Neutron inelastic scattering studies on polycrystalline hydrates, NaBr-2$H_2O$ and BaCl$_2$-2$H_2O$ have been performed to observe librational modes. Assuming all observed peaks are from the $H_2O$ librational origin, the weighted frequency distribution functions are obtained by eliminating the contributions from the higher order processes. All of theoretical frequencies obtained using FG matrix method are dus to highly mixed modes, and therefore the modes identified as significant $H_2O$ librationat modes from their large potential energy distributions are assigned to the observed peaks. The H-bond interactions are estimated using a modified Lippincott Schroeder potential function, and the applicability of the potential function to the H-bond with highly bent or bifurcated configuration is examined on the basis of the shape of $H_2O$ librational potential energies. Some discussions are given on the usefulness of introducing O-H…Y bending terms in addition to the H…Y stretching in similar frequency calculation in order to obtain more information on the nature of H-bond. Also the purity and symmetry properties of the $H_2O$ librational modes are discussed using group theoretical analyses.

Inherited the excellent electrical and mechanical properties based on the low dimensional structure of graphene, three-dimensional graphene nanostructures have gathered great attention as electrochemical energy storage electrodes owing to their high porosity and large specific surface area. Also, having the catecholamine structure, dopamine has been regarded as a multifunctional material to possess high affinity to various organic/inorganic materials and to modify a hydrophobic surface to a hydrophilic one. In this work, through coating dopamine on the three-dimensional graphene nanostructure, we tried to increase the specific capacitance by enhancing the wettability with electrolyte and to improve the mechanical compressive property by strengthening the nano-architecture. As a result, the dopamine-coated nanostructure exhibited significant improvement on the specific capacitance (51.5% increase) and compressive stress (59.6% increase).

Recently. the excessive diesel engine torsional excitation of typical energy saving ships has resulted in severe damages of the propeller shaft. Up to now the design and torsional vibration analysis of the marine diesel shafting system has been performed on the assumption that excitations are deterministic. But a diesel engine excitation varies randomly from cylinder to cylinder and from cycle to cycle, due to the imperfect operation of the engine components due to engine misfiring. consequently, a more rational analysis method for the propulsion shafting torsional vibration is required. In this paper probabilistic analysis method of the marine diesel engine shafting system under torsional vibration is presented. First a response surface representing maximum shear stresses in a shafting system is built. Then Monte Carlo simulation with subsequent approximation of the results by one of Pearson's curves, is performed. Some numerical results based on the proposed method are compared with t도 some numerical data available. They show acceptable agreements with the data.

In this study, two types of amino acids-based anionic biosurfactants such as potassium cocoyl glutamate (CTK) and sodium cocoyl glutamate (CTN) were synthesized from coconut oils and the structure elucidation of CTK and CTN was carried out by using FT-IR, $^1H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ spectrophotometries. Measurements of interfacial properties such as static and dynamic surface tensions and emulsification activity showed that both CTK and CTN were surface-active and effective in lowering the interfacial free energy. In particular, the CTK surfactant was found to be more efficient in reducing the interfacial free energy since the larger number of CTK molecules was preferentially adsorbed at the air-water interface due to the higher hydrophobicity and larger mobility of CTK than those of using CTN, indicating possible uses in cosmetics and household products formulation.

Atmospheric glow plasma polymerization was applied to wood powder before fabricating polypropylene (PP) matrix composites. Seven different types of monomers (Oxygen, Benzene, CH4, Acrylic-acid, Hexafluoroethane, Trifluorotolune, Hexamethyl-disiloxane) were analyzed to determine the most suitable precursor for plasma polymerization. The surface energy was calculated from measured contact angle about each monomer on PP. Hexamethyl-disiloxane (HMDSO) had a highest surface energy and is selected as the most suitable monomer. Wood powder and polypropylene were mixed as pellets by twin screw extruder and then 50 wt% wood powder/PP composites were produced by an injection machine. Tensile strength and Flexural strength have improved by 7.59% and 12.43% at the maximum respectively. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) observation on the fracture surface revealed that the plasma polymerization have improved the interfacial bonding and the mechanical properties of the composites.

Cyclodextrin compounds including 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin(β-HPCD) though to be accelerate the biodegradation of PAHs molecule by increasing solubility of PAHs through detaining PAHs in their's cavity. However, only this mechanism is not sufficient to explain the enhancement of PAHs biodegradation by β-HPCD. To find out possible additional role of β-HPCD in the enhancement of PAHs biodegradation, biodegradation rates of pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) by a PAHs degrading Novosphingobium pentaromtivorans US6-1 strain were compared between with and without addition of β-HPCD. Changes of bacterial biomass were also measured simultaneously. In addition catechol 1,2-dioxygenase activity was determined depending on pre-incubation conditions. As a result, β-HPCD accelerate the degradation rate of pyrene by strain US6-1 and especially the β-HPCD amendment was obligatory for the degradation of B[a]p. Bacterial biomass was responsible for β-HPCD, however, PAHs compounds such as pyrene and B[a]P did not contribute to the bacterial biomass. Catechol 1,2-dioxygenase specific activity of US6-l cells pre-cultured in MM2 medium containing l％ β-HPCD was higher than that of cells pre-cultured in ZoBell medium. The former case also showed similar activity compared to that of cells serially starved in MM2 medium after grown in ZoBell medium. These results imply that the presence of β-HPCD accelerate the degradation of PAHs by increasing the bacterial biomass as well as by increasing the water solubility of PAHs.

There is a unique type of fatty acid in the hair surface. 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA) is an unusual anteiso fatty acid covalently linked to the outermost surface of hair cuticle. A layer of 18-MEA is located in the upper ${\beta}$-layer of the CMC that is responsible for the low surface energy and low friction resistance of the hair's outer surface. The high mobility of 18-MEA molecule facilitates spreading of extraneous lipid by decreasing interfacial shear strength. In this study, we introduced N-hydroxyl succinimidyl ester functional group to the one end of C10 - 40 isoalkyl acid for regenerating hair surface with covalently bound fatty acid layer. The re-hydrophobicization of hair surface has been investigated by contact angle measurement. The inner moisture content of hair at different levels of humidity (40, 55, 70 %RH) was measured by electric moisture analyzer. Treatment with Hydroxysuccinimidyl C10 - 40 Isoalkyl Acidate (HCIA) was supposed to make hair surface smoother by filling the cracks between cuticles with covalently bound fatty acid monomolecular layer like cuticle glue. This glue effect was also confirmed with line profile of AFM images. Therefore, the moisture and structural components of inner hair were not easily flown out and the optimum moisture content could be kept constantly though the outside humidity level was changed. The lateral force microscopy (LFM) by using atomic force microscope showed that the friction force of hair surface treated with HCIA was decreased. It also showed the constantly sustained friction value even after shampooing repeated 15 times.

안정적이고 효율적인 전력 공급을 위해 번화가 대로변 주변에 다수의 지상 변압기 및 개폐기가 설치되고 있으며, 이로 인해 불법 부착물로 인한 도시의 미관 훼손, 변압기 및 개폐기의 오염 등의 문제가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 각 산업체 및 연구 기관에서는 부착 방지용 코팅 도료 및 시트에 대해 다양한 연구개발을 진행하고 있으며, 현장에 적용되고 있는 사례도 있다. 하지만 현재 현장에 적용된 대부분의 제품들은 약 1년 정도의 시간이 지나면 고유의 기능을 상실하며, 도료 및 시트와 기판 사이의 박리가 일어나 우수한 성능을 보이지 않아, 결과적으로 도시에 더욱더 악영향을 주고 있다. 이러한 원인으로는 도료 및 시트의 성능 평가를 위한 다양한 규격들이 존재하지만, 테이프류 탈착 시 영향을 주는 인자(Factor)들이 명확하게 설정되어 있지 않고, 이에 대해 면밀하게 분석한 자료가 없으며, 정량적이고 객관적인 시험 방법이 고려되지 않고 있기 때문에 좋은 제품을 선별하기 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 여러 가지 제품들의 비교평가 및 기술 개발에 활용할 수 있는 가이드라인을 제시하기 위해 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 면테이프(Duct tape)를 이용하여 기판(Substrate)에 대해 다양한 인자를 기준으로 탈착 특성을 측정 및 평가하였다. 현재 지상 배전함 및 개폐기는 분체도장(Powder coating)으로 구성되어져 있으며, 그 모재는 탄소강(Carbon steel)으로 이루어져 있고, 소수의 경우 스테인리스(Stainless steel)를 사용하기 있기 때문에 분체도장(Powder coating), 탄소강(Carbon steel), 스테인리스(Stainless steel)를 기판으로 선정하여 탈착 특성을 평가했다. 탈착 특성에 관여하는 요인으로는 탈착 각도(Peeling angle), 탈착 속도(Peeling speed), 표면 조도(Surface roughness) 등이 있고, 상대 습도(Relative humidity)의 경우 탈착 특성에 영향을 거의 주지 않는 것을 확인했다. 탈착 시 각도가 클수록, 속도가 빠를수록, 조도가 작을수록 부착력(Peel resistance, N/cm)과 탈착 에너지(Energy, J)가 커지며, 탈착 특성에 영향을 주는 인자를 바탕으로 95% 신뢰도 구간을 적용한 탈착특성 모델링을 제시하였다. 이 모델링을 이용하여 실제 현장에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 각도($90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$)와 속도 범위(100 ~ 1500mm/min)에서의 탈착 특성을 추정하는 것으로, 좋은 성능 및 내구성을 가진 제품을 효과적으로 선별한다.

조립라인에서 볼트의 수량을 정확하게 검출하는 장치는 작업속도의 향상 및 불량발생을 줄이기 위해 필요한 것이다. 현재 조립에 필요한 수량을 작업자의 시각에 의해 파악하고 있기 때문에 작업시간이 증가되고 있으며 특히 조립 과정 중 작업자의 실수로 볼트가 제품의 내부에 침투하여 제품의 소음, 성능저하 및 수명단축을 초래하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 작업자의 편의성 및 조립속도 향상을 위해 볼트를 감지하여 자동으로 수량을 검출하는 장치를 개발하였다. 볼트의 특성에 따라 볼트 선별부의 치수를 수정하면 되도록 하였다. 조립라인의 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 설계는 Auto CAD를 이용하였다. 조립라인의 공간 효율 증가를 위하여 볼트 수량 검출기의 가로${\times}$세로의 크기를 최소로 하여 $220{\times}360{\times}1170mm$로 설계하였다. 받침대는 $60{\times}60$ 프로파일을 이용하였고 다른 구성 부품은 SUS304 재질을 가공하여 조립하였다. 실험은 실험구 마다 100회 측정하여 평균값을 나타냈으며, 소수점은 시스템에 영향이 없기 때문에 절사하였다. Test 19-27 구간이 배출부가 가장 적게 구동하는 것으로 나타났다. 정렬부의 각도가 10, $15^{\circ}$의 경우는 볼트와 배출부의 마찰력이 증가하여 구동횟수가 증가한 것으로 판단된다. $20^{\circ}$이상의 각도에서는 볼트가 배출부에 안착하기 전에 하강하기 때문에 반복횟수가 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 최적의 정렬부 각도는 $20^{\circ}$로 나타났다. 볼트의 지름이 3, 5, $7{\phi}$ 일 때 정렬부의 각도에 따른 정렬부의 반복횟수에 대한 결과 값을 한 결과 $20^{\circ}$에서 정렬부의 구동횟수가 가장 적은 것 으로 나타났다. 정렬부의 각도가 큰 경우 구동에 의한 볼트와의 운동에너지의 증가로 반복횟수가 증가한 것으로 판단된다.
