Zirconium nitride (ZrN)는 높은 열적, 화학적 특성과 우수한 기계적 강도, 낮은 전기 저항성 때문에 절삭공구, 의료용품 등으로 널리 사용된다. 특히 물리증착법 (PVD)으로 증착 할 경우 실제 hardness보다 높은 특성을 가지고 내마모성과 고온에서 hardness가 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 실험에서는 물리증착법 중 하나인 rf magnetron sputter를 사용하여 질소 유량에 따른 zirconium nitride 박막을 증착하였다. 그 후, $600^{\circ}C$, N2 분위기에서 후열처리를 진행하였고, 후열처리에 따른 박막의 nano-electrotribology 특성 변화를 관찰하기 위해 nano-indenter를 사용하였다. 측정결과, 질소 유량이 0, 0.5, 5 sccm으로 변함에 따라 증착된 박막의 hardness는 18.62, 15.64, 13.58 GPa로 각각 감소되었으며, elastic moduls도 210.43, 185.15, 171.52 GPa로 감소하였다. 이는 증착 과정에서 과포화된 N2 가 후열처리 과정에서 빠져 나오는 것으로 알 수 있다.

염료감응형 태양전지(Dye Sensitized Solar Cells; DSSC)에서 투명전극(Transparent Conducting Oxide; TCO)으로 사용되는 ITO, FTO의 경우 자원의 희소성과 고온에 취약하며 취성과 같은 단점 등이 있다. Graphene은 단원자층의 얇은 물질로써 우수한 전도도와 투과도, 고강도와 고탄성의 특성들을 가진다. 이러한 특성들을 가지는 Graphene을 기존의 투명전극을 대체하여 DSSC의 작업전극에 적용 하였다. 본 실험에서 사용된 그래핀 시트는 근적외선을 source로 하는 RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing)장비에 탄화수소 기반의 gas를 주입하여 Ni위에 성장시켰으며, 습식방법인 용액Etching 방식을 사용하여 유리판 위에 전사시켰다. 전사된 Graphene 투명전극의 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성을 평가하기 위해 4 point probe, FT-IR, 마이크로 Raman분광법, 광학현미경 및 투과도를 측정하여 평가 하였다. 전사된 Graphene 투명전극을 염료감응형 태양전지 작업전극에 적용하여, DSSC소자를 제작하고, Solar Simulator로 광전변환효율 및 EIS(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy)를 측정하여 기존의 FTO로 만든 DSSC와 비교하였다.

This study investigates the compressive strength of high-strength cement composites with 64 mixture designs and 2 curing conditions. The cement composites were designed with varying water-to-binder ratios, silica fume content to cement, and binder content per unit volume of cement composite to explore compressive strength development depending on its mix design. An increase in the water-to-binder ratio decreased the compressive strength of the composites, having consistency with the trend in normal concrete. The compressive strength increased with ages at an ambient curing temperature, but it was not identified at high-temperature curing. The compressive strength development was negligible in case that silica fume content to OPC is 15%~25%, but a decrease in the con ten t below 15% reduced compressive stren gth. It was more obvious in the specimen of low water-to-binder ratio. The specimen with 840kg/m³ of binder content per unit volume had the highest compressive strength in this study, and the decrease in binder content reduced the compressive strength of high strength cement composites in low silica fume content.

In this study, blast furnace slag powder was used in concrete to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to recycle industrial waste. Blast furnace slag powder is a byproduct of smelting pig iron and is obtained by rapidly cooling molten high-temperature blast furnace slag. The powder has been used as an admixture for cement and concrete because of its high reactivity. Using fine blast furnace slag powders in concrete can reduce hydration heat, suppress temperature increases, improve long-term strength, improve durability by increasing watertightness, and inhibit corrosion of reinforcing bars by limiting chloride ion penetration. However, it has not been used much due to its low compressive strength at an early age. Therefore, this study evaluates the effects of steam curing for increasing the initial strength development of concrete made using slag powder. The relationship between compressive strength, SEM observations, and XRD measurements was also investigated. The concrete made with 30% powder showed the best performance. The steam curing seems to affect the compressive strength by destroying the coating on the powder and by producing hydrates such as ettringite and Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate gel.

In this study, the damages of high strength concrete exposed to high temperature have been evaluated by the impact echo method. Elastic wave velocity and dynamic modulus of elasticity were measured by the impact echo method, and the compressive strength and the static modulus of elasticity were measured by the compression testing method after exposure to high temperature. The results showed that elastic wave velocity has a linear correlation with the compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity has a linear correlation with static modulus of elasticity. Based on results, it is concluded that the impact echo method can be effectively applied to evaluate the mechanical properties of fire damaged high strength concrete.

In order to use Pitch pine (Pinus rigida Miller) as the material of the structural glued laminated timber, the effect of the amount of resin exudation due to storage time after the planning and the knot of the lamina were evaluated on the bonding properties of the glued board with resorcinol resin. For Pitch pine that was dried at high temperature ($120{\sim}95^{\circ}C$) and low temperature ($65{\sim}50^{\circ}C$), the flat sawn(tangential section) showed higher amount of resin exudation than the quarter sawn(radial section). And the low temperature drying wood showed higher resin exudation than the high temperature drying wood. The low and high temperature drying wood showed the highest amount of resin exudation on the 3rd day and 7th day, respectively and they were gradually decreased. However, there were no significant differences from 15 to 90 days. Adhesion performances were low until 2~3 days with high exudation of resin, but there were no significant differences after 15 days. Both high temperature and low temperature drying woods satisfied the Korean standard regardless of the storage time. The adhesive strengths of the laminating parts including knots were higher than those of KS criteria, but the wood failures were not satisfied the KS standard. Adhesive performances according to the laminating combinations (quarter sawn + quarter sawn, flat sawn + flat sawn, quarter sawn + flat sawn) were better than those of KS criteria in all laminating combinations in both high temperature and low temperature drying woods.

A literature review on the effects of high temperature and radiation on radiation shielding concrete in Spent Fuel Dry Storage is presented in this study with a focus on concrete degradation. The general threshold is $95^{\circ}C$ for preventing long-term degradation from high temperature, and it is suggested that the temperature gradient should be less than $60^{\circ}C$ to avoid crack generation in concrete structures. The amount of damage depends on the characteristics of the concrete mixture, and increases with the temperature and exposure time. The tensile strength of concrete is more susceptible than the compressive strength to degradation due to high temperature. Nuclear heating from radiation can be neglected under an incident energy flux density of $10^{10}MeV{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Neutron radiation of >$10^{19}n{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ or an integrated dose of gamma radiation exceeding $10^{10}$ rads can cause a reduction in the compressive and tensile strengths and the elastic moduli. When concrete is highly irradiated, changes in the mechanical properties are primarily caused by variation in water content resulting from high temperature, volume expansion, and crack generation. It is necessary to fully utilize previous research for effective technology development and licensing of a Korean dry storage system. This study can serve as important baseline data for developing domestic technology with regard to concrete casks of an SF (Spent Fuel) dry storage system.

Domestic seaweeds Gracilaria verrucosa collected from coastal areas of Namhae, Wando and Yeosoo, Korea were subjected to the examination of yield and quality of agar prepared according to various pretreatment conditions. In alkali treatment at high temperature, higher alkali concentration for one-hour period at $90^{\circ}C$ gave rise to higher yield of agar. In acid treatment, higher yield was obtained by higher acid concentration and longer treating period. Alkali treatment at room temperature gave rise to a slightly decreased yield at higher alkali concentration and longer treating time. Total nitrogen and crude ash of agar samples were greatly decreased by pretreatments. Jelly strength, gelation ability, gelation point and viscosity of agar samples tended to increase as the alkali-treating condition of seaweed became stronger. It was shown that sulfur content of agar had a high negative correlation with jelly strength of its gel. Various alkali treatments of seaweed at room temperature showed no marked difference in agar quality and did not exhibit any good effect comparable to alkali treatment at high temperature.

When reinforced concrete structures are exposed to fire, their mechanical properties such as compressive strength, elasticity coefficient and rebar yield strength, are degraded. Therefore, the structure's damage assessment is essential in determining whether to dismantle or augment the structure after a fire. In this study, the confinement effect of lateral reinforcement of RC column according to the numbers of fire exposure face and stirrup was verified by fire resistant test with the heating temperatures of $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. The test results showed that the peak stress decreases and peak strain increases as the temperature is getting higher, also transverse ties are helpful in improving the compressive resistance of concrete subjected to high temperature. Based on the results of this study, the residual stress of confined concrete under thermal damage is higher at the condition of more lateral reinforcement ratio and less fire exposure faces. The decreasing ratio of elastic modulus of more confined and less exposure faces from the relationship of load and displacement was also smaller than that of opposite conditions.

고체구조와 절연파괴의 관계를 확실하게 알아보기 위하여 온도 100[.deg.C]의 실리콘유 내에서 1시간 열처리한 시료에 대해서 직류(DC)와 임펄스 절연파괴특성을 검토했다. 시료의 결정화도는 적외선 흡수와 X선 회절실험 측정방법으로 평가했으며 그리고 시료의 결정립크기와 분상은 시차주사 열량측정을 이용하였다. 실험결과 결정화도의 크기는 서냉, 수냉, 원시료 그리고 급냉시료 순으로 적어짐을 확인하였고 각각 70.23[%], 61.6[%], 56.75[%] 및 34.7[%]를 얻었다. 온도 30, 50[.deg.C]에서 임펄스 절연파괴특성은 결정화도의 감소에 따라 높아지는데 이것은 전자열적파괴를 시사하고 있다. 그리고 온도의 증가에 따라 임펄스 절연파괴강도는 감소되는데 이것은 Frohlich-type의 파괴이론을 제시한다. 또한 직류절연파괴는 저온영역에서 결정화도에 거의 의존하지 않지만 그러나 고온영역에서는 약간 의존한다.
