광자 (photon)를 이용하여 정보의 전달, 표시, 감지 그리고 저장이 가능한 다양한 형태의 소자들은 현재 그 주를 이루고 있는 전자 (electron)가 매개인 소자를 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 가지고 활발히 연구되고 있다. 전자의 움직임은 재료 내에 주기적으로 배열되어 있는 원자나 분자의 결정구조에 의해 제어된다. 이는 전도밴드 (conduction band)와 원자가 밴드(valance band) 사이에 존재하는 전자 밴드갭 (electronic band gap)을 조절함으로써 가능하다. 이와 유사한 개념으로 광자의 움직임은 유전체의 주기적인 배열을 통해서 가능함이 제안되었다. 규칙적인 유전체의 결정구조를 가진 재료에 빛이 조사되었을 때, 그 재료를 통과하지 못하는 특정파장이 결정되며 이를 광자 밴드갭 (photonic band gap: PBG)이라 한다.

과거 10여 년 간 Electro-Active Polymer(EAP) 분야는 큰 변형을 낼 수 있는 지능재료들이 출현함에 따라 인공근육을 만들 수 있는 가능성으로 인해 많은 관심이 모아지고 있다. EAP는 외부의 자극에 따라 큰 변위를 생성할 뿐만 아니라 근육과 같이 탄력성이 있는, 다른 재료기술들이 낼 수 없는 특성과 성능을 가지고 있다. EAP가 갖는 생체근육과 같은 작동을 할 수 있는 가능성은 곧 공상과학의 꿈을 이루고자하는 희망을 갖게 하며 인류의 문명발전에 크게 기여할 것이다. EAP는 차세대 마이크로 로봇, 오락산업 또는 초소형 비행체의 구동과 같은 인공근육 작동기의 응용분야를 창출하고 있다. EAP 작동기의 응용성은 폭넓으며 새로운 기술혁신의 기대를 불러 일으키고 있다.

Extremely dense WC with a relative density of up to 99% was obtained within five minutes under a pressure of 80 MPa using the High-Frequency Induction Heated Sintering method. The average grain size of the WC was about 71 nm. The advantage of this process is not only rapid densification to obtain a neartheoretical density but also the prohibition of grain growth in nano-structured materials. The hardness and fracture toughness of the dense WC produced by HFIHS were $2660kg{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ and $7.2MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively.

The layered compounds vanadium disulfide($VS_2$) and vanadium dioxide($VO_2$) intercalated with Li are investigated for using the Discrete Variational $(DV)-X{\alpha}$ molecular orbital method. The chemical bonding properties of the atoms were examined by bond overlap population of electronic states. The plot of density of states supports the covalent bonding properties by showing the overlap between the atoms. There is a strong tendency of covalent bonding between V-S and V-O. The intensity of covalent bonding of $VS_2$ is stronger than $VO_2$. The net charge of $LiVO_2$ is higher than that of $LiVS_2$. This results of the calculation of $VO_2$ and $VS_2$ indicate that $(DV)-X{\alpha}$ method can be widely applied in the new practical materials.

Hydrogen permeation through dense palladium-based membranes has attracted the attention of many scientists largely due to their unmatched potential as hydrogen-selective membranes for membrane reactor applications. Although it is well known that the permeation mechanism of hydrogen through Pd involves various processes such as dissociative adsorption, transitions to and from the bulk Pd, diffusion within Pd, and recombinative desorption, it is still unclear which process mainly limits hydrogen permeation at a given temperature and hydrogen partial pressure. In this study, we report an all-electron density-functional theory study of hydrogen permeation through Pd membrane (using VASP code). Especially, we focus on the variation of the energy barrier of the penetration process from the surface to the bulk with hydrogen coverage, which means the large reduction of the fracture stress in the brittle crack propagation considering Griffith's criterion. It is also found that the penetration energy barrier from the surface to the bulk largely decreases so that it almost vanishes at the coverage 1.25, which means that the penetration process cannot be the rate determining process.

In this study, the international standard ISO TS 16774 Part 3 Test Method for Water (wash out) Resistance and KS F 4935 ｢Sealant Injection type for water leakage maintenance of adhesive flexible rubber asphalt series｣, which are standardized as a quality control method of injection type repair materials used for water leakage cracks in underground concrete structures, are currently used in Korea. As a result, considering the performance criteria of "mass change rate -0.1%" stipulated in KS F 4935, the remaining 13 types repair materials, excluding RG-2 of synthetic rubber and UG-1 of urethane, need to be reviewed for stabilization of the loss resistance due to the flow of ground water. The results of this study are determined to be available as a basic indicator for the selection of repair materials used for cracks in concrete structures. In addition, it is expected that the results of this study can be utilized as reference data that can be reflected in the improvement of the quality of repair materials that will be researched and developed later.

The mechanical and thermal properties of PAN-based/rayon-based carbon fabrics interply hybrid composite materials have been studied. Mechanical properties including tensile and interlaminar shear strengths were improved with increasing amount of continuous PAN-based carbon fabrics. The erosion rate and insulation index were determined through the torch test. Continuous rayon-based carbon fabrics composite indicated relatively low ablation resistant property. The thermal conductivity of hybrid composite of spun PAN-based/continuous rayon-based carbon fabrics is lower than that of the continuous PAN-based carbon fabrics composite.

This article focuses how the materials of hatstrings of the 19th to 20th century gat, the Korean top hat for men among the collections of National Folk Museum of Korea, was transformed after port opening treaties with overseas since 1876. As a result of analyzing the materials of the hatstrings, amber, tortoiseshell, wood and bamboo as the traditional materials were used, and ivory, glass (soda glass, lead glass, alkali mixed glass) and plastics (cellulose nitrate, phenol-formaldehyde, polystyrene, acryl) were newly used for the hatstrings. Bamboo, wood and amber were the most frequently used materials. Bamboo was mainly used for the pipe of hatstring and were combined with beads and central decorations of other materials. This shows the trend of bamboo hatstring according to the simplification of the clothing and the culture by Regent Heungseon Daewongun. Ambers were used in the central decorations and beads and the origin of ambers was baltic amber just like the amber relics found in Korea. Compositions of glass were soda glass and alkali mixed glass which were excavated or handed down in Korea from ancient times to Joseon dynasty. But in the case of lead glass, Na2O was detected and it is considered to be a new type lead glass for crafts which came from overseas after port opening since 1876 because it showed the characteristic that it deviates from the lead glass component found in Korea. Plastics such as cellulose nitrate and phenol-formaldehyde were used as new synthetic materials to replace traditional materials such as tortoiseshell, amber, and coral as in the West. Cracks, crazing, crumbly and yellowing of cellulose nitrate of hatstrings were observed by deterioration. The survey of the materials of the 19th to 20th century hatstrings among the collections of National Folk Museum of Korea showed that the introduction of new materials such as glass and plastics were used to replace natural materials such as tortoiseshell and amber along with the use of traditional materials after port opening since 1876.

In this study, a new simple method for the estimation of hyperelastic material properties by indentation tests is proposed. Among hyperelastic material models, the Yeoh model with three material properties ($C_{10}$, $C_{20}$, $C_{30}$) is adopted to describe the strain energy density in terms of strain invariants. Finite element simulations of the spherical indentation of hyperelastic materials of the Yeoh model with different material properties are performed to establish a database of indentation force-displacement curves. The indentation force-displacement curves are fitted by cubic polynomials, which are approximated as a product of third-order polynomials of ($C_{10}$, $C_{20}$, $C_{30}$). A regression analysis is conducted to determine the coefficients of the equations for the indentation force-displacement curve approximations. A regression equation is used to estimate the hyperelastic material properties. The present method is verified by comparing the estimated material properties with true values.

Waterproofing techniques used in underground structures do not reflect material and construction environments, but rely only on material properties, which inevitably lead to their limits in durable life. In particular, the government intends to investigate the current underground water treatment method and analyze the problems in order to prevent serious corrosion and aging of structures caused by underground water leaks and poor construction.
