A new water-soluble and self-doped poly(styrenesulfonic acid-graft-aniline), PSSA-g-PANI, for dispersing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in water was synthesized and its ability to stabilize aqueous CNT dispersions was examined. It was observed that the PANI in PSSA-g-PANI, which has benzoid and quinoid structure, was strongly adsorbed onto the nanotube surface via a strong ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction, and thus only gentle sonication causes exfoliation of CNT ropes to small bundles and the long-term stability of their resulting dispersions was much better than commercial surfactants. Furthermore, when thin films of PSSA-g-PANI/CNT are prepared from aqueous dispersion and their electrical conductivities are measured by the four probe technique, it is observed that their conductivities are in the range of 1.5-2.5 S/cm.

Most of finite difference numerical models for the simulation of tsunami propagation developed so for are based on the shallow-water equations which are frequently solved by the leap-frog scheme. If the grid size is properly selected, this numerical scheme gives a correct dispersion effect fur constant water depth. However, if the water depth changes, the dispersion effect of tsunamis can not be accurately considered at every grid point in the whole computational domain. In this study we improved the existing two-dimensional dispersion-correction finite difference numerical scheme. The present scheme satisfies the local dispersion relationships of tsunamis propagating over a slowly varying topography while using uniform grid size and time step. To verify the applicability of the improved numerical model, a tsunami due to 1983 East Sea central earthquake is simulated for Korean harbors with the tide gage records such as Sokcho, Mukho, Pohang and Ulsan in the East Sea. Numerical results of the 1983 tsunami are compared with the measured data and the accuracy of the present numerical model is evaluated.

Microwave(2.45 GHz) was used as energy source in hydrothermal reaction to fabricate ultrafine BaTiO3 powder. Using microwave of 700 W, crytal BaTiO3 began to fom after 5 min in microwave-autoclave sys-tem. The crystallinity was not noticeably increased with increasing longer reaction time than 10 min. On the other hand in microwave-reflux system crytal BaTiO3 began to form after 15min and the crystallinity was not noticeably increased with increasing longer reaction time than 1hr,. In either case particle size dis-tribution was considerably uniform due to the effect of homogeneous heating by microwave. In addition mi-crowave heating gave an extremely small degree of particle agglomeration compared to electric heating. Av-erage sizes of as-synthesized powders were 30-60nm. Ba/Ti ratio in sol played an important role in det-ermining the particle size. It seems that excess barium forms different phases such as Ba(OH)2 which makes thin layer on the surface of BaTiO3 powder. This thin layer would inhibit the agglomeration of Ba-TiO3 powders and keep the small grain size. In microwave-autoclave system tetragonal-BaTiO3 was formed directly by the reaction of only 15 min. In the case of microwave-reflux system tetragonal-BaTiO3 was formed by driyng over 25$0^{\circ}C$.

The high rising building construction makes increasing the requirement of high strength concrete. Especially, the workability analysis is related with dispersion of admixture such as SF for improving strength and FA, BS for reducing construction cost and improving durability of Ultra High Strength Concrete which has over 100 MPa of compressive strength is very important. Precisely, decreases dispersion because of lumping situation of each admixture and it causes the workability of admixture is decreased. Therefore, the workability of cement paste is tested for analyze effects of pre-mixed cement for solving those problems with it to this research. The summary of the results are like below. First of all, OBS is increasing workability more than OFS. This result causes that the glassy surface of BS in the OBS is increasing workability and the absorption of admixture of FA in the OFS is decreasing workability. In the case of mixing methods, pre-mixing method is increasing workability more than normal one. This result shows that the normal mixing method is bad dispersion of binders. The other side, the pre-mixing method is good. Furthermore, depending on the mixing time, according to the increasing mixing time such as 30, 60, and 120 seconds, the dispersion of binders and workability turns better.

This paper investigates the impact of fiber dispersion on the internal structure and mechanical strength of SiC_f/SiC composites manufactured using spread SiC fibers. The fiber volume ratio of the specimen to which spread SiC fiber was applied decreased by 9%p compared to the non-spread specimen, and the resin slurry impregnated between the fibers more smoothly, resulting in minimal matrix porosity. In order to compare the fiber dispersion of each specimen, a method was proposed to quantify and evaluate the separation distance between fibers in composite materials. The results showed that the distance between fibers in the spread specimen increased by 2.23 ㎛ compared to the non-spread specimen, with a significant 42.6% increase in the distance between fiber surfaces. Furthermore, the 3pt bending test demonstrated a 49.3% higher flexural strength in the spread specimen, accompanied by a more uniform deviation in test data. These findings highlight the significant influence of SiC fiber dispersion on achieving uniform densification of the SiC_f/SiC matrix and increasing mechanical strength.

This study aimed to prepare antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) dispersion with high stability. The methods to achieve this goal were sought by investigating the changes of ATO particle size, size distribution, dispersion property as wet ball milling treatment time increased. And the changes of wet ball milled ATO dispersion property were also investigated, as pH increased. The changes of ATO particle size and size distribution, according to wet ball milling treatment time were evaluated with laser diffraction particle size analyzer and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The changes of ATO dispersion property, as wet ball milling treatment time and pH increased, were evaluated with zeta potential analysis and Turbiscan. By 60 min wet ball milling treatment time, ATO particle size decreased and size distribution became narrower, as the treatment time increased. After 60 min milling, the ATO particle size decreased to less than 30% of the initial size and the size distribution was narrowed to $0.1{\sim}5{\mu}m$ from $1{\sim}35{\mu}m$. However, more than 60 min milling, ATO particles aggregated and the particle size increased. ATO dispersion stability also increased as the treatment time and pH increased because the reduced particle size increased particle surface energy and repulsion between particles and the increased pH enhanced particle surface ionization. Hence, after proper length of wet ball milling treatment, highly stable ATO dispersion can be prepared, as increasing pH of the dispersion.

주택 혹 산업용, 공공건물용으로 상용화 되어 있는 스트링 어레이 중앙 인버터 방식은 고압의 DC 배선으로 인한 안전문제, 고가의 고압 DC 차단기의 설치 및 과전압보호기 등으로 가격이 상승하게 되고 설치 시에도 패널간 균일 성능을 보장해야하고 스트링 상에 놓여 있는 패널 일부가 불량이거나 그림자가 져서 발전이 미비할 경우 전체 시스템 발전이 정지하거나 발전량이 미비해지는 문제가 생기므로 항상 최적의 상태로 운전할 수 없다. 그래서 이러한 태양광 발전 방식의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 각 모듈마다 마이크로 인버터를 장착하여 각각 패널마다 분산적인 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 를 수행할 수 있고 DC 배선이 없기 때문에 시스템 설치비용을 획기적으로 절감할 수 있으며 안정성 문제도 중앙 인버터 방식보다 획기적으로 향상된다. 패널 또는 인버터 고장 시 전체 시스템의 차단 없이 교체가 가능 하여 시스템의 설비 이용률을 최대로 할 수 있다. 이러한 패널에 쓰이는 마이크로 인버터를 PSIM으로 구현하여 DLL로 통해 디지털 제어로 구현을 하고 시뮬레이션으로 통해 시스템의 효능을 알아보았다.

본 논문에서는 나노하이브리드 방법으로 제조된 변성 폴리이드계 나노하이브리드 절연코팅의 표면 굴곡특성을 비교 연구하였다. CS로 나노하이브리드화된 수지의 코팅표면의 표면거칠기를 AFM 으로 분석하여 그 변화를 비교하였다. CS로 처리된 나노하이브리드 코팅면의 경우 기초수지의 코팅면과 비교하여 기저재료와 상관없이 표면 거칠기는 현저히 줄어드는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 20nm 이하의 균일한 CS입자가 균일하게 분산되어 수지 내에 자리하므로 기저물질의 거칠기를 보완하는 역할을 하기 때문으로 분석된다.
