Sodium silicate binder is eco-friendly inorganic binder to substitute organic binder in foundry industry, but it has low stability at moisture. In this study, the bending strength of sand cores with sodium silicate binder at various curing condition was measured for confirm the effect of moisture content in cured sodium silicate binder on the strength and stability. The sodium silicate binder generates stable binder bridge with silicate structure of Q³ and Q² at 130℃. The maximum bending strength of sand cores was not affected by curing conditions, because the silicate structure of binder bridges was similar. However, the lower moisture content of cured sodium silicate binder, stability of strength was enhanced. Therefore, it was confirmed that the moisture content of cured sodium silicate binder is important factor at stability of sodium silicate binder.

저온동시소성 다층세라믹스 시트 제조시 바인더 함량과 압력 변화에 따른 적층체의 그린밀도, 적층밀도, 바인더 burn out 후 그린밀도, 소결밀도를 고찰하였다. 바인더 함량이 증가함에 따라 slurrly의 유변학적 변화는 그린시트의 유동성 및 충진율을 변화시켜 그린시트의 밀도에 영향을 주었다. 적층 압력을 5~50MPa로 변화시켰을 때 바인더 함량이 12%로 가장 많은 시트의 경우 적층 후 시트의 밀도는 상대적으로 높은 밀도값을 나타내었으나, 바인더 burn out 후에는 상대적으로 낮은 밀도값을 나타내었다. 바인더 함량 변화에 따른 소결 밀도값은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

본 논문은 $TiO_2$(Degussa, P-25), 바인더(A-9540) 그리고 용제의 배합비율을 바꾸어 코팅액을 제조하여 금속판에 코팅한 후, 고농도의 IPA를 주입하여 분해효율을 고찰하였다. 고형분 함량 비율 변화에서는 $TiO_2$ 함량은 증가하고 바인더가 감소할수록 좋은 효율을 보였고, 용제는 ethanol과 MEK 두 가지 중에 MEK의 분해효율이 좋았다. 용제(MEK)함량 비율 변화에서는 일정량의 용제가 있을 경우 분해효율이 좋았고, 용제함량이 낮아질 경우 코팅액 점도가 높아지고 건조 후에는 표면이 갈라지는 현상을 보였다. 결국, 용제함량 비율 변화는 바인더 함량 실험에도 영향을 주어 1.75:0.25:10일 때 가장 좋은 분해효율을 보였다.

A new electrode binder mixed with sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (sPEEK) and Nafion is prepared and investigated as an anode binder for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The mixed binder (95 wt% sPEEK/5 wt% Nafion) shows high proton conductivity and methanol transport rate as well as no dissolution and brittleness. The effect of content as an anode binder on the performance of the cell with the given cathode is investigated. The unit cell with the anode containing 10wt% mixed binder showed the highest cell performance.

염료감응형 태양전지(Dye-sensitized solar cells)용 페이스트의 제조시 바인더(binder)인 폴리에틸렌 글리콜(Polyethylene glycol; 이하 PEG)의 함량변화가 염료감응형 태양전지의 에너지 변환효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. PEG의 함량변화는 0-30wt%까지 변화시켰으며 그들의 표면이나 단면의 형상을 FE-SEM, AFM으로 관찰 하였고, PEG 함량변화에 따른 열적특성은 TG/DTA 결과로 조사하였다. PEG의 양이 0%에서 20wt%까지 첨가되었을 때 단락전류밀도(Isc: Short current density)는 증가되어 나타났고 PEG가 30wt%가 첨가되었을 때는 오히려 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있으며 이것은 $TiO_2$ 입자간의 응집현상이 과도하게 진행되어 전자의 흐름을 방해한 것으로 판단된다. PEG의 함량이 20wt% 첨가되었을 때 개방전압 (Voc: Open circuit voltage)이 0.73V, 단락전류밀도는 $22.6mA/cm^2$, 필펙터는 0.55, 에너지변환효율은 9.1%로 최적의 바인더 함량을 나타내었다. 염료감응형 태양전지의 광전극 제조시 PEG 바인더의 함량 변화에 따라 일자간의 응징특성이나 기공도와 같은 표면형상, 그리고 에너지변환효율을 변화시킨다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Carbon blocks were prepared by compression molding process using the mixture of isotropic cokes and binder pitches, which were reformed with different ${\beta}$-resin contents from pyrolysis fuel oil. Physical and chemical properties and also thermal behavior of binder pitches were investigated through elemental analysis, FT-IR and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The adhesion of binder pitches to isotropic coke particles was evaluated from SEM images of the fracture surface of carbon blocks. From these results, it is shown that the adhesion between the cokes and binder was enhanced by increasing the ${\beta}$-resin content of binder pitches. The density of the carbon block after carbonization also increased from 1.325 to $1.383g/cm^3$ by increasing the ${\beta}$-resin content of binder pitches from 1.4 to 20.1%.

In this work, we have prepared the filter papers with the pitch-based activated carbon fibers and the binder fibers using wet-laid process. The influence of the binder fiber on the porosity of the filter papers has been investigated by using nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). As a result, the specific surface area has increased with an decrease in the content of binder fiber. It has been shown that the optimum ratio of pitch-based activated carbon fibers and the binder fibers is 70:30, resulting in high porosity, excellent bonding strength, large specific surface area ($650.4m^2/g$) and high noxious gas removal efficiency (86.9%). In addition, it has been observed that the mean pore size distribution of the fiber papers has not been affected by the binder fiber.

To develop a high performance SCR catalyst which has better specific surface area, lightness of weight and fast temperature response than those of existing commercial SCR catalyst, metal foam type SCR catalysts were prepared by washcoating with vanadium, tungsten and binder. The de-NOx performance test of the prepared catalysts was carried out on atmospheric micro-test unit at lab. scale according to space velocity variation and temperature change, and the characteristics of them were analyzed by Porosimeter, SEM(scanning electron microscope), EDX(energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer), ICP(inductively coupled plasma) and Stereomicroscope. The NOx reduction performance decreased as the space velocity increased and was found to be the best at 3.5 wt.% contents of the vanadium and tungsten. It was found that the larger amount of binder was added, the worse the NOx reduction performance was, which was considered to be that the number of active sites of the prepared catalyst surface was occupied by the binder. We found that the amount of binder to be added to prepare the catalyst should be properly controlled by the condition of coated catalyt surface.

The viscosity for hi-solid pressure sensitive adhesive to improve water soluble low viscosity pressure sensitive adhesive polymerized using seeded polymerization. While seed binder polymerizing it produces an optimum polymerization condition, and acrylic acid and seed binder concentration changed were measurement of viscosity variation and adhesive power at the substrate (SUS420J) as flowing results. In adhesive polymerization, seed binder concentration 7 wt%/monomer was recovered 60% of solid content, 2,100 cps of low viscosity and clear adhesive film. When acrylic acid content was 4 wt%/monomer, it was turned excellent adhesive power and holding power.

To maximize the areal capacity($mAh\;cm^{-2}$) of $LiNi_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$(NCM523) electrode with the same loading level of $15mg\;cm^{-2}$, three NCM523 electrodes with 4, 2, and 1 wt% poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVdF) binder content are fabricated. Due to the delamination issue of electrode composite at the edge during punching process, the 1 wt% electrode is excluded for further evaluation. When the PVdF binder content decreases from 4 to 2 wt%, both adhesion strength and shear stress decrease from 0.4846 to $0.2627kN\;m^{-1}$ by -46% and from 3.847 to 2.013 MPa by -48%, respectively. Regardless of these substantial decline of mechanical properties, their initial electrochemical properties such as initial coulombic efficiency and voltage profile are almost the same. However, owing to high loading level, the 2 wt% electrode not only exhibits worse cycle performance than the 4 wt% electrode, but also cannot maintain its mechanical integrity only after 80 cycles. Therefore, if the binder content is reduced to increase the area capacity, the mechanical properties as well as the cycle performance must be carefully evaluated.
