This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of benzalkonium chloride solution as a wetting agent instead of water on dentin bonding with NTG-GMA/BPDM system (All-bond 2, Bisco.) and DSDM system (Aelitebond, Bisco.). Benzalkonium chloride solution is a chemical disinfectant widely used in medical and dental clinics for preoperative preparation of skin and mucosa due to its strong effect of cationic surface active detergent. Eighty freshly extracted bovine lower incisor were grinded labially to expose flat dentin surface, and then were acid-etched with 10 % phosphoric acid for 15 second, water-rinsed, and dried for 10 second with air syringe. The specimens were randomly divided into 8 groups of 10 teeth. The specimens of control group were remoistured with water and the specimens of experimental groups were remoistured with 0.1 %, 0.5 %, and 1.0 % benzalkonium chloride solution respectively. And then, the Aelitefil composite resin was bonded to the pretreated surface of the specimens by use of All-bond 2 dentin bonding system or Aelitebond dentin bonding system in equal number of the specimens. The bonded specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 24 hours, then the tensile bond strength was measured, the mode of failure was observed, the fractured dentin surface were examined under scanning electron microscopy, and FT-IR spectroscopy was taken for the purpose of investigating the changes of the dentin surface pretreated with benzal konium chloride solution followed by each primer of the dentin bonding systems. The results were as follows : In the group of bonding with NTG-GMA/BPDM dentin bonding agent(All-bond 2), higher tensile bond strength was only seen in the experimental group remoistured with 0.1 % benzal konium chloride solution than that in water-remoistured control group(p<0.05). In the group of bonding with DSDM dentin bonding agent (Aelitebond), no significant differences were seen between the control and each one of the experimental group(p<0.05). Higher tensile bond strength were seen in NTG-GMAIBPDM dentin bonding agent group than in DSDM dentin bonding agent group regardless of remoistur ization with benzal konium chloride solution. On the examination of failure mode, cohesive and mixed failure were predominantly seen in the group of bonding with NTG-GMAIBPDM dentin bonding agent, while adhesive failure was predominantly seen in the group of bonding with DSDM dentin bonding agent. On SEM examination of fractured surfaces, no differences of findings of primed dentin surface between the groups with and without remoisturization with benzal konium chloride solution. FT-IR spectroscopy taken from the control and the experimental group reve::.led that some higher absorbance derived from the primers binding to dentin surface was seen at the group pretreated with 0.1 % benzal konium chloride solution than at the control group of remoisturizing with water.

The effects of wood species, particle size of wood flours and coupling treatment on the mechanical properties of wood plastic composites (WPC) are investigated in this study. Chemical components of wood flour from 3 different wood species were analyzed by the chemical analysis. Wood flours of 40~60 mesh and 80~100 mesh were manufactured from Larix (Larix kaempferi Lamb.), Quercus (Quercus accutisima Carr.), and Maackia (Maackia amuresis Rupr. et Maxim). The wood flours were reinforced into polypropylene (PP) by melt compounding and injection molding, then tensile, flexural, and impact strength properties were analyzed. The order of alpha-cellulose content in wood is Quercus (43.6%), Maackia (41.3%) and Larix (36.2%). The order of lignin content in wood is Larix (31.6%), Maackia (24.7%), and Quercus accutisima (24.4%). The content of extractives in wood is in the order of Larix (8.5%), Maackia (4.4%), and Quercus accutisima (3.9%). As the content of alpha-cellulose increases and the lignin and extractives decreases, tensile and flexural strengths of the WPC increase. At the same loading level of wood flours, the smaller particle size (80~100 mesh) of wood flours showed highly improved tensile and flexural strengths, compared to the larger one (40~60 mesh). The impact strength of the WPC was not significantly affected by the wood species, but the wood flours of larger particle size showed better impact strengths. The addition of maleated polypropylene (MAPP) provided the highly improved tensile, flexural and impact strengths. Morphological analysis shows improved interfacial bonding with MAPP treatment for the composites.

Two species which belong to a needle-leaf tree, three species which belong to a broad-leaved tree and three resins were selected and made into samples. They were glued in the amount of spread-$200g/m^2$, clamping pressure-$10kg/cm^2$ and room temperature during 48 hrs. This experiment was carried out to investigate results on gluing faculty tests with examining block shear strength, wood failure, tensile strength and bending strength. The result obtained may be summarized as follows. 1. Strength values of each resin made not difference, but those of each species had difference. 2. The result which Picea Koraiensis Nakai had good wood failure reveals better resin strength than wood strength. 3. Pinus Koreaiensis sieb. et Zucc. had poor tensile strength regardless of resins. 4. A broad-leaf tree, Robinia pseudoacacia Linne had good bending strength.

Mutli-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were surface-modified by a hydrofluoric acid solution to remove impurities and improve interfacial bonding and dispersion of nanotubes in an epoxy matrix. The crystallinity on the surface of treated MWCNTs was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The mechanical properties were characterized by tensile test, and the enhancement of mechanical properties of the modified MWCNTs/epoxy composites was indicated by a 33% increase in tensile strength. The electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) of modified MWCNTs/epoxy composites was improved with an increase in concentration of hydrofluoric solution, and EMI-SE showed the maximum increase with 25% HF. However, mechanical and EMI-SE properties didn't show further increase with over 50% HF concentration because the properties of MWCNTs were influenced by degradation of crystallinity and intrinsic properties of MWCNTs. The mechanical and electrical property enhancements of the polymer composites are attributed to the modification of MWCNTs which improve crystallinity of MWCNTs and dispersion in the epoxy resin.

The effects of compatibilizers on the mechanical and rheological properties of PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends have been studied. The thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) consists of PP (80 wt%), EPDM (15 wt%) and Talc (5 wt%). Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) and maleic anhydride grafted styrene-(ethylene-co-butene)-styrene copolymer (SEBS-g-MAH) were used as compatibilizers. In mechanical properties of PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends, tensile strength was increased when PP-g-MAH was used as a compatibilizer, and impact strength was increased when SEBS-g-MAH was used as a compatibilizer. From the results of SEM morphology of PP/PCL blend, PCL droplet size was decreased by the addition of PP-g-MAH. From the results of rheological property, complex viscosity of the PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends did not change appreciably when the compatibilizers were added. From the results of mechanical, morphological and rheological properties of the blends, PP-g-MAH acted as a compatibilizer to increase the tensile strength of the PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends. While SEBS-g-MAH acted as a impact modifier to increase the impact strength of the PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends.

The shock fracture analysis for the structures of navy vessels subject to underwater explosions or of high speed vessels frequently subject to impact loads has been carried out in two steps such as the global or macro analysis and the fine or micro analysis. In the macro analysis, Doubly Asymptotic Approximation(DAA) has been applied. The three main failure modes of structure members subject to strong shock loading are late time fracture mode such as plastic large deformation mainly due to dynamic plastic buckling, and the early time fracture mode such as tensile tearing failure or transverse shear failure. In this paper, the tensile tearing failure mode is numerically analyzed for the micro analysis by calculating the dynamic stress intensity factor $K_I(t)$, which shows the relation between stress wave and crack propagation on the longitudinal stiffener of the model. Especially, in calculating this factor, the numerical caustic method developed from shadow optical method of caustic well known as experimental method is used. The fully submerged vessel is adopted for the macro analysis at first, of which the longitudinal stiffener, subject to early shock pressure time history calculated in macro analysis, is adopted for the micro analysis.

The material and geometrical nonlinear finite elment analysis of UHPFRC 50M composite box girder was carried out. Constitute law in tension and compressive region of UHPFRC and HPC were modeled based on specimen test. The accuracy of nonlinear FEM analysis was verified by the experimental result of UHPFRC 50M composite girder. The UHPFRC 50M segmental composite box girder which has 1.5% steel fiber of volume fraction, 135MPa compressive strength and 18MPa tensile strength was tested. The post-tensioned UHPFRC composite girder consisted of three segment UHPFRC U-girder and High Strength Concrete reinforced slab. The parts of UHPFRC girder were modeled by 8nodes hexahedron elements and reinforcement bars and tendons were built by 2nodes linear elements by Midas FEA software. The constitutive laws of concrete materials were selected Multi-linear model both of tension and compression function under total strain crack model, which was included in classifying of smeared crack model. The nonlinearity of reinforcement elements and tendon was simulated by Von Mises criteria. The nonlinear static analysis was applied by incremental-iteration method with convergence criteria of Newton-Raphson. The validation of numerical analysis was verified by comparison with experimental result and numerical analysis result of load-deflection response, neutral axis coordinate change, and cracking pattern of girder. The load-deflection response was fitted very well with comparison to the experimental result. The finite element analysis is seen to satisfactorily predict flexural behavioral responses of post-tensioned, reinforced UHPFRC composite box girder.

Polymer blends containing poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) and polycarbonate(PC) (70/30, wt%) with compatibilizer were prepared using twin screw extruder. Compatibilizers were prepared by reactive extrusion with the ABS, maleic anhydride(MAH) and dicumyl peroxide(DCP) using twin screw extruder In the ABS/PC (70/30) blends, tensile strength did not change significantly, but increased from 52.25 to 55.03 MPa when the ABS-g-MAH was added in the amount of 5 phr. From the results of rheological properties, storage modulus of the ABS/PC/ABS-g-MAH blends at low frequencies showed lager value than that of the ABS/PC(70/30) blend. From the results of the morphological properties of the ABS/PC(70/30) blend, it was observed that the drop size of the PC ranged from 1.2 to $1.5\;{\mu}m$ and did not change significantly with the addition of the ABS-g-MAH($1{\sim}10\;phr$). From the results of the storage modulus, complex viscosity, and tensile strength of the ABS/PC (70/30) blends, it is found that the ABS-g-MAH is an effective compatibilizer in the ABS/PC (70/30) blends when the ABS-g-MAH is added in the amount of 5 phr.

High alumina cement(HAC) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) based macro-defect-free(MDF) cement composites were reinforced using short carbon fibers, 3mm in length, 1-4% in weight fraction and insoluble polymers such as polyurethane, epoxy, phenol resin, in order to increase mechanical properties and water stability. The specimens were manufactured by the low heat-press(warmpress) method. In addition, the interface and the cross-linking reaction of cement and polymers was also studied by the SEM and TEM. Flexural strength of HAC/PVA based MDF cementitious composites was proportionally decreased with increasing fiber contents due to the undensified structure around fibers. The flexural strength of insoluble polymer added specimen was decreased with increasing fiber contents, while water stability was dramatically improved. Epoxy resin added specimen showed the highest strength with increasing fiber contents, compared with other specimens. The water stability of fiber content 4% added specimen immersed in water presented about 95%, 87% at 3 and 7 days immersed in water, respectively. The interfacial adhesive strength of fiber-matrix was very much improved due to cross linking reaction of polymer and metal ions of cement. Tensile strength of insoluble polymers added composites as linearly increased with increasing the fiber contents. The epoxy resin added specimen also showed highest tensile strength. The 4% fiber added specimen presented 30~80% higher strength than controlled specimen.

이전의 연구에서 기존의 ATY 장치에 ITY 노즐을 접목하여 개조한 사가공기로 제조한 탄성복합사를 자동차 시트용 트리코트 원단으로 편직하여 일광견뢰도가 우수한 염료를 선정하고 $125^{\circ}C$에서 염색하여야 견뢰도와 spandex의 물성을 저해하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 폴리에스테르 탄성복합사의 염색성 평가에 이어 본 연구에서는 나일론 필라멘트 (70/24, Full-dull, 2ply사와 40D spandex 1ply사 복합)와 레이온사(75D, 1ply)를 투입하여 직물 원단(중량 216g/yd, 밀도 경사 78, 위사 52본/inch)을 제직한 후 2욕에서의 염색공정을 거칠 경우, 탄성복합사의 견뢰도와 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 나일론, 레이온, 폴리우레탄의 3종 원단을 염색성 평가를 위하여 반응성염료로 먼저 레이온 부분을 염색한 후 산성염료로 나일론 부분을 염색하였으며, 이 때 spandex가 미치는 영향을 비교하기 위하여 spandex가 함유되지 않은 나일론, 레이온 복합 제직원단도 함께 염색한 후 견뢰도를 평가하였다. 또한, 레이온 부분은 CPB염색법과 제트염색기로 나누어 염색하여 염색기에 따른 인장강도와 인열강도를 평가하였다. 레이온 염색에는 셀룰로오스용 2관능기 반응성염료 3원색을 이용하여 khaki color로 combination염색하였으며, 나일론 부분에는 입자크기가 커서 견뢰도가 우수한 산성염료를 선정하여 combination염색한 후 냉수세하였다. 견뢰도를 비교한 결과, spandex가 포함된 탄성복합사 원단과 나일론과 레이온 만으로 제직된 원단 모두 세탁, 마찰, 물, 땀, 일광 견뢰도 모두가 4~5급으로 우수하여 spandex에 이염된 염료가 견뢰도에 미치는 영향은 없음을 확인하였다. 또한, 레이온 부분의 반응성염료 염색 시 CPB와 제트염색법의 두 가지 종류에 대한 인장강도와 인열강도 평가결과는 CPB 염색물이 제트염색물보다 약간 높게 나타났지만 3% 이내의 차이로 거의 차이가 없음을 나타내었다. 일반적으로 제트염색 시 원단은 로프상으로 이동하고, CPB염법은 확포상태 그대로 염색되기 때문에 제트염색 시 강도가 낮아지는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 본 연구에서는 탄성복합사를 경사, 위사 모두 사용함으로써 spandex가 신장하는 특성 때문에 강도의 저하가 없는 것으로 사료된다.
