The purpose of this study was to predict the long-term performance using the interlaminar shear strength of carbon fiber/epoxy composites exposed to environmental factors. Interlaminar shear specimens, manufactured by the filament winding method, were exposed to the conditions of drying at $50^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, and $100^{\circ}C$ and of immersion at $25^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$ for up to 3000 hours, respectively. According to the results, the interlaminar shear strength did not vary significantly with the exposure time for the drying at $50^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$, but it increased somewhat for the drying at $100^{\circ}C$ due to the post curing as the exposure time increased. The interlaminar shear strength of the specimens exposed to the immersion at $25^{\circ}C$ did not change significantly at the beginning of exposure, but it decreased with the exposure time and the degree of decrease increased as the environmental temperature increased. The linear regression equations for the environmental temperatures were obtained from the interlaminar shear strength of the specimens exposed to the immersion for up to 3000 hours. Using these linear regression equations, the interlaminar shear strength was estimated to be within 5.5% of the measured value at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, and 2.3% of the measured value at $70^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the proposed performance prediction procedures can predict well the long-term interlaminar shear strength of carbon fiber/epoxy composites exposed to environmental factors.

디스플레이, 센서 등 전자소자는 소형화 단계를 지나 인체 부착형 소자로의 발전을 요구하고 있다. 인체 부착을 위해서는 민감한 피부에 장시간 부착시 무해성과 탈부착의 자유로움이 요구되기에 기존의 화학물질을 활용한 접착 방식에서 개코도마뱀 또는 딱정벌레 발바닥에서 영감을 얻은 자연모사형 건식 접착 방식에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 폴리머를 이용하여 자연모사형 마이크로/나노구조 형성은 기계적으로 가공된 금형 몰딩과 후처리를 통한 매우 복잡한 공정이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 복잡한 공정을 단순화하기 위해서 폴리머 소재에 플라즈마를 활용한 나노구조를 형성하는 방법을 소개하고자 하며, 건식 접착용 폴리머 소재(PMMA, PDMS)에 따른 표면구조 변화와 표면에너지 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 플라즈마 표면처리를 위해서 본 연구실에서 자체 개발한 선형이온소스를 활용하였으며 입사에너지, 노출시간, 사용가스에 따른 표면형상 변화를 주사전자현미경을 활용하여 관찰하였다. 또한 처리조건에 따른 표면에너지 변화를 확인하기 위해 물접촉각 변화를 측정하였다. PMMA는 입사에너지, 노출시간이 증가함에 따라 쉽게 나노기둥구조가 형성되었으나, 과도한 입사에너지 또는 노출시간에서는 표면구조가 에칭되면서 무너지는 것이 관찰되었다. 또한 PDMS는 동일한 조건에서 주름구조 형태를 보였으며 노출시간이 증가할수록 주름구조의 간격이 늘어남을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 나노 구조를 쉽게 제어할 수 있는 PMMA가 피부 부착형 접착 패치에 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The characteristics and structures of photopolymer are analyzed in this paper, which recently have various applications in optical information processing and optical memory, Especially, Du Pont's photopolymer OmniDex 706 reflection film is used in many experiments of different exposures and incident angles, and analyzed by the diffraction pattern generated by glass plate's reflection beam. With the dark reaction of the monomer in photopolymerization, dynamic parameters are considered due to the variation of exposure time and diffusion time delay after exposure. The performance of diffraction efficiency is improved by 10%, when an exposure time is 6.25 sec, and a diffusion time delay is 2 minute.

Objectives: We intended to observe changes in sleep patterns and mood states of night-shift workers following light exposure. We also estimated the degree of tolerance of light exposure. By studying these, we investigated the possibility of applying light therapy to night-shift workers for improving their adaptation. Methods: Twelve night-shift nurses working at Yong-In Mental Hospital volunteered to participate in this study. The study consisted of 3 parts: 1) night-shift control study; 2) light exposure study; 3) day-shift control study. All the nurses accomplished 3 parts of the study, each of which continued for 3 days, except one nurse who did not participate in day-shift control study. During light exposure study, nurses were exposed to bright light for 4 hours from 1AM to 5AM. Sleep patterns were evaluated with wrist actigraphy and automatic sleep analysis program. Mood states and side effects of light exposure were assessed with self-report scales. Results: Sleep period time, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency were increased following light exposure compared with night-shift control study. Light exposure study showed no difference from day-shift control study in above-mentioned sleep parameters. Daily fluctuation of sleep efficiency was less prominent during light exposure study than during night-shift control study. During light exposure study, the subjects felt more elated and energetic in the evening after daytime sleep than during night-shift control study. None of the subjects complained of severe side effects related to light exposure on the third day of light exposure. Tolerance of side effects was noted to develop with the repetition of light exposure. Conclusion: Light exposure improved the daytime sleep of night-shift workers to the level of normal nighttime sleep, making the subjects more elated and energetic. Side effects of light exposure were found to be tolerable. Light exposure seems to be safely applicable to night-shift workers for their adaptation.

Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate whether the changes in structure and activity of antioxidative enzymes, superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase(CAT) present in the eyes appeared when they were repeatedly exposed to UV-A, and reveal the correlation of these changes. Methods: Each enzyme solution was prepared from the standardized SOD and CAT, and repeatedly exposed to UV-A of 365 min under the condition of 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours a day over 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days. Structural denaturation of SOD and CAT induced by repeat UV-A irradiation was confirmed by the electrophoretic analysis, and their enzyme activity was determined by the colorimetric assay using the proper assay kit. Results: SOD exposed repeatedly to UV-A showed the polymerization pattern through the electrophoretic analysis when it was repeatedly exposed under the condition of at least 1 hour a day however, the change of its activity was found to be less than 12%. On the other hand, CAT repeatedly exposed to UV-A showed reduced size of the electrophoretic band which indicated a structure denaturation and its activity was significantly decreased. In the case of that the repeat exposure time was longer, CAT activity was completely lost even though some enzyme band was shown in the electrphoretic analysis. Conclusions: From these results, it was revealed that the degree and pattern in structural denaturation of antioxidative enzymes differently appeared according to the type of enzyme, and the degree of structural denaturation was not always consistent with the reduction in enzyme activity.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic information for quality changes according to degree of exposed sunlight after harvest of aerial part in Saururus chinensis Baill. Top part harvested was exposed to sunlight from 0 to 3 hours with 1-hour interval, and was dried at $50^{\circ}C$ hot air. The values were higher at shorter time of sunlight exposure, while the opposite is the true to the a values. The b and c values were high at 2-hour exposure before drying. Those were higher at shorter time of sunlight exposure after drying, but showed opposite tendency in tang-jeon. The contents of rutin and quercitrin, and astringency were greater at shorter time of sunlight exposure. Preference of quality and tang-jeon showed similar tendency with those.

The purposes of this study were to examine the effect of 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) bleaching agent on the changes in physical and chemical characteristics of tooth. The bleached teeth showed an apparent color changes. The whiteness increased linearly within the tested period as the period of bleaching increased. The microhardness between bleached groups after bleaching showed any statistically significant difference according to the paried t-test. The bleached enamel surface showed any apparent morphological changes compared to the enamel which was stored in distilled water only. The difference of the total mineral contents for the distilled water and hydrogen peroxide did not show statistical significance. These results demonstrated that bleaching using 35% hydrogen peroxide were adversely affects application time of experimental group and may confirm the safety of using these agents for a short time in dentist-monitored bleaching.

This experimental study shows the thermal characteristics of the fire fighter's waterproof clothing exposed to the radiation heat. From the test results, the surface temperature of the fire fighter's waterproof clothing exposed to the radiation with the passage of time sharply increased as the exposed-distance became closer. Also as the radiant heat flux increased, the surface temperature is higher and the time reaching steady state is sharply shorter. As the exposed-distance become more distant, the surface temperature of the fire fighter's waterproof clothing decreased and the difference of temperature between the front side and the back side of the clothing decreased as well. Besides, the radiant heat flux increased, the safety exposed-distance increased. Therefore it is necessary that fire fighter have to work keeping a fixed safe distance from the radiant heat source.
