This study was performed to analyse the expression of VEGF and it's receptor(VEGFR) in the tension side of the periodontal ligament following orthodontic tooth movement. Upper first molars of Sprague-Dawley rats were moved medially using closed coil spring for 1, 2, 24 hours and 3, 7, 14 days. H&E staining, immunohistochemical staining and in situ hybridization methods were used to analyse the change of the expression of VEGF and VEGFR. The results from this study were as follows : 1. Following tensional force, periodontal ligament showed elongation of fibers, compression and congestion of vessels and regional hemorrhage. These tissue changes were recovered within 3 days of force application. New bone formation was seen after 3 days of force application and continued for the remaining experimental periods. 2. Following tensional force, VEGF and VEGF mRNA expression was increased in the periodontal ligament cells, osteoblasts and cementoblasts. This change was followed by increased vasculature in the periodontal ligament. 3. After 3 days of tensional force, VEGF and VEGF mRNA expression was confined mainly to the osteopaths and the periodontal ligament cells adjacent to the alveolar bone. After 2 weeks of force application, VEGF and VEGF mRNA expression was reduced to the level of control sample. 4. VEGFRs(Flt-1, Flk-1) showed similar expression pattern and it's expression was mainly seen in the endothelial cells and osteoblasts. Following tensional force VEGFR expression was increased in the endothelial cells and osteoblasts. In conclusion, in the tension side of the penodontal ligament, ligament cells, osteoblast and cementoblast showed increased expression of VEGF & VEGF mRNA. It preceded the increase of vasculature and new bone formation. The increased expression of VEGF mRNA in cementoblast may induce periodontal vessels, which distribute mainly the bone side half of periodontal ligament, grow in the direction of tensional force. Increased expression of VEGFR & VEGFR mRNA not only in endothelial cell but in osteoblast, osteocyte and periodontal cells showed VEGF acts not only in paracrine manner but in autocrine one.

In this study, tensile tests were carried out on materials (A516-60, A283-C, A285-C, and SB410) for structural and pressure vessels at temperatures of $20^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$, and $-40^{\circ}C$, and the changes in the mechanical properties were analyzed. Compared to the results at $20^{\circ}C$, the average yield stress increased by 6.4% and 7.5% at $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-40^{\circ}C$ for A516-60, while the average tensile stress increased by 1.3% and 4.1%, respectively. The average elongation decreased by 4.7% and 20.4% at these temperatures. In the case of A283-C, the average yield stress increased 8.8% and 9.8%, the average tensile stress increased by 4.1% and 5.9%, and the average elongation rate decreased by 7.4% and 9.9% at $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-40^{\circ}C$, respectively. For A285-C, the average yield stress increased by 1.8% and 8.6%, and the average tensile stress increased by 2.6% and 5.3%, respectively, but there was little change in the average elongation. Finally, for SB410, the average yield stress increased by 7.1% and 11.8%, the average tensile stress increased by 4.3% and 5.5%, but the average elongation rate decreased by 8.7% and 13.5%, respectively.

The aim of this study was to develop the noise and vibration damping wood-based composites by using viscoelastic polymer materials. Polyvinylchloride(PVC) was plasticized with 20-140 phr bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DOP) and the dynamic tensile mechanical properties were measured at 110Hz and approximate temperature range -100 to 150$^{\circ}$ using a Rheovibron Instrument. The PVC/DOP blends were shown to be compatible in all proportions, and both T(E”$_{max}$) and T(tan${\delta}_{max}$) shifted to the lower temperature side as the DOP content increased. The vibration damping properties of wood/polymer composites were measured using the Rheovibron instrument in a bending mode. The composite damping factor(tan ${\delta}_{c}$) of wood /PVC-DOP/wood sandwich structure correlated with the loss factor and that of the coated structure correlated with the loss modulus(E”) of the polymer layer. In addition, the sandwich structure was found to be more effective in damping than the coated structure. The logarithmic decrement (${\Delta}$c) curve of a sandwich structure, which was determined by the free-free flexural vibration method was similar in shape to the tan ${\delta}_{c}$ curve.

Maleic anhydride (MA) modified ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (MEPDM) was pre-pared from solution polymerization. MEPDM-g-PST copolymer was prepared by melt polymerization of male ate d EPDM and quaternary ammonium silyl polydimethylsiloxane -7,7,8,8- tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) adduct (PST) in internal mixer and MEPDM-g-PST/HDPE/CB (MPEC) was prepared by com-pounding HDPE, MEPDM-g-PST copolymer and carbon black (CB, 5, 10, 15, and 20 phr), and HDPE/ CB (PEC) by compounding HDPE and CB (5, 10, 15, and 20 phr), respectively. The structure of MEPDM-g-PST copolymer was confirmed by measuring the FTIR. The maximum grafting ratio of MA onto EPDM was 2.35%. The thermal and mechanical properties of the composites were measured and dispersion characteristics of CB in matrix show that CB in MPEC was better dispersed than that in PEC composite.

Crosslinked PI films were synthesized from 4,4'-(hexafluoro isopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy) phenyl] sulfone(BAPS) with various ratios of the reactive monomer cis-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride(CDBA). We prepared crosslinked poly(amic acid) (PAA) using a 0.1 wt% Grubbs catalyst as a crosslinking agent. The crosslinked PAA was heat-treated at different temperatures to give PI films. The thermo-mechanical properties and optical transparency of the PI films were investigated. The thermal properties of the PI films were examined using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), thermo-mechanical analysis(TMA), and universal tensile machine(UTM), and their optical transparencies were investigated using UV-vis. spectrophotometry. The thermomechanical properties of the PI films improved with increasing CDBA content. However, the optical transparency of the PI films decreased slightly with increasing CDBA content.

An experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted in the present study to explore the mechanical behavior of concrete under dynamic loads. The stress-strain behavior and mechanical characteristics of concrete under various strain-rates were studied from several series of experiments. A new constitutive theory was derived on the basis of viscoplasticity to model the dynamic behavior of concrete. The theory is verified by the present test results as well as other previous test data. It is found from the present study that the strength of concrete is greatly increased with the increase of strain rate and that the rate of strength increase is greater in tension than in compression. The present theory as well as present test results will provide very useful basis to explore the dynamic behavior of concrete structures.

The condition of temperature gradients in asphaltic concrete (Ascon) pavement have been analyzed based on the data collected from 5 major sites in Korea. From this. considering heat transfer by insolation flux and air temperature within pavement slab. temperature variation on the surface of pavement was computed and numerical model using the theory of thermal conductivity was applied to estimate the temperature gradients in depth. To investigate the present condition of asphalt generally used in Korea. the asphalt property tests were applicated on 5 different AP-3 (AC 85~100), and AP-5 (AC 60~70) asphalts classified by penetration index. Uniaxial compression test and indirect tensile test were also carried out for varying temperature conditions to analyze the effect of temperature on the deformation characteristics of Ascon pavement by calculating the variation of static elastic modulus and layer coefficients.

Polycaprolactone (PCL) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends were prepared. Mechanical properties, thermal property, water absorption, biodegradability by composting and surface morphology of PCL/TPS blends were investigated. The compositions of PCL/TPS blends were 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, 30/70, 20/80, and 10/90. Strength and elongation at break decreased as the content of TPS increased, while modulus increased. DSC thermogram of TPS showed two glass transition temperatures (T$_{g}$ ) at 23$^{\circ}C$ and 126$^{\circ}C$. And TPS proved to be an amorphous polymer because there was no endothermic peak due to the melting of starch crystal. The unchanged melting temperatures and T$_{g}$ 's of PCL/TPS blends revealed that PCL and TPS were not miscible. All of the blends were found to be mechanically compatible but phase separated in each other. After 45 days composting, the biodegradability of PCL was 44% and that of PCL/TPS blends increased as the contents of TPS increased.

In order to analyze the photodegradation of plastic materials for floats or frames of fisheries facilities, weathering experiment on 3 kinds of plastic materials like high density PE of Korea(KHDPE) and Norway(NHDPE) and high strength PVC(Hi-PVC) was carried out during 900 hours exposure by using xenon light source of weather-Ometer. The results obtained are as follows; With increasing of ultraviolet radiation(UVR) time, a remarkable losses in the mechanical properties of each specimen were observed except for the remaining strain of HDPE materials. As NHDPE lost almost 15% of its initial tensile stress during a 900 hours exposure followed by KHDPE 12% and Hi-PVC 6%. In addition, the remaining tensile stress RS(kg/$mm^2$) decreases almost linearly with the lapse of exposure time to light Y(Year) and the empirical equations of each specimen computed as follows; KHDPE : RS=2.6769-0.0003Y($r^2$=0.63) Hi-PVC : RS=5.3470-0.0003Y($r^2$=0.91) NHDPE : RS=2.4929-0.0004Y($r^2$=0.97) It was observed by scanning electron microscope that all specimens with UVR time had started to decompose and had bubbled areas and small holes.

캘린더령은 지펼의 표면을 평활하게 하고, 두께를 감소시켜 균일하게 하는 역할을 한다. 그러나 이는 필연적으로 불투명도와 같은 광학적 성질과 인장강도 등의 강도적 성질 의 저하를 유발한다. 따라서 캘린더링 공정변수인 온도, 압력, 속도 등이 종이의 물성에 미 치는 영향을 정확하게 파악하는 것은 캘린더령에 따라 발생할 수 있는 물성 저하를 최소화 하기 위해 필수적으로 요청된다. 본 연구에서는 최근들어 저평량화에 대한 관심이 증가하면 서 그 중요성이 더해지고 있는 불투명도가 캘린더링에 따라 변화되는 양상을 분석하기 위해 서 화상분석 기법을 이용하여 종이의 두께방향 밀도 변이를 평가하고 밀도변이와 불투명도 와의 상관관계를 해석코자 하였다. 또 캘린더링에 따른 불투명도를 저하를 최소화시키기 위 한 캘린더링 조건을 모색하였다. 캘린더링에 의해 발생하는 종이의 두께 변형은 두께방향의 위치에 따라 다르게 나 타난다. 이러한 종이의 두께 방향으로 발생하는 밀도 변이와 이에 따른 불투명도 변화를 평 가하기 위하여 동일한 평량의 종이를 캘린더령 조건을 달리하여 두께방향 밀도변이가 다른 시편을 준비하고 두께 방향 단면을 SEM으로 촬영하였다. 이후 화상분석기를 통해 단면을 이치화하고, 각 픽셀의 흑백 값을 구해 CD방향으로 평균을 내어 두께 방향에 대한 밀도 변 이를 평가하였다. 그 결과 압력보다는 온도를 높여 캘린더링한 경우 종이의 두께 방향 밀도 경사가 커진다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 고온에 의해 표층이 고밀화되고 상대적으 로 내부가 별크해졌기 때문이다. 이러한 밀도 변이가 종이의 광학적 성질인 불투명도에 미 치는 영향을 구명하기 위해서 캘린더링 전후에 두께 및 불투명도를 측정하여 5% 유의수준 에서 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 밀도경사를 지닌 종이의 불투명도를 이론적으로 해석하기 위해 다층 모델을 가정하 고 각 층의 비광산란계수(5)와 비광흡수계수(k)를 달리 부여하고 Kubelka-Munk 이론을 근 거로 하여 이론적 불투명도를 계산하였다. 불투명도에 대한 분석를 통해 동일한 두께 변형 을 가지는 샘플에 대해서 압력보다는 온도를 증가시켜 두께를 감소시키는 캘린더링 처리가 불투명도의 저하를 최소화한다는 것을 확인하였다.
