (GPTMS), micro-phase separated microstructure in the hybrid could be observed due to insufficient interfacial attraction or possibility of polymerization reaction of epoxide ring in GPTMS. The oxygen barrier property of the mono-layer coated BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) film was examined for the hybrids containing various GPTMS contents. Consequently, it is revealed that GPTMS should be used in an optimum level of content to produce the high barrier EVOH/SiO2 hybrid material with an improved optical transparency and homogeneous phase morphology.

본 연구에서는 나노기술을 이용하여 에너지 감쇄 기능을 활용한 내진용 감쇄기 개발에 대한 연구를 하였다. 구조물에 사용되는 기존의 유체 감쇄기를 대체하는 무기재료를 이용한 새로운 감쇄기에 대한 기초적 연구를 하였다. 완충역할을 하는 입자로는 미로구조를 가지는 실리카겔을 사용하였으며, 입자에 관련한 작동 유체로는 물을 사용하여 그 효과를 검증하였다. 콜로이드 감쇄기를 구현하기 위해서는 형성된 실리카 겔 입자의 표면을 유기 실리콘 매질을 이용한 소수화 코팅 처리를 하였다. 콜로이드 감쇄기의 이력곡선은 서로 다른 소수화 코팅 처리가 된 입자의 혼합과 소수화 처리시의 분자간 거리에 의해서 조절이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 콜로이드 감쇄기의 에너지 소산양은 상이한 소수화 처리 정도와 서로 코팅처리량이 서로 다른 재료를 혼합함으로써 제어 할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 기존의 유압 감쇄기에서는 나타나지 않는 이러한 특징은 콜로이드 감쇄기가 충격 흡수 장치로 사용 가능하다는 사실을 입증한다.

In this study we propose an effective method, Coating processing methods, which can improve the quality of recycled aggregate relatively easily without new equipment investment and complex treatment process and verify the improved effect using the devised method, Coating processing methods. To attain the research aim we used adequately diluted silicate solution for coating and carried out several property valuation for twelve types of material with different coating method. Also we formed concrete with coated aggregates which showed the best property. In conclusion the aggregates with the method of repeated impregnation in the silicate and drying showed the most excellent quality while other coating methods also resulted in an improvement of aggregate quality but failed to meet the KS Standard. Lastly with the optimal material we could obtain the approved compressive strength from the concrete allowing it to be utilized for road facility of which standard compressive strength of design is under 24MPa.
