The catalytic glycolysis process is the method of chemical recycling where the polyol and carbamate compounds recovered by transesterification reaction are reused to produce new polyurethane foams. In this work, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and 1,4-butanediol were used to decompose polyurethane foams and various metallic acetates were provided as catalysts. The catalytic glycolsis of polyurethane foams was taken place in the reaction temperature of $180{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. The reaction rates of catalytic glycolysis reaction were indicated by the viscosity of the reaction products at different reaction times. IR and GPC analysis showed the types and the molecular weight distributions of the products. The catalytic glycolysis was profitable for using ethyleneglycol at high temperature. The activities of the catalysts are suitable for K, Na, Tl acetate, and the products are composed of comparatively high-contained amine compounds and carbamate compounds. In the case of Sr acetate and Quinoline, the reaction rate was somewhat low. However, the content of polyol was high and the content of the side-products was low. The foams which were prepared by blending up to 20wt% of recovered polyol with virgin polyols showed better physical properties in tensile strength, hardness, tear strength, and compressive strength compared to those of polyurethane foams from virgin polyol.

Laminate composites, especially Carbon fiber-reinforced composites are wide used in various industry such as aerospace and automotive industry due to their high specific strength and specific stiffness. However, the laminate composites has a big disadvantage that delamination occurs because the arrangement of the fibers is all arranged in the in-plane direction, which limits the field of application of the laminate composites. In this study, we first developed a laminate composites T-beam in which π-beam and flat plate were combined and optimized the design parameters through structural analysis and mechanical tests. Afterwards, 3D weave preform T-beam was developed by applying the same design parameters of laminate composites T-beams, and improved mechanical strength was achieved compared to laminated structures. These findings are expected to be applicable to existing laminated composite structures that require increased strength.

Filtration studies, using simulated test nanoparticles or diesel nanoparticles, have been performed about Inconel foam filters for DPF combined with electrostatic precipitation. The simulated test particles were synthesized by laser ablation in the nitrogen atmosphere at the standard condition. The diesel particles were exhausted from the diesel engine driven on the condition of idle or load mode. Filtration efficiency of the metal foam filter is very low because most of particles are penetrated through the large pores of filter. However, the efficiency was considerably improved by applying the electric field to the filter and/or charging the nanoparticles. Nevertheless, the pressure drop of filter hardly increased because the filter-pores were not clogged by deposited particles and kept open.

The emission standards for diesel particulates have been continued to become tighter. This article reviews the pore and how to filtering characteristics and how to design the ceramic honeycomb filter which is generally used for diesel particulate filter. And the properties and fabrication methods of other particulate filters, i.e. ceramic fiber candle filter, ceramic foam filter, ceramic cross-flow filter and metal filter, are presented in this review. The results show that though the various filters have been developed and tested in the field, the more efforts are needed for the commercilaization of the diesel particulate filter.

Nickel-based and iron-based alloys have been developed and commercialized for a wide range of high performance applications at severely corrosive and high temperature environment. This alloy foam has an outstanding performance which is predestinated for diesel particulate filters, heat exchangers, and catalyst support, noise absorbers, battery, fuel cell, and flame distributers in burners in chemical and automotive industry. Production of alloy foam starts from high-tech coating technology and heat treatment of transient liquid-phase sintering in the high temperature. These technology allow for preparation of a wide variety of foam compositions such as Ni, Cr, Al, Fe on various pore size of pure nickel foam or iron foam in order for tailoring material properties to a specific application.

본 연구는 이전 연구에서 500KW급 중형 수평축 발전기를 설계하였던 경험을 토대로 750KW급 대형 수평축 풍력발전용 복합재 회전날개를 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 회전날개의 대형화에 따른 구조강도 확보 및 경량화 문제를 해결하기 위해 날개의 단면구조를 변경하였고, 주 하중을 받는 스파부분을 보강하였으며, 취급이 어렵고 가격이 비싼 노맥스 허니컴 대신에 폼을 사용한 샌드위치 구조를 적용하였다. 또한 경량화를 위해 금속재 플렌지형 허브부분 접합방식을 삽입볼트 접합방식으로 구조 설계를 변경하였다. 이러한 복합재 회전날개의 구조적 안정성을 확인하기 위해 상용 유한요소 해석 코드인 NISA II를 사용하였으며, 선형정적해석, 고유진동수해석, 국부 좌굴해석 등을 수행하여, 무게의 증가는 최대한 억제하면서 대형화에 따른 구조강도의 확보가 이루어졌음을 확인하였고, 피로수명해석을 통하여 20년 이상의 요구 수명을 만족함을 확인하였다.

샌드위치 복합재는 단일 부재의 금속재나 복합재에 비해 높은 비강성과 비강도를 얻을 수 있을 뿐 아니라 면재와 코아를 적절하게 조합하면 우수한 피로특성, 단열성, 흡음성 등을 얻을 수 있기 때문에 항공기, 철도차량, 선박, 냉동컨테이너, 건축재 등에 널리 활용되고 있다. 대부분의 샌드위치 복합재는 면재와 코아를 일차 또는 이차 선착을 통해 제작하기 때문에 운용 중 샌드위치 복합재에 가해질 수 있는 충격하중 등으로 인해 면재와 코아 사이의 층간분리, 면재의 인장파괴, 코아의 압축파괴, 코아의 진단파괴 등과 같은 손상이 생길 우려가 있다. 최근에는 샌드위치 복합재가 갖는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방편으로 코아의 양면에 부착된 면재들을 코아의 두께방향으로 스티칭함으로써 서로 일체형으로 결합시킨 형태인 스티칭된 샌드위치 복합재의 개발이 시도되고 있다.

In this study, PU-LMO was made by immobilization of LMO on urethane foam (PU) with using an EVA as a binder. PU-LMO was characterized by using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The optimal ratio of EVA/LMO for preparation of PU-LMO was 0.26 gEVA/gLMO. The adsorption of lithium ions by PU-LMO was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium data fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum removal capacity of lithium ions was 17.09 mg/g. The PU-LMO was found to have a remarkably high selectivity of lithium ions and high adsorption capacity because the distribution coefficient ($K_d$) of lithium ion was higher than those of other metal ions.

This paper describes the optimum design of bolt locations for metal joint parts of railway bogie frame made of glass fiber/epoxy 4-harness satin woven laminate composite and PVC foam core. The optimum design analysis was done by sub-problem approximation method using Ansys Parameter Design Language(APDL). The sub-modeling method was introduced to conduct the detailed recalculation for the only target parts and reduce calculating time. The structural analysis for composite bogie frame was performed according to JIS E 4207. The results showed that the optimum design analysis using sub-modeling method was able to obtain faster and more precise results than that of the entire model by the control of mesh size for the target parts, and the maximum Von-Mises stress has been reduced in comparison with its original dimensions due to the optimum design of bolt locations.
