본 연구의 목적은 그래핀(Graphene)을 사용하여 폴리우레탄 나노웹(Polyurethane Nanoweb)에 전기전도성을 부여하고, 이를 이용하여 나노웹 기반의 스트레인센서(Strain Sensor)를 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 1% 그래핀 잉크를 폴리우레탄 나노웹에 푸어코팅(Pour-coating)한 후 PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane)로 후처리를 하여 착용 가능한 스트레 인센서를 완성하였다. 시료 표면에 전도성 물질이 잘 코팅되었는지 확인하기 위해 전계방사형 주사전자현미경 (FE-SEM)를 이용하여 시료의 표면 특성을 평가하였다. 시료의 전기적 특성 평가는 멀티미터(Multimeter)를 사용하여 시료의 선저항(Linear Resistance)을 측정하고, 시료를 각각 5%, 10% 인장하였을 때 선저항이 어떻게 변하는지 비교하였다. 또한 시료의 성능을 평가하고자 게이지율(Gauge Factor)을 구하였다. 착의평가 실험은 완성된 스트레인센서를 더미에 착용시킨 후 MP150(Biopac system Inc., U.S.A.)과 Acqknowledge(ver. 4.2, Biopac system Inc., U.S.A.)를 사용해 인장에 따른 호흡신호를 측정하였다. 표면 특성을 평가한 결과, 모든 전도성 나노웹 시료들이 그래핀 잉크로 균일하게 코팅되어있음을 확인하였다. 인장에 따른 저항값 측정 결과, 그래핀을 처리한 시료인 시료 G가 가장 낮은 저항값을, 그래핀을 처리한 후 열처리를 한 시료인 시료 G-H가 가장 높은 저항값을 가졌고, 시료 G와 시료 G-H의 경우 길이가 5%, 10%로 늘어남에도 선저항값의 변화가 안정적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 저항값 결과와는 달리, 시료 G가 시료 G-H보다 더 높은 게이지율을 보였다. 실제로 착의평가 결과, 시료 G-H를 이용해 만든 스트레인센서가 안정된 Peak값으로 측정되어 좋은 품질의 신호를 얻었다. 그러므로 본 연구를 통해 그래핀 잉크를 처리한 폴리우레탄 나노웹이 호흡 센서로서의 역할을 충분히 수행하는 것을 확인하였다.

Along with industrial development, various architectural structures have become bigger and higher, leading to an expansion in the size and capacity of construction equipment. And with the development of public transportation, the use of subways as a means of transportation in the city center is increasing, so that vibrations and structural noises are emerging as a new environmental issue. Considering that architectural structures may be used from several decades to hundreds of years after the time of construction, they can be seen as semi-permanent. Due to changes in the vibration-proof polyurethane mats installed in the foundation of these structures, settling may occur and vibration reduction may become inadequate. Therefore, in view of service life, it is necessary to have a high-level standard of reliability and stability. In accordance with this, the Floating Floor System, which uses soft polyurethane foam and can be constructed within a relatively short period of time, has excellent vibration resistant characteristics. It is presented as a great alternative solution to the issue of vibrations caused by subways, railways and building structures. At present, vibration-proof polyurethane mats have been developed up to the same product level as in other advanced countries. However, in the construction of structure foundations, the physical properties of this product and its shape incur changes. If they are installed as such in the structure of a building, it may cause significant impact on stability, requiring that this cause be urgently identified and improved.

In this study, 2-hedroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) was graft synthesized on water-dispersed polyurethane using polytetramethylene ether glycoll (PTMG), and then the film of resin was prepared and the physical properties of polyurethane resin were measured. The mechanical properties of the synthesized polyurethane resin were measured by using FT-IR, UTM, adhesion performance measuring instrument. As a result of tensile strength measurement, the tensile strength of HPUD4 with high 2-HEMA content was increased to 5.05 kgf / ㎟, the elongation was measured as 285% of the HPUD1 sample not containing 2-HEMA and adhesive strength of HPUD4 sample was measured at 9.1 sec to 635 psi.

Accompanied with the industrial development, and enlarging and heightening buildings, building equipments are also enlarging. These changes are serious to the cause of structure noises. The Floating Floor System which uses the soft foam polyurethane are becoming popular in construction areas for its short construction period and well vibration proof ability, hence it is becoming wide in the marketing volume. We were able to enhance the physical characteristics of the vibration proof polyurethane mat with this study. As a result, we were also able to secure material competitiveness by meeting the requirements of customer satisfaction through enhancement in estimated material lifetime and physical characteristics.

In this study, the amount of abrasive wear was predicted effectively by FE simulation and experiment regarding the material and shape of the abrasive. In order to calculate numerically the amount of wear using the Archard wear equation, the normal load between the abrasive and the polyurethane was calculated by FE simulation. The sliding distance can be calculated according to the working conditions, and the hardness of the polyurethane is a known value. The wear coefficient K was calculated inversely by experimental measurement of the wear amount according to the working conditions of the abrasive. In order to verify the proposed calculation method, the wear amount was calculated by using the Archard wear equation by applying the calculated wear coefficient K with regard to arbitrary working conditions. The deviation between the proposed calculation results and the experimental results was within 10%. When the wear coefficient K is calculated by using the proposed method, the wear amount can be estimated. In addition, it was found that the change of the vertical load value concerning penetration depth was the main factor for determining wear amount.

Recently, Oil spill incidents from maritime activities and port operation have been causing the serious ocean environment pollution, these problems are said to be the negative effects on the natural environment, social economy, marine species, and human health. Due to the high costs of treating oil spills and oil slick in comparison with a low-income country like Vietnam, many incidents related to the oil spill and oil slick have not been thoroughly processed. Cellulose components from Vietnamese agricultural residues used to produce the absorbent materials are one of the most urgent issues and this is the research object of this work. In this study, two types of structural lengths of cellulose added into PU matrix foam are used to measure how much crude oil, fuel oil, diesel oil and kerosene can be absorbed. The absorbent materials are designed after adding cellulose with 5%, 15%, 25% of mass, respectively. The achieved results show that the oil absorption capacity of PU-cellulose implemented 5% cellulose with 500μm of cellulose structure length and 25% cellulose with 3000μm of cellulose structure length are highest for crude oil. These study results from this work provide a reasonable price for the protection of the marine environment in the strategies of recovery and treatment of oil spill and oil slick on the seawater surface.

구조물의 내풍성능을 개선하기 위하여 지난 수 십 년간 진동제어장치가 사용되어 왔다. 진동제어장치는 구조물의 등가감쇠비를 증가시킴으로써 진동에 대한 저항성을 증가시키는 효율적인 방안이지만, 설치와 운영에 많은 비용이 요구되고 있다. 진동제어장치와 등등한 감쇠효과를 가지면서 영구적으로 구조물 자체의 감쇠비를 증가시키기 위한 고감쇠 물질에 대한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 굵은 골재에 폴리우레탄이 코팅된 고감쇠 콘크리트 재료의 감쇠성능을 평가하기 위한 실험과 분석이 이루어졌다. 고감쇠 물질로 제조된 단순보에 대한 자유진동실험을 수행하여 각 모드별 특성을 파악하였으며 특히 감쇠비를 추정하여 감쇠물질에 의한 감쇠증가량을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 비교평가를 위하여 기존 콘크리트 재료로 제조된 보에 대한 실험 또한 병행하여 수행되었다. 모드 분석에 의한 감쇠비 추정결과 고감쇠 보는 각 모드별 약 10%의 감쇠비를 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 일반 보의 감쇠비 1%에 비 하여 매우 높은 감쇠증가량을 보이고 있다. 이러한 결과로부터 폴리우레탄 코팅 고감쇠 재료를 이용하여 구조물의 감쇠성능확보가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Polyurethane 중합에 있어서 isocyanate 경화제인 H12MDI와 IPDI의 혼합비율에 따른 물성변화를 조사하여, H12MDI 를 사용한 polyurethane resin은 단단하여 가공성 시험에서 밴딩 시 crack 발생이 심하게 일어났으며 IPDI는 비대칭적인 구조로 인하여 polyurethane resin의 구조가 얽혀 유연성을 가지므로 crack이 발생하지 않은 것으로 보인다. IPDI의 가교 도가 높아 혼합비율이 증가할수록 가공성, 내마모성, 내용제성에서도 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 반면에, H12MDI의 혼합비 율이 높은 polyurethane resin은 코팅피막이 단단하여 내오염성에서는 우수한 결과를 얻었지만, 오히려 내용제성, 내마모성에서는 취약함을 나타냈으며 적외선 분광 스펙트럼 분석 결과와 실제 점도 경시변화를 관찰한 결과 H12MDI의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 보관 안정성은 높았으며, IPDI의 혼합비율이 높을수록 보관 안정성은 낮았다.

Porous materials such as polymeric foam are widely adopted in engineering and biomedical fields. Porous materials often exhibit complex nonlinear behaviors and are sensitive to material and environmental factors including cell size and shape, amount of porosity, and temperature, which are influenced by the type of base materials, reinforcements, method of fabrication, etc. Hence, the material characteristics of porous materials such as compressive stress-strain behavior and void volume fraction according to aforementioned factors should be precisely identified. In this study, unconfined uniaxial compressive test for two types of closed-cell structure polyurethane foam, namely, 0.16 and 0.32 g/cm3 of densities were carried out. In addition, the void volume fraction of three different domains, namely, center, surface and buckling regions under various compressive strains (10%, 30 %, 50 % and 70 %) were quantitatively observed using Micro 3D Computed Tomography(micro-CT) scanning system. Based on the experimental results, the relationship between compressive strain and void volume fraction with respect to cell size, density and boundary condition were investigated.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a source of air pollution and are harmful to both human health and the environment. In this study, we fabricated polyurethane/rare earth (PU/RE) composite nanofibrous membranes via electrospinning with the aim of removing VOCs from air. The morphological structure of PU/RE nanofibrous mats were investigated using FE-SEM, EDX, and XRD experimental analyses. A certain amount of RE (up to 50 wt% compared to PU pellets) particles could be loaded on/into PU fibers. The PU nanofiber containing 50 wt% RE powder had the smallest fiber diameter of 356 nm; it also showed the highest VOCs absorption capacity compared with other composite membranes, having an absorption capacity about 3 times greater than pure PU nanofibers. In addition, all of the PU/RE nanofibrous membranes readily absorbed styrene the most, followed by xylene, toluene, benzene and chloroform. Therefore, the PU/RE nanofibrous membrane can play an important role in removing VOCs from the air, and its development prospects are impressive because they are emerging materials.

Polyurethane (PU) nanofibers containing graphene oxide (GO) and Ag doped functionalized reduced graphene oxide (Ag-RGO) were successfully prepared via the electrospinning technique. The uniform distribution of GO sheets along with Ag nanoparticle in the nanofibers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and the elemental mapping technique. X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis verified the presence of GO and Ag in the bicomposite nanofibrous mats. Antibacterial tests against Escherichia coli demonstrated that the addition of GO and Ag-RGO to the PU nanofiber greatly enhanced bactericidal efficiency. Overall, these features of the synthesized nanofibers make them a promising candidate material in the biomedical field for applications such as tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery systems.

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets with a developed porous structure were prepared from polyurethane foams by hydrothermal carbonization following ZnCl2 chemical activation. Scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheet structure and composition. The removal of Cr(VI) by the N-doped carbon nanosheets was investigated. The results showed that the maximum removal capacity for chromium of 188 mg/g was found at pH=2.0 with PHC-Z-3. pH had an important effect on Cr(VI) removal and the optimal pH was 2.0. Moreover, amino groups and carboxyl groups in the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheet played important roles in Cr(VI) removal, and promoted the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III).
