In this study, water glass was applied as a coating material to a rigid polyurethane foam to improve the flame-retardant properties of the foam. The heat release rate of the cone calorimeter of the urethane foam, in which the inorganic water-glass coating layer was applied, decreased rapidly. The water glass coated on the polyurethane surface formed a glassy foam by foaming with water, which did not escape during the vitrification reaction when the foam or glass was heated. The glassy foam formed on the polyurethane foam became a fire-resistant insulation layer that inhibited the combustion of the polyurethane foam for more than 10 min. Water glass was found to improve the flame-retardant properties of the rigid polyurethane foam.

The thermal control device using solid-liquid phase change material (PCM) is designed, manufactured, and experimented in thermal environment chamber. The n-Hexadecane is selected as a PCM and its melting point is placed within the component working temperature range. The PCM container is made of Al6061 and has the thermal spreading fins inside. To simulate the working condition for on-orbit satellite the heat pipes are used to connect the heater and radiator and the PCM thermal control device (PCMTD) is installed at the middle portion of heat pipes. The thermal buffer mass (TBM), which is same configuration and volume with PCMTD, is also manufactured to compare the thermal control performance. As a result, the PCMTD is not only more efficient than TBM in their temperature control features but both mass and power of compensation heater are reduced.

Evaluation on the test of actual concrete member to confirm the fire resistance of the concrete member using ultra-high strength concrete is required. However, test equipment which has large loading capacity is needed to the actual member experiment. So, many researchers evaluated the fire performance through analytical studies using the material models. This study experimentally evaluated strain properties on ultra-high-strength concrete of 80, 130 and 180 MPa with heating and examined to apply the existing strain model about ultra-high-strength concrete. As a results, constants are drawn by method of least squares applying experimental values and calculated values by the existing strain model, it proposed strain model that can be applied to ultra-high-strength concrete.

The method of concrete mix design used in this study aims to achieve the identical specified design strength, applying different types and replacement ratio of mineral admixtures and afterwards, fire tests were conducted using the standard time-temperature curve specified in the ASTM E119 to identify the influences of the types of mineral admixtures on the fire resistance performance of high strength concrete(HSC). The least spalling was observed in the test specimen containing blast furnace slag as a partial replacement of cement, while the most significant spalling phenomena were observed in the blast furnace slag test specimen that silica-fume was added in. In particular, the reasonable volume of spalling was observed when solely replaced by silica fume. However, the influence of the cement replacement by silica fume and blast furnace slag on the increases of spalling can be explained through blocked pores by the fine particles of silica fume, leading to decreases in permeability.

Concrete structures exposed to fire produce changes in their internal structure, resulting in their service life reduction due to the deterioration of its strength and performance capacity. The deterioration level are dependent on the temperature, exposure time, concrete mix proportions, aggregate property, and material properties. This study was performed to evaluate the thermal behavior of ultra-high strength concrete for the parameters of water to cement ratio (compressive strength), fine to total aggregate ratio, and maximum coarse aggregate size. At room temperature and $500^{\circ}C$, tests of ultrasonic pulse velocity, resonance frequency, static modulus of elasticity, and compressive strength are performed using ${\varnothing}100{\times}200\;mm$ cylindrical concrete specimens. The results showed that the residual mechanical properties of ultra-high strength concrete heated to $500^{\circ}C$ is influenced by variation of a water to binder ratio, fine to total aggregate ratio, and maximum coarse aggregate size.

Bypass air conditioning systems are divided into three types; outdoor air bypass, mixed air bypass and return air bypass system. Among bypass air conditioning systems, a return air bypass system is more effective than other two systems because it doesn't induce unconditioned outdoor air into conditioned room. The numerical study on the bypass air conditioning system shows this system can maintain indoor RH(Relative Humidity) less than a conventional CAV (Constant Air Volume) air conditioning system by adjusting face and bypass dampers at part load. A simulator was built to compare results of a numerical experiment and those of a simulator experiment. The results of the simulator experiment was nearly same as those of the numerical experiment; when a design sensible load (the ratio of sensible load to total sensible load) was 70 percent (at this time, RSHF=0.7), indoor relative humidity (in case of both numerical experiments and simulator experiments) was maintained below 60% specified by ASHRAE STANDARD 62-1999. The bypass air conditioning system is expected to be applied to many buildings where the Percentage of latent loads or air change tate is high.

The performance of a spark jet driven by pulsed-arc plasma was investigated experimentally for various energy input. A high-speed jet (about 330 m/s) was obtained by rapid gas heating produced by 37 mJ of deposited energy per pulse. The peak velocity and penetration distance of the jet were proportional to the deposited power and the deposited energy per pulse, respectively. A smaller orifice diameter produces a higher velocity jet at lower energy levels. For the same deposited energy, higher-current pulses produce a higher jet velocity than higher-pulse-width pulses. A total deposited energy of about 10 mJ per pulse with a pulse duration of about $10{\mu}s$ was found to be the optimum for energy- efficient operation.

In this study, we performed the deployment test of shape memory polymer specimens for space antenna design. Poly(cyclootene) was cross-linked by dicumyl peroxide to make a PCO shape memory polymer. A miniature specimen with 120 mm diameter for a deployable antenna was fabricated with the PCO shape memory polymer. To investigate the deployment performance, the folded specimen as a temporary shape was heated by two heaters to the $15^{\circ}C$ higher temperature than the glass transition temperature of shape memory polymer. Firstly, the specimen was installed horizontally and tested. The deploying motion was captured by a digital camera and analyzed by a Tracker program. To reduce the effects of gravity, the specimen was installed vertically and tested again. The deployment performance of a shape memory polymer was investigated by comparing the results of horizontal and vertical installation tests.

The unsaturated polyester(UP) and epoxy resin have a superior material properties and a chemical resistance using sewerage pipes rehabilitation. However, UP and epoxy have not a low temperatures harding, the requirement $8{\sim}11$ hours long times harding and heating system used by reinforcement liner. This study is to evaluate the effects of low temperature harding properties methyl methacrylate(MMA) monomer using expanded polystyrene(EPS) and UP in addition of initiator and promoters. From the test result, viscosity tends to increase with increasing EPS and UP contents. However, harding time change of the MMA resins which it follows in addition of the initiator and promoter.

압전폴리머 PVDF(polyvinylidene difluoride)의 기판소재를 기반으로 한 디스플레이 소자를 연구하였다. 압전 폴리머 PVDF의 양면은 두께 300nm정도의 ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)를 TCO(Transparent conducting oxide)로 R2R(roll to roll)증착하였으며, 이를 적외선 계열 Pulsed Laser로 상온 건식 에칭을 통해 패턴해내고, 이후 고진공 환경에서 Alq3 를 기반의 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. 전기적 신호에 대해서 기계적인 작동이 가능한 투명 압전 폴리머 재료를 디스플레이 발광소자의 기판 소재로 사용함으로써, 궁극적으로 발광기능과 더불어 압전효과에 의한 스피커 기능이 한 개의 개체내에서 독립적으로 구현될 수 있도록 설계하고, 기술적으로 실현시켰다는 점이 본 연구의 의의라고 할 수 있다. 이를 위해서, 섭씨 80도 이상의 온도에서 압전 성질을 상실하는 것으로 알려진 PVDF에 대해서 투명산화전극을 레이져를 이용한 비가열식 승화방법을 통해 패턴화하는 것을 사용했으며, 밀리미터 단위에서 수십 마이크로미터 수준까지 패턴화할 수 있었다. 제작된 복합형 유연 OLED소자는 기계적으로 휘어진 상태에서도 발광 성능과 스피커 성능을 각각 독립적으로 보였으며, Alq3에 의한 녹색발광을 보임을 확인하였고, 이 경우 양자효율은 약 3%이하의 값을 보였다. 또한 각주파수별 음압(SPL: Sound Pressure Level)측정 결과는 압번폴리머가 가청주파수 영역에서 작동함을 보였으며, 고주파영역에서의 SPL값이 증가하는 전형적인 PVDF사용 필름 스피커의 특성을 보였다. 이로부터 제작된 복합형 소자는 본 연구에서 제안된 목적에서 보인 것과 같이, 두 개의 기능이 서로간의 간섭없이 독립적으로 한 개의 개체 내에서 작동함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과로부터 새로운 유연 전자 소자에 대한 디자인 개념을 제시하고, 기타 다른 기능이 접합된 형태의 신개념 전자 소자를 제안하는 것도 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
